2nd leg - sell it out

[worcesterhibby]

I've copied and pasted this from earlier for those asking.

A sell out won't get butcher any money at all. We only get 25 percent of the gate. The spfl get 50 percent and hamilton 25. We need to put in the 75 percent of the cost for our 8,000 season ticket holders who are getting in for free.

6,000 @ 10
2,000 @ 5

Is 70,000 of which 75 percent is 52,500.

Even of we sell the other 12,500 @ 10, we'd only make 31,250. Before costs!!


Don't worry RP has invited Nade to the match and has put him right next to the catering outlet..we should make the remaining £20,000 on pies

[JHFC]

will we be able to sell the tier above Hamilton if needs be?

[trev the hat]

Brilliant view of ground from up there...

Yip & best view of 3 Sold out stands full of hibees.

No. You cannot have rival fans sitting above or below each other.

[TornadoHibby]

No. You cannot have rival fans sitting above or below each other.

When we used to get put into the Broomloan Lower at Ibrox, there were always Huns above us throwing pies, hot drinks and the like down at us! :rolleyes:

[Leithenhibby]

I'd guess that there is less than 1,000 tickets available!!

Considering the season we have had, that is a remarkable effort from the fans. :not worth

Agree I got pelted with coins when we won 3-0 in the cup. Also it's allowed down South, although league rules may be different.

[NAE NOOKIE]

What a chance for the film makers and photographers on here to grab a seat in the South and get some shots of a full, hopefully rocking Easter Road from an away fans perspective.

Have to say I'm amazed that we have had to open sections in the South upper too .... what a fantastic effort by the fans cheapo prices or not ........... there is real hope for this club.

[Ringothedog]

Just donate through at Kids for Kicks. This allows a young disadvantaged child to go to the games and every penny is given to the managers fund. Lots of people do this but more are very welcome.

Good shout SS, I've just donated £10 for Sunday's match ticket acquired courtesy of my season ticket, and added an extra £10. Money will be in the Leith Links account on Monday: http://leithlinks4kids.com/

Agreed, but years ago.

In recent seasons we have been in the corner with nobody above us.

[Currie Hibee]

Potentially my bad, was in Broomloan Lower. Could have been been the numb nuts to the side if there were none above.

Anyway I guess the point is still valid if we filled the top tier, they were below.

[blackpoolhibs]

Incredible, this has surpassed anything i thought we'd get. I thought maybe 13k to 14k max, but the support have done us proud once again. :top marks

If Hamilton have not sold the upper tier then if need be hibs fans could be above them in the upper. The front few rows could be taped off to stop fans being directly above although I'm not sure how segregation would actually inside the stand. Don't think it will come to that though.

[hibbytillidie]

Their crowd on Wednesday was actually pretty poor and a lot of them left after the second goal. Mind you, those leaving so early might have been disappointed Yams :greengrin so I'd be surprised if they even bring 1000 and the Yams who were planning to come will no doubt have now decided to go shoplifting instead.

[HibeeHendo]

Am I able to pick up my tickets tomorrow?

[Hermit Crab]

Am I able to pick up my tickets tomorrow?


Yes, you and hundreds of others.

[Scouse Hibee]

Unbelievable turnout by Hibs supporters and fans for this one, if only we could convert those part time fans into regular supporters for every game. Will be great to see a decent crowd on Sunday hopefully creating a great atmosphere.

[HibeeHendo]

Yes, you and hundreds of others.

I'll be sure to get there early

[Keith_M]

19000 hibbys will be in ground


I don't think that's possible.

Hibs have given Hamilton, 1900 tickets and there'll about 700 empty seats for segregation (two sections). If you subtract that from the capacity, it leaves 17,800.

However, if we do get that many, it's a lot more than I imagined... and probably our biggest support at ER for decades.

[147lothian]

I recon Hamilton will bring less than 1000 they have a piss poor support, always have, they are lucky to get 1000 at a home game most of the time

[Aldo]

Agreed, but years ago. In recent seasons we have been in the corner with nobody above us.

I mind being there when Houchen scored I think we won one nil. Rained coins spit etc.

[AlanGF69]

I've got a couple of tickets for my young son and I for high up on the West Stand, but does anyone know (just curious) how many seats/tickets are left?

[AlanGF69]

Pish support. Imagine having 500 left. :greengrin

[down-the-slope]

No rule on segregation being set distance - have seen as little as 6 rows before - will be up to club / stewards. If we get any section above then generally a couple of rows at front are left empty

[AlanGF69]

500

Wow, and there's still time for more tickets to be sold. Just wonder if our fans will fill every seat!

Perhaps, though I doubt it, one of the commentators might just spot this disparity and mention how Hibs (with 18,000 fans) are a better thing for the Premier League than the opposition numbers which represent a barely decent queue for the loos at a Take That concert.

Why anyone really wants to have a team like Hamilton in the league is beyond me. Scottish football is already a joke and three men and a dug teams just drag it down further.

The fact that, after a terrible season, 18000 Hibs fans can turn up for a game hopefully largely already won, should at least make them pause for thought. Admittedly the perfomance of the team is unlikely to do the same.

[Glory Lurker]

Thanks, Dug and Radium - on the case.

[One Day Soon]

Well I've just persuaded one of my mates to go and thats another ticket bought for the South Stand. Going to call another couple of them now and try and push them to go too. I think if everyone did this we could sell out all the seats that Hamilton don't have on allocation.

[Scouse Hibee]

Thanks, Dug and Radium - on the case.

Let's know how you get on.

[iwasthere1972]

No. You cannot have rival fans sitting above or below each other.

They do at Loftus Road.

Why is this game a near sell out?
Cheap tickets?
Important game?
Nothing better to do?

If it's the case that £10 tickets = sell out, surely we should be looking at bringing down prices for Cat B games. Personally, I'm only going because I got a free ticket, but I'd consider going, and taking my son, if tickets were £5-£10.

Im a a S/T holder and if hibs were to lower the prices they could compensate us by including cup games and refunding the top up for example. I'm all for lower prices to encourage big crowds.

Not all of them, as Hamilton fans will be in the lower sections of these blocks


Im im guessing Hamilton will have sold the lower first. If all top tier is unsold then hibs could sell them to walk up home fans.

Its a very important game. If it was hibs vs Ross county in the middle of the season in a pretty meaningless game then 10 & 5 quid tickets wouldnt put on many punters I'm afraid. Get the Crystal Palace cheerleaders in them it's a different story.

The only thing that I can see stopping it (presuming Hamilton have not sold any upper tickets) is the segregation inside the stand as hibs fans would over effectively in Hamiltons half. Can the stand be segregated successfully inside? Also exiting without meeting Hamilton fans inside the stand might be a problem.

Why is this game a near sell out?
Cheap tickets?
Important game?
Nothing better to do?

If it's the case that £10 tickets = sell out, surely we should be looking at bringing down prices for Cat B games. Personally, I'm only going because I got a free ticket, but I'd consider going, and taking my son, if tickets were £5-£10.

I think entry to SPL matches is too expensive, but I also understand why. Compared to even the lower leagues in England, the TV and league sponsorship money is pitiful so to have any hope of competing wage-wise, the money has to come directly from the supporters' pocket.

While £10 entry probably would see higher attendances, income would still be reduced. There's no way that every game would sell out. I remember a a match against Dundee years ago that was stopped due to fog. There was no ticket stubs or voucher system in place, so the replayed match was free entry. Only 8,000 turned up.

I don't think that reducing entry by £2-3 would make any great difference to attendances.

Entertainment and/or excitement is the only thing that will work IMO.

[weonlywon6-2]

Im a a S/T holder and if hibs were to lower the prices they could compensate us by including cup games and refunding the top up for example. I'm all for lower prices to encourage big crowds.

So am i,footie prices are crazy ,they couldnt announce it now ,it would have to be for the next season

Cheap tickets and the seasons most important home game. Either driver on their own would be neither here nor there but together = near sell out. Just what Hibs were hoping for.

You'd pay £400 for a season ticket if it only cost £190 to attend all home league games as a walk up?

This is defo safest way to make sure you are guaranteed a ticket you would think a few more will get shifted tomorrow morning by print at home so there could be very few for sale at pods unless the soth upper above Hamilton support is made available to Hibs fans

[007 Mickey Weir]

I think we are seeing last batch of tickets selling. Hamilton were given top and bottom of south stand. They have only sold half of there allocation. But it is spread over the two I think.

Thsts a shame. If it had only been the bottom then hibs could have used the surplus upper tickets. Then again if the amount sold does not surpass the amount of seats available in the lower section then hibs could in theory only put Hamilton fans in the lower and tell them sit anywhere and not go by seat/row numbers.

It's a league rule mate, you cannot have opposing fans sitting directly above or below each other.

That is why any segregation of two sets of fans is always done vertically.

Ibrox was one of the main reasons this was introduced as visiting fans were abused for years from the upper Broomloan.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i reckon we've shifted just under 18,000(inc the south and assuming the West is 6400 after the pitch got moved) and the 18,000 doesn't include accies fans


East 6400
West 6400
FF 3829
South 3943

=20,572



anyway, enough dot counting for moi :greengrin

Is this just a Scottish League ruling as QPR segregate the home and away fans horizontally.

Like For Visiting Supporters?
Away fans are situated in the upper tier of the School End, where around 1,800 fans can be accommodated. If demand requires it then the lower tier can also be allocated, increasing the number of places available to about 2,500. If the away club only takes the upper tier allocation, then the lower tier is allocated to home supporters.

I believe it is a Scottish thing.

A few clubs complained about their supporters being abused when sitting below other fans.

The main offenders of course were the cream buns but we were also guilty IIRC. On one occasion which might have also been a Hibs Kids day Killie supporters were getting drinks and other objects hurtled down on them from above.

Following this ruling we got the corner at Ibrox below the screen and we started to divide the south vertically.

It appears to be a sensible ruling and I often wondered how QPR were allowed to segregate the way they do. I can't believe that they don't have any unsavoury incidents such as the ones you mention.

[ChooseLife]

I've left my ticket in a mate's car and I might not be able to get it off him before the game - can I prove that I booked the ticket and get in or will I be refused?!

Go to the ticket office early doors with ID and if you paid by card bring that too, they can print you off a new one and invalidate the old ticket

We all know the potential is there - that's why it can be so frustrating supporting this club at times! :greengrin

We call those who go to cup finals glory hunters - what do we call those who come out for relegation :confused::greengrin

It doesn't bother me if fans go to every game or one game and support the club - we are all HIBS :aok:

Great response from everyone and ER should be electric - with the game live on TV we can make some noise and show the rest of the UK we are still alive and kicking!

Maybe some who go today will enjoy it and want to buy at ST so lets just hope Hibs put in a performance and stay up!

I don't care if all the tickets are sold or not, I'm going to tell everyone that it was and brag about the 10,000 fans who were locked out.

There will always be spaces at a sell-out because inevitably people can't make it. My son has woke up feeling Ill so he can't go today so his seat will be empty. Season ticket holders might be working or on holiday or any number of things.

I suppose Hamilton's spaces mean the game won't be a sell-out but our end is really looking like it.

This is nothing like other times when blocks show up as sold because they'd been printed for the pods. Hibs have announced three stands as sold out and our bit of the South is nearly there.
