Anyone think it could be a big crowd (not including Rangers fans) or just the usual?

At £28 a ticket I doubt it.

just the usual. Folk are skint. Expect a sellout in the hunnery end though.

Theres that many of them that a boycott would never work. There would always be roasters who'd buy tickets.

I expect the crowd to be in the region of between 13-14,000.

Assuming they sell out we should get more than this as traditionally the Festive Fixtures get an uplift as folk are home for x mass that may not have been for a while and it's a decent fixture and we have just won back to back games for first time so let's go on and make it three in a row

Only 1 home game over the Festive period so should be a decent crowd and a win puts us right in with a shout for 2nd place.

Just bought a half season ticket so looking forward to it.

I think if we had priced it sensibly it could have been a sell out. Great chance to sell to dads and sons at this time of year (and people visiting families in Edinburgh) but I think we have got it wrong at £28 a ticket (not sure how much concessions are).

Expect a sellout in the hunnery end though...That can't be surely, i thought they were going to boycott all the teams that supposedly wanted them out of the league and we were one of the first teams to be targeted,still,they said they did'nt do walking away either..ahem.

Agreed. My boys are over from Spain and I was thinking about taking them. 28 quid for me and 17 each for them. Add the booking fees etc and it's nearly 70 quid, for a second tier game. That is ridiculously pricey.

£28 is a scandal but i expect around 16K. A win would be our best home result since we last beat Hearts at home and set us up nicely for the derby.

For the record - I didn't pay a booking fee by contacting the ticket office directly.

£28 + £14 for a child (taking the piss, but that's the price).

Feel free to correct me (and i'm sure many will jump at the chance :greengrin) but are the prices for these games not already known well in advance? i'm being serious....as every big game that comes up we seem to have lots of fans suddenly shocked at the prices and threads such as this gets filled with posts from fans who seem totally surprised/shocked at the prices of tickets?

I always thought it was known well before, maybe at the start of season just how much it would be yet still we have people shocked/surprised? :confused:

Folk moaning about ticket prices again, shock. Massive game so if you can afford it and have the time there's really no excuse for not being in attendance. What are you wanting, a freebie? Are some really that miserable and no going because it's £28 a ticket and not, say for arguments sake, £22? Not going and being pissy over £6?

I've worked the last 4 weekends so I am absolutely buzzing for this. We'lol beat them and I cant wait to be there to see it.

Spot on Sean. Breaking news.......the other 2 home games against Rangers and yams will also be £28. Get the excuses in now. Easter, Mother's Day

Alternatively people could buy half season tickets to bring the average cost down and help funds for the January transfer window

It's not about folk not being able to afford the £28, it's more to do with Value for money.

I could afford to pay £10 for a Mars Bar but I'm not going to as its not good value for money.

The majority moaning about the price will be able to afford it but the point is, it's overpriced.

I'll be there anyway as I just bought a 1/2 season tick but I can totally get why folk grudge £28 for 1 game.

If someone was undecided about going, this price would probably be the deciding factor for them not to bother IMO

So would you be happy if it was £34 a ticket? After all that would only be another pissy £6.

No it wouldn't, it would be an extra £12...

The fans agreed to no refund on Premiership priced season tickets at the start of the season in order for us to operate on the same budget. This means walk up prices the same as you'd find in the top tear. If you're not happy don't buy one. Simples.

True, and sadly many folk simply can't afford those prices, particularly at this time of year. £84 quid for a family of four on walk ups - that's a dear do.

I think we'll get a decent crowd. Won't be near a sell out but with a big away support I don't think 15000ish is unrealistic.

It's a huge game, if you can afford it and are in Edinburgh then get along and support your team.

Biggest game of the season for us, against a very average The Rangers team. We simply need to get 3 points if we want to finish 2nd this season.

But you will never know if it will be value for money until after the game.

If we win 5-0 then IMO it is value for money, if we lose 5-0 then it isn't.

Season tickets are the best value, especially if you have kids. With an adult kids get in for next to nothing.
However, I get the feeling that even if the club were letting the crowd in for free some would still manage to find an excuse not to go.

Leeann Dempster stated at the time when she announced that there wouldn't be any refunds for season tickets bought before our relegation that one of the reasons for her decision was that it was only around 5% who had been in touch saying that they wanted any refund.

I reckon it will be around the 15k mark for this match. Some people have reasons for staying away, others have reasons to not miss it. Either way I'll be there, I'll support my team, not boooooooo and with a little bit if luck, we can make it 3 in a row and 3 points closer to 2nd.

I do think that catching the yams is now out if sight, and I've made peace with it. But that extra place gives us better chances in the play offs and I'm not writing off promotion at the be of the season. We are very much still in it.

Now having said all that, I'm away to hit some Xmas cheer.

:agree: I believe there is a cut off point for some folk, football is pricing itself out of the folk who are not the die hards in my opinion.

Folk are picking their games these days, and rightly or wrongly is his classed as a special game these days for them not so regular fans?

So, no excuses on my part but still think it's an own goal from the Club.

Spoke to three ex season ticket holders tonight of the past few years and not one of them is going to the Huns game. They all thought the price was ridiculous considering our position and the fact it is on TV as well . Pricing has to be addressed next year.

Expect 14-16k at the game.

Not too bad Billy.

The ground always sells in roughly the same order.

In the East the middle sections go first and already for the three most central it is already getting tight if you want two seats together.

Sections 40, 41 and 42 will either sell out completely or be very close. Section 43 will start to then sell heavily and then inroads will be made into section 44. At the other end 39 will go a bit slower than 43 but will get there and then 38 will start to fill up. The small end sections 37 and 45 will only sell once the others have sold. I would think a minimum of 5800 with the outside chance of it selling out.

The West sells out in a V shape. Section 5 is sold out and sections 4 and 6 have around 60 tickets left between them. On the top tier section 13 only has single seats left and 14 is going well too. Towards the away end section twelve is going well but 11 not doing as well as 14. Sections 1,2,8 and 9 in the lower probably wont do much until later on in the week, same with 10 and 14 in the upper. I would estimate around 4000 in the West.

The North lower always sells in the same manner as the East, centre out. The upper is a bit more random but section 25 will be the last to sell. I reckon around 2500 to 3000 come kick off.

From the above I reckon the crowd will be in the region of 17000.

The West sells out in a V shape. Section 5 is sold out and sections 4 and 6 have around 60 tickets left between them. On the top tier section 13 only has single seats left and 14 is going well too. Towards the away end section twelve is going well but 11 not doing as well as 14. Sections 1,2,8 and 9 in the lower probably wont do much until later on in the week, same with 10 and 14 in the upper. I would estimate around 4000 in the West.

The North lower always sells in the same manner as the East, centre out. The upper is a bit more random but section 25 will be the last to sell. I reckon around 2500 to 3000 come kick off.

From the above I reckon the crowd will be in the region of 17000.

Thanks, you should be a fans rep on how to sell the match tickets. Cheaper seats in the wings, and more expensive in central areas. A bit like the theatre

Spoke to three ex season ticket holders tonight of the past few years and not one of them is going to the Huns game. They all thought the price was ridiculous considering our position and the fact it is on TV as well . Pricing has to be addressed next year.

Expect 14-16k at the game.
Do you think they would have rushed out and bought a ticket if they were say £22? I doubt it and think TV is a bigger factor. We all know Hibs fans who have stopped attending and some of them will only return when we get back to the top league and are doing better. Others are gone forever.

Got to agree that the Chairman has really messed up again here. I don't care how much more season ticket holders have paid, there is a massive game for the club and opportunity to sell out the ground for The Rangers game. Instead fans who have lapsed are shown the wrath of the board with a ticket price of £28! I seriously believe that Police Scotland have prevented Hibs selling £15 tickets. That is the price they should be.
Why is my football club so incompetent on pricing the product. Better to generate an atmosphere, does the board not know we have to get out of this division, anything less is unacceptable for Hibernian Football Club.

We would have no season ticket holders next season and don't worry about the atmosphere, that will be fine as long as Hibs are competitive. Football in Scotland is generally too expensive for the standard we get but Hibs should not be singled out for this. It's an expensive time of year but there will be a decent crowd on Saturday.

But agree.... £28 for a lower league football match is simply bonkers, smacks of profiteering, shows a lack of imagination/vision and reinforces the perception that they see Hibs fans as an income stream rather than part of a welcoming family.

You work Saturdays but to be fair you could have been on the data base by now by attending a game on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday or Sunday.

However I do feel you have a very valid point, one which does cost Hibs money.

Bath rigby ticketing down here does that. Tickets along the side but behind the try line are cheaper than seats in line with the half way line, by about £15 IIRC.

If all season ticket holders didn't renew and waited to get in for £15 there would be no Hibs within two seasons.

£28 to go to any Scottish football match is robbery, never mind one in the second tier, but that's the standard price nowadays.

As others have said already in response to this post, why should season ticket holders pay full price but people who don't go to any other matches and may only be going as a one off, get in for almost half the price?

I don't think that will catch on somehow.

That is correct. But maybe this game would be an opportunity to get back lapsed fans with a "special offer" that might in turn mean they come back as half ST holders for the rest of the season.

Could just be a special offer to lapsed ST holders of which I am sure there must be thousands.

After somebody gets something really cheap it is very difficult to convert that in to a full price sale afterwards. I would hazard a guess that price is not the main reason lapsed season ticket holders don't come back.

Also comes down to if the individual feels they are being ripped off - which at £28 a ticket they are.

Dundee Utd v Celtic there was £22 & £25. Aberdeen v Celtic was £20, £24 & £28. All top 3 sides in the premier league pushing for the league and European spots. (I see Aberdeen also knock £2 of your ticket if you buy in advance). An extremely average Hibs side against a 3 year lower league club with no history in the first division somehow manages to cost £28. 64% price increase on our last fixture away to Raith and a 27% increase on our category b home games. Even the ****bos are cheaper for the same fixture with adult prices costing £23, £24 & £26 (with platinum also available at £30).

Of course that's true, we more or less sold out vs hearts at the start of this year but were nowhere near close when we drew 1-1.

People are more likely to spend the 28 quid if they think we will win and regardless of how mince rangers are we've been consistently inconsistent this season and people don't want to spend 28 quid at Christmas to be disappointed. Of course some people genuinely can't afford it and unfortunately given the price that's probably a higher amount than at 20 buck. But that's business.

Based on 4,000 rangers fans an 8 drop would see us needing another 1,600 sales just to break even and I doubt that would happen.

My point is, it's easy to support a winning team. Last time we were relegated, we kept the prices at Premier League levels as well yet once we got over the initial tough couple of games and started winning every week nobody mentioned ticket prices and crowds were excellent. Similar to Hearts this season. I don't think they are watching a 'vastly different quality of product', they just stole a march on us due to our squad not being in place for the start of the season. They hit the ground running, we didn't. Now I think there is very little between the teams yet they are getting 15k compared to our 7k whilst paying similar prices.

People are choosing not to go for various reasons. Most of my crowd who aren't going are just scunnered from the last few years rather than cost but cost is the easy reason to trot out.

I agree people aren't going for a number of reasons. But that team you refer to last time we were in Div 2 were well worth paying to go and see. The quality was exceptional compared to the current product. Personally I was loath to complain when watching a team led by Sauzee, Latapy etc were entertaining me every week. Also if a team have been poor for years they lose support (not like normal customers who buy a different product - but people just stop going to any football in Scotland). A long period of ownership/management by remote/incompetent people has taken its toll. Fans may still turn out for a one off game but I think the current regime has eroded the support base to a degree they don't understand.

Last time the Board talked positively about a "great adventure" and backed that with some of the best signings we've seen at Hibs in 40 years. Sauzee, Latapy, Mixu were all more than worth the Prem prices and gave us some great memories. The difference between then and now is vast.

Yes and put us in huge debt which we were lucky enough to sell our way out of. If we had £6k per week to hand out we could have that standard of player again but we can't.

Come on, that is hardly adding to the discussion. He was clearly meaning the same prices as now. Fwiw, I agree with him to an extent, but probably not twice as many.

Hearts are nearly getting double the amount of punters as us but their prices are considerably cheaper.

£28 for a cat a game in the championship, kick off is at 12:15? It's on TV and it's just after Xmas? Hopefully they get a decent crowd but I think the ticket pricing is too high. Especially kids tickets under 5s should be free....etc.

We really do price people away from ER the fact that we haven't played well for a number of season has made it easier for supporters to stay away and they will be difficult to encourage back longterm!

ye to be fair i was only half joking but i think thats the point i feel is price IS a factor.

as for your point regarding hearts i think the difference between us and them is they were organised.Ok they sorta KNEW there were down andm maybe planned better for it, but didn't they geta new manager prehaps 2-3 weeks BEFORE us.?

I do not feel we are worse than them off the pitch as some people make out imo

It's quite simply the biggest game of our season....

Win and we have the momentum going into Hearts game and I think we will catch Rangers and finish 2nd.

Get beat and we could struggle.

Granted the prices are high but what else you gonna do, sit in and listen to the Mrs again for another day....

It's Rangers we are playing for the first time in years no Alloa or Dumbarton, beating Rangers just after Xmas with a great atmosphere, I don't think you can put a price on that...

Totally agree massive especially on a day alot of people will be looking to get out and do something given the over indulgence of the previous 2 days. Personally think we have a cracking chance though wont be easy at all.

As you say a decent result and we go onto the Hearts game on the back of a good run.

It may have only been official come the end of the season however Levein and Budge had been in talks for months about Neilson getting the job. So much was already in place for them to kick on. The only person who didn't know was Locke.

ye fair enough, I guwess my point in a roundabout way was how fast they acted sorta thing whilst we didn't we waited and waited and waited,(thus losing time n stuff) and bang pre seaon has started(or there abouts) and we sack our manager, and wait, and get dis organised sorta thing.(sorry its not what this thread is about though)

As others have said, it's 28 quid here we're talking about.....28 quid! People will spend that in a pub, on a meal etc easy! This is Hibs and Rangers. If we're winning the game 3-0 (our usual against that lot) there will be no other place you'd rather be than Easter Road!

You can't say it's too high and not worth the money, until the game unfolds and comes to an end, and believe me, you won't see a single thread complaining about the 28 pound after we beat them on Saturday!

Stop being tight. Get yourself along to Easter Road!

This is purely a hypothetical question. I know it's far too late to do this now, and there will be all sorts of reasons why it can't happen bla bla bla. But I'm just surmising there would maybe be fairly close to a full house?

For what it's worth , I think £28 is too much given our current situation and if I didn't have a season I might think twice . However, as somebody else pointed out its easy to come out and support your team when you are winning most weeks not so when your team is struggling. You could argue that this is one of the most difficult times in the clubs history and it is at times like this that the club needs the backing of its supporters more than ever.
My message is , if you are genuinely a Hibs supporter and you can afford it get out and buy a ticket for Saturday and get behind the team.

That's true but going to games is definitely a habit and we probably all know folk who used to be regulars but haven't been for years. The 28 quid will stop people coming back and will make people think twice about walking up on the day.
Lets just hope it's as fun as the last trip to ibrox.

It's easy to break the habit last season there 9 of with STs now there are 5. Of the other 2 have not been back at 1 once and the other 3 times. These were guys who were at every home game and went away. But they say they don't miss it. Until we have a winning team fans are not coming back. But on the ticket price Saturday's match is the most expensive in Scotland over Xmas followed by Hearts game at New Year. Clearly football in Edinburgh is way overpriced

I agree that football is overpriced, i do think its an easy excuse for some though.. I personally think that over the course of the season the ticket prices are a joke, especially given the standard of football. I do however feel that fans should be turning up in numbers for these games (hearts and rangers at easter road) if you look through attendances through our history these games have always had far bigger attendances than the other league matches.. It would be great if a lot of the support (who understandably) dont go every week now made the effort for the big games, it really does make a difference seeing easter road full and rocking..

Big games need a big support ! the extra man and the pull through that the atmosphere and intensity gives the players, the encouragement to work hard and commit to pull or drive through to get a result....never underestimate how influential good support can be.

I totally get some fans disillusionment, but can anyone sitting on the fence undecided or even saying no, get your true hibby head on and get down to this match on Saturday ...I personally think it will be a cracker ....with loads happening and that we have what it takes to get the result we need.

Folk moaning about ticket prices again, shock. Massive game so if you can afford it and have the time there's really no excuse for not being in attendance. What are you wanting, a freebie? Are some really that miserable and no going because it's £28 a ticket and not, say for arguments sake, £22? Not going and being pissy over £6?

I've worked the last 4 weekends so I am absolutely buzzing for this. We'lol beat them and I cant wait to be there to see it.

Well said Sean!

Looking forward to it already and have some family and friends going too.

I bought 1 online a couple of weeks ago and selected 1st class post.

After 10 days it wasn't here so phoned them up and it was sitting in the ticket office waiting to be picked up so went in to get it Chrimbo Eve.

So chances are its still in the ticket office as they have to make them up and if it's been busy this might take a few days.

If you don't get it, I'm sure the Ticket Office will accommodate some temporary solution for this game.

For Cat A games, it is not possible to purchase a ticket before you have bought and attended a Cat B home fixture, please contact the Ticket Office during office hours on 0844 844 1875 option 2


I can't buy some tickets for this game if I have not attended a CAT B game?

Host accurate is this?

It won't be far off

Using the website stadium plan.....I had had a few drinks when I counted the dots after everyone had gone to sleep :greengrin
It depends on every season ticket holder and all other ticket buyers turning up.
If anyone wants to count 3757 spots go ahead.( it'll be less now)

A large amount of season tickets are kids ones. I know mine don't go to the bigger games and would expect that to be quite common.

Someone had a similar problem a couple of days ago. They changed from Google chrome to Internet explorer. Alternatively try another block

Yes and put us in huge debt which we were lucky enough to sell our way out of. If we had £6k per week to hand out we could have that standard of player again but we can't. Get real, you either support Hibs,warts and all or you come along when things are all nice and rosy. A lot of the latter on here.

Right then Sherlock. Tell us all how genius Petrie managed to put a team with crowds @ 10k ? And all else involved, against teams with 4/5/6k attendences into the division below, AFTER we were "lucky" enough to have sold our way out of debt? This is Scottish Fitba we are talking here. & Petrie & people like you make a huge, massive escapade out of talking about how hard it is for a team like Hibs, not run by mad vlad or every spiv that wants a piece of the ex-huns, to be at least challenging for the effing 6/6 split in the top division. We are not there just now.

Puting words in my mouth mate. My only point was that the McLeish team was one a club of our size can't afford. We were not alone though as many teams overspent at that time. The standard of player attracted to Scottish clubs at that time was way above the level now and won't change anytime soon. None of that means Hibs should be where we are now and of course a club of HIbs size should be competing in the top league, but a succession of bad managers and boardroom decisions have left us where we are now. I have no idea why you think I am happy with our current predicament but I also think that staying away is not the answer. Stubbs is showing signs that he could be our first decent manager in a while and he needs our support to help Hibs get back to where we belong.

Correct, Mcleish was a bit OTT & a let down at the end, but Petrie's mismanagement is off the scale. I am with you, got my mojo back, even at a couple of pre-seasons for the first time in a while, I like the potential with Stubbs as manager, I want to go see his teams play football, however as a Hibs fan of many years, I would feel more comfortable at ER if Petrie wasnt involved.

I make it around 15,500 tickets sold, excluding corporate hospitality and hangers-on.
