Official Site: ST JOHNSTONE TICKETS ON SALE FROM WEDNESDAY

[Hermit Crab]

Struggled a bit with the laptop and it kind of froze so went on my Samsung phone and did the business within a few minutes. Even the iPad is useless for eticketing as I can never get on the site when using it.


Got in at 10:12 and sorted my mate out. Hope I get the extra points.......:greengrin

[GreenCastle]

That's section N2 lower now on sale, I guess St J are not getting any more tickets then.

Seems the sponsors...suits..etc are getting sections P Q R S.

Online currently has N2 for sale which is just to the side of the dugout.

N1 and N3 (the extra 500) still aren't on sale to anyone.

I would expect if these remaining tickets for fast - Hibs will get N3 to avoid the extra hassle of segregation around the concourses etc.

I don't see why we should though since StJ were kind of promised them.

[GreenCastle]

Sorry didn't mean we should expect them - of course IF they were promised those extra 500 they should get them.

Really though a decision should have been made by now so Saints fans can make travel arrangements etc.

[PatHead]

So the Hibs site not telling the truth about the sold out sections?

Told you

[SlickShoes]

Eventually managed to get 3 after the website took a hairy turn for 45 minutes.

[Hermit Crab]

Had a look at Stj forum, some are considering using our general sale as a way to bag themselves a ticket...... Below are 3 separate quotes from StJ fans.

Ferg, HIbs tickets are on General Sale now. Available here. Get them bought http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/6099

ooft to hold off for our extra tickets or get purchasing?
might i suggest anyone going for this gets N2 lower which will be below saints fans (if we get the extra tickets in the main stand) and closest to the roseburn. the others on sale are at the opposite end of the main stand or the gorgie stand (behind the goals opposite roseburn)

I wouldn't hold off and as you say if you go for that section you'll be beside Saints fans.

[Hermit Crab]

T2 lower sold out now.

[Onion]

:agree: A system put in for a few, that hampers a lot. Its not needed, and we should just go back to how it used to be.

Answer is prob somewhere in between. Hibs will have learned a lot and should get better at this. Maybe something for the supporter directors to get their heads around, or just copy best practice from one of the English clubs who run similar system.

I love that quote, completely ignoring the fact that yes you'll be below your own fans but in amongst the oppositions fans so even if they scored, wouldn't be able to celebrate as they'd be thrown out for sitting in the wrong area of the stadium.

Madness, although I can see why they would be considering since they were shafted for the extra 500 tickets

[CallumLaidlaw]

I can't agree that it should've gone straight to general sale. Yes the loyalty points work most for games at Ibrox etc, but then if you bring it into play, then it needs to be used for all games. And can you imagine the uproar if the top bracket of loyalty points were given 2 tickets each. Maybe people are just looking for excuses for the fact that our support isn't really as big as some think it is. Maybe if us and St Johnstone were in opposite places in the league, it would be different as the part time fans tend to come out more often when they're confident of a win.

I agree absolutely no point to having a season ticket if there isnt some benefits.

[Since90+2]

Every season ticket holder would have got tickets absolutely no problem for this match if it was on general sale. They would also have got to sit beside friends , family and semi regulars attenders should they have wished.

Don't really agree with this bit, every semi final I've attended at Hampden the Hibs support has been made up of loads of regular season ticket holders plus their families, partners etc. There has always been loads of seats left and we've taken anything between about 15,000 to 20,000. Take away all the parteners etc that are sat with their party and you could take a third off that figure, you find your loyalty points level. It's the system that has caused a lower than normal turnout. I've no doubt it will sell out but we're hitting around the maximum for the club that this system gives us.

[SlickShoes]

I seem to have bought 6 tickets, two lots of 3.

The first time I tried to buy them it seemed to time out and I never got a confirmation, assumed it had failed. So I went back in later and tried again, now have a confirmation for that purchase.

Bank has been charged twice though, didnt get an e-mail for the first lot of tickets and only place i can see the transaction existing is my account history. Is there any way to cancel tickets? there doesnt seem to be any online help and the tickets number just rings out.

[JimBHibees]

It is easy to say that now but if it had been an open sale every chance some seasons would have missed out.

I made a point previously that even uber uber fans, if they want to attend as part of a group, can only get tickets according to the lowest number of points in the group. That could be turned on its head, and groups could be allocated according to the average or even the highest number of points held by a group membetr. Unless you are Billy Naemates or a member of an uber-fan group, the priority system doesn't really work as it could.

[Ringothedog]

I keep reading about this lower than average turnout, tickets being unsold, St Johnstone fans being shafted etc etc

1) we have sold 9500 tickets prior to General Sale
2) I would guess we will sell out our initial allocation by 5.00 pm tomorrow
3) We should get the extra 500 tickets(which are in our end of the ground!!) and sell them out over the course of the next week
4) St Johnstone were not given a guarantee of the tickets and lets be honest here it is a recipe for trouble if they do get them.

Lets fill that ****ty stadium and have it rocking to Hibernian songs

Absolute nonsense. No club would consider running a scheme like that. What's with all this about having to sit beside your mates at the football? Do you miss them if you don't see them for 45 minutes?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Very much this.

[iwasthere1972]

I said it previously. I'm still mystified why, with our allocation of 11,500 why we had these two separate waves of sales when they could have been done as one. The figure of 10,000 is cumulative. This may have enabled folk to sit together.

10am Wednesday 6th -12th January: 180 points (approx. 8000 supporters)

10am Wednesday 13th – 17th January: 90 points (approx 10000 supporters)

Still confident that we will sell out, perhaps towards the end of the week, when tickets are becoming limited and folk who maybe weren't going to go decide that they too want a piece of the action.

[Scottie]

Season ticket sale 1 week - General sale what's left there after

Isn't that the fairest way ?

[iwasthere1972]

Absolute nonsense. No club would consider running a scheme like that. What's with all this about having to sit beside your mates at the football? Do you miss them if you don't see them for 45 minutes?

Three of us are going. Two in the Wheatfield and one in the Gorgie Road end. We'll all be together for a pre match sesh, meet at half time in the concourse for a natter, a pee and a smoke then again after the game for more bevvy depending on the result. Maybe even plan our annual visit to Hampden.

Job done.

[iwasthere1972]

There's no way that Hibs could forecast that. Even before it went to General Sale there were 20,000 folk on 1 point or more so no guarantee that every season ticket holder would have got a ticket. Some may have missed out.

Unless you are Billy Naemates or a member of an uber-fan group, the priority system doesn't really work as it could.

Points don't just guarantee you tickets, also give you the pick of the best seats which at other events (concerts, rugger, tennis) would cost you £££ more. Hibs need to come up with a system that rewards folk by points, but also allows a group to sit together - not easy.

[SlickShoes]

Or sell them to a few St Johnstone fans :greengrin

haha, could have made a profit! Finally got through to the ticket office and they sorted it out pronto, great stuff!

[Real Emerald]

The problem is the mates, partners etc. will just not go and sit elsewhere, it's a lost sale. Maybe not so much for this game but if the same system was used at Hampden then it would be. However, that is hypothetical as we don't know how they would work that, I would hope it would be different.

I always go to semi finals in a group with my wife, son and his girlfried, pals with their's etc. Its the perk of having a season ticket to get two tickets to allow you to do this. If we get to the final and I only get one ticket I will have to wait until the public sale to do this as will many more season ticket holders. That then devalues my season ticket to what it was before. As I spend more on my ST than I would if I paid for walk up tickets (always miss a few games a season), I might just ditch the ST, patg and pick my seat when It takes my fancy in a half empty Easter Road each week.

The last thing the club needs is ST holders drifting off as it's THE most important thing to the club bar none. So ths scheme has the potential of losing more ST holders than it attracts if they're not careful.

[StevieC]

Hibs need to come up with a system that rewards folk by points, but also allows a group to sit together.

Impossible to do unfortunately. It's either one or the other.

I've mentioned before that for away games some teams work on groups, rather than seat allocation. You pick your stand, and as loyalty points drop the people in your "group" are added once their loyalty point level is reached. Once tickets are sold out the club then allocates the seats to ensure "groups" are seated together. Means that it is pot luck where you are sitting but I think most supporters prefer to share an away day with mates rather than where they are sitting in a stand.

[Golden Bear]

Help ma boab, things are getting complicated.! Bring back pay at the turnstyle then go and sit at your preferred location.

Dream on I suppose!

[Stuarty27]

Think we have shifted a fair few this morning, only two sections left in Gorgie road stand.

Think we will sell out very soon

[Ozyhibby]

We knew this would happen though because they same thing happened in 2006 in the semi final v Hearts. Club made it one ticket per season ticket holder which meant I couldn't take my Dad who normally makes it to big games. There would have been many like me. End result was we could not sell our tickets for a semi final against the yams.

Sounds great. What happens if there is a sell-out before the points have gone down to the lowest member of your group? Do you all phone up and say "We're not going to the Scottish Cup Final because my mate can't get a ticket."?

Aye, started by the usual trollers. Admins should be dealling with it.

[GreenCastle]

So how many tickets sold today?

Section P now on sale in Main Stand - originally we thought that was for the sponsors.

Only a few tickets left for behind the goals in section V.

I expect more to be sold tomorrow before the game :agree:

Me too. The system is simple. If you buy a season ticket you get points. If you buy a half season ticket you get points. If you go to home cup games you get points. If you go to away games you get points. Add them all up and hey presto job done. If you have enough to qualify for a ticket you can get one. If you're mate/girlfriend/boyfriend wants to sit with you and doesn't have the required points then they may have to wait until later on to get a seat but it might not be beside their friends etc. You can't play about with the system to suit everybody.

Simples.

[weecounty hibby]

I think the saints fans moaning should get a grip. They have received 3,500 ticket which is probably 1000 more than their average home support. Every club including ours takes more to bigger fixtures like semis and finals. BUT they don't deserve to get any more than they have. If it was at Hampden they would not have sold much more than 3500. They were giving 2 per ST and went straight to public sale to shift that number so sorry, suck it up and try getting along regularly and maybe Hampden will be considered next time you get to a semi. It was obvious from the start it would be played at PBS and also obvious that 3/4 of it would be given to Hibs. If they really are desperate for tickets I'm sure hospitality will be full of them

Agreed. **** them.

[DH1875]

Really not getting the whole mates argument. Just because your not sitting next to them at the match doesnt mean you still cant travel together or go for a beer before/after the game. Why should someone on 40,50,60 or even 10 points run the risk of missing out on a ticket because somebody with more points wants to take their pal? Your points are yours, not your pals or for that matter your mum, dad, brother, son or even your granny.

Totally disagree with this attitude.

Who gives a monkeys what their average home gate is? The bottom line is that supply is outstripping demand. It's the sort of reasoning the old firm use when they argue that they should get the majority of tickets for cup finals.

Their allocation was anything but obvious and it wasn't up until about an hour ago. That's the main point of contention.

It's that simple. Point make prizes, in this case tickets. Can't believe people are getting a hard time for going to games. Trollers should be dealt with as I've had digs aimed at me on more than one occasion....

Supply is only outstripping demand cos they fancy their chances. If it had been Celtic at Hampden then 3500 would have been plenty. I also get it about the OF but they do get the vast majority of tickets against every club bar Hibs, Dons, each other or them across the road

Should I just sit back and take it? Admins didn't do anything about any posts or trolling so it's fair game until it's dealt with imo.

Have you reported any posts you feel have crossed the line? As far as I can see you reported 1 post on January 14th that was in fairness a daft comment but contained absolutely zero in the way of abuse.

I've tended to avoid the loyalty threads over the last few days as another minute on them would have driven me to insanity but from what I have read you have given as good as you have got and then some.

Of course we could always deal with all the 'abuse' and 'trolling' that has taken place due to the subject in question.

[iwasthere1972]

We've got 13,100 supporters who have 20 points and above. With an initial allocation of 11,500 (Looks like we had the other 500 that The Saintees thought they were getting) I would have thought it was more logical and sensible to do the first wave of ticket sales at 50 points and above, if that's about 11,500, and then 1 to 49 points in the second wave. It would have perhaps enabled most fans to sit with their friends and families and avoided the arguments that are now popping up on various threads. By the way I got three tickets and one person is in another stand but that doesn't bother us. The main thing is we'll be there.

Too many waves.

Just because you don't know who's writing the posts doesn't make it acceptable. Harassment or bullying is just the same online just as it is in the workplace or in the pub or such like.

I think this is the crux of the matter :greengrin

Just because you don't know who's writing the posts doesn't make it acceptable. Harassment or bullying is just the same online just as it is in the workplace or in the pub or such like.

Come on, your not sensitive. You've defended your position robustly. I've not see one post on either side of the loyalty points that's been trolling or close to abuse. You've been vociferous in your comments on HSL donators getting points. You did start a rumour about these points being added early to enable HSL members to get tickets for the Hearts game. Were you trolling? Or just posting a rumour on a fans board? FFS it's a football message board

Must admit that I haven't read anything offensive or abusive. Just people stating their opinion. Nothing else.

Agree that we should drop the loyalty points posts and just look forward to tomorrow and next Saturday.

That's me done.

Aye, started by the usual trollers. Admins should be dealling with it.

Didn't you kick it all off again by accusing the HSL board of being corrupt? Things were ticking along quite nicely until you started telling tall tales.

[Hermit Crab]

You mean stuff like calling the HSL board corrupt?


If the points to be added were brought forward before the Hearts tickets went on sale then that, imo would have been corruption yes. However it appears that this will not be case so I withdraw that statement. I also refer to blatant trolling from other posters. I find it unlikely that this has gone unnoticed.

Not sure if the subject of loyalty points has been brought up anywhere... But I would say that perhaps we could look at how many points to qualify for each wave, or how long before a general sale, or how many tickets per client ref no - but I would definitely be against going straight to a general sale for big matches. Anyway, I've had my tuppence worth, so you can all go back to talking about whatever you were talking about. Apparently I need to make tea.

There were arguments going about the points long before I mentioned that. Anyway you then called me or us idiots or stupid or something along those lines.

Almost an apology, I suppose.

I think this is the crux of the matter :greengrin

The point is that we would be absolutely livid if the shoe was on the other foot. The leadership of the SPFL has once again been totally ineffective and incompetent.

I can just hear you over all the fighting and moaning about points.
Oh no!! I am keeping well out of that one!! No winners in that argument and one that would be best ended. GGTTH.

We've got 13,100 supporters who have 20 points and above. With an initial allocation of 11,500 (Looks like we had the other 500 that The Saintees thought they were getting) I would have thought it was more logical and sensible to do the first wave of ticket sales at 50 points and above, if that's about 11,500, and then 1 to 49 points in the second wave. It would have perhaps enabled most fans to sit with their friends and families and avoided the arguments that are now popping up on various threads. By the way I got three tickets and one person is in another stand but that doesn't bother us. The main thing is we'll be there.

Too many waves.

Is the game sold out yet?

Loyalty points mega thread. :agree:

You have the power man.

[Pretty Boy]

I think it's safe to this has gone way off topic.

There's a thread about St Johnstone tickets and numerous about loyalty points on the go.

I'll have a look at tidying this up over the course of the evening and it may reopen then but for now it's thread closed.
