Seems fair enough just surprised they're not giving supporters with more loyalty points a head start on 1 point+. I guess it's to ensure people are sitting next to friends and family right enough and to encourage more ST sales.

Can't wait for the game :flag:

Fair enough but I would have set the bar a bit higher for the second wave.

This could be the biggest hint yet that the loyalty point system isn't going to be used next season.

I don't think so. Use it where necessary, when we have a limited allocation.

Loyalty system isn't really required for this, come to think of it. But it can still be used for games such as Tynie/Ibrox with limited allocation.

Hibs have done the right thing here though, well done:aok::aok:

Seems pretty much what it was intended for if you ask me. If you have some attendance to show you get a head start between season tickets and general sale. Might have been staggered a bit but there's lots of tickets.

Essentially there's absolutely no point in having a loyalty points system if there isn't going to be any sort of differentiation between a non-ST holder with 50-200 points and a non-ST holder who has been to one game in two years. Yes we jump ahead of 'wave 3' but anyone on the database without any loyalty points is effectively someone who has merely registered online and never even attended just one game.

Bring back the membership scheme!

What was the pots of loyalty numbers announced before the League cup semi final, this might allay some fears.

We are looking at say 12k max going out to season ticket holders for this and next season?

That went to general sale. The club will know just how many people have the various level of points so setting wave 2 at just 1 suggests we have enough tickets for those who qualify.

Im goin one of the ones having a moan this around. Collected 235 points and im lumped in to try and get tickets with people who've been once in two seasons. If there hadnt been many occasions when ive paid at the pods wouldve had far more as well, not that it matters in the end anyway. Dragged myself to many midweek games on my tod when no ones been up for it, thinking the system would make sure i was looked after when it game to these games. Seems having a hibs tv subscription is valued nore than attendance.

I agree with this, having been to many games home and away this season, and while granted I have a season ticket I feel for people who have made an effort to attend this season and will have as much of a chance of a decent seat as those who have hardy showed up.

I think the argument is not that those with 200 points won't get a ticket, but that they won't get the chance to choose their seats before the 1 pointers do.

We should all get seats somewhere in the ground but IMO semi regular attenders should have got to pick their seats before it opened to those that have never attended IMO. Especially at a stadium like Hampden where there are parts of the East where you are miles away from the pitch.

I've got 415 points, been spending £22 for all these low-attendance games, countless games this season and every other, home and away, and now because no ST I'm lumped in with folk who have been to one game. I'll get a ticket and the points will likely come into play for the playoffs but it's still not right. Not when it was explicitly stated in writing that points would be used for high demand games.

http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/pages/loyaltypoints ——— "How will tickets be distributed? From the 2015/16 season ticket sales will be done in point bands. This will mean that the sale of tickets will be staggered for the matches where there is a high demand for tickets, where those who have accumulated the most points by pre-purchasing tickets for both home and away matches will get the opportunity to purchase their tickets first."

No one is asking for ten staggered sales bands, but nothing between 1 point and several hundred?

The loyalty scheme was working just fine before the HSL points award debacle and subsequent rows about how else to award points without attending games. The scheme in it's original form would easily have allowed those who have supported the club most throughout the campaign , both ST holder and walk - up, to be given priority. To go from ST's to 1 point or more is pretty unfair.
Sadly, like many initiatives that work fine, some people can't help but mess about with them and end up rendering them redundant.

Why should they have been? If you've got points and you want a ticket, buy one in the first day or so of that wave. Don't see why you'd want others excluded at this stage other than to massage your ego.

Different this time around with the additional ticket for renewers, which I agree they deserve btw. A number of these tickets may go to people with 0 points, or they may go to people who qualify to buy in wave 2, who in turn use there reference to buy for others. It opens sales up to more than the 20k you mention so theres no gurantees.

Having a 90+ point wave would have been fairer (I have less than that btw so not being biased).

However, I won't argue too much because I suspect the decision is a combination of a) trying to promote season ticket sales and b) knowing that everyone with 1+ point will get a ticket if they want one.

It doesn't take much explaining mate. Hibs message is clear, if you want to guarantee a ticket buy a season ticket. I agree its unfair on walk ups with 90 points or more ...... but I doubt that was the first thing on the boards mind as they surveyed the swathes of empty seats at the Falkirk game, the Sevco game or last night, which were all vital in the context of our season, but even then all but ignored by everybody but the die hards.

No wonder they are doing what they can to avoid every crowd being sub 7,000 next season if we don't go up.

I never had an issue getting a final ticket, even when I was an occasional walk up.
So people should just make alternative arrangements to get a ticket rather than expect the loyalty points system to work as advertised.

Well, good luck to them.

Once Sevco fans get wind of this they will register and there will be hundreds of them in our end. Guaranteed.

I think we are underestimating the size of the active Rangers support, the could probably sell about 70,000 for this game. They are only officially being allocated 21,500 tickets so yes a good amount will buy a ticket for Sunday and try their luck online for a final ticket.

And there is also nothing to stop them potentially buying in groups.

Putting the wave at 11 points even would have taken away any risk of this. I would bet Hibs never even gave it a thought.

Having thought about what he's said, I think he's right. All they need to do is register, buy a ticket for the queen of the south game and they can then purchase a ticket in the hibs end in the second wave.

Don't think many will but it's still quite a poor way to work it

It doesn't take much explaining mate. Hibs message is clear, if you want to guarantee a ticket buy a season ticket. I agree its unfair on walk ups with 90 points or more ...... but I doubt that was the first thing on the boards mind as they surveyed the swathes of empty seats at the Falkirk game, the Sevco game or last night, which were all vital in the context of our season, but even then all but ignored by everybody but the die hards.

No wonder they are doing what they can to avoid every crowd being sub 7,000 next season if we don't go up.

100% this. We need all the fans we can get EVERY game. You'd think with some of the moaning going on about folk missing out on getting a ticket that we had an average home crowd of 60,000 FFS.

Hibs have to at least amend 2nd wave to 1 point gained as of now. That will resolve potential Rangers fans issue. Why on earth they didn't follow the league cup final segments is beyond me (albeit replace 1st wave with the current one).

Most won't miss out, but some will and those some shouldn't be people who attend regularly.

There will be a few who miss but it's costly and against the Huns. Hardly the family final.

One notable difference this time round is that they have not made any distinction between UK and overseas Hibs TV subscribers and don't seem to be offering International Hibs TV subscribers travelling back from overseas a ticket, as they have always done in previous years.

When wave 2 starts, for example, a Hibs TV subscriber in Leith and a Hibs TV subscriber in Australia thinking of coming over, and a fan who registers now, as loads of folk will probably do (including The Rangers fans who go to the QotS game?!) will have the same chance of getting a ticket. That chance will come on May 12th, just 9 days before the game. The overseas Hibs TV subscriber contingent is very, very small (maybe 30-40 people at the very most? Possibly even less?) and, IMHO, :greengrin, I always thought it was a decent gesture to offer a single ticket to Hibs TV subscribers coming from the other side of the world (especially as that included me!) given the distance and expense involved. I think this will give a few folk a problem with deciding whether or not to get flights etc. As I said, I'm not arguing those fans like myself are any more deserving, and I was careful with my words earlier: it was a "decent gesture", not an expectation, but we buy a digital ST and watch all the games too. I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed they haven't taken it into account this time too. I was in Brazil until last year and a flight back from Lisbon won't be the end of the world if I can't get a ticket in the end. However, if I was one of those lads in the States, or Australia, wondering about buying a flight without knowing for sure...? Hmmm. Just my thoughts on it. Not everyone will be happy, but I do hope that everyone who wants a ticket gets one.

Not many. Yet. You're playing kiddy on if you don't think a good few of the more computer literate amongst them don't do so for the QoS game.

I'm a big fan of the loyalty scheme and what it sets out to - in theory - achieve but for me it's not just a numbers game of Hibs calculating how many folk qualify under criteria X or Y. There should have been slightly more refinement in the swing of the waves so that folk who've been regular attendees got a shot at better tickets, given the variable quality of seats at Hamdump, than someone who've been once in the last 2 years.

End of the day a crowd of 6,500 hibs fans turned up yesterday assuming 90% of those were season tickets, they are all looked after and that's the main thing. I also hope it convinces many to buy a season ticket to guarantee a seat. Sure this happened for the hearts game!

I'm very disappointed that with 140 points I've got as good a chance of a ticket as someone with one point. The club have marketed loyalty points on false pretences.

From the launch "the Club wants to be able to put into place a mechanism which tracks and prioritises not just season ticket holders when it comes to the must have ticket games but instead opens up priority ticketing to all supporters."

The statement goes on to say:

How will this benefit supporters?

When tickets go on sale for hugely popular games where demand is likely to exceed the allocation, supporters with the most loyalty points will be able to purchase tickets first. Therefore attending more matches, home and away, will mean that you will have a greater chance of being able to attend the games where there is limited allocation.

How will tickets be distributed?

In future, ticket sales will be done in point bands. This will mean that the sale of tickets will be staggered for the matches where there is a high demand for tickets, where those who have accumulated the most points by pre-purchasing tickets for both home and away matches will get the opportunity to purchase their tickets first. This will help stagger any queues at the Ticket Office and limit the numbers buying online at any one time.

Hibs have been to enough matches at Hampden in recent years and the only one I can recall when Hibs were not in the East were the two finals against Celtic. The finals against Livvy and Killie were in the East along with two semifinals against Dunfermline, the semi against the Yams, the semi against Aberdeen, the final against the Yams, the semis against Falkirk, the final against Ross County and the semi against Dundee United.

The Loyalty Points at stem is not of much use where the allocation of seats is two and a half times the average attendance. The finals come at or around season ticket renewal time. Hence it is in Hibs interest to promote season ticket renewals rather than reward people for attending away matches.

It might have some purpose in allocating tickets for away grounds with tiny visitors allocations. That would apply with some Championship teams such Alloa and Dumbarton etc but will not be an issue for Premiership teams.

My loyalty points are way down on what it should be because I often buy home cup and away league matches from the pods at the grounds rather than through the box office.

I take three kids to the game and we all have renewed. We are all or around 400 loyalty points. I will gladly take the extra tickets and in my case they will go to another family who regularly attend but don't have season tickets. Good for them but I don't think it is a fair way of doing things. Watch how many £25 quid tickets are sold in the FF lower and then adult tickets bought for the final. Yes Hibs may get a few hundred extra season tickets bought but how many supporters who have went to a good number of games this season might they lose next year.

I will benefit but I would have been just as happy to have got 4 tickets. The problem with The Rangers fans potentially buying a ticket for Sunday or a Hibs TV subscription(i have one of those too) is not imagined and at the very least the club should make it one point gained at the point of the announcement.

It screams of money grabbing to me. The cup final is this season and attendance at games this year is what should earn you the right to an early chance of a ticket. If you want to include those buying a ST for next year who don't have one this year I could live with that too.

You have to laugh at times though, we couldn't even reach 7000 last night now all of a sudden 21000 is no enough. The board have done the right thing here by ensuring maximum possible income for the club.


That isn't what people are moaning at, it's going from ST holders and new ST straight onto a 2nd wave with just 1 point needed, so what is the point of collecting all the points to be told anyone who's been to one game is the same as someone who's been to say 12 games. The club has made a mistake by not making the 2nd wave say anyone over 100+ points, then onto a general sale for the rest, how the hell can anyone only have 1 point when it's 5 pts for away games and 10 for home ones?

Spot on mate. I don't have a season ticket, but have 148 loyalty points. So I have been to a lot of games this season.

I now find that I am in the same wave as someone who has been to just ONE game !

No "rage" from me...........just disappointment and bewilderment at the decision.

The loyalty scheme is great...........if it is used to reward loyalty!!!!!

But there is no point in introducing extra waves just for the sake of it. With so many tickets it's simply not needed. if there had only been 10000 tickets then extra waves would have been intorduced but in this case there really is no need. The club have a lot of tickets to sell for this final and the playoffs over the next few weeks, the system really does have to be as simple as possible.

The club is 100% correct in rewarding S/T holders. I'm not seeing any disagreement on that.

When it comes to wave 2 though, the club have failed to distinguish between regular walk-ups and our 'cup-final' support of day-trippers. And despite what some are saying, not everyone that wants a ticket will not get one - especially once the Huns get wind of the loophole we've created.

Regular walk-ups often have good reasons for not buying S/Ts: finances, shift work, living far from Edinburgh, illness/ caring for relatives. There could be any number of reasons - it doesn't always imply a lack of support or commitment. We could do without the disparaging comments about fellow Hibees.

The second wave isn't too low. Everyone on the database will get a ticket.

Where would you set the cut off point at?

It allows many people to sit with friends etc. too many levels would prevent this.

Basically if you have actively supported Hibs this season you will get a ticket. What can be fairer than that?

21,000 tickets for Hibs supporters at the cup final when only 6,000 could bother to turn up last night?

They are the ones who should get the best seats to watch their team in a BIG game. They came out in the cold miserable weather to watch an important match in our teams struggle to get back to the premier league where they belong.

The club has to look after its season ticket holders and not get carried away with loyalty points etc. If you go to the games, you get points, if you dont go, then you dont!

simple as that!

Hibs have a good chance to win this cup final as the odds are stacked against them being winners. Dont get carried away with Rangers dropping points over the last week. that means nothing in a one off game!

There are more than enough tickets to go around so get out and get one next week instead of mouthing off let your feet do the talking and get along and support your team!

If you have a season ticket then you are rightly first in the queue. After this, loyalty points mean nothing, which begs the question, why bother with them at all? I was under the impression my loyalty in turning up to most home games and many away games was that I would be ahead of the day trippers etc, but no. The club thinks no more of me than anyone who has attended just one game which is a bit of a kick in the stones. What is hard to understand about that?

I was one of those that attended last night (made a 100 mile round trip to get there), making me one of the ones you say deserves to get the best seats.
And yet because I am not a season ticket holder (despite amassing a reasonable amount of loyalty points) I will miss out on the best seats as I battle it out with every man and his dog for the remaining 6,000 or so tickets.

Loyalty points were designed, and it was stated as such at the outset, to reward the walk-up supporters when it came to games such as this.

Have you ever sat at the back of the East Stand at Hampden?

If it doesn't matter then why have any waves at all?

The reason season ticket holders will want in the first wave is to get first dibs on the decent seats in the North and South stands (quite rightly). The reason the walk-ups are annoyed about getting ignored is that they will be battling it out with the day-trippers for the shan seats.

All that was needed was an additional wave that recognised those that have backed the team during their time in the championship.

I'm in the same group of regular walk-ups (including being at ER on Tuesday evening). I don't have a season ticket because other commitments mean that it would be a bad deal. I think the club should have set the second wave points qualification at a level which would have guaranteed everyone with those points a ticket if all season ticket holders had taken their full allocation.

Anything remaining could then have been put on open sale.

That's exactly correct. There is only a staff of about 8 people in the club admin dept who deal with everything from tickets, sponsorship and everything else in between. The loyalty points scheme is a drain on the club's very limited resources.

One notable difference this time round is that they have not made any distinction between UK and overseas Hibs TV subscribers and don't seem to be offering International Hibs TV subscribers travelling back from overseas a ticket, as they have always done in previous years.

When wave 2 starts, for example, a Hibs TV subscriber in Leith and a Hibs TV subscriber in Australia thinking of coming over, and a fan who registers now, as loads of folk will probably do (including The Rangers fans who go to the QotS game?!) will have the same chance of getting a ticket. That chance will come on May 12th, just 9 days before the game. The overseas Hibs TV subscriber contingent is very, very small (maybe 30-40 people at the very most? Possibly even less?) and, IMHO, :greengrin, I always thought it was a decent gesture to offer a single ticket to Hibs TV subscribers coming from the other side of the world (especially as that included me!) given the distance and expense involved. I think this will give a few folk a problem with deciding whether or not to get flights etc. As I said, I'm not arguing those fans like myself are any more deserving, and I was careful with my words earlier: it was a "decent gesture", not an expectation, but we buy a digital ST and watch all the games too. I'll be honest, I'm a bit disappointed they haven't taken it into account this time too. I was in Brazil until last year and a flight back from Lisbon won't be the end of the world if I can't get a ticket in the end. However, if I was one of those lads in the States, or Australia, wondering about buying a flight without knowing for sure...? Hmmm. Just my thoughts on it. Not everyone will be happy, but I do hope that everyone who wants a ticket gets one.

I'm with you on this, as it would suit me too :greengrin. I have no idea how many of us watch HibsTV from far and wide but it wont be far off your guesstimate, there were some polls taken 3 years ago while trying to get HibsTV live streaming back up and running, the numbers were about that. Being a International HibsTV season ticket member since the day I left Edinburgh (at one point that was 2 different memberships in one season) is the closest thing i can do to continue the season ticket i had for years and I buy match tickets whenever we're home for holidays. I would hope Hibs have done the calculations and know that everyone in wave 2 will get a ticket, is that wishful thinking?? If that is the case they should announce it, remove all frustrations people have. 1 point does seem a low number, from 7k miles away i've managed to get 30 points over the last 2 seasons! Anyway, my flights are booked, I'm coming, everything crossed on the ticket front. Good luck all, GGTTH :flag::flag::flag:

Have you ever sat among opposition fans at a cup final? Can't be much fun.

And remember, if he does get ahead of all the hibs fans buying in that wave, its a wave 2 ticket so chances are he will be in the East - where, frankly I don't want to be at the final and if he is outed he will be in bother.

Re: your point, I always got the impression that Hibs (or the SFA, whoever decides these things) way of releasing the tickets for sale at Hampden was firmly of the "couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery" variety, with things being released in blocks and then sold from the front towards the back (I may well be talking cobblers here) meaning that there's - almost, if you've got the minerals - a perverse incentive to hold off buying tickets for a little bit.

It has clearly been done to maximize income but, the club have already collected considerable revenue from supporters, telling them in return for your support you'll receive loyalty points which will be used for games like this. That support and income stream has been completely disregarded and the rule book tore up to chase new revenue. Bit of a dirty move that is shafting a number of people.

I've bought tickets for games I couldn't go to just so that I could get the loyalty points. Needn't have bothered and wasted a load of money. Well and truly shafted.

I take three kids to the game and we all have renewed. We are all or around 400 loyalty points. I will gladly take the extra tickets and in my case they will go to another family who regularly attend but don't have season tickets. Good for them but I don't think it is a fair way of doing things. Watch how many £25 quid tickets are sold in the FF lower and then adult tickets bought for the final. Yes Hibs may get a few hundred extra season tickets bought but how many supporters who have went to a good number of games this season might they lose next year.
.

I could be wrong but I think you can't just buy the kids £25 season ticket. Pretty sure you need to buy an adults season ticket for the FF to go with it. Like I said, could be wrong though.

It doesn't reward the loyalty of regular attenders at all. The club are at risk of ruining a lot of the good work that has been done since Dempster came in.

The fact the club have made it very easy for the rangers fans to buy our tickets has been conveniently ignored by a lot of ST holders on here. If there is trouble in our end caused by rangers fans and people are hurt that will be on our club.

I think people are frustrated with the fact that they're attending games regularly/semi-regularly or even buying tickets for games that they couldn't attend (giving the club much needed income too) are now lumped in at the same time as someone who has bought a ticket for one game. That could be a day tripper who fancies their chances or possibly a hun buying one for Sunday.

Chances are very slim that they won't get a ticket but the chance is there.

As it turns out I'd have been just as well buying tickets at the pods this season and not bothering with trying to gain any points as it wasn't real worth the hassle of doing that.

I wouldn't have a clue how many loyalty points I have as I am a st holder... Do you get loyalty points if you are a st holder? I have always just gave my details and purchased a ticket for an away day without inquiring about loyalty points Do people actually actually buy tickets to receive loyalty points? surely not? if that was the case we would fill every away stand in Scotland.

Edit - I meant as in do you receive loyalty points for having a season ticket.

We have a hard core 7-8K ST holders but it depends if they are all renewing right now, some may not renew till after the summer holidays but the majority will take up the early bird option to spread the costs.

My biggest disappointment is the 2nd wave points, Hibs should've made it a minimum of at least 90+ points before going on general sale, it seems people who don't have a ST but are regular attendees are being discriminated against.

No i honestly don't have a clue with regards to loyalty points I have always just purchased away tickets knowing i would get them based on me being a ST Holder. I am the first to admit I am quite ignorant when it comes to Hibs pr. I dont delve in to information with regards to loyalty points or non match day events as I am not particularly interested, I am only interested in match day home or way and have never had problems purchasing tickets.

People complaining about missing out on best seats/getting shan seats should realise there are no bad seats at a cup final if you win the cup.

50% of Hampden has shan seats! It's a national disgrace.

I don't mind sitting in the outer blocks of the North Stand because season ticket holders have the other seats, they deserve them. I do mind that I'm stuck up the back of the East Stand because a supporter, with no intention of going next season, buys a ticket for the QotS game.

As good as the atmosphere might be, especially if we win, I actually like to watch a game of football.

Then there would have been an argument about the 100 points allocated for HSL v points for attending games v hibs tv etc etc

They are on a hiding to nothing whatever they do.

The club not rewarding fans with loyalty points with some level of priority for tickets is no less scandalous than if they'd done the same thing to season ticket holders. The exact same principle applies. The club made a promise to the supporters to incentivise buying tickets that they've not kept. http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/5241

why would it be a wind up? do you ask how many loyalty points you have when you purchase away tickets? giving I have been to all away games this season bar two and not once have we filled our allocation except from tynie i'm guessing loyalty points doesnt come into pay?

I only used 90+ points as that is what they did for the League cup final, my point still stands that punters earning good loyalty points are getting shafted, they should be looked after in the 2nd wave.

It's 5, almost every knows that and 10 for a home game but seeing you're a ST holder the home points mean nothing to you.

Have we not sold out at Ibrox twice?

So am I to understand that you bought all these tickets, including - presumably cup games - by not using the e-ticketing facility which would show you how many points you had?

How did you manage that????

Something not right.

I was way at the back of the east in 2007 with my daughter, players on the pitch looked like subbuteo players they were that far away.

* i meant as in do you get loyalty points for just being a season ticket holder? Not do i receive them for buying tickets.

* so you dont get 10 loyalty points each time you attend home game with S ticket?

Only accumulated 25 loyalty points, as I've been a walk up all season rather than booking online. First year I've been able to attend regularly since entering full time employment thanks to my shift pattern changing.

No complaints from me, think the club have tried to go about this in the fairest way possible.

Log in to the eticketing, at the top it will have your name and client number, click on that and it will give you your account history. I have a total of 20 points because I bought a ticket through the system for the Alloa game (3-0) and the Falkirk semi final last season.

If your client number was used to purchase your ST then you will have the maximum of 180 points.

And my point is if you were a season ticket holder, you'd know how many loyalty points you get.

Thanks, that is the basis of my question answered, I receive a maximum of 180 points for purchasing my season ticket.

I never knew i could activate my eticketing account.. people are saying they only have 20-30 .. 428 seems a lot?

Hello Darren

428 Loyalty points

Because the vast majority of Hibs supporters know about the loyalty scheme and what it entails, points etc, you are harping on about being a ST holders and going to nearly all away games but haven't got a clue how many loyalty points you have or even how many points you got for being a ST holder.

TBF you could ask my mum and dad about their loyalty points and they wouldn't have a clue. Both season ticket holders, both travel to away games. I usually arrange the tickets so they rarely have a need to go on to eticketing.

It's not beyond reality that other folk might not know what points they have

Are they regular away supporters too?

You really think he will spend on a hibs ticket and go on the database "just in case"?!

The old Rangers did it previously for the match at Easter Road where they won the league, so there is every chance that new Rangers will do it for a cup final.

60% chance of a ticket in Rangers end or 100% chance of ticket in Hibs end .. that's very tempting odds for a zombie

Surely it should be people who were on the database on a certain date. Anyone who gets on it now shouldn't be eligible.
