Official Site: LEEANN TARGETS 10K SEASON TICKET HOLDERS

[Brooster]

And yet again we get on to talking about them. Lets focus on Hibs....I dont give a flying about them.

[BroxburnHibee]

I honestly think even if we have a big crowd at the home Europa tie, a good performance and a couple intriguing signings we'll hit 12000 by middle of August.

No excuses anymore for certain supporters.

Agreed.

My reasons were purely financial but myself and 4 mates have decided to do our bit and return to the fold.

We'll smash 10k soon. Target should now be 11k.

I would wait until we have broken the 10k barrier before setting any further targets.

[Hibby70]

I wonder how many still to renew?

[21.05.2016]

Couldn't give a **** about the yams and their pathetic "we're bigger than you" obsession.

[TrinityHibs]

We have 9157 ST's and a wee space for the SCOTTISH CUP. That is worth way more than 14K ST's

[Enough said]

As said, let's hit 10k first before setting other targets. If we keep raising the bar we'll eventually fail.

Hit the 10k and have some sort of David Gray celebrator gif :thumbsup:

[TheGreenMan]

Two things that'd help us shift more are opening Adult/Child deals to the whole stadium not just FF lower (as I think it is now).

And converting ff lower to safe standing as celtic are doing with part of their stadium.

Bit sick of reading about them on here, TBH.

Let's just concentrate on Hibs.

Agree. It's a pity the cheaper kids tickets can't be bought for another part of the ground!

[KWJ]

Agree. It's a pity the cheaper kids tickets can't be bought for another part of the ground!

Kinda makes sense though to have a family area. But I do agree that the FF Lower would probably be the best place for a safe standing area. Maybe for the season after should Celtic's be a success, and I don't see why it wouldn't be.

[BSEJVT]

Agree. It's a pity the cheaper kids tickets can't be bought for another part of the ground!

I doubt it will ever happen

Whilst we would get more bums on seats overall, revenue would fall as other seats would be sold at cheaper than they are now

Only way I could see it working would be something Like Category B tickets for South Upper, thereby using seats and an area of the ground normally unused.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Still another 2 to add to that number:aok:

[Finn2015]

9157 so far is great for a 2nd tier club. People are right, we shouldn't get caught up with what the yams are doing and it's about us continuing to build

[Waxy]

Couldnt we make the lower main stand north the family section and convert the ff lower to safe standing? It's the future.

I can't see why we can't then balance the cost depending on stand/view. Make Adult + Child in centre of East or west cost a bit more than in FF

[BSEJVT]

There's more to it than that unfortunately

Doing that would cause ructions with some paying more for the same stand than others if adult tickets weren't set at same price, regardless if accompanied by an child or not.

Theres also the fact that many people sit where they do to sit with the ridges or to avoid being surrounded by kids

[TheGreenMan]

I think now is the time to be doing these things. Need to make hay whilst the sun shines (on leith). The safe standing is a new gimmick to a lot of people and it'd encourage some people to go just because it's a bit different experience and new. And opening up whole stadium to Adult child deals would encourage more to take them up that don't want to sit behind the goals.

We've seriously under performed on the pitch over the past 5-6 years (league) as well as off the pitch. All things seem to be getting better off the pitch but I still think of we were to do those two things it'd be something else that shows us making a huge effort to give the fans what they want and make it as appealing as possible to come to easter road.

I don't want to be in the standing bit but there are plenty that would and as with all the good foreign teams who have their ultras behind the goals it's easier to arrange displays and all the rest that I really think could kick off on the back of.our cup win and a league win this season.

There are a lot of folk coming back because we won the cup, more will come back when we win the league. It's not rocket science winning makes fans come and if we were to do anything else to encourage more then we would maybe actually get a crowd that our fan Base has shown is there

All our money should be spent on getting promoted. Not a safe standing area

I know. It can't be implemented for this season obviously so on the back of a promotion if we were to announce this for start of next season it'd give another bit of excitement for some.

I am very happy with my seat in the FF lower so hands off please

I wouldn't want to stand there but a lot of people would.

How would you feel if you had to relocate but it was adding another 1k season tickets to the gate (number out the sky) and it meant Hibs were better off?

[Albanian Hibs]

Going to buy my sister her first season ticket for about 20 years!

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Without bringing the conversation back to our neighbors (but here I go anyway)

How much (apart from too much) is a season ticket at the PBS?

I seem to vagly remember last year they were selling adult season tickets much cheaper than us!

So 10k full price (give or take kids, students and oaps) is potentially worth more than 14k season tickets

Ignoring the club shop sales, pies, pizzas and bovril at half time which will play its part based on number in attendance

Don't know where you get 1k from? The only thing that will add 1k to the gate will be a winning team. Last season, the massed ranks of Section 43 was a bit light some games. For some games, from my vantage point in the FFL, it looked pretty quiet. They all stand at the moment so why would we suddenly increase the gate by 1k just because we have standing in the FFL?

If the team was losing I would think it's more likely that we would lose fans instead.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

9157 so far is great for a 2nd tier club. People are right, we shouldn't get caught up with what the yams are doing and it's about us continuing to build

9157 is great for an SPL side. For a second tier side it is fantastic.

[Ozyhibby]

I pay £135 for my sons season ticket in the East. I'm happy to pay that because it's where I want to sit and it has a better view of the game IMO.
If the club start to sell kids tickets in the east for £25 then they will lose out on the extra £110 I give them.
Tickets in that part of the east are already in short supply so the club would be mad to cut the cost.
The FF is less popular so that's where the cheaper tickets can be found. I don't know why it's such an issue?

Oh yeah don't get me wrong it's fantastic and through all my dealings with ticketing, I can't fault the ticket office who have been helpful and brilliant. I just meant it seems strange there is such a discrepancy between this and getting children season tickets in other areas but like you say, there must be a reason for it.

Definitely though, I sure as hell ain't moaning and am cock a hoop I could get a ST for my boy that cheaply. No moaning from me at all.

I was in the ff lower last year and only because my mate bought 2 for his grandkids. I moved because I hated the seats, and opted for the East this year. I am considering getting one for my wee grandchild, but she's not been to a game yet. I am prepared to get one, firstly for her but also to help my club but with the previous post I was scared off with £135 as she wont be at most games. she is only 5, so can I get her one for £85? still a fair bit, but what the hell, it's helping the club and saves me grief trying to get a matchday ticket if she's gaun with me.

I think it's a terrific effort this far Ronnie - we've not even signed anyone and there's the Euro draw to come. I think that might also trigger those swithering to commit to the season. If we get 10/11K season ticket holders it'll be superb. I'm intrigued to see who NL's first couple of signings are because this could set a marker too.

We should campaign for all clubs to give both figures - actual attendance and gate receipts (which will include tickets purchased where the holder didn't turn up).

That way there will be no ambiguity - transparency is everything.

Their record signing is £300,000.......

they're going to need another zero if they have any plans to sign McGinn

[jgl07]

Every club in Scotland does it apart from Aberdeen and Hibs

Every club in England do it, it's all about perception
I certainly know that Manchester City always quote the 'tickets sold' figure.

Manchester United do the same. All Manchester United season ticket holders appear to be obliged to purchase a ticket for all FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League matches. Hence it is not unknown to have 5,000 to 10,000 or more empty seats when a 75,000 plus crowd was announced.

Hibs have had two sell out matches for a stadium with around 20,500 seats and the official attendance given was 19,000 or so. Neither had any segregation issues.

I'd rather us be honest and just give the actual figure of who turned up tbh

First post 😵

Just bought two season tickets. I work shifts, so I'd normally just pay at the gate. I'm not going to lie though, I'm totally caught up in the hysteria surrounding the club at the moment and I just wanted to do my wee bit to help the club get back up to the Premiership were we belong!

Here's to a great season guys! 💚 GGTTH💚

[Capt Mainwaring]

Two season tickets renewed again in April but bought another for my youngest daughter on Friday to sit in west stand lower with us. Block 7 sold out apart from about half a dozen single seats so looking well on way to 10k

Let's keep the momentum going guys and girls! 😀🇳🇬👍

[Finn2015]

Must be closing on 10k hopefully another update soon

Welcome and well done :aok:

[dizzy hibee]

That's 2 bought just now for myself and my son. We were season ticket holders until 2 years ago, didn't renew for several reasons, but the feel good factor just now is too good to resist! I'm very happy with the appointment of Lennon, shows real intent by the club, that's probably the main reason for renewing. Also, I can only imagine that the board will back Lennon at least as well as they backed Stubbs, let's get the final 3 or 4 pieces of the jigsaw puzzle in place, bring on the new season!

[MB62]

We bought two yesterday also for WSNU. Along with my mate, that's three new S.T. holders for this season. We didn't miss many games last season (or any other season) but the fact all the games are currently scheduled for a Saturday at 3.00pm, along with the Mass Hibsteria at the moment, that persuaded us to just buy S.T,s.
We were there just before 11.00am. after getting the photo taken with the SCOTTISH CUP :thumbsup: and there was a steady we queue at the ticket office.
Reckon the 10,000 mark has been well smashed (heard it had been reached by Friday's close of business but it's only hearsay).

Surprised at that. We were at 9157 5 days ago and we've had the open day where season tickets were selling well. Surprised we're only sold 150 since Thursday morning. Although still selling at a faster rate than required to reach 10,000

Hibs have had two sell out matches for a stadium with around 20,500 seats and the official attendance given was 19,000 or so. Neither had any segregation issues.

At a guess this must be folk whose card either didn't work or were let through without being counted for whatever reason.

[Lancs Harp]

Virtually every Club in England quotes tickets sold and not the actual attendance figure its been like that for a few seasons now.

Taken to an extreme Blackpool for instance sold a dual season ticket two seasons ago. Last season fans actively boycotted the club regardless of having a dual season ticket or not. Officially the club gave out an average attendance of close to 7000, when in reality bums on seats were 3/4000.

I have hear that on really busy days, if the cards/tickets don't swipe in, stewards just check them and then let them in another door, I guess that means they don't get counted

And rightly so as they can't resell those seats, after all. This may or may not have anything to do with the fact that I've spent the last 12 years working in ticketing for two different football clubs and two different rugby clubs!

[Since1875Hibs]

This won't be accurate. Our section is blocked out for example due to voucher system. This is being sorted imminently with ST holders able to relocate in here permanently which we'll share more on soon.

[Nicho87]

I would say if your Season Ticket nom 10,000 you get upgraded to corporate hospitality for first home game and not for just a fiver off either Rod.

[SaulGoodman]

Season tickets 1-10 should get Hospitality before season ticket 10,000 does.

Saying that, anyone that bought a season ticket should be praised. No special recognition for being lucky.

I believe he is trying to think of incentives to sell more tickets. In truth I'm sure we will get just over 10,000 season tickets without having to reward the 10,000th sold :thumbsup:

[mutley]

That's what I thought too, but I've seen it myself, someone doesn't scan, they go to the stewards the disabled door, show ticket and get let in. I don't suppose there are that many

I'm not surprised we haven't reached the 10k target yet.

We still haven't won a single game under our illustrious new manager!





Lennon out!


:grr:

[Dashing Bob S]

This already means that every league game next season will kick off in front of a five-figure crowd. That's a big step forward from last term.

[CallumLaidlaw]

At the update last week, we had to sell 17 season tickets a day to reach the 10k mark by the time the season kicks off. Thats now down to 13 a day. :flag:

[hibs0666]

That's 900 season tickets sold in the last 11 days. Not too shabby at all. :flag:

Even if sales fall to half that level in the coming days we can still expect to pass 10K mark in the next fortnight.

I think it will be a fair old achievement, getting to that figure after three years in lower league. Allbeit cup ein has helped.

It would be good to get this figure set as a baseline for the next gew years - its a solid figure and income for the club and should be achievable.

Once we sell 10-11k this year we really need to win the league then come out with a target of 15k and really push to get our crowds up to where they should be and get some of those 150k parade fans back (or signed up 1st time).

These visible targets help drive sales without doubt. Winning helps too obviously 😀

[hibsmad]

Having our first match of the season away to Falkirk could end up adding a few extra to the total.

If we go out and pump them then it will give us another boost and fans will have another week to purchase knowing they haven't missed out on any games by not purchasing for the start of the season.

Thats a brilliant figure considering no signings.

2 high profile players and we'll push 11k

Superb effort - should only have around 300 odd still to shift to reach the 10k target.

Couple of interesting signings would see a few more commit hopefully. Be great to push up to and past the target.

[StevieCowan]

I think our record was 11k with average home attendances being 14.5k while being in premier league.

IF we'd been in the Premier this season and now with a bigger stadium then we'd have averaged above 16k once you include the OF, Hearts and Aberdeen visits.

[Col2]

So sounds like we are close to achieving the 10k target and very possible it's achieved by end of this coming week.

So let's say it is achieved by the. - we will still have 6 full weeks before first home league game.

A new target of 11k to be set or even higher? Certainly with a few signings and positive Euro start we should be looking at 11k minimum now possibly closer to 12k IMHO.

I don't know the exact area of the East, sorry, but there were so many we're into another section the lady said :thumbsup:

Greg Mailer has contacted me already to say thanks and that we've nearly smashed the 10,000 target and are on course to beat the 07/08 record!

Superb news Suzy. :aok:

surely its only a matter of days until the 10'000th ticket is sold

[HibsNutter]

Just under 250, we'll make that in a few days.

Looking forward to signings being announced, we may sell a whole lot more yet. :thumbsup:

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Must admit that the massive pessimist in me thought that 10k season ticket holders was a big ask

Boy was I wrong and glad of it!

I must re-train my mind to the new Hibs way of thinking.

Well done to everyone who has signed up

Lets kick on to 11k!

GGTTH

[hibeg]

Myself and my lad will be buying next week. First season tickets for 6 years. :thumbsup:

[hibs0666]

Will take until maybe Friday next week.

[RoxburghHibs]

Will take until maybe Friday next week.

Agreed but we will get there.

10,500 season ticket holder by start of the season would be my guess. Which is a fantastic effort :flag:

[MB62]

Pay day today for a lot of people, maybe a wee increase towards the weekend now :thumbsup:

Wow going to smash 10k, well done hibs etc

[Gingertosser]

Renewed my season ticket last week, but had to move seats as someone had taken my old one.

I understand the club wants to get as much money in early, but surely they could extend the renewal process till the end of June.

People will always go for the early bird as it saves them some money, so income is still guaranteed.

Newbies had the option of about 8000 seats that were sitting unused.

[.Sean.]

Some good signings, promising signs in the pre-season fixtures and a performance against Brondby in front a big crowd at Easter Road to keep the feel good factor rolling in and we'll sell 12000 - if folk are still not flocking back they never will

Too much to ask??

[Skyegreen]

Calling all Hibees!

It's time to come back and back the club!!! Preferably by buying a Season Ticket!

C'mon, let's be having ye! 💚👍

[MrSmith]

It'll jump further when signings are made 😎 me n my boy still to get 😃

[CraigHibee]

great stuff, edging closer, i think winning the scottish cup has helped bring some folk back again as well

well done guys, I'm sure we will nail it

[joe t]

Not got mine yet but it is DEFO happening. First ST since Le God was sacked. Won't manage a fair few games but supporting the club is the important thing here. They deserve it after the cup win #GGTTH

The payment plan is available until the end of July.

Probably. Feel good is high at the moment because of 1 game and a new manager. However, we're still in the lower leagues, have signed no one and lost a few including Stokes. Long way to go. Anything over 10k is a remarkable effort.

Yes there were seats available but nothing like 8,000. Hibs had sold in excess of 8,000 tickets and there were 2,000 - 3,000 who hadn't renewed at that point. Take away the away end and corporate seats in the West and there would be more like 4,000 seats to choose from.

Many of the seats available were not the best. The whole of the lower south stand was not available and very little in the East or West apart from the flank sections.

Hibs had to draw the line somewhere, particularly as no seats were available in the Family Stand.

[Dashing Bob S]

We're going smash 10K easily.

When you think that we had very few 10K plus gates last season, the next term we won't have one lower than that. Great achievement for a club in the second tier of Scottish football for the third term, which has been in decline for almost a decade.

The Scottish Cup win has removed a big monkey from our backs and changed the culture of the club to one of optimism.

[Finn2015]

Just a case of when and not if and who knows when all is said and done, a figure of 11,000 might be achievable

[SaulGoodman]

Aw Jesus I'm away to top myself thanks for that

[Ronniekirk]

Wow going to smash 10k, well done hibs etc

We will ,but this current figure includes. The Kick For Kids tickets and Leith Links that Suzy bought in bulk so credit to all those who contributed to those causes
I have still to buy my own Season Ticket and one for Leith Links and judging by others comments its clear we will end up nearer 11 ,000 than 10 ,000 by the end of July imo which is fantastic
Quality signings always help but whether we get another signing of the calibre of Mcginn a fit McGeoch or the promising Talent of Henderson remains to be seen But at least we still have two of these three and if Dylan could last the Season that would be a real bonus

Who have we lost, who is of any importance, bearing in mind that Stokes and Hendo weren't ours to lose? We've done well in that regard and look set to keep everyone who Lennon wants, which is excellent given the calibre of player we have, some of whom are about to spend their third season in this league. We are doing remarkably well to hold on to them.

[tamig]

Think he was meaning existing ST holders having the option on their own seat til end July. As others have said, the club have to draw the line somewhere and that date would be far too late imo. Got to make the available seats attractive to newbies.

[Dashing Bob S]

Hearts 400,000
Celtic 35,000
Huns 28,000
A'deen 10,000

The rest nowhere until you go down a division.

[StevieT]

Just bought a season ticket for me and my wife to be. We get married in September and money is a bit tight but extending the payment plan date has made it possible. I haven't had a season ticket for around 20 years and this is her first ever. Refereeing and other reasons have prevented me from attending as many games as I would have liked but we have decided it's now or never to get back in to the fold.

Cheers bigwheel. I have Hibs TV and donate monthly to Leith Links so have always felt that I was doing something. Really looking forward to getting back in to the routine of going week in week out. We know we will miss at least two home games so will probably be out of pocket but after our historic victory how could you not sign up?

i think Craig Thomson and his ilk pissed us all off, mate.

[Finn2015]

Amazing to think really we will have roughly the same as Aberdeen who have finished as runners up the last two seasons

I'm going to put my neck on the line and say there will be home league games next season with less than 10,000 folk there.

A great effort on the ST sold front nonetheless.

[Skyegreen]

We've always been known as a sleeping giant. More like a giant in a coma at times to be fair.
What a great opportunity we have now to kick on, now that we have managed to win our holy grail.
Let's all really get behind the club and Neil Lennon and take this club back up to the Premiership were we belong.
If we can do that, I fancy we could well attract a better average support than Hearts or Aberdeen.

[RoxburghHibs]

Have Aberdeen really sold 10000 season tickets? That's a really high number for them also!

[MB62]

I think that's certain to happen as there will be a few S.T. holders who just cannot make it along for various reasons.

I know I will be exactly the same. In fact, I have bought our S.T.'s in a season where I know I will probably miss more home games than at any time in the recent past, again for various reasons. However, if you can't buy a S.T. in the year after we just reached our Holy Grail, when the eff are you ever going to buy one?

Looks like it, we've moved from the FF. Couldn't get any decent seats together in the east 👍

[Skyegreen]

We can't be far off 10K now, getting impatient for an announcement. C'mon Leanne, your far too honest for your own good. What's a few hundred seats between friends after all 😁😜👍
