I renewed plus 1 other on the back of our cup win, and he's not even a Hibby, go figure eh.

[BSEJVT]

I would be astonished if its as many as 2000 who don't renew

Having said that when we bought our Season Tickets after a few years away there were a few "greens" denoting current season ticket holders who had not renewed on the map.

I wouldn't have put it at 2000 though

Its been an expensive time to be a Hibby and I would guess that as the season draws closer many will renew, albeit they will have lost their existing seats

[Ronniekirk]

Last year it was reported by the club at start of season we had 1,000 new S T holders but a 1,000 existing holders hadn't renewed so disappointing if that has now risen to 2,000
But as has been said a third season in Championship is something no one wanted so we will do well to teach Target set

My son and I are in this group that haven't renewed. He's just started a new job which will probably involve a number of Saturday's, and the boy said he'd rather earn. He's told me to go myself !
I'll get him on board before the seat renewal deadline.

As it stands 2000 haven't renewed according to Leeann..

"As things stand, we have almost 8,000 season ticket supporters for next season – an encouraging total for this time of the year, This means however that over 2,000 season ticket holders from last season have still to renew and that we have over 1,000 new season ticket holders. "

[Hibs90]

If I didn't work most Saturday's I'd quite happily get a season ticket. Just can't justify the outlay.

[lord bunberry]

I've not decided whether to renew or not yet. I missed around 8 home games last season due to the constant moving of games from a Saturday. I don't buy a season ticket for it to be value for money, but when we have games being moved because we have a player in the Scotland under 19 team that would never have played anyway I have to wonder if it's worth it. It cost me around £800 for my 3 season tickets last season and I can't justify that sort of outlay when they aren't being used. If I don't get them I will pay at the gate.

Just out of interest LB are you in the ff lower?

[PISTOL1875]

At the minute I have not renewed for the simple fact that I could not stomach another season of HIbs struggling to break down crap oppostion who have no interest in taking a game to us... Also Stubbs's tactics of chucking players out there ' hoping ' that they would break opponents down with no plan B or tactical alternation to change a game not visible... With Stubbs now away I will attend pre-season matches and see how the new manager sets-up his team, the tempo of which he plays at and if he has a visible plan B before deciding...

Also the price is another thing... Going on £400 to spend on a season ticket which inturn works out at around £22 a game to watch pub teams doesn't appeal to me at all.. HIbs made a total ar5e of the pricing issue in my mind.. How could they release season tickets without even knowing what league we were going to be in next season ???

[h1bee123]

If I didn't live 350 miles, I would buy a season ticket straight away! I reckon I will probably make it to 6-7 home games. I wish there was a system where I could pre-pay for 10 games per season at a set value which was cheaper than paying as I go but more expensive than season ticket per game. I understand the reason not for having this system as some people may go for this rather than a season ticket.

Just out of curiosity what is the price per game for an adult season ticket (say in the East)?

If we are talking about home games (the games that the season ticket covers) then we only lost twice and didn't score once. Stubbs tactics were pretty ****ing good at breaking teams down at home.

25 home games played in all comps - won 18, drew 5, lost 2

That blows that theory out of the water!

[Alfred E Newman]

If we have sold 8000 and we had 7000 last season and 2000 haven't renewed yet then must mean we have 3000 new season ticket holders. If we assume that half of the 2000 do renew eventually then that is a terrific response.

[bingo70]

That blows that theory out of the water!

I think we did struggle to break teams down, those stats suggest we managed it most weeks but it was a struggle and more often than not it was pretty dull narrow victories against some dreadful sides.

I'm sure the poster in question can answer for themselves but I think a lot of people are looking for us to start turning teams over more this season and scoring a lot more goals.

[HibsNutter]

The more we sell, the more funds for the manager and more chance of more memories like 21/22nd of May, we want more of that, right?

If you can afford it, please do it.

[Malthibby]

we have a league to win and the boys need our backing.

[The Modfather]

I've not got round to renewing, but will do so this week.

However, before the cup win I had decided I wasn't going to renew. Finances aren't an issue, but the price was. I now look for value for my money, and more importantly time, and £400 odd for the championship is not value for money in my eyes. I think £400 is overpriced for the SPL, albeit that is easier to justify.

As it was, after the cup win I was (and still am) so euphoric I thought the club deserved my renewal despite my misgivings. I was even happy to give Stubbs more time, having previously wanted him out from before the playoffs, and was willing to get behind him despite the shortcomings I felt he had.

Hopefully the high we are all still on extends into a quick start this season and we win the league comfortably and begin to gather some real momentum as a club.

Leann says 1000 new seasons, so it must be 9000 last year with 2000 to renew and the 1000 newbies making the 8000.

I have had a look on the season ticket site and these figures should mean about 7000 green dots in the stadium. It does not look like there are that many but I have not counted them all.

Is there a compulsive green dot counter logged on tonight ? :greengrin

I haven't renewed yet but will toddle along to ER sometime this week and do the deed.

[#FromTheCapital]

I'll be buying a season ticket for the first time in 3 years. Probably won't have the funds until next month though.

[StevieH]

Will be renewing 3 in the next week or so, just haven't had the time to do the deed yet. Wasn't going to renew, but after the Scottish cup win definitely am. Hope we can get the number up to 10k and give whoever the new manager is as much financial and vocal support as we can ( and that the club deserve after 21/5/16).

[Jamesie]

It's been said before but the season ticket model is probably bust, particularly for fans looking for value for money. We played only ten league games at home on Saturdays at 3pm last season, and only two in 2016 - not great news for half season ticket holders. That said, if Lennon gets the manager's gig it will be interesting to see what kind of a bounce in season ticket sales that creates.

[DTS]

Had a season ticket since I was 7 work most Saturday's and have done for the last 3 years but still renew in the early bird window every season, will never see the day where I don't have a season ticket for Easter road

[HappyAsHellas]

3 new ST's this season for us. Having to work Sundays means I'll probably miss a few, but the time is right to really back the club now - everything they said they were trying to achieve they have done and I can't remember the last time I felt so confident about the up and coming season.

[NAE NOOKIE]

With no Sevco or Yams in the league I'm guessing we will have a lot more Saturday 3pm kick offs than the last two years ... for folk who are bummed about kick offs getting rearranged all the time that should be a bonus :aok:

your first phrase has got me a tad confused. finance=not an issue. cost= big issue .why so? is it a principle thing wi' you? I renewed, for a couple of reasons. 1 = had to make sure my son got to the final. 2 = wanted to put money in, to the club I love. 3. not likely to make it to every home game, as I take jobs whenever they come in, but I am determined to put something in to Hibernian fc because I have been a supporter for 47 years and I love going. :rolleyes:

Hmmm how much you wanting?

[Greendeal]

Major issue for me is that last season I couldn't get to 5 games so had to offer my ticket to someone else or it went unused. On the issue of pricing, a West Ham season ticket at the Olympic Stadium next season started at £289. Incredible to think that 1st division football in Scotland £90 costs more than that!

I'll pay at the gate or get a Half ST, I wont get to sit with my group (who have all renewed) but I'll still be there whenever I can.

I only speak for myself, but yes, value for money is more an issue for me than affordability.

I used to go almost religiously in my teens/early twenties. I drifted away in my mid twenties, and only now beginning to come back on a semi regular basis the last few years. I don't know that I will ever have the same unwavering loyalty that I did in my teens/early twenties. I now prize my time as much as looking for value for money in all things. Football isn't as important to me as it once used to be.

In saying all that, THE cup win made me feel euphoric to such a degree that it's hard not to renew despite my misgivings. There's also a former season ticket holder who has dropped off the Hibs radar the last 5 years who is also getting a season ticket again. Here's hoping the cup win is the start of a long and sustained upward curve. :agree:

[Cauld Bovril]

I'm gutted not to be renewing for my son and me but we just don't have the money this year. We'll get to some games and hopefully get half season tickets in December.

I can understand your views regarding another season in the second tier as I felt the same. And I was adamant I wouldn't renew on the journey home following our play off exit at Falkirk. But you know what? That Cup Final has changed everything! In one match we buried the hoodoo that had become a sick joke, we cast aside the 'under achiever' tag, and 'hibsing it' now means coming from behind as underdogs, holding your nerve and emerging victorious to claim the glory. As a result I'm absolutely hyper about the new season ahead! I haven't felt like this for about half a decade. So, to answer your last point, I go to see Hibs, not the opposition and this forthcoming season we can storm this league and I envisage many afternoons going home happy.

[omalley50]

My two boys and myself just renewed,why change the habits of a lifetime.
Have sympathy with those pondering though.
Myself, I miss a few due to work and golf,however it is done and I cannot wait for the season to start.

[CallumLaidlaw]

I renewed back in March/April, but the apathy I felt after the Falkirk 2nd leg was horrible. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't talking about returning my ST or anything like that, but it put me in a real slump football wise in the run up to the cup final, and if I hadn't renewed, I would maybe have been questioning it slightly (I know I would've done it in the end anyway tho, as when the new season started I couldnt bear to be away from ER on a matchday). But its amazing what a difference one single 90 minute match makes. I now cannot wait for the season to start. Whoever the manager is I'm looking forward to hearing his opening interview, to seeing what players we bring in, to see who we'll be playing in Europe, to see who we'll play on the opening & closing day of the season and around christmas time. I can't wait to see the new strip and see what other cup final merchandise the club bring out.

We might be in this league, but Hibs have shown that we are paying Premiership prices because we want to attract Premiership quality players and managers. Yes we didn't get promoted, but we showed that these players are at the right level by beating ICT, Hearts, Dundee Utd, St Johnstone, Aberdeen, Rangers. No matter what you think of his management abilities, the club are now showing ambition in going for Neil Lennon, and that is what excites me. :flag:

Haven't renewed. Won't be renewing. Walk up will suit my schedule more this coming season.
