I am trying to buy an online ticket for our Europa Cup tie at Easter Rd, and I keep getting the message "Forbidden You don't have permission to access hibernianfc/details/event.asps on this server"
Anyone any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks. Tom in Hongkong.

Nope, but in the past I've simply emailed and/or rang them to fix up tickets.

Mind that was a while ago though...

I don't know if its because the e ticketing site is not working for everyone, or if it blocks overseas purchases?

Try on a different server, an oversea server may block things like that.

anyone else had success in buying tickets online from overseas? It would seem ridiculous if we cant.

If you are in Hong Kong, that may be the problem. Hong Kong is part of China, and if the running dogs of the capitalist media are to be believed, the Chinese government have a very long list of websites it doesn't let its citizens access.

As posted above, if you can use a proxy server based overseas (from China), that might work, alternatively, email the club.

I bought them last season but had them delivered to my brothers address in Musselburgh. Also got cup final ticket and had a family member
pick it up from ticket office for me, never seems to be a problem.
