Crowd on Thursday

[KdyHby]

Just arrived and bought a ticket in the east

[WeeRussell]

I would say it is more to do with regular fans hoping for more to join them in the stands, particularly for what will be our first European fixture in three years, and only our 44th or 45th? European tie.

And our first competitive game since winning the Scottish Cup. That's the one that gets me - I pictured us almost selling out for our first game to welcome back our heroes from May!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not having a go - as I'm someone who generally rejects the whole 'duty' thing and stands up for anyone's right to pick and choose what games they attend. I just thought there would have been a huge interest in this one.

Looking forward to it, regardless. Even if we were to be eliminated from the tie tonight (that's not a prediction!) - I can't wait to welcome the Hibees back to our pitch!

:flag:

[hibs0666]

I would think that some sections in the East may turn red later.

The FF hopefully will have sections turn from green to yellow later on today.

Looking a lot better than it did on Sunday.

Picture is still the same as of 1pm, but definitely more tickets have been bought over the last few hours.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Nice weather today .... I can see quite a few walk ups tonight and decent queues at the ticket pods before the match. It was 3 years ago but I seem to recall that being the case before the Malmo game, which was also ( weather wise ) rather a nice evening.

I'm a bit more optimistic that we could hit 12 to 13 thousand .... I hope :greengrin

[Laurs]

I got mines today - didn't get my season ticket seat tho unfortunately....

[Hibs90]

Less than 800 left in the East

[hibsdaft]

Steady queue of half a dozen to a dozen just now at the ticket office

I would get to ER early if you're buying before kick off

[Gatecrasher]

IIRC the Malmo game was looking a poor turnout then the last couple of days the tickets sold well.

[Dashing Bob S]

I'm revising my estimate from 11k plus to 12k plus. Still slow but moving firmly into the 'Bona fide European tie' rather than 'glorified pre season friendly' zone.

[Hamish]

Good man. Deserve plaudits for that drive up.

[CapitalGreen]

Less than 100 single seats left in sec 39-44

[CallumHibs07]

FF ticket sales are always shocking

Most only sit there for the cheap season ticket deals. For non-season ticket games there is an exodus to the East/West.

The lower tier is for the Family Stand and a lot of young children will not be going to a midweek match.

Blindingly obvious!

Why not?

It's the school holidays, after all. :wink:

Yes and a lot of families will be on holiday.

[MurrayfieldHibs]

Yes and a lot of families will be on holiday.

Yup, in Unst on holiday so it's a bit of a long walk to get back to ER tonight......

[jgl07]

The sales in the East Stand are way ahead of season ticket sales. The Upper FF sales are clearly ahead of season ticket sales.

The West Stand looks rather similar.

The Lower FF is the one section considerably behind season ticket sales.

[nairn hibee]

Just bought 2 so just heading away now ,hate the A9 hope it's quiet

[Rick Rude]

Is it not just the case that a lot of people in the famous five take the opportunity to sit elsewhere for these games since there's no reduced pricing for these seats unlike with season tickets?

[scoopyboy]

Why not?

It's the school holidays, after all. :wink:

A lot of the kids go with their parents to the FF for League matches because of the prices, either walk up or season ticket.

When it comes to games like tonight the prices are the same all round the ground so they sit where they would probably like to be all season.

Simples (I think) :greengrin

[Dashing Bob S]

Yes. I stayed faithful to FF as I find the East vulgar and the West too snooty.

[640510]

Section 41 sold out:flag:

[adhibs]

having a look now id guess by kick off the east will be 95% full, west 90%, the ff who knows, hopefully sales will pick up there with the limited options left in the other stands.

[hibs0666]

I'd be surprised if there's less than 12K there come kick-off time.

This is what 10K looks like...

17146

Here's where we were at as of 3pm...

17147

[Callum7]

The east stand is 88.1900768693% sold out.:greengrin

[EH54]

seems to be selling well now...

http://i67.tinypic.com/24174v4.png

[Callum7]

The west stand is 79.4243485025% sold out (not including hospitality)

I'm not doing the FF, that would take to long.

[Moulin Yarns]

East has sections 40 and 41 Red and all the rest amber :aok:

[Keith_M]

By that reckoning you'd be looking at paying 80/90 quid to see Barcelona if they came to ER?


I actually think he made a good point.



Although, with your reasoning, Celtc should be charging about 50p for their home leg.

:wink:

How do you print your tickets? Do I have to go down to ER and collect them myself?

[Billy Whizz]

How do you print your tickets? Do I have to go down to ER and collect them myself?

You get an email with a pdf attached

[GreenCastle]

How do you print your tickets? Do I have to go down to ER and collect them myself?

When buying online - select the printFast at home option.

You will then be sent an email with the tickets - open the email and PRINT - your printed ticket should have a BARCODE on it which you scan as you enter the stadium.

Very simple - hope that makes sense.

6 of us FF lower STs ..... FF upper tonight, best view in the stadium :aok:

Tickets moved to e pods are taken offline, we will not have nearly sold out yet

[Baw187]

Was just round at my mum's picking the kids up and she has a Spanish student staying for 3 weeks while he studies at the Edinburgh School of English. He came in from school in a hurry cause him and a load of other students from the school are meeting up town and going to the game. Apparently it was promoted as a thing to do in the city by the school which I thought was decent.

Tickets are not moved until an hour before kick off. Numbers are accurate.

Okay then

[Since90+2]

What's the guess at numbers currently?

love a dot count me. Back in a mo…. :green grin

OK, so far too many dots to count, but Im estimating currently 13.5K seats taken in the Home end (assuming none of the posh seats in the west are taken).

Am on holiday so cant go but if you ate right and we end up with nearly 14 000 sold in home end that's a very decent turn out given how only recently the club were saying the game was coming too soon

Huge line for tickets in west stand and saw Leigh griffiths outside club shop.

[Cheshire Hibby]

So disappointed to miss this. Overnight bag packed but plans spoiled by work meeting overrunning by an hour and accident at junction 20ish of M6 causing chaos so back home now. C'mon the Hibees.

[theonlywayisup]

Huge queue for tickets.

I'm annoyed - only in the queue as the scanner said my ticket had been used. Was scanned as I went into the BTG and sure that's caused problems.

[Delboy4]

MASSIVE Queues outside..! Glad I'm in and seated.

No danger they will be inside until 30 mins into game, at least

Well its not on tv so they can delay kick off to let the huge late crowd cheer out The Current Scottish Cup Winners

Queue pretty much by main entrance for ticket office at KO.

[G B Young]

13,500. That's a good crowd for mid July.

[Scouse Hibee]

Amazed at the amount of folk who left it so late to get a ticket.

I'm sure a few will have reason to do so, but there is surely a better solution for most than to stand in a lenghthy and slow moving queue a few minutes before KO when print at home (or work..) is freely available. I'd say there were as many in the ticket office queue at 7.45 than there were Brondby fans in the ground.

i couldn't get over that...why on earth do so many people queue for a ticket before the game?

as we have said before - you can scan your phone too. Its mental.
