So we now some of the Wheatfield and the Roseburn.

Will Bonnyrigg be sharing the Wheatfield with us? Not sure how they would segregate that pre and post match.

Hearts segregate it every week. Enter via the wheatfield I think. You can walk right round the back.

Common sense at last, but what plonker(s) came out with the original plan?

I expect us to sell out the Roseburn and spread our way along most of the Wheatfield.:thumbsup:

It doesn't actually say how many tickets we have ..... the Roseburn holds about 3,000 and the Wheatfield about 6,000. I'm guessing we will have about 6,000 tickets, which means Bonnyrigg having to sell the same, there's going to be a lot of Yams at this one methinks.

Here is what the Rose website says. Looks like they have 2/7th of the Wheatfield if they sell out the Gorgie Road Stand. Much more sensible than the first plan. Hopefully, it will be all Hibs in two stands and all Bonnyrigg in the other.

Following consultation with Heart of Midlothian, Hibernian and Lothians & Borders Police our original seating allocation has now changed. We will be allocated the Gorgie Stand as per original communication and also sections A & B of the Wheatfield Stand should demand be sufficient. Hibernian will be allocated the remainder of the Wheatfield Stand and also the Roseburn Stand.
Tomorrow's ticket sale will be for the Gorgie Stand only. There will be a further ticket sale for the Wheatfield Stand next week if Gorgie Stand tickets are sold out.

Yep. Didn't read that properly before posting. Would imagine it'll be the same principle for Bonnyrigg fans though, enter via Gorgie turnstiles where most of their fans are as, like the roseburn end, you can walk right round to the wheatfield. If they even need it.

Not quite sure how this will work.

Hibs get roseburn end - enter usual away entrances.

Hibs fans in Wheatfield - surely have to use Wheatfield entrance / exit and Rose fans use behind goals entrances.

Can't have everyone using roseburn entrance as that wouldn't be able to cope and same with exiting.

The main aim stand will not be open for the match, so not a 17000 stadium.

We aren't getting enough tickets to cover all season ticket holders, therefore they cannot put on a general sale until they've all had an opportunity to purchase. Part of the benefits of being a season ticket holder.

"They" are organising the match to best balance the priorities of the home team and the away team Season ticket holders. Add in the input from Police who would never agree to a PATG arrangement then I don't see what your issue is.

It's not a 17000 stadium for the game as the Old Asbestos Fleapit is not open, but at approx 13,000 it's significantly a better option for Hibs supporters than playing the game at Bonnyrigg, where we'd be lucky to get 1000 tickets

Im pretty sure your solution of a free for all is both unfair and unsafe - IMHO of course

Apparently not, this was floated weeks ago and apparently it's against the rules, can't be played at the 'away' team's ground.

Even at easter road, ST holders would have likely had the chance to buy their own seat ahead of general sale.

As many others have pointed out, there will be a max of 13,000 available due to the main stand being shut. We are the away team so Bonnyrigg can request as many tickets as they like. They are suggesting they might sell between 3-5000 leaving us-potentially-3000 short if all our current season ticket holders wished to buy a ticket.

There is no possible other way Hibs could have done this. Unless of course they wanted to undermine all the season tickets that continue to be sold in record numbers.

17,000 capacity stadium my arse! Hearts haven't had much more than 16,500 for some time. At least since Budge shut down the Neanderthals section (N?) in the Main Stand. In any event the Main Stand is deemed too dangerous to open.

I will be surprised if this comes anywhere near a sell-out at those prices.

There will be plenty of tickets to go around.

Think you are way off the mark! Bonnyrigg will have 4000 no problem ( great occasion for the town and team) and it's once in a lifetime game for some. It's also Hibs 1st game in the Scottish since "that day" so I will be shocked if Hibs supporters don't turn up in decent numbers. I just hope we don't underestimate them because they showed against Dumbarton over two games that they can play. Really looking forward to it. There will be far more than 8000 at the game.

Seems madness to be playing it at a stadium where the whole main stand is going to be closed and therefore empty down 1 side of the pitch.

Bonnyrigg would have been aswell just using Easter Road; nice facilities for their big day, a crowd on all 4 sides of the ground. We are actually worse at home so would probably be more advantageous for Bonnyrigg .

With what has happened to the young lad that played for them, Hibs and Leith community would have rallied round to get as many along as possible. I'm sure there will be a decent crowd at Tynie but ridiculous they are closing the main stand for that 1 game.

It can't be as they have more Season Tickets than the rest of the stadium holds, plus Away supporters.

The stand itself isn't getting knocked down until the end of the season, however they will still be working round the back as far as I know.

No matches were scheduled to be played at the PBS in January. I'd imagine that the contractors will be taking advantage of this 'window' to carry out certain work, eg. there are probably underground drains, power and water supplies which will have to be diverted to accommodate the foundations of the new stand. This could mean excavations etc. which might be OK for everyday use but unacceptable for matchday/supporter access.

I suspect this is why there was a delay in confirming Tynecastle as the venue - things would have to have been agreed by the contractors, ie. having the stadium ready again for matches a week earlier then planned.

Spending twenty quid to watch Hearts versus a junior side at Easter Road in the cup, in order to sign anti-Hearts songs? I can't think of any Hibs fan I know with such a sad and ******ed world view whereby they'd countenance such nonsense. Therin lies the difference.

Great effort from them to be fair [emoji1376][emoji1376]

Reinforces my original argument on this thread which was that Hibs were absolutely correct to limit ticket sales to one per ST. This could have sold out the whole of Tynecastle, real shame that one side will be closed. It should also undoubtedly be one of the televised games, however from a selfish point of view I'm glad it's 3pm on Saturday.

Without reverting to a Loyalty Points debate LOL, there's going to be a few disappointed ST holders who won't get a ticket for the game I reckon.

Despite some reservations from others on here earlier in this thread that we'll 'struggle' to sell around 8-9 thousand tickets for a cup game against a Junior team, now it's been confirmed Rose have sold out their allocation, can't see any way this will go to General sale.

My point is, that full season ST holders should get first dibs to buy tickets, then half season ST holders come in a second wave. If there are any left after that then fair enough, a general sale required. Just don't believe it will come to that given the restricted capacity.

First, not everyone got a chance to sign up. There was only ever going to be a maximum of 350. What would have happened if 11000 had applied? However, as it turned out barely more than half that number botherf

Secondly, i explained in an earlier post why the scheme was unnecessary. Cant be bothered repeating.

Thirdly, calling it a nonsense scheme is not plain stupid. It is my humble opinion. Our company number 24 going to games and none of us signed up for away ST.

How? Because the club realising that scrapping the loyalty scheme was controversial had to do something for those who had high points levels as they go to every game, explain how it would be fair to scrap the loyalty system then make it free for all for away tickets meaning that someone who has been to every game in the last couple of seasons could miss out on a bigger game as they may not have been able to get online or to easter rd on the day of sales, at leat with the points system you got a few days to get your tickets. IIRC correctly folk with 500 or more points got a chance to sign up then every other ST holder had a chance.

AST gave these fans and every other season ticket holder the chance to guarantee themselves a ticket for every all ticket away match by committing to purchasing them whether they can go or not. Everyone got the chance to sign up but only 300 or so did and you'll find these were high points holders from the last to seasons. So are you're complaining about a scheme you chose not to join and now moan hat these folk get tickets??

Hibernian are pleased to announce the details of the away season ticket scheme, which will be implemented in time for the first away league match of the season against Falkirk.
Supporters signing up for an away season ticket are committing to purchasing a ticket for every away match in the Ladbrokes Championship, Irn Bru Challenge Cup, Betfred League Cup and William Hill Scottish Cup. Money will be automatically debited shortly before the match tickets go on sale, normally around two weeks before the match.
The number of away season ticket holders will be capped at 350, which is half of our smallest league allocation of away tickets (Dumbarton). This means that tickets should be available for every match to supporters who do not wish to take part in the away season ticket scheme, with season ticket holders given a priority window where demand is expected to exceed supply of tickets.
Away season tickets will be available at the Hibernian Ticket Office, by phoning 0844 844 1875 option 2 or by e-mailing the form below to tickets@hibernianfc.co.uk.
Supporters looking to buy away season tickets in groups are advised to complete only one application – we are not able to facilitate individual away season ticket holders sitting together for each match. If the tickets are purchased through one application the tickets will be allocated together.
The away season ticket will be on sale as follows:
10am Wednesday 27 July: 500+ loyalty points
10am Friday 29 July: all home season ticket holders
The loyalty points scheme will be disbanded after the introduction of this scheme – we do not anticipate using it again. They have been used in this instance as a mechanism for selling the away season ticket scheme only and will not be used for the sales arrangments for the Falkirk game.
Away season tickets will only be available for purchase until 5pm on Thursday 4 August.
A FAQ relating to the away season ticket can be found below:
How does the away season ticket work?
In signing up for the away season ticket, the supporter is committing to purchasing tickets to every away match when they become available.
The supporter would register card details with Ticketmaster through the Hibernian Ticket Office. The card would then be debited automatically every time an away match goes on sale.
How can I sign up for the scheme?
You can sign up by visiting the Hibernian Ticket Office in person, over the phone on 0844 844 1875 option 2 only or e-mailing the below form to tickets@hibernianfc.co.uk. If your are joining by e-mail the Ticket Office will phone you back to take payment details.
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE APPLICATION FORM (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1NUMvCgNtouZlp4Z0NJYVA4aU0)

If I sign up can I opt out of purchasing for certain games?
No, signing up for the away season ticket commits the supporter to purchasing a ticket for every away game in the Ladbrokes Championship, Betfred League Cup, Irn Bru Challenge Cup and William Hill Scottish Cup. Please note it does not apply to the UEFA Europa League.
Is there an up-front cost to signing up?
No, there is no up-front or additional cost to signing up.
Can I purchase away season tickets as part of a supporters group?
You can – but everyone wishing to be seated together must be part of the one application form, with the cost of the tickets being deducted from one credit/debit card. Please let the Ticket Office know when you are registering.
Are there any restrictions on who can purchase an away season ticket?
At present the away season ticket is only on sale to home season ticket holders, with a priority window for those who attended the most games over the last two seasons. From discussions with other clubs operating similar schemes and from analysis on our own supporters’ attendance at away matches we believe there will be sufficient tickets for the expected demand.
How many away season tickets will be sold?
We have capped the sales at 350 tickets to ensure that tickets will still be available for non-away season ticket holders.
If I don’t buy an away season ticket will there still be an opportunity to buy tickets to away matches?
Yes. We don’t envisage receiving less than 350 tickets for any away match, so there will always be some tickets available for sale to the wider support base. For games where demand exceeds supply we will give a priority window to home season ticket holders.
What if there is a ticket promotion at a certain game e.g family price?
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to be part of this once signed up to the away season ticket – you will be required to pay the full amount of the match ticket.
Do I get to choose my seat?
No you don’t, you will be allocated a seat. This means that it may not be possible for you to have a ticket beside those who don’t own an away season ticket. If you apply as part of a group your tickets will be allocated together.
Do I collect my tickets or will they be posted?
Tickets will be for collection from Easter Road. An additional cost will be incurred to have all tickets posted out to you.
When will my account be debited?
We will aim to debit accounts one day prior to the tickets going on sale to season ticket holders. This is normally approximately 2 weeks before the match, but can change depending on when we receive tickets from the opposition side. If a payment is not taken the Club will contact the individual directly to discuss.
What happens if the away club doesn’t provide tickets to Hibernian for sale in advance of a match?
If the Club doesn’t receive tickets from the away side we are not in a position to allocate you tickets as part of the away season ticket scheme.
No money will be debited from your account in relation to that fixture and you will need to purchase a ticket at the stadium on the day of the game.
How long will the away season ticket be available to purchase?
Supporters will be able to sign up to the scheme until 5pm on Thursday 4 August.

A home ST guarantees a specific seat at the same ground for all league games and offers a slight discount on walk up prices for each game.It also guarantees your seat for cup games at extra cost.

An away ST guarantees a ticket for each game away from Easter Road and includes tickets played away from ER in the cup. There is no discount applied and the only privilege is your are guaranteed a ticket somewhere in the ground at each away game. Two completely different schemes,maybe the term AST is misleading as there is no physical ticket just an entitlement to one.

Sounds like a loyalty scheme would be the ideal way to reward the fans that attend the most games rather than Hibs administering a scheme to take money from Hibs fans on behalf of other clubs with no financial benefit to Hibs.

Not berating anyone. All i've said is the scheme is nonsense

For the record. I had 500+ loyalty points but chose not to join AST

I have also never needed to buy a ticket for the home end at any Hibs game

I wonder if they will end up opening the MS at Tynecastle as demand will undoubtedly outstrip supply, maybe split the stand half and half.

I signed up and think it's a great scheme, not as good as the loyalty points but it does suit me. I gave bank details and all I have to do is collect my ticket. No trying to book by phone, Internet or queuing.

I had full points as like some I go to every game. However I do not in any way think of myself an elitist. I am a Hibs fan who's lucky enough to have a job that allows time off and finances to go to the games.

For those who think it's a nonsense scheme that's fine but it suits me I'm happy with it.

I think what exasperates the situation (and I've found this happen in the Scotland Supporters Club site) is that when it crashes and bins people off, the tickets are still in your basket. Therefore cannot be reallocated. This gives the impression of sell outs, when all that is happening is the site has just crashed with excessive volume.

TBH, sites like this should be more than able to handle a few thousand Hibbees logging in on a Monday morning.

Somehow, after 10 minutes of playing around with different options, eventually got tickets in to Basket for the original section I chose (Wheatfield Upper D). No idea how that worked.:confused:

Then took another 20 minutes to pay and finally get the Confirmation screen. Not ideal but got there eventually.

Can only say be patient, although I was panicking a bit. The site is really slow (for obvious reasons). Stick with it and hope everyone gets their tickets.
