You can't re-sell season tickets when folk don't so up tho. If we sell all 16,000 tickets for the home end that's a sell out. If 3,000 season tickets holders don't show up, there's not a lot that can be done about it.

Because season ticket holders didn't all turn up on the day. 5 next to me, for example were posted missing.

That meant that, STs sold aded to walk ups plus the piss poor Raith support equals 3/4 of the ground sold.

Just over 2 thousand remaning with almost a week to go and feel good factor better suggests a home sell out by Friday.

Commons fitter and contributing where it counts. Cummings scoring goals, Humpries new signing so might feature and chance for Fyvie to be back.

Can't wait.

If you can make this.. get yourself to ER and make it a night to remember.

Think the atmosphere will be bouncing like the last Friday night game and we should aim to fill all 3 stands and half the south stand.

If it does fill up then maybe Hibs can sort something for those who can't make it can make their seat available with permission so someone else can take the possible empty seat.

If so, Hibs now have a call to make. Either release more tickets for United, making South Stand segregation for home fans more difficult, or keep home fans sales to home stands and risk the possibility of disappointed Hibs supporters.

Depends if the decision gets made to open the south. They won't do it if they are only going to sell a couple of hundred tickets there and the cost of segregating it would be too much.

Agree. The club are not going to spend money on stewards, staff to man kiosks and extra policing to accommodate a handful of fans.
I would advise anyone thinking of going to get their tickets now to avoid disappointment.

Stewards will already be there as the stand is already open, can't imagine it would take many more to take care of it. Catering is outsourced so no expense to Hibs at all. And Hibs also have the 'barely any police' policy nowadays for the smaller games so can't see there being a large police presence.

If 200 extra Hibs fans want in, we open the stand, simple as that. We need as many through the gate as possible to try and keep them within! Never know, it's a Friday night, you might just get 5/600 turn up on the night wanting in with nothing else to do, rather than sit in the pub.

offshorehibby
02-01-2017, 04:19 PM
Another way to look at it is, if there's only odd seats left here and there, it could put put pairs or small groups going to game. If they were to maybe announce the South was open then maybe get a rush on small groups.

There won't be anywhere near the same number of stewards if it's just Dundee Utd fans in the stand though. If they put Hibs fans in there too, the number of stewards required will go up and therefore it will cost Hibs more.

I absolutely agree that we should be looking to open up the south stand to Hibs fans if the demand is there but we need to be sensible about it.

Dont kid yourself that was in any way altruistic, its because they think 7000 is a decent home crowd - if they could have sold them to arabs, they would have. Their fans dont turn up but they knew we would buy them.

I would keep an eye on the club's website as I don't think it wI'll be long before they make a statement on tickets for sale in the Sout Stand.
Leanne Dempster has already stated earlier in the season that provisions will be made for Hibs supporters in this stand if crowds continue to increase towards the end of the season.

I make it around just over 1700 tickets left to sell (1724 to be exact!) with 651 left in the East, 766 in the West and 307 in the Famous Five. Around 370 tickets sold today so with four days left of sales and an expected rush when the ticket office reopens likely to be sold out by kick off. So maybe Hibs will have to open part of the Away (South) stand to Hibs supporters to cater for demand?

Sorry but I'm no buying that 'too much hassle' line. If there's seats to sell to Hibs supporters and Hibs supporters want to buy them, you sell them. Doesn't matter if it's 2 or 2000.

Nothing to do with too much hassle and everything to do with too much cost. 2 tickets would get to club £40 odd in extra home revenue but that we be more than outweighed by the extra stewarding costs, as daft as that sounds.

Still, I think there'll still be a decision to be made with demand as it currently is with 4 days before the game.

Have we not said his a few times and then the predicted attendance never happens? We had the same chat against the Pars in August yet were about 3800 short!
It's because of no-shows by season ticket holders.

All clubs down south report the attendance on tickets sold and not on numbers through turnstiles.

As things stand Hibs have sold around 16,000 (assuming that hospitality are fairly full and Dundee United shift their current quota).

Another four days to go plus walk-ups should see that one reach 17,000 plus.

But there are no guarantees it will not be reported as 15,500 due to absent season ticket holders.

I, for one, will not be there as I am in Singapore.

Still it's looking good:

It's all good for the club tho... once you take off the season tickets we're looking at 5,000 tickets sold just for this game which is a fair wedge.

Up to the team now to do their bit and get the result which will put clear water between us and Utd.

You should contact the club and let them know so the seat can be sold to someone else and the club makes more money.

I plan to take dad and friend along in kids' place and hope ticket office can do this on Wednesday morning by phone, as we're coming from Borders. Ta.

Easy enough cost me 11quid to do this a few weeks ago to upgrade will just be giving a paper ticket for entry

Somebody recently reported that Leanne Dempster said ST no-shows were around 10% each game. With it being a Friday and on TV you'd think it would be higher, so the total attendance will probably be about 1,500 down on the number of tickets sold.

Yeah, I'm not convinced about this either.

There was a suggestion by some that Hibs announced the Tickets sold for the last home game, which is open to debate, but I doubt very much they did this for any of the other matches this season.

Had a quick look and the club haven't yet taken out the usual seats in the end sections for PATG (usually one day before the game) so that's an incredible amount to have already sold with just over two days left.

I have a feeling they will open part of the South Stand to Hibs Fans

I really can't see why they wouldn't. People want to sit in the best seats, and unfortunately there is a reason that the end sections are always last to go. Get the South opened up and allow people to choose decent seats to sit in groups, and if people know it is going to be open, they might just plan to PATG on Friday night. Announcing it on Friday Morning leaves no time for people to arrange to get through if they weren't planning on.

It looks like we are selling about 600 tickets per 24 hour period. A 19,000+ crowd looks a certainty now.

Already today one section has went from green to yellow. There are only five green sections left and most, if not all, will turn yellow by the end of the day. I expect an announcement - tomorrow at the latest - that the South Stand will be opened for the game.

Some effort from the Hibees, and not too shabby from Dundee United either. :thumbsup:

I would imagine those seats will still sell well today Scoop, but also the only seats available in groups are the very end sections. Like it or not, these don't have great views attached to them. If you are in two minds whether to go or not, especially in large groups, you are very unlikely to get seats together unless you sit in the FF upper corner, West/FF corner, or the South/East corner. Not great for anyone. However, open the South up, these seats will still be sold to walk ups on Friday night (200 max in each stand will be left), but you will also have a fair contingent in the South, meaning Hibs fans on all 4 sides. It doesn't make any sense to keep the stand closed until the last minute.

I understand your sentiment Sam but I don't entirely agree with it.

You are making a case for people who can't make their minds up whether they want to go or not but maybe wouldn't go if they can't get good seats. Heroes these guys eh.

There are enough seats that groups can get seats together.

I hope and think they will open up the South for us but it's not as if people can't buy seats just now.

All true mate and I agree. However, if people are forced to make a last minute decision (eg getting the night off work, finding a baby sitter last minute etc) but it hasn't been announced that the South will be open, they are less likely to try and get there as they aren't guaranteed to get in, whereas if they know they can walk up and get a seat/seats with mates, IMO, it makes it a lot easier to make that decision to up and go, knowing you will get a seat and a half decent one at that. Leaving that announcement til the final day doesn't make any sense to me..

I'd imagine (total guess) on a regular game day we will have upwards of at least 500 walk ups (i.e purchasing at the pods), and by lunchtime today the way sales are going already, there will be less than 1000 tickets available. We are selling about 4-600 per day at the moment which all leads towards needing the South open. The earlier that announcement is made, the better the chance of filling it and enticing more along.

That is not necessarily what matters. If it was me I would rather get a decent seat behind the goal rather than sit at the extreme end of the west and east stands. Give people the choice and let them make their own minds up either way.

What my point is, is it doesn't make any sense to hold that announcement off however. If people know it will be open and they can get a seat, they will plan ahead and make arrangements. If the announcement is made late tomorrow or on Friday itself, it will be too late for a lot of people to find babysitters or take the night off.

Given the choice between the end sections and behind the goal, I would prefer the latter, but I've sat in one of the end sections in the East before and it was still a decent view so it wouldn't put me off going to the game.

But different people have different views (pardon the pun) so maybe it would put some people off.

Either way I don't think it's going to make a massive difference to the size of the crowd on the night.

So let's say on Friday morning we have 400 tickets left, but only in groups of 2 maximum, you would not open the South to let larger groups sit together and lose out on that money, when we have 1500 empty seats in that end? Every seat available to home fans should be open, and if we aren't going to announce it now, when it is blatantly clear that the home ends are going to be sold out/very close to sold out within the next day, we would be as well just firing the tickets over the Dundee United to sell. I have no idea why people wouldn't want to have Hibs fans on all four sides, even if it meant that there were small pockets of empty spaces in the other three stands. The atmosphere would increase massively at that.

Agreed Brooster. I usually sit at the West Stand end sections and the views are excellent. Better than behind the goals to be honest. The FF is my least favourite but still good views. Good news is we will have a good 15000-16000 Hibernians supporting the greens 👍

The Scottish League should be 16 teams playing each other twice a season.

You would get a more competitive league and higher home and away attendances.

The fans want to see a competitive league and not one who teams are 20 points behind Celtic and seasons over by new year.

It is hardly going to cost the club an arm and a leg to open the stand. The catering is outsourced, the police presence at these games is minimal, and the stewards will already be at the game, just requiring relocating to the South stand. It would cost very little to open the stand to Hibs fans I would imagine, and unfortunately, sometimes the atmosphere in getting the team over the line is far more important than worrying about losing a couple of thousand pounds in one stand, when we are already making many more thousands from the game.

West Lower - 269
West Upper - 133

739 in total left as it stands.

So we seem to be shifting 200 per hour! This will sell out today at this rate.

It is hardly going to cost the club an arm and a leg to open the stand. The catering is outsourced, the police presence at these games is minimal, and the stewards will already be at the game, just requiring relocating to the South stand. It would cost very little to open the stand to Hibs fans I would imagine, and unfortunately, sometimes the atmosphere in getting the team over the line is far more important than worrying about losing a couple of thousand pounds in one stand, when we are already making many more thousands from the game.

Slightly off topic Sam, but I thought Hibs had changed this.

Certainly the hospitality has changed to Hibs getting the profit as has the drink sales in Behind the Goals.

Wouldnt you say that the specific number of extra tickets they have received means that we are keeping the option open to split the stand?

Yup, the option still exists.

I think that's a sensible decision, given how many Utd have sold so far, but I think it knocks on the head any chance of having Hibbies in the South Stand.

I'm sure there's a rule that disallows having home fans above away fans, and vice-versa, and given the size of Utd's allocation, I can't see how they can now separate fans easily


If they give Dundee Utd sections 28-30 in the lower area and 34-36 in the upper that could allow sections 26-27 in the lower and 31-32 in the upper to go to Hibs fans and section 33 left empty for segregation.

AFAIK, the stands are divided in the concourse underneath half way along, so I was basing this on the fact that the numbers of tickets Utd have been allocated takes them over half way in either the top or bottom sections, possibly both (depending on the sections allocated), making segregation in the concourse difficult



It's just speculation and I'd be happy to be wrong, as I'd love to see a near sell-out

I would think that the exit points from the seats still push them towards the right end of the concourse segregation. The seats will just have the tarpaulin and some stewards to separate the fans.

Think we'll find out by end of today if we are splitting it.

I presume the original 1900 would have been two and a half sections in South Lower, and two and a half in the South Upper, and the latest 644 would be the rest of the third sections in both upper and lower.

That would still leave the two/three upper sections (Less segregation) plus two lower sections for Home fans.

At a guess obviously, but sounds like the split that we had when the South was being built.

All section in the east and FF stands are now yellow/red. The only sections that are still green are three baby ones at the ends of the west stand. Given the way that tickets have been shifting, I expect all of those to turn yellow at some point today. :thumbsup:

Looks like the home stands will be sold out before the ticket office opens tomorrow. If United now have 2,500 that leaves 1,400 in the south stand, probably only 1,000 available for Hibs fans when you factor in segregation.

The game is heading for a sell out. Only the unoccupied seats required for segregation and the missing ST's will have the crowd reported below capacity - probably somewhere between 18.200-19,100. It will easily be the biggest Edinburgh attendance this season.

Hospitality in West/FF is back in house Scoop, but the catering outlets are still outsourced as far as I know.

Slightly further towards the East. Probably the other side of the stairs. That picture has less than 2500 to the right of the segregation.

I bought 3 tickets online last night 2 adults (me and a friend) and a student one for my other pal, whol actually is a student. I bought them (special delivery) and the money came out my bank etc.

But after I bought them and when it gives you your order review and things, I noticed it said any student tickets purchased will require student verification, but when I bought them it never asked for any student verification there and then, so what will happen?

Yes, with a 60-40 segregation, it's no bother. Would not be possible with 80-20, as too much pressure on exits to get to segregated area downstairs and on toilets and catering outlets there.

The guy at the turnstile will ask to see student ID.

But they are being delivered to my address, not being picked up? Or are you meaning they have stewards at assigned turnstiles now?

Hi guys - bought 4 tickets online, 2 of which are students that need collected in person. Anyone know if all the tickets will be together at the TO or will the 2 adults need printed off?

Cheers

Plus with student tickets Ozy, am I not right in saying they are not sent out in the post, you have to collect them from the TO?

They'll ask your mate to show his Matriculation Card at the gate. As you say, he is a Student, so it's no problem... as long as he remembers to take his card ;)

BOB previously mines have been posted out, even though it says on the website that they need collected as its a Student ticket and proof needs to be provided. Maybe best phoning to double check though.

If you have received the two adult tickets in PDF I would print them off. I doubt they will be at TO with the student tickets if you have received them already in PDF form.

Just about all of the yellow sections are down to a tiny handful of unsold seats, with over 48 hours to go until kick off I cant see the home stands not being sold out by Friday morning ..... if Hibs intend to sell tickets from the pods pre match they have to be seriously considering opening the south.
