Sevco away allocation

[SirDavidsNapper]

I didn't pay much attention to the Premiership last season but did anyone cut Sevcos ticket allocation? I know Hearts did but unsure if anyone else. Aberdeen maybe? Was great when Hibs and Motherwell did it in 2015 playoffs. Would love us to do likewise. Would rather have more Hibs fans in the south and less Sevco. Especially with being shoved in a tiny corner of the bigot dome.

[givescotlandfreedom]

If we can sell them we should be doing that to everyone. I can tolerate a full stand of Merricks as long as we get one at the PBS.

[Leith Green]

If it means another 1000 Hibs fans can get tickets then of course we should. Unfortunately i think the club would take the easy money rather than losing however many seats they would for segregation..

I think that might be the clincher when any decision has to be made as well.

Given the current animosity between the two supports, I'd imagine any segregation area would have to be quite large.

[BegbieHSC]

Get it right up them!

Hope we slash tickets for the ****bags - we'll fill a portion of the South no bother! Changed times for us - give them the 900 they give us!

And that's being generous - they give us 1.8% of Ibrox. If we gave them the same in ER it would amount to 230.

If we did that, it's unilkely Hibs supporters would be in the seats in the upper tier directly above them.

Added to the segregation area between the two sets of fans, that would mean the club effectively turning down roughly £30-40k of income.

[Sir David Gray]

We should give them the same percentage of Easter Road that we get for Ibrox - approximately 400 tickets. Then stick them in the bottom tier and put Hibs fans above them and arm the Hibs fans with coins, cups of juice and pies.

**** them.

PS I realise we can't actually do the last part of my suggestion but no reason why we can't give them the bare minimum if the demand is there from Hibs fans.

I would do that with every single away support except Hearts, on the understanding that we still get our usual allocation for Tynecastle.

There will be 3 stands of Merricks at the PBS :)

Its a Wednesday night game bud.

[Since90+2]

In order to cut Sevco's allocation we would need to sell around 18,000 tickets (excluding hospitality) to Hibs fans. Considering we will probably have around 12,600 season ticket holders I dont think thats unreachable.

This. With record season ticket sales do we need a full stand of bellends?

No chance. It's on the telly.

[TelaStella]

If it were up to me I wouldn't be giving them any tickets whatsoever and if that should mean hibs missing out on a few sales then so be it

Hibs will not turn down the chance for "easy money". Unless they play silly buggers with us regarding tickets for the away end at Ibrox they will get the full Dunbar end when we play them.

[Topographic Hibby]

A very strongly worded statement from Hibs about titles and cheating, then let's call their bluff about boycotts and their much sought after Blue pounds (aye, right). Sevco reduce their ticket allocation by their own hand and our place is a far more attractive place for us to take the kids to ER to see them whopping Der Hun.

Simples.

This £30-£40k loss per game is what HSL should have aimed with their latest pitch. Fund us keep the Huns out 😎

[High-On-Hibs]

The days of relying on dirty money are over. I say GTTF. Open the stand for the underprivileged who can't afford to attend regular Hibs games.

They will give us a pathetic allocation for Ibrox as usual. We should do the same in return. We don't need their dirty money.

30/40k loss, if we manage to recruit the right players, hibs fans buy the tickets and keep the zombies away then we turn this into a bigger profit through merchandising sold at the match. Pies, juice, sweets, strips, program not forgetting blooding our future. Hibernian - Reborn.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Celtic and Hearts are our biggest games. Why let Sevco have whole stand? Infact Aberdeen should get more than the wee tribute act

[660]

Was hoping this thread would be about the second game of the season and our plans for the first game against the evil huns post cup win.

The game at Ibrox is the game you get away season tickets for, the game 900 Hibs fans take the cup win, distill it into a 90 minute wind up for the Huns resulting in a total heads gone moment for the entire home support and the entire Rangers “institution”. I want a comfortable victory, an overly policed Hibs support goading the Huns with turf from hampden, bits of the posts, masks of Halliday doing the “I’ve got this”. I want statements, outrage in the daily record and a 10 year investigation into just how Hibs were so brazen to rip the complete pish out of the Huns, not once but twice.

Then let as many of them who can stomach it into ER, and do it all over again.

The thing is if we got given even half the broom loan stand we wouldn't come close to filling it but we'd still be charged for all the tickets whether we sold them or not.

Them on the other hand will fill the dunbar end no problem.

[Hermit Crab]

Tickets for our game at Ibrox can't be far away from going on sale. 4 weeks until the game roughly.

[green&left]

And that's being generous - they give us 1.8% of Ibrox. If we gave them the same in ER it would amount to 230.

In fairness to both sevco and Celtic, there has been times we've struggled to take 300 to those stadiums. Whereas they've probably never failed to sell out the south stand once.

Spot on. Lets not kid ourselves here......The Old Firm and Yams will get all the South Stand each time they visit. Its the easiest and quickest way to make £600k+. We are in a great place with season ticket numbers but not yet in a position where we can sell 19k tickets for these games especially lunchtime live TV games.

Next week or sup surely.

Without wishing to start a debate I'll be sorely disappointed if I don't get a ticket as I've been to Ibrox numerous occasions when we've barely sold even half our allocation.

Nah, I'm on call every third weekend, the rota doesn't really affect my season ticket for home games as I can get back to work in time but I'm not justifying it for away games, but thanks for the arsey response all the same :aok:

I'll just need to go in the raffle with those that only bother going to Ibrox every couple seasons when they feel we've got a chance of a result.

[ALF TUPPER]

Give them 6 . :-)

Slightly hypocritical is it not?

[broondog]

I don't think anyone would disagree with allowing more of us in at the expense of those complete ****bags. I would reduce their allocation to the bare minimum (5%?) every game. but we would never sell the tickets and have to totally disagree with those on here who are saying they would forego money if it meant less of them even if we didn't sell our extra allocation as a result. If we had to segregate and didn't sell tickets in the south beside them that's a lot of cash to lose out on when the fixture will happen twice a season. money is more important I'm afraid when we are competing up the top end of the table next season

[Hermit Crab]

There is no up front cost for an away season ticket. By signing up for it you agree to purchase at ticket through direct debit for every single away match that has a ticket pre sale.

Unless they play silly buggers with us regarding tickets for the away end at Ibrox they will get the full Dunbar end when we play them.you quote it as being easy money, but really is it easy? all of the extra policing and stewarding added to the "encouragement" of their bigoted bile , which will happen , and our club has a responsibility to discourage vehemently. It is well worth cutting their allocation in line with the paltry amount we are given from them. We are a major club in Scottish terms, with a bigger than most away support. they, are exactly the same in terms of ER. we give them a full end. they give us a wee corner. think aboot it .

I don't know if tou tend to go to away matches, and am not inclined to argue that point but the fact is that much more Hibernian fans would like to go to away matches versus The The Rangers and Celtic, than are corrently able to because of our poor allocation(s). why are we allowing them (both) to dictate this? we have a substantial support, that can almost fill our ground against them both. lets try and stop forever pandering to the bigotry

yes I do attend away matches and have been often to Ibrox and Parkhead where I think we get around 900 tickets. I haven´t once seen us sell that out. If we can´t sell that what an earth would be the point in getting an increased allocation? and I don´t think Rangers are dictating their allocation at ER, we have decided to offer the whole stand to them in order to make money. that´s what football is about now and I don´t see why anyone would want to disadvantage ourselves by turning our noses up at that money. we risk having a large empty section beside them in the south if we do as well as a significant area sectioned off for segregation. need to apply a bit of common sense here.

Ibrox has been a slight struggle since they died and came back as a tribute act. Can't recall struggling for tickets before their death. Can't ever recall struggling for Parkhead full stop, or any other ground for that matter other than tynie. People panicking over nothing and have short memories. Prior to relegation our away support was pretty piss TBH (granted the football we were watching contributed massively to that)

We have sold out ibrox the last few times we have been there and who can forget the 6k that went through for the scottish cup match a few years back.

[.Sean.]

What's the absolute minimum we can ask for, is there a rule like there is in the Scottish Cup ? For arguments sake say the minimum we can ask for was 5%, could the club not insist on this?

If there is a rule could the fans reps take this up?

[EH54]

Hardly ever miss a Hibs game at ibrox But on this occasion I'm going nowhere near the place and probably will never go back.

[EH54]

@.Sean. (http://www.hibs.net/member.php?19270-Sean)

I always thought it was 5% however Celtic and Rangers have got away with giving us and everyone else very limited amount of tickets every time so I doubt there is one.

5% rings a bell.

I reckon we could easily take 1500 for this. If there is a rule allowing us to ask for more then I really hope our club look to help out all those wanting a ticket, no reason why they shouldn't.

You have never seen us sell out the away end at Ibrox or Parkhead??

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Because of the rivalry over the last couple of years people think we should either demand more tickets or cut there allocation at ER? Behave

Let's consistently sell out our home games, consistently sell out away games then start asking questions like that. I'm just gutted our first game vs them is at Ibrox and not ER as i was hoping to go. I'll never set foot in Ibrox for a Rangers vs Hibs game i don't think

They're so stupid though - remember they said they'd boycott all the clubs that refused top flight registration? they've come to ER in their droves since that....

[Juice-Terry]

I don't think there is a rule about away ticket allocation in place in the league. In the cup, yes (10%), but not in the league - as far as I'm aware.

[Lancs Harp]

Im not sure what we have and havent sold at Ibrox in the past is that relevant, our club is a totally different proposition now, Hibs post May 2016 riding the crest of a wave.

:flag:

[Juice-Terry]

Or, if you like, the rule is that each club can decide the number of away tickets available - including not giving away fans any tickets at all.

[SChibs]

It's more than that in the Scottish cup, not sure about the league cup though

Not a dig or anything but when was the last time you were at Ibrox?

I can remember us selling Ibrox out numerous times but I cannot think of the last time we were even close to selling out at Celtic Park.

Possibly under Mowbray when we won 1-3, O'connor, Sproule and Brown the scorers. Its funny reading about the ticket scramble for this game because under Calderwood we went through to Ibrox, won 0-3 but we only sold between 250-300 tickets that night.

Most of the games I've attended at Ibrox we've had roughly 5-600.

It seems there was more demand in the couple of seasons we played them in the Championship but I think we should wait and see how many we get on a regular basis before demanding more.
