If anyone fancies a joyous sight, have a look over at the dot-count for our season tickets.

It's absolute joy to behold! Looking like we might hit 13k by the time we play Partick.

Feel like the feel-good factor is well and truly back, after waning a bit at the start of the transfer window.

Definitely, the change from a couple of weeks ago when folk were panicking about signings is night and day - can definitely see a boost in ST sales, and even more so if/when Stokesy signs! Very exciting time to be a Hibee :aok:

Signing Players from the likes of Juve shows our ambition for the season ahead and hopefully getting Stokesy through the door plus maybe a couple more can surely only increase season ticket sales.

Surely if someone just buys a ticket for say the Partick game or the Derby, then that seat can't be bought as a season ticket anymore?

Yes, that's correct. I've bought tix for the midweek derby and Huns games and those seats don't show on the ST planner.

You are right, hundreds sold since I last looked about a week ago. Definitely thibk we will hit 13k now!

Does anyone know if the kicks for kids season tickets have been purchased yet?

Edit; just noticed above post. This will have had an effect for sure. Excitement over!!

Seems like a bit of a mistake selling all home games tickets this early..... If some seats have only been purchased for a handful of games and are now unavailable as STs... definitely will put some folk off buying a ST.

I think very few season tickets will be sold from now. The next bump will be Christmas with half season tickets.

Unless we decide to put a load of Cat B tickets for sale in the away stand. In this way people could still buy a season ticket AND tickets for the derby etc in the home stands

Folk have had months to get season tickets and the club obviously now don't anticipate that we are going to sell many more. Putting tickets on sale in advance will allow people who are travelling here for a game to plan ahead.

Excuse me for bringing down the feelgood attitude on this thread but that's got to be nuts.

I understand the majority of people who intend to buy a season ticket will now already have one but selling tickets for one off games which are three or four months in advance, therefore making that particular seat unavailable to any other prospective season ticket purchasers is not a good financial plan in my opinion.

You are correct if those seats did ultimately end up sold as a ST. However, if not then getting tickets sold in advance is good revenue for the club. If demand remains high they will be made available as half season tickets.

They're selling tickets for home games right up until March so presumably any tickets sold for these matches would mean that half season tickets couldn't be sold for these seats either.

They can still sell as a season ticket seat, the season ticket purchaser will just get a different seat for that game.

The benefit to the club of STs comes from getting cash early - discounting the match cost for ST purchasers is therefore a win-win for fans and club.

However, STs that are sold late on do not give the club as much, or possibly any, benefit. Could well make more financial sense if these seats are not discounted.

It could be a better option to approach the original seat purchaser and kindly ask them to move. Some kind of gesture like £5 off another match might encourage them to move, and encourage them to attend another game.

How is it decided what seat they will be allocated for that one match and is the person told at the point of purchase that they won't be able to sit in their chosen seat for the whole season?

I'm not sure I would be happy if I bought a season ticket before the start of the season and got told that I had to sit in an inferior seat for a big game, just because someone has bought a ticket for that one match months in advance.

They'd tell you up front and you can presumably pick an alternative seat.

Unless you're like a five year old, I'm sure you'd get over it.

I'd like to think that's how it would work.

I think it would be logical to assume that if you buy a certain season ticket seat, you'll have that seat for the full season. There could be issues if two people turn up to sit in the same seat without any prior warning.

That's the point that was made earlier.

If someone has bought a ticket for the Partick game then that seat won't be available to purchase as a season ticket.

I think the club have got this right.

Non ST holders can in effect purchase the same seat for as many games as they like through to the end of the season, that's got to be a positive thing.

If you still want a ST then pick from the seats that are available, if you don't like any of them then simply buy individual tickets for the seat you do want for the games you want to see.

Club gets cash up front and everyone gets the seat they want.

Then how do you book a seat for a Season Ticket that's already been sold for an individual game? When you go online, these seats aren't available for sale in the ST section.


This is a genuine question as I'm looking to buy a Season Ticket next to my Dad but it's now blocked out, as it's sold for the Partick game.

In fact, it's not easy to tell if seats are unavailable because they've been sold as Season Tickets or if just for one match (so potentially available as STs).

If you go into the ticket office you will be able to buy the seat next to your dad as a ST but tou won't be able to use it for the Patrick game if it's already been sold, or any others that may have already been sold.

Alternatively just buy that seat for every other game up to the end of the season if you like.

I did the same for my dad last year and managed to get him the ST this year in that seat.

Ticket office will see you alright :)

Yeah, this has happened to me. There was a problem buying my seat first time round, and it for some reason locked the seat so no-one could purchase it. Was told they'd ring me/email me when it was released when I tried to repurchase it a couple of times. Never heard anything though, and when I eventually managed to buy my ST they had already sold the seat for 3 of the games this season. Pretty annoying.

That's all well and good but one of the advantages of buying a season ticket is you can sit in the same seat every home game.

It's a tricky situation for Hibs, do they turn fan's away in the hope someone buys a s/t for that seat (not your seat) or do they take the cash.

Not because I wanted to be an arse but because I knew I had the right to sit in that seat but wouldn't know the situation in any other.

There is probably a good reason why they purchased that specific seat also

I'm sure you wouldn't be alone in having this approach but both people have a legitimate claim to sit in that seat so someone would need to have the casting vote on who sits where.

If Hibs decide that it's the season ticket holder who needs to move for that one match then I'm not sure you would be able to do as you suggest, even although I totally sympathise with that approach.

Get there early sit in your ST seat, when they arrive show them your ST card explain the issue and give them the other tickets, problem solved and you're next to your brother with no hassle.....perfect. If they object you're stuffed. It's just an idea,I'm not suggesting being aggressive over it.

Pretty sure you could come to arrangement if the seats are close and you want to sit next to relative etc. I'm not suggesting being aggressive with the other ticket holder. Just get there early and explain when they arrive, giving them the other seat tickets. I would happily oblige in such a situation for a ST holder.

Tthere's a lot of bored people on this thread making up all kinds of scenarios for what reason I don't know, it's not difficult. Both people DO NOT have a claim to the seat, the person buying the season ticket will have been explained the circunstances for the games where tickets have been sold for that game.

The only person entitled to sit in that seat is the person who bought the ticket first.Going up to or sitting in that persons seat beforehand will only end up making the season ticket holder looking a bit silly.

So one person purchases a one off ticket for a seat for a single match and another person purchases a season ticket for the same seat for the entire season and you don't think they both have a claim on that seat?

If it's explained to you before you purchase your season ticket that you will have to move seats for a certain amount of games due to that seat already being taken by a walk up fan and you still decide to buy your season ticket there then that's fair enough. I don't think anyone actually knows for certain though.

If a seat has been sold for the Partick game then it won't be available to buy as a ST therefore there won't be two people trying to sit in the same seat.

What am I missing here?

You're not missing anything, no one has suggested that two people have claim to the same seat. Just discussing how a ST holder might ask to swap seats and sit there. There no problem just hypothetical.

So one person purchases a one off ticket for a seat for a single match and another person purchases a season ticket for the same seat for the entire season and you don't think they both have a claim on that seat?

:confused: How can that happen?

The seat in question was a s/t seat the season before and that person tried to renew but the e-ticketing system let him down.

When he did manage to renew he was told Hibs had sold tickets for 3 games. He's been issued with paper tickets for those games but not next to his brother.

Ah, thanks. Couldn't get my head around it at all. Nice one.

No problem. The s/t holder is called SRH. Location is Newcastle/Gateshead. Some journey to make and not be able to sit in your own seat.

But it's not your seat if it's been sold to another fan for that game. If you've bought your ST late then you will not be guaranteed the same seat for every game if it's been sold prior to you buying a ST

They should make the ST available, but state that the seat will not be available for certain games and have a discounted price based on how many games are unavailable.

In my case the club was going to contact me when they released the seat (after a problem when I attempted to purchase initially), either by email or phone. They did neither and just sold it. Not the end of the world but poor customer service.

I hear what you're saying but he did contact the ticket office telling them he was having problems renewing online.

The ticket office said they'll look into it and get back to him but they never. Think he feels a wee bit let down.

Folk have had months to get season tickets and the club obviously now don't anticipate that we are going to sell many more. Putting tickets on sale in advance will allow people who are travelling here for a game to plan ahead.since when was this considered? for years we have heard of many Hibs fans organising their travel arrangements only to be told a week before that the date or time was changed. I still have to get my ST btw, and will just need to see whats available but no complaint with that.I don't agree that the club are obviously sure that the STs are all but done, either

First time ever we've had this dilemma which just shows how far we've come as a club. Still a way to go but no doubt the feel good factor is there.

I've got an ST and miss a few games if I'm stuck in London. If I can't get up to Edinburgh then I'll definitely be releasing my seat in the East so walk ups can buy a ticket for that seat. That way we get more revenue for Hibs and more fans in stadium. I think all ST holders should be encouraged to make a quick and simple phone call to ticket office if they can't make games.
