Season Ticket Sales Update?

[BlackSheep]

Now that the transfer window has 'slammed' shut and we know our squad (til January) I am hoping that the Ticket Office give us an update on the ST sales.....

Does anyone know where we are at with this?

12,959 according to leanne on Twitter

I hope we can shift another 41.

Half seasons will take it well over 13k

Shouldn't we just round that up in true yam style to 20,000?

That is superb. Someone told me the yams had sold about 13,500 which is about the same as last year which is a good effort I suppose but our increase is exceptional. We probably have good financial resources to really strengthen the squad in the new year if we have to.

You could ask Dashing Bob to buy another 41 kids tickets in the FF Lower. I think he's doing it to pick up a packet on the black market from Cup Final tickets...

Absolutely fantastic effort. Great effort by the fans.

[Souter96Mac]

Great effort, hopefully with a good season we can push onto 14000 with half seasons to really bring us home at the end of the season. Great stuff. Hope the club continues its ambitious nature as the support is there

Does anyone have any idea how much income this generates for the club?

That is brilliant.
Calling it 13,000

Why don't the club take a leap of faith and reduce season tickets and maybe we might even get more. Just a slight drop might me enough. Aim high

[BlackSheep]

I have been mulling over buying a ST for my daughter, but now that some games have been sold when the TO put every home match on sale last month, the seat that I wanted is no longer available as some matches have already been snapped up for the Cat A games....

I don't mind that these games are unavailable as I wouldn't be bringing her very often but its an investment and I would upgrade the ticket regularly to an Adult for any friends wishing to come along casually.

Would the TO sell this seat now that its been 'bought' for some games... and if so, would they offer it at a reduced rate?

We've sold 1,500 more season tickets this year than our previous highest ever - would seem the clubs current scheme is working fairly well

It would be worth asking them. I think thst someone made a mistake by allowing all of these games to go on sale before the season ticket window closed.

I'm presuming he means take off the cost of the previous home games and continue to offer them?

[Sean1875]

Ah okay yeah in fairness that makes sense - only issue with that is people may get annoyed at tickets being reduced in price following 'less desireable' games against Partick and Hamilton with folk paying more from the start of the season.

Lots. 😜

[ancient hibee]

Around £4million?

[CMurdoch]

We are 2 home games into the season.
Would like Leanne to announce a wee special selling 39 season tickets for £333 each
Switherers would go for them and the club would get another £13,000 whilst hitting the magic 13,000 season ticket sales.
Beautiful :flag:

That's a terrible idea. Devalues everyone else's ticket

[CMurdoch]

Most of us paid £360 for our season tickets and have used them for 2 matches already so not seeing how a £27 reduction on that price for a small number of new buyers, to take us up to 13,000 sales, would devalue our original purchases.

Not without knowing the breakdown of kids/student/OAP tickets in the mix.

But for the sake of making stuff up, let's call it £250 for the average ST - that'd be c. £3.25m.

[Postman]

As a current season ticket holder I would be happy for the club to reduce the price of the £360 tickets by £20 per game as they pass if it keeps the numbers ticking along.

Can't have any complaints about that. I thought at this stage new ST members would be hard to come by, but to keep increasing and to be close to breaking the 13,000 mark has pleasantly surprised me.

[Pete]

No need to reduce anything or change it. If we're looking good in the top six by Christmas I'm sure half seasons will fly off the shelves.

I know a lot is made of symbolic numbers and targets but it's a good haul regardless. Big war chest, a good team and a great atmosphere in the ground = good times ahead. :thumbsup:

Minus VAT so knock another 550k off that.

How many seats at ER are for hospitality?

[connerg]

How many seats at ER are for hospitality?

Approx. 1100

[Billy Whizz]

How many seats at ER are for hospitality?

Too many, usually loads empty at most games

[Carheenlea]

Even when hospitality is completely sold out there are always loads of spare seats. I suppose the complimentary tickets for guests etc are all in there, but they would have access to a lounge of some description, so does look like there are too many. Only an issue for sold out games really, so probably nice to be able to have plenty of room for guests of the club and hospitality patrons rather than squeezing in cheek to jowl like they had to do at Tynecastle.

Make that 40.

I doubt I will make any games but it feels good to be a Hibernian FC season ticket member.

[lord bunberry]

[Bob Box Fish]

Do the official numbers include the kicks for kids initiative?
