Any ideas when they go on sale, I heard that pleb Scott Wilson saying that their's go on sale on Tuesday.

Under the completion rules we are allowed the full Roseburn, let's hope the club are proactive in 'securing' this, i.e. no TV box there.

We're entitled to 20% but I don't think there's anything that says all the seats need to have an unrestricted view.

We will get the full Roseburn stand, it's up to Hibs if we want to accept tickets which have a restricted view.

I take it there's a good bit leeway with the 20% stuff? Hertz seem adamant there capacity is or will be around 20,100. 20% of that is 4200 however I think the Roseburn only holds around 3300 now. Take away the seats they can't sell due to the Sky Sports studio and the 2/3 rows of seats directly behind the goal you'll be looking at nearer 3000. Well short of the supposed 20% we're entitled too.

PS to the OP they started selling their ticket about 2 weeks back. Can mind watching something on STV about the long queues they had as season tickets are guranteed a their seat unless they stump up a £100 donation to FoH.

Yeah the 20% rule could be higher or lower depending guidance from the police and whether they think it's safe. Clearly it wouldn't be safe for Hibs fans to sit in either the Wheatfield or the Main stand so it will be restricted to the Roseburn.

We had 3200 last night, the full stand is 3500/3600 I think so hopefully the club push for that

Did they not say they should be able to sort the studio issue for the cup game and get the riseburn stand back to its usual ****tyness without the need for restricted views?
Mind you if recent construction planning is anything to go by it’ll be ready for next seasons cup tie.

Why would supporters clubs get priority? Majority of fans are not members of supporters clubs so no priority should be given to them.

The singing guys were in front of me on Wednesday. Given the numbers, I suspect it was only those with away STs.

Im quite happy they get to sit together, they have a big bearing on the atmosphere.

If they win as a section, they lose as a section. Sounds perfectly fair that they get the opportunity to stick together and keep their noise together.

I've missed out on Tynie once before but I don't grudge these fellas one bit.

By the way. Away games? Read Hertz away. Not Motherwell, Dundee, Firhill etc, where these boys turn up,and bawl and shout regardless.

Not for replays. Dates will already have been agreed in conjunction with league games so it would be the following midweek after that.
Postponed ties are normally played the midweek after the original tie.

As much as online suits me I disagree it should be the only way as not all fans have internet access or know how to use the system. We do have the option of phoning for our older fans but I haven’t ever heard many people say they got tickets that way.

It would be a real shame if Hibs go down that route in my opinion it’s favouring more tech friendly fans. Internet only doesn’t work for everyone, that’s why internet banking hasn’t fully replaced branch banking etc. I’d much prefer a mix where people have option to do what they want to buy a ticket.

Hibs have already stated in the past they don't like the idea of fans queuing overnight in freezing and or wet conditions and they want sales togo online, Celtic and Rangers away was online only. The queue for the last derby was closed after barely 2 hours so whats the point? You can't hang onto old ways because of a few. You don't even need a computer to get online now. Branches of banks are closing left right and centre! Eventually they're will be very few left on the high street.

... whole thing has become a no win. Irrespective of how you sell the tickets someone loses out. We even have the precedent of people queuing 18 hours before a sale and getting tokens to come back the next day.

I have always supported a loyalty scheme, even though it would not guarantee me a ticket. Hope the club has continued demand in the coming years that means it has to be revisited

Old Young or middle age folk all seem to want to stand in a queue for tickets, it would seem there is just as much a demand to queue as there is for for folk taking the chance with the lottery that is the online system.

The argument put forward was that we should have a queue because so many 60/70 year olds don’t use the internet.
So unless you are saying that there is a disproportionately large number of people from that age group who queue you seem to be agreeing with me that is nonsense. :greengrin

Plenty pensioners have internet capability, and many don't. Neither my mum nor my mother-in-law (both late 70s) have ever sent a text, let alone used a computer. Having said that, neither would be queueing for tickets - they'd use the phone.

This has been mentioned before by a poster who suggested calling it attendance points. Much better name IMHO.

It would be a real shame if Hibs go down that route in my opinion it’s favouring more tech friendly fans. Internet only doesn’t work for everyone, that’s why internet banking hasn’t fully replaced branch banking etc. I’d much prefer a mix where people have option to do what they want to buy a ticket.

Internet or Phone is the only way tickets should be sold. Its not old people that are queuing up overnight.

I think it's fair to say that over 65s are, statistically speaking, less tech savvy than the younger generations.


Nobody's claiming that none of them can use a computer or smartphone but a reasonably high percentage aren't particularly comfortable with them.

Loyalty points for me is the best solution! Gives the guy who never misses a game the chance of getting first chance of a ticket. Also it would make it an incentive for more supporters to go to away games.

So are you saying that having people queuing overnight in Winter will mainly benefit older fans?
Or will it mainly benefit younger guys who live near the ground who know that standing outside ER for a night will basically guarantee them a ticket?

I'm sure I've read on here from the fans reps that from LD'd point of view, a loyalty scheme is dead in the water and it's either away season ticket or bust.

It also looks like Hearts are holding back seats in their main stand because that’s where the TV studio will be this time.

We already receive under 20% of the capacity so they can’t cut our allocation any further by putting obstacles in our way. It’s their crappy design so it looks like they have no choice but to suffer this time. Wonder how much they’ll try to knock off tickets for their own fans.

The queue for the last derby was closed after barely 2 hours so whats the point? You can't hang onto old ways because of a few. You don't even need a computer to get online now. Branches of banks are closing left right and centre! Eventually they're will be very few left on the high street.

Folk standing in a line = queuing, people were prepared to stay there for as long as it took. Nobody in the queue asked Hibs to hand out vouchers. So you reckon the folk who queued up are responsible for there being no more queuing, strange way of looking at it.

Different services are at different levels of moving towards a fully digital offering so your example is way off the mark. The majority of everyday household shopping is still done in supermarkets. Online is still a bit behind. The majority of banking transactions are now done online so branches are being closed. The vast majority of ticket purchases are now made online.

That's part of the Wimbledon tradition though and Wimbledon is all about tradition and doing things the way it's always been done. The organisers pride themselves on that.

The vast majority of ticket sales for Wimbledon are done via a paper ballot months in advance of the tournament. They then hold back so many tickets for Centre Court for each day's play and sell them on the day and people can queue to get those tickets.

The fact that Wimbledon is always played in the height of summer in the south east of England though makes the queuing up for tickets experience a wee bit different to the middle of January in Edinburgh.

Theres certainly no tradition at Hibs to camp out overnight for derby tickets, its currently -5 outside, if the weather doesn't improve would it be fair to ask people to queue in those conditions?

It did guarantee a ticket for those who got there in time. Great for people who live close to ER, not a realistic personal choice for many others. The club has done the right thing here in dumping it, times change and things move on.

Firstly, more fool them and second as SDG says thats a tradition kept going by the AETCA. Theres certainly no tradition at Hibs to camp out overnight for derby tickets, its currently -5 outside, if the weather doesn't improve would it be fair to ask people to queue in those conditions? Nobody should be having to queue up overnight in subzero temperatures!

I'm sorry you disagree but selling tickets online is the way forward, for all games, not just the big ones! Technology is improving all the time and the online tickets site will only get better and easier to negotiate.

Not that it effects me, but, how about fans that cannot afford computers, and older fans that dont understand "online". Queuing up is/was part of fitba now it seems some cant get hold of tickets because of the internet.
Oh although I think fans will be disadvantged I also think online IS the way forward.

But Hermit says that it should be online only to prevent queuing, yet your telling me that folk buying online have to queue, awe man this is so confusing.

These people have no need to queue before the game. They have plenty time to either print the ticket or just show it on their mobile device.

You could always get someone else to get it for you, just like the online system which allows you to get extra tickets for pals.

Or we could all have exactly the same chance of getting a ticket using today’s online technology. It not only fairer, it’s safer and cheaper. The more conservative Scottish fitba fans are just going to have to get used to the fact that times have changed.

No reason they can't do both, which is kojocks point. It's a shame those who don't have online accounts have to miss out.

So its only old people or those without a method of going online that queue up? Its not... very few old people in those queues, and the rest are putting their picture on snapchat. :greengrin

Kojock’s point is that he personally prefers to queue because he feels he has a better chance of getting a ticket rather then him being unable to get online.

Yep, never missed out on a ticket in over 50 odd years of queuing. The only matches I missed out were online sales only. I have no problem with online sales if there was a way to ensure that people who attend most away games get first dibs but for some reason that ship has sailed for Leeanne.

So far I have a 100% record of getting a ticket whether its by Q or Online.
