Nice. Some effort so far.

As mentioned on another thread, I was delighted to get one for my 7 year old daughter when the 2 seats next to me and my dad went on general sale for the first time since the West was built. I have today bit the bullet and bought the other seat for my 5 year old. Will be a bit different going to matches now but looking forward to it.

Great stuff to be at 12,500 sales.

Once UEFA draw kicks in ( I know these matches won't be on the season ticket but I expect Season Ticket holders to get first dibs on buying their seat), next season's fixtures are released, and transfer activity starts I expect us to comfortably pass last years figure.

Great days to be a Hibby.

Incredible turnaround in the clubs fortunes due to One Day in May.

Have a good feeling about the impact this will have on the financial support Lennon will get from the Board, and for the coming season.

This is bound to drive further demand

Remember how tough it was to get a Good seat (if any seat at all) in the second half of the season, well that’s what it’s going to be like from now on

If you can afford one, get yourself a season ticket. You won’t regret it

What is the limit we can sell just out of interest?

I can never understand why people have to wait on a signing before committing to a season ticket. Surely if you are interested and capable of getting a season ticket you do not have to wait on signings. Particularly nowadays when the choice of seats is limited.

We can sell around 1,000 more than our friends at the Pink Bus Shelter (unless they cram them into the redesigned Police Control Box).

Hibs broke through the 12,000 season ticket barrier for the first time ever around mid July 2017.

Probably just over 16000 I would have thought unless we start selling season tickets in the south stand.

Me neither but its true though . Announce Kamberi and Allan and last seasons ticket numbers are smashed

looking good so far guys, i think the good season we had there will hopefully get folk that havent had a season ticket in a while back again, the fact that we are ahead on last years numbers from the same time is very encouraging, well done everyone :aok:

Looks like we are massively ahead on last years numbers. Getting tickets for big games is going to be difficult without a season ticket.

Me and 3 others still to renew. Student loan day tomorrow so there will definitely be one more on the total!

Suzy will buy about 200 for Kick for Kids charity.
Probably sell 500 in the last week to the usual late dudes
New students and residents to Edinburgh will have seen our wonderful football last season and will want a piece of the action.

Hibs can certainly sell category B season tickets in the South.

Category B season tickets could be a great idea in the South stand as most of these games other than midweek will be a Saturday 3pm kick off. A lot of people hate when the Celtic, Rangers and Hearts games are swapped mostly to Sunday 12.30 kick offs. The only problem with this season ticket is the end of season split which throws up odd games. This ticket could be sold on the strength of either 12 or 13 home games with the added bonus of first dibs on the games against Hearts.

If we do sell season tickets in the south stand, it should be for every game except Hearts.

With those numbers at this stage and looking at last seasons figures , Im thinking 14500 will be the figure. Would have thought that the board will be targeting that figure

Final tally should be 13,723.

Hearts will down this year to 398,637 as the fanbase who remember active service in the war forget to renew and instead froth at the mouth, masturbate and gouge each other with sharp objects while singing 'Hearts Glorious Hearts' in Hector Nicolesque adenoidal tones in those west Edinburgh care homes.

Apart from section 45 the east is not miles away from selling out considering it’s only early June.

Hibby70
07-06-2018, 06:53 PM
So we had 2000 tickets available online on 3/6 and an estimate of 12,000 sold. So reckon there's just less than 1500 available now. We should be able to track this now (if anyone can be arsed)

The west is similar with section 1 and 10 the only ones that have loads of available seats.

These 3 sections (1, 10 and 45) are the only ones in the ground with loads and loads of seats available for new season ticket holders.
That said there are still loads of good seats available including a large number in the Singing Section

As expected, Hibs have capped the number of KfK tickets available to me/us at 150, and then 50 for those who purchase them directly from the Club :aok:

A best case scenario window, with McGinn, McGeouch, Allan, Barker, Kamberi staying on, with one or two sensible signings like Mallan and a superstar signing like Hooper(albeit unlikely) - would 15,000 season tickets be a possibility?

If so, 20,250 really doesn't cut it.

P.S. I know im fantasising with this...

If that all happens we'll need to build another tier on all of our stands as well as filling in the corners.

And it took until 22 July to reach that target! Wonder how quickly we sold 10k this season...

Quite frightening the progress the hibee family has made in season ticket sales in a short time it makes me so proud to be a hibby at this moment in time I feel like a kid waiting for the next game to attend just cannot wait for both European draw to be made and spfl fixtures to come out I have already got two new season ticket holders coming along with me and my wife for the new season let's smash the record for season ticket sales Ggtth :flag:

I wish we would get regular updates like we did before, it was quite exciting to see what the number of the next announcement would be (and I guess that it would make people think about a ST to purchase quicker before to get a better seat).

Fingers crossed we can do 14k this year

A lot of top drawer seats would be up for grabs if we sold ST’s in South, and sales initially would be pretty brisk as a result. I think this would be a springboard towards breaking our ST numbers quite considerably.

Would it? :confused:

Surely there aren't that many people sitting there unsure on buying a ST who would be brought in by the lure of the South stand?

It's similar to the logic that signing Mallan/Kamberi/Hooper would suddenly see a couple of extra 1000 ST holders - I just don't get it. The quality additions should result in more wins which would in turn generate more PATG punters, but I just can't see that translating immediately into extra ST holders.

That would include selling all Executive Seats as well which, given how much they cost, seems unlikely.


Anyway, I personally think we'll sell between 13.5k and 14k, so walk ups won't be an issue.
