Have you bought West Upper Sect 13 HH 159?

[Hibernian Verse]

I initially posted this on the private board but Worcester Hibby suggested posting on here too!

If you have bought this seat or know the person that has can you please get in touch with me? PM me please and I'll pass on my phone number or email me FraserRMaltman@outlook.com.

I will buy the person a £50 club shop voucher as a thank you if they can swap seats with me - it means a lot to me and my family. The seat I have purchased in the meantime is RR166 which is in the same section almost directly in line with my seat.

Hibs are emailing the person, but thought this may be a better route.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Initial post:

"I renewed my season ticket in March. Except I apparently didn't as my Zebra finance never finalised when I thought it had done.

Hibs emailed me on 24/5 saying they were holding my ticket till the 1st June. I missed the email and now someone (I presume) has bought my ticket as it's unavailable to purchase. I have a huge issue with the fact they didn't phone me when it got to the 1st to check I wasn't renewing however I digress.

The seat is in the middle one of five. We are all family or close friends and have sat together in the same seats for 17 years without fail."

I'd remove your number, mate. Ask them to PM you instead.

Might be worth speaking with the club reps too

They could maybe help out

Although they would not be able to give you their contact details directly, would the ticket office be able to contact this person on your behalf with your offer?

Hope it works out for all parties

EDIT. Would help if I could read, I see hibs are emailing the person directly for you.

My issue now is that the TO weren't initially willing to do anything even when I explained that the ticket was in the middle of a 17 year strong group of 5, common sense didn't seem to apply so I've not convinced they will do the email any justice.

[The Green Goblin]

Good luck. Hope you get it sorted.

[Golden Bear]

It's tough luck on the person who purchased it in good faith. Section 13 is a great place to view the action and available seats would be few and far between.

[Hibby70]

I'm sure if you can't contact them beforehand a wee word on the opening home fixture would almost certainly work if they are reasonable.

I suppose the only problem would be if they've bought to be near someone else and they themselves are hoping for folk to move up one place.

[Hibby70]

Or maybe your family/friends have bought it themselves and don't really like you.

[Hibs Fraggle]

Or maybe your family/friends have bought it themselves and don't really like you.

Or maybe after the first home fixture the family/friends will decide they like the newcomer more?

[Hibernian Verse]

It's tough luck on the person who purchased it in good faith though. Section 13 is a great place to view the action from and available seats would be few and far between.

That's why I purchased the remaining seat in the section, which I suppose I luckily got. Means a straight swap is quite reasonable IMO.

Lots of sympathy for your situation but you have to give the TO a break. They are dealing with almost 13k ST holders right now and had 13.5k to consider up to 1June. Every ST holder knew that was the cut off point. The TO also sent out reminders so they cannot be expected to make a personal call as well. They do a brilliant job on behalf of the club and ticket holders.
Best of luck getting back to your seat, I imagine the current holder of the seat will be very reasonable when he or she hears the story. I certainly hope so.

Agree with this - can't really apportion any blame to the TO.

Whoever it is will swap I'm sure - even if it was literally at the first game of the season and they found themselves in the middle of your group - I know I would, if it was a ticket for the same section (at a reasonable distance, which it sounds like it is).

[Hermit Crab]

Thing is what do you do if there person point blank refuses to swap seats? They're under no obligation to do so.

Guy at my work bought two season tickets for Tynie there was a guy sitting in between him and his mate. Who was on his own they asked him to move one seat and he refused they thought it was wind up but it was not. The guy sat between them for 13 matches listening to their chat and sarky comments about him. After 13 games the guy never returned I don't know if he just moved. If further evidence of how weird Hearts fans are this must be it.

I hear he bought bought West Upper Sect 13 HH 159 at Easter Road this season

If one story makes you say "Typical Jambo", this is it!

[h185forever]

It might not matter but are you sure that’s the right number and section ?

Im in that section a few rows benhind you and I’m in seat 158 which is right on the staircase next to the posh seats. I would’ve thought all seats 158 in sectiion 13 would be on the staircase but I could be wrong.

Will be pretty awkward for said person sitting in among a group of guys who have been sitting together for years and they all no he said no to moving.

Hope you get it sorted amicably though.

I'm pretty curious as to why a seat bang in the middle of four season ticket holders would be attractive to a third party - if it was me I'd be looking for a seat with an empty next to it in the hope that it remained that way and so that a pal could maybe buy the odd ticket for it and sit next to me. Interesting.

You wouldn't know you were in the middle of a big group when you looked online, you'd assume they were different people. I think most of the good areas only have single seats left so to get what you want they'd need to go up into the corners - this isn't 2015 anymore. :wink:

Just a word of caution.
There is a chance the new "middle guy" is now sitting directly behind or in front of a group he plans on going with, so he might not want to move.

Office manager got in touch today to say they're still working on it and another seat nearby has come up nearby that they have offered to the gent.

Re: JuniperGreen. It's possible as there are a couple of older guys that sit behind me.

I've got to be honest and say I'm not sure how much I really want this situation to be resolved. It's better than any soap opera.

Any chance the OP can keep us briefed during the season should his hoped for transfer not work out?
