Sevco dot count

[BegbieHSC]

Let’s put yesterday behind us, and gear up for those bigoted ****bags in 5 days time. A win over those ****s would bring the feel good factor right back.

Apart from the South East and South West corner, only really single tickets left in the FF lower.

Mon Hibees - lets sell this out, and get right behind the team.

I’m not sure you can buy these single tickets for the FF lower without buying a child’s one too.

Ticket sales look very healthy, must be less than 100 left in total!

I doubt that's accurate.

It's live on BT so it will be around 15k again.

We have 14k season ticket holders so will probably be announced as 18k odd

Just a reminder that, if you can't make it, then you can release your seats for this game. I'm sure there'll be plenty of people desperate for a ticket that'll really appreciate your gesture and the club will benefit from extra income.

Edit: I obviously did my count a few seconds before HC, and two seats were sold between

How do release my ticket?

You can call the Ticket Office tomorrow or, once all home tickets are sold, you'll be able to do it online

The latter option should be open fairly soon, I'd imagine





Sorry, I forgot it was Sunday

Full house and a big game. Let's have a good performance on and off the pitch, Hibees: no bottles or coins. :aok:

[hfc-1875]

Bit of a daft question but I rarely buy tickets online but just done so for the game. I never seen an option for delivery or to pick up tickets at TO and paid for them before I realised. There was no other fees just the £30 for the ticket so I’m guessing it’s automatically set it to collect them at TO? Tried signing back on and looking but can’t see anywhere it says what option I clicked on.

I'm not sure what the default option is but I'd guess it must be print at home if they've not charged for postage. Did you get an email with a pdf attachment?

[Hibernia&Alba]

So how come this game is sold out, when we had several thousand unsold for the Celtic cup tie? In terms of our season, the Celtic game was bigger.

Because 14000 season tickets are valid at no extra expense. Makes sense to me

It’s not rocket science. Season tickets so no additional outlay for the vast majority

True, of course that's a huge factor. I'm just disappointed we didn't get more for Saturday and would like to think the vast majority of those who are committed enough to buy an ST would be there for a cup quarter final against the holders.

[Zondervan]

I’ve just put 2 tickets up for sale via the ticket exchange. First time I have used it, pretty simple to use as well.

Its the difference between shelling out 25 quid or not shelling it out. The weather, kick off time, the fact we would probably get beat and the game being on the telly would have killed the walk up sales as well.

I think you're right, there's different rules for the FF lower as per the statement yesterday.

Hopefully, Hecky has realized after Celtic that sitting back respecting the ugly sisters is not how we do things at ER. Getting stuck right into them in front of a packed easter road under the floodlights is what it's all about.

You should see some of the anti-board nonsense on twitter. It's sad that these people have the energy to keep up such a high level of hatred for people they don't know, due to assumptions they make with their group of friends about matters that no one outwith the board is privy to.

[Ringothedog]

Our end holds 16500 and we have 14000 season tickets, I will go with your guess that 2500 season ticket holders will not turn up, that gives us 11500 plus the 2500 tickets we have sold, this takes us back to 14000 plus any ticket resales which could be about 200. That gives a total of attendees of 14200 plus 4000 orcs. That’s a total of at least 18200 which is substantially higher than Saturday.

Worse so that they turned off concession tickets ‘because it was nearing a sell out’ resulting in you needing to call or visit the ticket office if you want a concession ticket.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Whatever the turn out there will be more Hibs fans in the stadium than there was on Saturday …. From that POV lets hope they get behind the team from the beginning and give it far better support than they did on Saturday.

Having said that ….. If the manager sends the team out to give us a repeat of the rabbit in the headlights performance he did against Celtic I for one will be very, very, annoyed. Our last two managers have proved that getting into the buggers faces and making a game of it can be a far more fruitful approach than having 10 men behind the ball for 90 minutes. Lets hope Mr Heckingbottom has learned his lesson from Saturday.

There was nothing wrong with the tactics on Saturday we just didn't execute them well enough in an attacking sense.

[sauzee6_2]

Just out of interest do we charge away fans more than home support?

No

[danhibees1875]

Just out of interest do we charge away fans more than home support?

You're not allowed to charge more/less for comparable seats.

So south and famous five would have to be the same, I'm not sure if we could in theory charge more/less for east/west.

[NAE NOOKIE]

There was nothing wrong with the tactics on Saturday we just didn't execute them well enough in an attacking sense.

I cant agree, we gave Celtic far too much time on the ball and though I agree we defended pretty well, especially in the first half, the tactics severely limited our ability to attack. At one point after the 2nd goal Celtic won a corner and Hibs didn't leave a single player up the park, that's not the approach I want to see with my club 2 - 0 down and desperate for a goal.

I suppose with season ticket holders able to participate in the ticket exchange the tickets sold “attendance" could exceed ground capacity? I think the highest attendance in the new stadium has been 20,200 - my prediction for Friday is around 19,900?

Yep. Can’t argue with that. I was all for us only giving them half last time as I would rather every Hibby that wants to go, got to. But it looks like that’s going to be possible without having any Hibs fans in the south. So let’s take their cash and beat them in front of 3800 of them.

I'm glad you don't make the business decisions for Hibs.

That's an expensive, if enjoyable, giruy gesture.

How would it cost us 100k? Who are we paying 100k to?

[danhibees1875]

How would it cost us 100k? Who are we paying 100k to?

I think that's an estimated combination of lost ticket sales revenue and additional policing requirements. (EDIT: actually there might not be additional requirements if there are no Hibs fans in the South)

It's probably not quite 100k, but it's not far off (maybe £75k). Given we can't sell our tickets there is nothing financially to be gained, so cutting their allocation 4 times a season would cost us 2/3 players wages each year. If that's worth it probably depends on the players in question. :greengrin

I think everyone can agree we would rather see as little OF fans as possible in Easter Road, but having them there is a more logical decision than having empty seats.

[Brooster]

given theres 159 tickets left the day before the game the board made the right choice in terms of maximising revenue by giving them the full stand. No doubt that will cover some of the cost of the new CCTV.

I have to agree. The board have got this one spot on.

[Sean1875]

How would it cost us 100k? Who are we paying 100k to?

Opportunity cost. Board have definitely got this one right - will be even more pleasing with more of them being in the ground when we sink them :aok:

[Gloucester Hibs]

I’d have liked to have seen the experiment carried through to the end of the season, as it stands with reduced OF allocation it’s played 3 lost zero. I can totally see from a financial viewpoint why it’s been done though, too big a hit to absorb if we’re not close to selling out our part of the south.

Unfortunately we've not been good enough this season. If we had been in the mix for 2nd and the demand been there we wouldn't have given the orks the full stand. As it is we're still selling seats in the other 3 stands on the eve of the game. The board have got it spot on.

The numbers will be going up and down all week, as people are releasing their ST seats, which then suddenly appear as available.

As some seats will have been paid for twice, and the club count tickets sold, not actual attendance, it's entirely possible our ''attendance' on Friday will be higher than our actual capacity

:wink:

[The Modfather]

It’s odd that the posters who are all over every ticket and attendance thread, usually complaining about empty seats and “excuses”, are ominously absent on this thread talking about a sellout. Almost as if they revel in negativity.

[Hibbyradge]

How would it cost us 100k? Who are we paying 100k to?

Seriously?

[007 Mickey Weir]

I think we get about £100k if the whole stand is sold out. So if we reduce there allocation we would lose a large chunk of that.

Eh? You’ve answered your own question.

They’re no here moaning about empty seats coz it’s a sellout.

Pretty obvious really.

Your the negative, that's what everyone wants- the stadium full whenever possible. It's great it's happening this week to show the new manager & new players what ER can be like. This is exactly what forums are for- to discuss the best ways to fill the stadium. Anyway, C'mon Hibs!!!

[monktonharp]

Only 46 left in the ff lower yet on Friday night it will be half empty as usualif me and my granddaughter go, it will be more than half full:wink:

[monktonharp]

The board should be ashamed of themselves or this sells out a few days beforehand and they’ve got a stand full of HunsI thought you were happy to give it all up to Celtic?

Great effort. ER should be buzzing tonight.

Agree should be great and lets see an amazing performance. Time to back the team and the club and dump the negative chat weighing us down.

[Hibbyradge]

If there are 4000 seats in the South Stand, Hibs receive £120k if we sell them all.

If we restricted the Rangers to 900 seats as is being suggested, we'd get £27k and we, and the ground, would look ridiculous.

Two games against them a year would pay a player £2k a week for 2 years.

Missing out on that for spite wouldn't be a bright move.

Well probably average around £25 a ticket, so around £100,000 less VAT for a full stand

[Hibbyradge]

I thought it was £30 a ticket, no concessions.

Edit: It is £30 for adults, but there are concessions.

We'd reclaim the VAT, no,?

I’m sure there will be a few concessions. Maybe an age of nearer £27 then!
We deduct and payback the VAT.

[Big_Franck]

I'd have been in favour of just giving the huns around half the south stand, even if we didn't sell tickets in that end ourselves. The loss in revenue would be around 0.5% of our turnover, so well worth it IMO.

It will be interesting to see if there are moments in the game where their players respond to the vocal backing of nearly 4,000 drunken weegies. The last game against them there was barely a peep out of their end all game and that undoubtedly helped us.

The same people who complain about this sensible decision by the club will also moan about Hibs missing out on ‘x’ player while failing to see the obvious.

Given our recent record in the transfer window we would probably miss out on them regardless.

[budboy38]

I want to upgrade my seat to executive, can I do this online or am I better going into the ticket office to do this?

Ticket office, give them a phone, might be able to to that way rather than going down to queue up and do it.

Stupendous point.

No point raising any money, really.

Free tickets for all. :woohoo:

Edit: What's our recent transfer record like, again?

Which recent targets have we definitely missed out on?

[JeMeSouviens]

Great effort. ER should be buzzing tonight.

We've been ticket exchanging this week, so we've actually sold something like a couple of hundred seats twice.

[Hibernian Verse]

This should be good...

I've yet to see someone with that POV actually come up with the goods.

Mon noo Wearehibs, let us hear it.

You should give Hibs a miss. You don't seem to enjoy it. Its not healthy for you to be so negative about stuff.

Just released adult and child for ff lower

This discussion IMO simply hinges on our own fans. Show there's a demand and Hibs will no doubt quite happily cut the allocation for both arse cheeks, but this season it's been quite clear that even folk with season tickets have been failing to show up, as witness the hundreds of empty seats at home games which STs have been sold for. As for the FF lower, practically every seat blocked off on the ticket site all season and yet nearly half empty at practically every home game. Folk can trot out every 'reason' they want for that, but the truth is lots of folk have simply decided to give ER a miss on Saturdays because we are having an average season compared to recent years.

It will be interesting to see if our support, which will outnumber the Orcs by 4 to 1, can make that numerical superiority count. That's the same ratio as it is every time we play Hertz at Easter Road and we outnoise them every time.

Hibs set a precedent last season when we cut the Sevco allocation, that means their allocation is now open to review every time we play them and it will never again be set in stone that they get a full stand. If Hibs fans step up they wont, if we don't they will. Lately we haven't been and the club have correctly made a decision to maximise income from the game. Folk seem to forget that as custodians of the club the board have a legal responsibility to do what's best for it financially, turning down a relatively large sum of money to please a fan base who aren't holding up our side of the bargain would leave them open to accusations of failing to run the club properly and neglecting their duty as a board in a business sense.

If folk are looking for a compromise which will please both sides here it is:

Hibs promise that the money generated from the sale of 1,700 seats to the uglies which wont now be set aside for us in the south will be ring fenced and used to install rail seats in the FF lower the season after next. So long as we make the top 6 this season and next that's around 6 x 1,700 x £25 which equals £255,000 … more than enough to cover 2000 rail seats :greengrin

Exactly.

There’s not a club in the world that gets every first choice player they want. But we got Mallan, Kamberi, Maclaren, Horgan, and possibly Milligan.

If thats the case why bother playing at Ibrox at all in future. There are 49,000 drunken weegies there so just give them the 3 points if their fans give them so much advantage. Score first and there wont be a peep out of them tonight. Also why give them any tickets at all if their support gives them that much advantage

Plus last time they came they were 100% up for it despite to smaller allocation. We got lucky because Morelos forgot his shooting boots, nothing to do with the allocation.

If we can sell the seats to Hibs fans I'd 100% reduce their allocation but if they're going to sit empty I'd rather have the cash to spend on our club. We've still got three stand worth of supporters who can cheer our team to victory.
