Disappointed that the board seem to have focussed on putting kids prices up. For many supporters than is a double hit as we take both kids. Another 20 quid for me and my lad will start playing Saturday football so will have to pay a tenner more for him to come to the odd game. Is there a strategy to get more kids supporting the club.

£135 to £195 - that’s a considerable increase.

I’d argue that £135 was bordering on too good of a value in the first place, but to go up that steeply in one season isn’t on.

So the Famous Five lower won't have the seat release till the 7th of June by which point the early bird will have past so it could be fairly empty next season.

They should have kept the early bird prices for that section till the season started as people can't buy seats for it till the seat release.

Hibs were ridiculously cheap for students before. The increase will stick us inline with other clubs our level like Hearts and Aberdeen. A payment plan will cost £17.70 a month, very manageable and decent value IMO.

Never paid a student price but I do empathise with their point about how sharp an increase it is. Why couldn't they have spread it over two seasons? £135 this season, £165 the next and £195 the season after. Would still be something compared to just whacking it up £60. That's like a 45% increase!

The FF Lower has so much demand that Hibs reckon they can cope - and it almost always looks empty anyways, even with the seats virtually sold out, so I'm not sure anyone would notice the difference.

Some of our group 5 Adults 3 Children ain't renewing at increases over last year of £90 per adult and £60 for a child.

This section will be empty next season as no one will pay that price. And don't come on here and say that we should pay more for the privilege of a decent seat. Why don't they just charge us for a replacement new plastic seat (£40) and get rid of the leather seats completely.

Our group also contains 4 pensioners so where in the stadium are they going to fit us in.

It’s a strange one, keep hearing kids are the future of the club but they put their prices up again.

I’m in the same position, both kids play footy so there’s inevitably a few clashes with Sunday games or training so will have to make a decision for next season.

I agree that nobody will pay that price to sit behind the goal and it could well lead to that section being empty and people giving up their season tickets so it's very short-sighted.

It is a big jump but still works out at under a tenner a game.

They’re going to suffer some losses with these increases, but with the likes of the student prices, it would appear that they were far too low in the first place.

That is daft.
£175 for students would have been reasonable for early bird then £200 after that.

Famous Five Lower should have been changed to Category B season tickets with unreserved seating.
Price could have stayed the same for kids with the first option to buy their seat for Category A games for £5.
That would result in very few unused seats at Cat A games.
Unreserved seating would also allow Family walk ups to be accommodated in the FFL at Cat B games. This would help fill the unused seats in the FFL.
Is there a flaw in this?

I don’t understand why they need to change anything with pricing.

It’s the most season ticket holders we’ve had for years and everyone that wants a ticket for a game can still get one, especially if they get this ticket exchange up and running regularly.

Situation in the Famous Five Lower isn’t ideal but so what, having a cheap kids season ticket might allow people to take kids to games they wouldn’t normally be able to do.

My point is that the “poor student” argument doesn’t really hold when they’re out drinking every weekend.

£60 spread over the year with the payment plan is £5 a month.

Mikey, I thought there was a lot of interest when you brought it up last year, remember all the club said at the time was that they were looking at changing the set up, hospitality was mentioned at the time not this sort of increase. Think you would have a lot more support now that we know what is planned

Does any other disabled season ticket holder have any answers from the club as to why the adult disabled season tickets are the only adult season tickets anywhere in the stadium not to get an early bird discount?

All other disabled categories (senior, student and youth) get early bird discounts and the only other categories not to get early bird discounts are child and youth tickets in the Famous Five lower family section.

I sent off a query to the club after this season's launch last year but unfortunately I've yet to receive a reply.

Why?

Being priced the way they have been has allowed people to buy tickets that previously or now can’t afford to. We’re not turning fans away at their current level so surely it’s better to have two student season ticket holders at £130 a season than none and them doing something else at the weekends.

I personally don’t understand why we work hard to fill the stadium then as soon as we get close to it, we put the prices up on the back of what’s been a pretty disappointing season and numbers are likely to drop anyway?

Imo we’ve had the pricing right recently, our increased attendances reflect that.

My point is that the “poor student” argument doesn’t really hold when they’re out drinking every weekend.

£60 spread over the year with the payment plan is £5 a month.

You’ll be struggling to find a student in Edinburgh who couldn’t save a fiver by having 2 less beers or a bit less weed each month!

Think you're making some massive generalisations about students there my friend. :rolleyes:

As I said, if Dempster hiked the price of mine and your season ticket up £60 and then told us to save a fiver every month by having 2 less beers, we'd rightly be outraged.

Genuinley just spoke to a few of my pals who are students - they are really questioning if they can actually afford to renew.

£135 to £195 - that’s a considerable increase.

Poor form, Hibs.

£1.15p per week? Considerable? They'll pay that for a packet of crisps in the Union.

If they'd tacked an extra £60 onto our adult season tickets, there'd be riots. It's very condescending of you and other posters to do it to students.

Son who turns 18 this year will be paying £385 on minimum wage. Having studied for 7 years myself I appreciate choices need to be made but sometimes it is about understanding how much is being done to reduce the price of your ticket.

Only you can make a decision about affordability and I would not criticise anyone who put other spending ahead of a ST

£60 is a large increase, which is unfortunate, but the tickets were far too cheap to begin with. If you go to a shop or a bar, student discount is usually 10-20%, so the tickets imo are still a good discount on the adult prices.
All the chat about "just have one less pint" is misplaced, however I think to state "poor from Hibs" is also wide of the mark

Why were they too cheap?

Ticket sales increased and the club have said they were able to double the budget since when Dempster first started.

Surely all the indications are they were priced correctly.

HELP! Has anyone who is retired tried to renew/buy an ST via the payment plan. It has an option to put in "retired" under employment type but is still looking for employers phone number etc. I have 3 pensions (2 private and the state pension) so I can enter total salary/income but the form will only take one employer phone number which would only verify one pension income if contacted.

They were too cheap because if we assume hearts and Aberdeen are our competitors...hearts students are 215-325, depending on seat and Aberdeen don't even offer a student rate.

I'm comparing to them, because any company does the same, looks at what it's competitors offer and try to offer a better product for the same money, or the same product for less money.

Correct, I did omit the under 21 thing, however I believe that is still more than our student ticket, which is also available to people over the age of 21.

I don’t really care about Hearts and Aberdeen.

Maybe they are too expensive though?

Since redeveloping our stadium we’ve struggled to fill it, we finally find a way of regularly doing so and then we decide to put the prices up? Doesn’t make sense to me.

I think the club have just assumed everyone will still renew regardless and we’ll make more money from them, I don’t think it’ll work out like that though and imo season tickets will be back to the usual 10-11,000 mark.

Okay, fair enough. Perhaps we just differ in opinion. £135 was £7 a game. Which is far too cheap in my opinion.

Unlike you, I do care what Hearts and Aberdeen charge, as we are bidding for the same players etc.

I don’t think the club will be assuming everyone will just renew when the prices go up. They could possibly sell less and make more though. There are thousands of season ticket seats empty every week. Maybe, rather than have them tied up and unused most of the time for next to nothing, they want the ability to sell that seat 20 times for 20 plus quid?

What are you slavering about?

Are you suggesting 3,00 students won't renew because of an extra £1 and a few pennies a week?

Are you a student, if not what are you getting involved? If students do want to complain let them do it, or are you just having a moan at the club because you want to? - assuming you're not a student.

Ha ha

The pricing will effect the size of the crowds therefore I think it’s a relevant topic for conversation, even for us non students.

I think due to it being a poorer season than what we’ve had in recent years season tickets numbers will be dropping off, that’s why I think we should be trying to keep prices at a level that’s worked and been successful recently.

Putting prices up on the back of a disappointing season seems a strange decision to me.

That’s not me bashing the club by the way, it’s just having an opinion and not just always assuming everything the club do every time will always be right.

Does any other disabled season ticket holder have any answers from the club as to why the adult disabled season tickets are the only adult season tickets anywhere in the stadium not to get an early bird discount?

All other disabled categories (senior, student and youth) get early bird discounts and the only other categories not to get early bird discounts are child and youth tickets in the Famous Five lower family section.

I sent off a query to the club after this season's launch last year but unfortunately I've yet to receive a reply.

That must be an oversight, mate. There's no way the club can deny your discount as an adult disabled fan.

Some of our group 5 Adults 3 Children ain't renewing at increases over last year of £90 per adult and £60 for a child.

This section will be empty next season as no one will pay that price. And don't come on here and say that we should pay more for the privilege of a decent seat. Why don't they just charge us for a replacement new plastic seat (£40) and get rid of the leather seats completely.

Our group also contains 4 pensioners so where in the stadium are they going to fit us in.


There are four of us who sit in those seats too and have been expecting a rise in prices for a few seasons (and to be fair, they are really good seats so should have to pay a little extra)

We are still debating what to do for next season although a quick look shows that there is no alot available even for a group as small as ours - plenty of room in both the East and West up near the away end but I`ve sat there before and it`s not pleasant!

£90 increase for the black seats in the FF Upper is a complete joke.

Some folk have sat in there buying seasons ticket after season ticket through relegation and some dire championship games.

Now LD comes up with this brain wave without any consultation or prior notice of what their plans were for that section.

It’s not as if they are ‘Executive Seating’ or fancy Hospitality area.

They are old slightly padded seats from when the Hospitality area was there pre-West Stand.

If we renew in this Executively priced seating, they better sort the roof where we get massive drips landing on us any time it rains. And provide us with ear plugs for the drum ;)

The problem we now have, there is very limited areas with a decent view where we can get 3 seats together!!

Yeah, it is section 50. To be honest, the club have put "warnings" in the renewal stuff for the last couple of years.

It will be a struggle to get any group of seats together unless you are happy to sit at the "away end" of the west or at the back of the east.

That will only get harder now as there is around 250 in that section and very unlikely all will renew at those prices.

If you try and buy a new seat in the West together best u can do us row b section 1 or 2 at the away end. After years in section 50 with a great view. That’s a bit of a let down.

I think the club will lose a lot of season ticket holders as there’s not a lot of places to go. Folk go on about loyalty points... what about loyalty of season ticket holders?

This will undoubtedly drive folk away from that section. After years and years of sitting in the FF lower because the folk I go with have always had kids with them next season will be the first time I've been in a position to sit in the FF upper because the kids are no longer kids. But that will involve needing 4 seats together at least … None of us will be in a position to pay for section 50 and with a lot of folk who used to sit there looking for seats elsewhere in the FF upper and a whole section already given over to the singing section I reckon the chances of that are nil. I'm not even sure that with the rules of the FF lower changing to edge out folk without kids that we will be able to sit there either, so it looks like back to the east for us.

Section 50 will be pretty much empty next season and a few people who sat in that area may not renew so in the end it will actually end up costing money.

But that will involve needing 4 seats together at least … None of us will be in a position to pay for section 50 and with a lot of folk who used to sit there looking for seats elsewhere in the FF upper and a whole section already given over to the singing section I reckon the chances of that are nil. I'm not even sure that with the rules of the FF lower changing to edge out folk without kids that we will be able to sit there either, so it looks like back to the east for us.
:confused:

Yip, we`ve been sitting here for a good few years, through all that dross in the Championship and I wasn`t consulted on any price increase. As I`ve said previously, there`s four of us in our group and it`s quite difficult to get that number together in a row, may have to settle for two in one row and two in the row in front which isnt ideal

Or does Leann have an email we can contact her on. I know shw says it brings "us" in line with Executive seats in the West but their view is way better than ours and they don`t have to put up with that drummer who has no timing

Not sure about your point on the view. I've always preferred behind the goals and IMO the view from the FF upper is the best in the stadium. But I agree with the rest, if you ask me Hibs and the fans would have been far better served if they had ripped out the executive seats and put ordinary seats in there instead, that would probably add extra seats to that section because I'm sure the executive seats are wider, and Hibs could earn extra through them.

If you try and buy a new seat in the West together best u can do us row b section 1 or 2 at the away end. After years in section 50 with a great view. That’s a bit of a let down.

I think the club will lose a lot of season ticket holders as there’s not a lot of places to go. Folk go on about loyalty points... what about loyalty of season ticket holders?

:agree: They nearly lost 3 generations with our group, the increase for us is £90 each for 2 adults and £50 increase for my Grandson (youth). As it's a struggle to get 3 "good" seats together, we've decided to bite the bullet and go with it for this season and see what happens at the end of next season.

As a workaround, you could move now to some placeholder seats, then when the seat renewal embargo lifts, ask to move your ST seats elsewhere. I suspect that there'll be a few decent seats being freed up then, since I don't anticipate this years ST takeup to match last years.

Just been on the phone to the ticket office, I have £15 credit due to me not able to go tonight and I exchanged my ticket, the £15 should have came off my ST price but it didn't, they're looking into it, if anyone else has this problem get in touch with the ticket office.

What are "placeholder" seats?

I suppose we could buy seats within the FF Upper although maybe not altogether and then hope a group of four become free

There were "warnings" for the last couple of years that something would happen, but no consultation, well not as far as I'm aware.

No consultation?

LD: We are going to start charging the premium rate again for the seats you've been enjoying a discount on.

Fans: We need to be consulted first because for seasons we've enjoyed superior seating at a discounted rate.

LD: OK see my statement above and pass me your comments.

Fans: See our comments above.

LD: Thank you for participating in this consultation exercise. Your comments are noted. Prices for the seats after careful consideration, repeated pre warnings and a consultation exercise are going up in line with the Boards original decision to maximise revenue for the team whilst offering value for money. Standard rate seats are available in all other Home areas for those who no longer wish to pay the rate we charge for these seats. Please contact the Ticket Office.

Pointless. Its like saying to Tesco I've been buying Hienz Beans at Tesco basic prices for years and now you are asking me to pay the full price without consulting me. Pointless

Just any old seats in the stadium to ensure you've got the renewal and the early bird discount, without necessarily being the seats you want to use for the year. Either, as you say, four random seats dotted about the place, or maybe the seats at the unpopular extremities of the East and West stands, which likely have groups of four available right now. The idea is to change to better seats when current ST holders drop out.

There is a chance that a contiguous group of four won't become free after the ST holder embargo, but I think in the current circumstances, it's unlikely, providing you're reasonably quick to change seats after all the renewal deadline expires.

There’s also the possibility that family groups, who have previously been unable to get seats in the FF lower and bought seats elsewhere, now move their seats to the FF lower, freeing up some other decent ones.

Trying to renew but only offering a youth ticket for my son. He will be 18 at the start of August - Does anyone know what the cutoff date for the age concessions are? I had expected it to be the start of the season but can't find anything on the site.

I think it goes by the persons age on the 1st of August. I turned 65 just after the 1st of August a couple of years ago and had to pay full whack although all the games I attended were after my 65th birthday. I'm not complaining as there has to be a cut off date.

In your son's case he will score but if he is still buying a ST when he's 65 he'll lose out then.

Released 4 tickets earlier in West Upper North, right on 18 yard line, 3 seats together in row PP and one seat further along if anyone needs a few together. Family circumstances prevent me from going unfortunately #ggtth 💚 think the 3 seats together are still available

The ff lower last night was again quite empty.

this is to be the family stand which I have no issue with as we have to encourage families to watch hibs

However if this is quieter what happens if we don’t sell these seats as season tickets. Does anyone think this will be opened up to those who dont have kids?

Surely we want the stand behind the goals full every week?

I’m only asking as decent seats are not that available in any other stand and I’m don’t want want to buy another seat on the off chance you can move.

Mikey, I thought there was a lot of interest when you brought it up last year, remember all the club said at the time was that they were looking at changing the set up, hospitality was mentioned at the time not this sort of increase. Think you would have a lot more support now that we know what is planned
It's some increase £110 pounds, if you don't use early bird scheme. It's not the luxury seats they make out,ripped vynil and water constantly dripping on you when it rains.
Think I'll pick and choose games next season.

I bought my Dad a Season Ticket in there two years running and he said it was the best seat he'd ever had in the ground.

He only wanted to move elsewhere because he didn't fancy sitting close to the Singing Section (he just hates the drum ;-))

For what it's worth, I was in there twice and the seats were really comfortable, as well as wider than the normal seats. I'd happily pay a bit more to sit there.

I honestly don't remember which board, but I do know that those with Season Tickets in that section were given notice that they might have to move seats... I think in the spring of 2017.

It's the section in the middle upper of the famous five.

The early bird discount is a bit odd, really inconsistent across the different ticket types.

Anyone know the logic?
