The bi-annual "bring back loyalty points" Hearts away ticket scramble

[Diclonius]

Here we go lads. Tickets go on sale in 45 minutes.

I'm going on my main browser at 11:35, followed my by laptop, tablet and phone at seven minute intervals to try and circumvent being randomly kicked out.

Will the system hold up? Will it randomly start limiting us to single tickets again? Will section K lower be mysteriously pre-sold out again? Will any of these issues ever be addressed? Let's find out!

As the statement says if you log in to multiple devices on the same IP address they'll think you are a bot

[Diclonius]

As the statement says if you log in to multiple devices on the same IP address they'll think you are a bot

The ticketmaster website says multiple devices are fine, it's multiple browser windows on the same device that locks you out.

[Pretty Boy]

Bingo time:

'I've been to...... this season, I deserve a ticket'
'Where were all youse in Eritrea for a pre season friendly in 1952? Nae ticket scramble then'
'I've got 5 already ha ha ha. I'm so witty.'
'Looking for 400 spares, they all have to be together and we'll only sit in odd numbered rows'

[SChibs]

The ticketmaster website says multiple devices are fine, it's multiple browser windows on the same device that locks you out.

It also mentions different devices on the same internet connection on the statement.

[sauzee=legend]

Spare ticket please - I couldn’t get one and haven’t missed a derby at PBS in years 😉😂
So as a result, haven’t seen Hibs win there in years either.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Just been into the eticketing site to do a bit of maintenance to my account and it is taking about a minute to go from one page to the next. That bodes well then :greengrin

[My_Wife_Camille]

Got my tickets sorted thankfully but I still back loyalty points

[Ginger Gehagan]

Well I'm in the queue for Celtic tickets on 23rd January according to the ticket site!!!

[Diclonius]

And so it begins.

[hfc-1875]

Where’s everyone at? On the list of games and refreshing waiting for the game to pop up? Or are u better not refreshing?

[DTS]

I am in the queue on my phone but on my laptop there is no queue and letting me log in straight away, not risking logging in on my laptop though because ill get punted out

[Aim Here]

Where’s everyone at? On the list of games and refreshing waiting for the game to pop up? Or are u better not refreshing?

I suspect if you're in that situation (like me) it's wise to refresh at fairly low intervals - you don't want to contribute too much to overloading the site, but you don't want to get automatically timed out, either.

[hailhail22]

I was in the site but got logged out and put in the queue, only a wee bit on the grey circle so hopefully near the front, going to keep trying to phone the ticket office as well that’s how I got them for the last derby

[green&left]

One laptop on at 11.30am, i'll put the other on at 12 on the dot:cb

Be interesting to see how many are up for grabs. If its like Celtic's allocation at Tynie the seats at both corner flags will be blocked off and the two rows behind the goal likely to be blocked off aswell after the Zlamal incident. Time AST holders, hospitality season ticket holders and players/club get their cut about 2500 up for grabs today maybe?

[Pretty Boy]

I logged on the site about 11.35 and so far it's still allowing me to stay in and navigate around relatively quickly.

Hopefully that's a good sign.

[Diclonius]

I'm on the last bit of the grey circle already, hopefully it keeps me hanging just after when tickets actually go on sale.

[The Spaceman]

The wheel of fortune begins!

[seanshow]

Gents re grey circle - define "a wee bit" "last bit" on a clock face :)

[Mikey]

I'm ranging from being unable to log in on some devices to right at the end of the circle on others. If that's an accurate reflection of where I am in the queue it'll be slippers and cigars at 12.05 :greengrin

[HibeeMackenzie]

I’m at 11 o’clock on the phone and 8 o’clock on the pc

[WeveGotMcginn]

Just randomly got booted back to the start of the circle of death. Great start.

[The Spaceman]

[GMD]

Was logged in and took chance of looking for match tickets on menu, got kicked out straight away!

I'm not logged in as I'm still in the queue. I factored in a 30+ minute wait for getting in.

[Oscar T Grouch]

As my boss is off today I ave three browsers open, two with a sliver of a doughnut left and one half way down. No movement recently but fingers crossed I'll at least get to getting timed out at some point!

The problem is the queues work like the supermarket queues. I could be second in the queue but if the person in front takes 15 mins I'll need to wsit 15 mins. There could be someone 5th in another queue but if the people in front of him take 2 mins each he'll get on before me

So as usual I have got to a sliver of a doughnut on all three browsers but no movement since, this happens every time I try and get tynie tickets, I never even get to the ticket selection site. I wonder how they choose who to let onto the website? Is it my IP address that is causing all this:confused:

[Ringothedog]

That was relatively painless, 3 tickets bought

Ive been in with 4 tickets since about 3 minutes past. Still not managed to check out. Spinning so slow trying to assign it to the people in my network. I have about 3 minutes left now :rolleyes:

I was in, had tickets, the transaction was timed out but I was still logged in so was still able to navigate (albeit slowly) the site. I wasn't logged out so didn't have to queue to log back in again.

They always are. We always state that tickets will be available on the phone and online, but you can never get through on the phones. Never met anyone that has got a ticket for the derbies over the phone with ticketmaster. It's a blatant lie that they are sold over the phone.

It would appear that a lot of the issues have been fixed. A painless transaction.

[wookie70]

Managed to get another two on my second visit. No confirmation email for that either but order number shown and details on my account. Site didn't get past the wheel on Home PC and laptop but I was in and out twice on my phone once using the same IP. Easiest I have found it but still a terrible system and the wait for my debit card to clear was getting too close to the wire for my liking

[hailhail22]

[Hedlund12]

Well I'm in the queue for Celtic tickets on 23rd January according to the ticket site!!!

So was I... don't hang up!! I got mine. Good luck.

[HibeeMackenzie]

Had 4 in my basket then got kicked out

[Aim Here]

Theres ~4000 tickets to be sold. If just 5% of Hibs fans attempts to buy by phone, that's 200 phone calls, which require, oh, 3 minutes per call to take details, and get the credit card numbers sorted. 600 minutes worth of phone call. If they had 10 people on the phones, it would still take an hour, and they'd have 60 people in the queue right now.

[Juice-Terry]

Is everyone else just getting a busy signal on the phone?

[Sean1875]

My group all sorted after a very anxious check out process just waiting to get kicked out! Much much prefer this new 'best available' system rather than picking your section, a lot smoother :aok:

Picky I know but would much rather be nearer the middle.

There was still the option to pick the section from the drop-down menu instead of 'best available', though there's the concomitant risk of being knocked back for picking a section that's fully allocated and having someone else pick the better seats you would otherwise have had. It's up to you!

[S4uzee]

Sold out? I’m in but nothing available?

[BoomtownHibees]

Supporters trying the Call Centre will now receive the engaged tone as tickets are almost sold out. This will minimise the risk of supporters being charged for calls. Please note if you're in the queue at this time there is no guarantee of being successful in obtaining a ticket.

First time in years I've managed to get them...usually don't get passed the donut...or when I do get the 'all sold out' message....

[HibeeHibernian4]

Anyone got an update on whether Dempster’s still taking Hibs’ away support for absolute mugs?

[Radium]

Two tickets purchased eventually. Was kicked out a second time on the phone and have ended up logging in through my daughters laptop about half one and got tickets having kept refreshing (the find tickets button not the browser)

If we are not going back to Loyalty Points is there a chance we could introduce a lottery. Sign up ahead of time in whatever group you want and then find out if you’re successful.

Sold Out. Just been on hold for about half an hour and eventually got through only to be told it's sold out. Gutted.

[Aim Here]

The middle will have been pre-sold.

To whom? The middle section holds somewhere north of 720 seats. There's 150 AST holders getting first dibs, and even if you treble that number for tickets that went to Hibs employees and player's relatives and the like, you're still looking at something like 200-300 seats.

[.Sean.]

I've literally never failed to get a ticket when I've tried for one, and we're going back 10 or so years now. It isn't fair that I should be fine every time while people in exactly the same position as me get **** all routinely.
Got two eventually. Right at the side of block M ( I’m sure 18 and 29 will be the very end seats) but who cares

[Stuart93]

Still some there I just got one in my basket

[Bill Milne]

I just removed a couple lower block L seats together

I think I got I of them, so a great big thank you from my niece who is the recipient!!

I think you would be surprised. Family member got 6 last week for Hibs end through connections at the PBS. Guess a few folk may no other channels to get tickets before the general sale

It's previously been suggested on here that there are more than a few groups who get advance purchase of tickets without it being publicised by the club.

300 AST holders I think

Waited a full 90 minutes before getting in after leaving phone browser open and in sight. Once through the transaction went pretty smoothly, if a bit slow with a couple of attempts to reassign my other and payment. was less than 60 seconds left to complete order before the confirmation appeared. Can`t complain though, so thankful of being fortunate enough to get tickets.

[Diclonius]

Officially sold out.

[Hibernian Verse]

Officially sold out.

Yassss. My Rangers supporting Dog will be delighted to make his first Hibs game using someone else's season ticket.

[Hermit Crab]

Officially sold out.


Except its not, just had 2 in my basket but timed out before i could assign them

[Hedlund12]

I just had a quick check and single ticket was available in lower section of Roseburn stand.

[Keith_M]

Why do you an AST holder, need to buy tickets?


Isn't that just taking the p1ss?

For people who are at work, that ok?

[AugustaHibs]

anyone else end up getting more than one ticket under a single ref? with all my pals trying at the same time somebodies reference has been used twice and was successful

[Keith_M]

For people who are at work, that ok?



Not really, no.

[Big_Franck]

Eventually got our 3 tickets which i'm delighted about. It was an hour and 20 minutes of waiting, being booted back to the start of the queue and then the basket randomly timing out though. So frustrating yet again.

[Blaster]

Not really, no.

Why not?

[Onceinawhile]

Why not?

Agreed, seems fine to me. I tried to get on to get tickets for someone else who was trying to. They got in and got tickets, I didn't.

If I'd got in though and they hadn't I'd have purchased the tickets for them.

[Hermit Crab]

That will likely get cancelled when it flags up in theTO, sure that happened to someone last time

[Hibernian Verse]

Did you manage to get tickets?

[Blaster]

Agreed, seems fine to me. I tried to get on to get tickets for someone else who was trying to. They got in and got tickets, I didn't.

If I'd got in though and they hadn't I'd have purchased the tickets for them.

Exactly. My group were trying to get our 8 tickets today so 3 of us logging in to get them between us. Thankfully we managed after getting 4 fairly quickly and then lots of refreshing to get the remainder between us

[Hermit Crab]

Officially sold out.


If its sold out why do they not remove the tab on the ticket site?

[Hermit Crab]

Did you manage to get tickets?


Not yet.

[AugustaHibs]

that's more than fine as it would have been a spare anyway. They better only cancel the single ticket though and not the whole booking of 4?

[Col2]

The last person who said that happened was mad as the WHOLE booking was cancelled if I recall. Hopefully not this time.

[AugustaHibs]

If that is the case then that is mad. They should realise this thing can happen considering everyone is trying for everyone else as it’s such a lottery.

[Hermit Crab]

Just got one now. Sold out though......:rolleyes:

[Diclonius]

Good question.

[Daydreamer]

Just got one now. Sold out though......:rolleyes:


Yip got one at 14.53 but sold out:aok:

[Hibernian Verse]

Just got one now. Sold out though......:rolleyes:

That's good. Everyone that went to Athens should be guaranteed a ticket.

[Hermit Crab]

Tab removed from E tickets now so it must finally be sold out.

[The Green Goblin]

Went last time. Never going back.

[Hibernia&Alba]

When did we last win there?

[HibeeHibernian4]

When did we last win there?

May 2013, Caldwell last minute winner.

To be fair Hearts' last one at Easter Road would be April 2014 if Lennon hadn't ****ed Stubbs' brilliant derby record. Thanks Neil. :rolleyes:

[Wheat Hound]

Jan 2017

Since then our results there have been 0-1, 0-2, 1-2, 1-1, 2-2, 0-0, 0-0, 0-1, 1-2, 0-0. Not absolutely terrible (as many draws as losses, and almost all narrow defeats) but still unacceptable, especially when you consider we've scored only FIVE goals in almost six years. Hopefully Hecky can fix that.

Have put Stubbs' in bold just to show perspective on what a good derby manager he was, by comparison far superior to any other Hibs manager of the last decade in that regard.

We rarely seem to perform there, and, of course, that lot play as if their lives depended on it for our visit.

The last two are Lennon.

In what way? We always sell out our allocation for there. No matter how we’re playing.

[DTS]

That’s not true though is it, our last win there we didn’t sell out. I remember a game where we only sold half the stand as well. I’d say 9/10 we sell out but not all the time. Wouldn’t say it’s “remarkable” the support we’ve had this season

Theres nothing "remarkable" about selling out a derby away match. It should be standard.

The only times that we didn't sell out were meaningless bottom 6 end of season games.

[Hermit Crab]

Rubbish, theres no such thing as a meaningless derby match. imo.

[Hibeesmad]

I recall a few blocks not sold in the game where Beattie scored, did they cut our allocation that day or did we just not sell enough tickets?

[My_Wife_Camille]

Rubbish, theres no such thing as a meaningless derby match. imo.
Spot on HC.

Also rubbish because the Riordan penalty Derby was a top 6 game.

[Itsnoteasy]

The only times that we didn't sell out were meaningless bottom 6 end of season games.

How often have the 2 teams been in the bottom 6?

[hfc-1875]

How many rows is there at tynie?

[Billy Whizz]

How many rows is there at tynie?

Think maybe 28 or so is the back row?

[Hermit Crab]

How many rows is there at tynie?


Row 2 is the front row of the Lower section. (Row 1 was removed a few years ago to make ground Uefa compliant I believe)

Row 8 is the back row of the Lower section.

Row 9 is the front row of the Upper section.

Row 28 is the back row of the Upper section.

There are 28 seats in most rows except those with aisles and stairways.

[Diclonius]

The only times that we didn't sell out were meaningless bottom 6 end of season games.

We barely sold out our allocation there during the **** years. The Riordan penalty game there was talk of Hearts opening up the Roseburn to their support, sales were so low.

It was only after the 2-2 that every man and his dog wanted to go, when we had little chance of winning plenty of people couldn't be bothered.

Our demand for tickets there has always gone up and down. There were many games long before 2-2 when tickets were like gold dust.

Then there have been other times when for whatever season we couldn't shift all our tickets - times which will inevitably return again at some point.

The Riordan penalty game was a great one because there was a different feel about our support as it wasn't all ST holders. Iirc there were more raucous youngsters than normal which added to the atmosphere.

There were a few sell outs, but after a few days of sales and often to general sale. Been to many that were far from sold out, and the ticket rush is a relatively recent phenomena.

[Iggy Pope]

Up until 2017 I never had any difficulty getting a ticket for a derby at Tynie in over 40 years of attending them on three different sides of the ground allocated to away fans. Not once was there a struggle getting one.
Wonder what happened?

[Hermit Crab]

The novelty will wear off when it goes up to about £50 a ticket next season with the clubs blaming Brexit or something. :greengrin

[Keith_M]

So, has anybody proposed the Loyalty Points to LD Yet?

:greengrin

[wookie70]

So, has anybody proposed the Loyalty Points to LD Yet?

:greengrin That ship seems to have sailed. She seems quite content to make it a scramble with fans wasting their time on a shocking system. It was marginally better today but still deeply frustrating and very unfair.

[The Modfather]

We rarely seem to perform there, and, of course, that lot play as if their lives depended on it for our visit.

I hope Heckingbottom approaches games at Tynecastle with a fresh pair of eyes. For all that Lennon had Rangers’ number he didn’t know how to better Levein at Tynecastle.

Hope to see us align some actual football and ambition to win to being solid and up for the battle. Too often under Lennon at Tynecastle the game wouldn’t have missed removing the ball.

[Duncan Smith]

So, has anybody proposed the Loyalty Points to LD Yet?

:greengrin

Not yet........... hopefully soon

One way or another

[Scouse Hibee]

It’s a lottery right enough but probably fair as all Hibs fans have the chance to enter to try and get a Derby ticket.

Curiously enough, that was around the same time a faceless group of fans threatened to withdraw their STs if we didn't do away with loyalty points.

[Gloucester Hibs]

:agree:

The infamous 4-4 game to name but one. Sold out very quickly, couldn't get a ticket for love nor money. Was even contemplating going in the gunts end as they still had tickets available, glad I never!

[Hiber-nation]

Rubbish, theres no such thing as a meaningless derby match. imo.

Should have rephrased that - I meant not to the likes of you and me but obviously meaningless to some!

[Diclonius]

I think things went slightly smoother this time? The system didn't seem to lock up for most people anyway.

[Hiber-nation]

My mistake, as someone else said, the derby when we hardly sold any tickets was a top 6. We did sell out the bottom 6 derby when Caldwell scored the winner :aok:

We didnt. Unless the tickets closest to the Wheatfield weren't available at all. They were definately empty and there was a plastic sheet beside the Hibs fans I think

[Hermit Crab]

:agree:, we failed to sell block H for that game. We rarely used to sell out Hearts away.

Now these are the 2 games a season the part-timers want to go to hence the the mad rush yesterday and facebook posts asking for spare references so non ST holders could get tickets.

It's really not that difficult to figure out.

[Keith_M]

I haven’t got a clue, the only away games I have been to watch Liverpool in recent times have been Sunderland and Newcastle and on those occasions my tickets come from another source.

Not quite sure how Liverpool do it matters anyway?


Don't they have a rotation system for Season Ticket holders, with a different group getting first dibs each game?

[Hermit Crab]

It's really not that difficult to figure out.


What is a good thing? Part-timers borrowing references to get tickets?

[HibeeHibernian4]

The only times that we didn't sell out were meaningless bottom 6 end of season games.

We have repeatedly failed to sell out the Roseburn at times, and will do so again in the future I'm sure. Let's not pretend that we always sell it out, it's not the case at all.
