I believe there is planning permission in to build a second stand

They could be doing with concreting the open terrace behind the goal and put some crush barriers in. At the moment its just an ash/mud mound with some kerbs.

Heard they are getting advice from "Queen Anne" on how to build a stand on budget, on time and with seats!:agree:

How the hell they just "forgot" for order seats just sums them up as a club.

Why? For the 3 times every 10 years they draw one of the top 5 clubs in the country in the Scottish? Besides it's shallow as **** - crush barriers :tee hee:



When did top flight fitba fans become so soft and self entitled.

Cannae wait for it. That's what the Scottish is all about. Give me Recreation Park over some all seated place any day of the week :flag:

I'm not complaining, I love terraces it would just neaten it up a bit and and make that end better for spectators. The barriers are not incase of a crush, just to lean on and somewhere to put your bovril. :greengrin

[Ringothedog]

519 seats available to us in the "temporary" stand.

I will take my stand seats just in case it’s raining, if it’s a nice day I will use the terracing. Covers all bases

[CMurdoch]

Yes, I remember. Swapped my seated tickets for standing tickets with a guy and his young son as the young lad was soaked and frozen.

:hibees

Good man.

Aye, but knowing HC (which I don't), he made the laddie pay him the difference in ticket prices. :greengrin

Away season ticket holders having their money deducted tomorrow

Can’t see Hibs putting these on sale until next week now

Rather than wait for the usual ticket 'fiasco', i've decided to purchase my 4 from another source.

Install the same type of barriers they had at the original Bayview, they had hot water running through them according to my grandad :greengrin

[Hermit Crab]

Hibs still haven't received tickets for this game yet incase folk are wondering about ticket sales. Tickets should arrive today.

[greenlex]

When we thinking tickets will go on sale?

[Sir David Gray]

Surely Monday considering the game's 8 days away.

[Carheenlea]

When we thinking tickets will go on sale?

Has to be Monday at 12 noon to allow for postage of tickets. Will sell out comfortably on Monday I guess.

Expect an announcement around 9am Monday to notify of the sale three hours later for ST holders only. Been done this way before so make sure your networks are in order..

[Iggy Pope]

Post looks a struggle already at the rate the TO move.
Lots more £1.50 collection fees?

Always found the delivery of tickets very prompt from Hibs - often next day so never had any cause for complaint personally. Earlier they can get them live the better for everyone though, just to buy some time.

[Hibeesmad]

BSC have sold out their seating allocation.

Ticketmaster software update by all accounts (will check) but after improvements throughout the season yesterday was a headache that I’ll escalate strongly (5mins longer than usual to get in using the handheld scanners).

Other than costly structural amends to the East I’m not seeing a quick fix to the exiting of the stand (I’m last row - JJ, a staircase from top to bottom would be barry).

[Sir David Gray]

I've asked on the other thread but I'll ask here too. Any idea what the cost is for wheelchair tickets for this game and if Hibs know what the cost is, why isn't it advertised on the article published this morning?

If they don't know yet then why not?

Cheers.

No idea at this end - good question to ask club ticket office/SLO.

If I was guessing I would say £10/£12 in line with concessions (standard for some clubs). If I find out I’ll let you know.

That would be my guess as well but it's usually clearly advertised.

It's not the first time it's happened and I have messaged the club in the past but unfortunately I've never had a reply.

Not sure what address you used but I contacted the club about something using the contact us page and did not hear anything back. What's the point in having these addresses if they just ignore questions?

Agreed really poor to be honest.

Mine isn't even a difficult question. All I want to know is how much a ticket in the wheelchair section will be next Sunday.

Are the tickets usually a different price to an adult ticket SDG?

[Sir David Gray]

Are the tickets usually a different price to an adult ticket SDG?

Depends. Hibs charge the same price as an adult ticket for home games but that's not always the case at away games. In fact I'd say Hibs are in the minority in that sense.

Wheelchair tickets are usually cheaper than standard tickets to reflect the limited area you've got to choose from in terms of where you're sitting and also the fact that the wheelchair section often has the worst view in the stadium.

Having been before, I certainly wouldn't expect to pay £20 to sit in the wheelchair section at Alloa.

I know that when I phone up tomorrow I can ask before I hand over any card details but that's not really the point.

£27.50 if you need your ticket sent out. Booking fee on top of that to add too probably.

Broxburn athletic would beat Berwick rangers

[hibbyfraelibby]

Thanks.

Exit from the East is a self inflicted own goal. The fans were given the choice and chose a single tiered stand. If a two tier had been their choice then double the vomitories. Our choices have consequences and this is one of them. Apart from that its not helped by the physically infirm picking seats so high up they need oxygen to reach their seats and a Stennah stairlift to get them down.

The problem was constructing the single tier East without rear exits.

[Steven79]

The problem was constructing the single tier East without rear exits.Yep! I had cracking seats in the East but the amount of time it took to get out after the game meant I changed over to the West means I get back to Waverley over 10 minutes earlier.

Would it not be possible to carry out some form of retro fit to provide rear exit or would that be excessively costly?

[jgl07]

I can't see how that could be done unless they sorted out side exits from the front of the stand?

Don't know the answer but suspect it'll be yes so I can't see it happening.

I'd build them at the top of the staircases, so we'd lose probably four seats each time from the back row. Inconvenient for those who sit there but hopefully they'd be able to get somewhere close enough.

The bottom of the external staircases would need to be away from the normal exits for the East.

They are no mugs Billy . All this talk about resting players is a bit disrespectful. The pitch for one is a big leveller on its own .
Am I right in saying we are getting roughly a thousand tickets minus the asth , so about 650 up for grabs tomorrow at 12.00

Says we got 2,000, but not sure if that’s includes up to 500 or so AST. Think the capacity is around 3,000

They’re a team from the lowland league . It’s not disrespectful to suggest that we could/should utilise our squad in such a game. Whatever team we put out should win comfortably.

There will be a lot of "neutrals" in the BSC end, there core support is about 100 a game.

After the AST holders and players allocations have been deducted there are roughly 1600 tickets for sale tomorrow, a little over 100 seats with the rest terracing.

:agree:


But take nothing for granted, it took us a while to break down Irvine Meadow at ER not so long ago. Plus the "pitch factor" at Alloa will help the opposition rather than us.

[JXM73]

Well that was easy, nae seats left though

[elevengoats]

Yay, got a ticket. Not one of the seats thought. :D How many seats are there? :D

[staunchhibby]

ALSO GOT TICKET.NO PROBLEM:aok:

[SHODAN]

Ticket secured.

[hibsfan7]

Got my ticket no bother no seats though so will just have to stand i hope it is not raining that day

[tanfield]

All quite straightforward

[Carheenlea]

A breeze - over 300 ahead of me in queue when logging on about 5 to 12, but moved very quickly. Maybe not the big demand that you might have expected? Should still sell out alright.

[Radium]

Smoothest yet.

Went into the eticketing site and was placed in a queue: 450 people ahead of me and told it would take 7 minutes.

Queue dropped quickly and got in about 2 minutes later.

Two tickets in the basket and sorted within 5 minutes.

Make sure you choose that option

[whiskyhibby]

Just managed to secure my ticket, but almost lost the opportunity, got myself in the queue at 11:47 and when the email came through I was actually on the transfer bus from Heathrow Terminal 5 to 3 which was ok but just at the pint of reviewing my order the damn bus entered the tunnel , 4 minutes later and still no signal so it went to the dreaded could not load page, eventually got out the other end and thankfully the ticket was still on the basket so could complete the transaction [emoji4]

That will be just be the amount of tickets they have sold but it will create a problem nearer the end when you can't get 3 or 4 terracing "seats" next to each other and you will need to put them in the basket one by one...
