Quality pricing that. Won’t find much cheaper anywhere for a cup quarter final. Should be 14k+ easy.

[JimBHibees]

Prices are fine for a Scottish quarter final

[Pretty Boy]

Friday will knock a big chunk of ICT fans off. No train home and at least a half day off work.

13K would be a decent turnout.

Absolute nonsense, this game is priced well for a Scottish Cup quarter final regardless whether it is on the TV.

Ah well another empty famous five lower it is. Really thought they might have done something different with the sales this time.

Wasn't so long ago they fixed it so that online tickets are more expensive than in-person tickets. Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing?

I would sell the FF lower 1st then open the upper tier if it sells out.

We can hopefully get an update from Kieran if the idea was even discussed by His for this game - probably get the reply it was too short notice.

Last cup game there about 200 folk in the FF lower!

Happy with the Friday night - could have been say £15 for adults but we don't seem to offer cheap prices often.

No issue with the adult pricing. I think they could do more for kids though, particularly in the family section.

Agree. The pricing is fine. Look at the prices Hearts are charging for their QF against Rangers:

Ticket prices have been confirmed at £30 for adults, £20 for concessions (Students, Over 65s and Under 18s) and £12 for Under 16s.

It’s too late for any of that tickets go on sale 12pm Monday! Another opportunity missed.

[Brooster]

Adult prices not too bad for a QF but kids prices are a bit of a liberty. I dont think it's a coincidence that all our cup ties are top whack, especially the early rounds. Hibs are instrumental in the pricing. It's been an expensive run so far especially if you have kids. The prices to stand uncovered in mud at Alloa were shocking. It's a bit greedy.

If I was a ST holder in the FF Upper I wouldn’t be happy that I couldn’t sit in my usual seat. Wouldn’t be opposed to experimenting putting the singing section in the FF Lower.

We should close the upper tiers for this game then open them for sale if we sell enough tickets.

Always the fault of the other side when this argument crops up.

On another thread someone had pointed out that, if the clubs can’t agree on price, it would default to the standard pricing for a league game. I’m pretty sure BSC don’t normally charge £20 or £22 for a league game as in the previous round. I get it was a chance for them to make some money, but Hibs clearly happy to go with it.

FWIW, I don’t have a problem with the price I’ll pay for the quarter final, but I do think Hibs are generally happy to squeeze the prices up as far as they can in the cups. I think it’s an opportunity to do a bit more on the kids pricing.

[Since452]

[Mikey]

Last year's £748,000 operating loss suggests that the pricing is about right.

Is this the game the singing section were trying to get into FF Lower

I believe so. Looks like nothing happening.

[The 90+2]

£20 quarter final on payday. What’s not to like?

[ABZHFC]

Agree with ideas like this, would help create a better atmosphere than having everyone spread out.

It's not that I disagree with this on any sort of principle, because we should always look to make kids tickets cheap. But let's be realistic, it's a Friday 7:45pm kickoff, there will be significantly less kids attending than if it was an afternoon kickoff on the weekend.

The problem really lies in this. If you are over the age of 18, and not a season ticket holder or a student, you will be having to pay £22 for a game like this. Now think about a group of mates who want to go. If four of them went, that would be a total of £88. We shoot ourselves in the foot in this country by thinking all adults have children, and want to sit with them in family sections. There is no catering for younger fans, without kids, who want to go with mates at the end of a working week and blow off some steam.

That is the crux of why we will get a poor crowd for this game. Because our board (and indeed almost every board in Scotland) fail to attract a crucial age bracket (18-30 year olds).

AFAIK, it was only ever proposed on here by a few posters.

I haven't heard of any proposal from the Singing Section guys.

Actually, I didnt blame ICT but was pointing out that this is not all on Hibs. It is (I think) a TV match, so both clubs will get income there. That also probably means less ICT fans through the gate.

I have no idea whats "reasonable" but I would like someone to work out how much Hibs would make / lose based on £20 or £15 pricing.........as I dont know, but imagine that Hibs have a fair idea.

Loads moan about prices, abd they would be the same ones moaning if we had missed out on Scott Allan because "we didnt have the cash".

It’s still only £22 each though, it’s not like their pals would all be expecting one person to stump up for the 4 tickets. 18-30 year olds have the most disposable income than most others, a whole host of them would be students so manage to get concession tickets. I’d actually hazard a guess that a Friday night will attract a majority of young adults than any other age group. Clubs aren’t going to chuck cash away when in reality it won’t make any difference to the attendance.

Not so sure it's that. Just think folk are sick of the football in general being ridiculously expensive.

West stand or East ?

The last away replay to ICT did fans have to stay over or did trains run after ?

Another opportunity missed though to create a bit of buzz and create a better atmosphere.

Signing section should just buy tickets in a different part of stadium for this.

[erin go bragh]

£20 for a 1/4 final in the Scottish cup is far from expensive. Friday night under the lights at ER . Grab yourself a bargain imo . Possibly one game away from Hampden.

Happy with the Friday night - could have been say £15 for adults but we don't seem to offer cheap prices often.

I did take the suggestion to the club at the start of the week. No further feedback at the moment.

The Club clearly isn’t comfortable moving Season ticket holders from their seats - which is fair (especially as there is a discount price available too). Timescales hasn’t helped in this situation (making contact).

I’ll certainly back there needs to be a solution - both sides are butting heids - but I couldn’t support moving a specific set of season ticket holders midseason fully (difficult as I need to ‘look after’ them too).

Club is definitely looking at options moving forward but that intention was always in the future, not this season.

Beauty with this cup game is the ability to move to another part of the ground if you wanted. A few will be joining me up the back of the East for this one.

I’ll keep on at it though.

Totally agree but it’s definitely one game away from Hampden, Shirley?

[Scott Allan Key]

I'm gutted I'll miss this as my missus is working and I'll be with all the young kids who aren't quite ready for the footy. However, Hibs generally play well under the Easter Road lights while on the telly, so I'm pleased for them. Quietly confident.

Will the club put a ban on buying tickets if the singing section move en mass again though? Either everyone can move to anywhere, or nobody should be allowed to move.

[JohnM1875]

I said pricing in general. Add that £20 on top of the £380 for a season ticket and the numerous other £20+ games out with the league games. I can see why people get annoyed.

It'll be on TV so surely they realise less folk will go.

[Power]

Plenty of options on moves (now but more likely after ST deadline) just not the FFL which is the family section again this season.

I've got 10 season ticket holders in my network and two of them are ambulant adults with carers. All the tickets however are priced at £20 in my basket apart from one over 65 at £10. Is this likely to be a mistake as there is no reference to ambulant and carer tickets within the main ticket announcement?? I cant remember a time when Hibs haven't made these tickets available at Easter Road.

[Smartie]

Adult prices are fine but I’d like Hibs to be doing a bit more to attract kids and families along to a match that should be a decent occasion but nowhere near a sell-out.

When they they come away with stuff about being community focused and family friendly, it would be taken a bit more seriously if it was backed up with action.

£20 for a Scottish Cup QF is perfectly reasonable though.

[hibbysam]

Plenty of options on moves (now but more likely after ST deadline) just not the FFL which is the family section again this season.

Even though there is no family pricing for this game, and there is nothing in the ticket information link provided for the game that states only families can buy tickets for the FFL for this game?

If the club want this to be the case then they should be clarifying that in the info and providing family pricing, otherwise it is a free for all like all other sections.

[H18 SFR]

Last year's £748,000 operating loss suggests that the pricing is about right.

Absolutely not! It shows that alternative income streams are poor.

[Kojock]

Hibs can’t win on pricing. Folk just love to moan and have a go at the club. If it was cheap folk would moan that they are devaluing the game. It’s a business Hibs are running not a charity.

Given that sponsorship situation, I’m no so sure about the charity bit!

[Kojock]

I don’t have a problem with that as kids are the future of Hibernian. Even if they said kids for a quid (maximum of 4) accompanied by a full paying adult exclusive to the FF lower. If you want to take kids elsewhere in the ground you pay the concession price.

[PompeyHibs]

Superb pricing by Hibs
£20 and £10 for a 1/4 final tie for ST holders

£22 for PATG

Should be a bumper crowd

Well done Hibs

[Keith_M]

What was the proposal?

FWIW, I mentioned on another thread that I wouldn't be against trialing a re-arrangement of the seating ...but it depended on whether the club wanted to guarantee Season Ticket holders the right to buy their own seats for this match.

The club have to take the opinions of all supporters into account, so making a decision about this can't be easy

It's overpriced for me and will impact our chances of winning. If should have been 15 and 5 with the priority being getting as many bodies into the stadium as possible. Yes its a QF but its against a Championship team on a Friday on tv. I'll be there but I suspect we'll only be around the 10-11k.

Hibs have rarely seemed like they're helping the fans over the years. This could've been a wee thank you to the fans who once again have dug deep and also had to suffer self scanning and other customer service issues etc earlier in the year.

Great question Willy (seems that ST holders have these on sale now via notifications when you log in and not Monday) it’s one for Ticket Office (tickets@hibernianfc.co.uk) or Club Support Liaison Officer to give you the best advice.

My best guess is Ambulant and Carer tickets will definitely be available, these aren’t set at adult prices - usually in line with concession prices.

I think you’ve got to approach that decision from the “who are we most and least prepared to piss off” angle, and you can’t really argue with an approach that will probably piss of season ticket holders the least and that will maximise the gate revenue and thus funds available to spend on players.

So, begrudgingly Hibs have probably got this one right after all.

Here’s hoping their next challenge is managing the scrum for tickets for a winnable Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden.

Thanks Kieran. The ambulant person normally pays full price in his or her particular category and the carer goes free. I'll give the ticket office a ring in the morning and query it and post the answer on here

Moan, moan moan! You will find plenty in the pubs that night spending their £20 on around 4 pints rather than attend. If fans can’t get excited about a cup quarter final then it’s them who have a problem. As one of the many older generation I suffered agony till 2016 which was one of the best days of my life. Hoping that we can get to the final again and this game which is cheaper than than a run of the mill league game is the first hurdle. Can’t wait, a cup tie under the lights and a chance to get to Hampden.

Yup

It was always going to be tough to fill the stadium on a Friday on TV but at least try something different.

We are all Hibs....well not really as many tickets are too expensive - even alongside a season ticket.

Newcastle recently did kids for £1 deal with a paying adult. Even that would have possibly filled the FF lower and maybe even enticed more to come back next season.

It’s simply bland from Hibs - so many good ideas are discussed on here and supposedly spoken about at meetings but nothing comes of it. The club are going to have to do something different next season if they think folk will simply renew for the same old - same old. Wonder if the club have the average attendance figures from FF lower only as it would be interesting to see actually how many aren’t turning up.

Thats a good shout £22 adult £1 per child up to 4 in the famous five lower , not sure what difference that would make to the money Inverness would get. Help fill the stand and give parents who take kids a break cash wise. My kids , nephews and nieces all had season tickets in famous five lower , all cups games were part of the season ticket so the only extra costs was any away games. Although home games always cost a fortune for half time snacks.
Kids are the future I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for my season ticket if it kept kids prices frozen or helped reduce them.

[Iggy Pope]

Can you tell me the section number (?) and I’ll make sure that ties up with the leaks I’ve asked in FFU and East to be looked at ✅

Rows AA and BB 25 - 35 take a bit of water in.

[eastcoasthibby]

You would need to make it a fiver for kids and tenner for the adults with them to fill the FF lower for any cup game where a significant number need to pay .... hopefully RG manages to see sense and talk LD into changing the tactics and thinking around what the best use of this part of the ground is ...thinking about the match day experience cos it's not working the way it is ....as has been said a half full at best cup quarter final FFL will be in place again ..!!

[inglisavhibs]

Price is fair and should ensure a great crowd for what will be the club being 90 mins away from another big match and the money that comes with it.

Will be buying with my season ticket tonight, my daughter wants to go as well. Can I buy a ticket for her tonight even though she is not a season ticket holder?

[Scouse Hibee]

Yes you can.

Tickets will also available to non-season ticket holders in the general sale online and via the call centre from Monday 17 February and in person from Wednesday, with a further allocation of seats made available after 10am on Friday, when the season ticket seat reservation option is removed.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Overpriced yet again. The game is live on the BBC, £10 and £5 would have been suffice.

Lets go the whole hog and make it free entry...after all the players play for nothing and there are no other costs like lights, polis, ambulance, first aid, stewarding etc to meet.

Give it a rest. The revenue from these games supplement next season's budget when you'd moan about missing out on targets because we can't afford them.

If you don't like the price stay at home and watch it on cooncil telly.

Will get mine and my lots seats when I get paid on Thursday. I think the pricing is spot on considering it’s a quarter final and a massive opportunity to cheer the team to hampden.

If finances/ family or work commitments allow I can’t understand why anyone would stay away from this one.

I would sell the FF lower 1st then open the upper tier if it sells out.

We can hopefully get an update from Kieran if the idea was even discussed by His for this game - probably get the reply it was too short notice.

Last cup game there about 200 folk in the FF lower!


It would make more sense to shut the West Upper.

Why should us in the FF Upper me mesbed around?

Anyway I have already purchased a ticket.

I've got reserved seats but it's wheelchair and personal assistant seats and the latter is always free, however when I click on it I'm being charged for both.

I saw this last week but just assumed it was because they weren't actually on sale at that point and it would sort itself out by today but it hasn't.

Is anyone else in the same position?

Sorry I haven't explained myself very well. I have logged into my account and I have two reserved tickets sitting waiting for me but instead of only charging me for the wheelchair ticket, which is the norm, both the wheelchair and personal assistant tickets are being charged at £20.

[Rocky]

There seems to be a real clamour to do a kids prices promotion for this game which seems to me like the most counter-productive proposal I could imagine. Surely the point of a promotion is to get people in with the cheap prices so that they're inspired to keep coming back at regular prices? This would seem to be one of the worst possible games to pick for such a promotion. Imagine taking your 8/9/10 year old to their first game where it's a Friday night, so plenty drunks around and a late finish, plus it's in February, so you can reasonably expect the weather to be gash. I'd imagine there's more potential for that to put kids off for years to come than to inspire them to come rushing back the following week.

Is anyone else in the same position?

So to answer my own question and for the benefit of any others who are in the same position, the ticket office has done this deliberately as people have apparently been buying wheelchair and carer tickets but not turning up with the person in the wheelchair.

I emailed last night and I got a quick reply this morning saying that my tickets had been amended to allow me to go online and order them as they should be so I'm happy with how that was dealt with.

A few observations;

1 - First of all it's really disappointing that anyone has done this in the first place. They really need to take a look at themselves.

2- It would have been nice for Hibs to have included this information on the tickets page for the game to let people like me know what to expect. It would have been easy to have gone ahead with the payment before realising that you've paid double.

3- Hopefully these people who have been caught defrauding the club (let's call it as it is) and taking advantage of the disabled ticketing system, have had their tickets confiscated and told they're no longer welcome.

4- For cup games, if you're an adult wheelchair user, you pay the same price as an able bodied adult for the game so I'm not too sure what difference it would actually make if the disabled person goes or not. If I bought a wheelchair ticket at £20 and a helper ticket for free then it would be the same cost as it would be if the helper was to buy a normal ticket and the disabled person wasn't there at all - i.e. still £20 (at least until Friday).

Anyway hope this helps anyone else looking in.

Reckon on point 4 its because all disabled space users need to be accompanied by their carer. If you block the disabled carer space another carer cannot attend with their disabled supporter so effectively you are selfishly blocking two legit attendees in a pretty premium space. Selfish basas

[Sir David Gray]

A disabled person can attend the game on their own, they're not forced to attend with a helper.

I do take your point about the wheelchair area having limited space so if a helper attends without the disabled person then they're taking up a seat that could be used by someone else. The way around that for the vast majority of games though is for the helper to move to another area of the stadium as there's usually plenty seats.

A Wee Reminder for season ticket holders.
If you want to get your seat for £20 you have only 16 hrs to update your season ticket.

After that it's £22 and probably not your regular seat.

It’s quite right that the club respect ST holders and allow them to buy their own seat for cup games.

[GreenCastle]

It’s quite right that the club respect ST holders and allow them to buy their own seat for cup games.

As a ST holder - I'm really not that precious over my seat. I would prefer the stadium to have a better atmosphere if they sell out the lower tiers (North and West) and East 1st.

There is no logic making the same decisions as previous games with massive empty gaps all over the place.

Would probably be cheaper to fill lower parts of stadium than open up the top tiers and waste £ on stewards / police / food etc.

But a season ticket is only for league games.

If they did something that might help improve the atmosphere a bit or reduce costs I’d be fine without my season ticket seat for a game that I can’t use my season ticket for. There are thousands of other good seats to choose from.

Cannot understand why we should sit in lower sections so it looks better on tv, good chance of being soaked if raining and worse view!!! No ta

Possibly don't sell tickets for end sections(unless demand is there) so folk are more compact together, may be a better idea imho.
