Class.

"However, we also know some people face real challenges. The club will deal fairly with all supporters. Those fans wishing to have the unused portion of their ticket refunded should email us at tickets@hibernianfc.co.uk with their season ticket client reference number(s) before 5pm on May 29.

Supporters who email us by this deadline will be refunded for the four games lost against the value they paid for their season ticket. "




Well done Hibs. Never in doubt.

Excellent from Hibs. They can keep my money 💚

[Peevemor]

Information for those wanting refunds published within a few hours of the season being officially ended.

Well done Hibs!

[Waxy]

Well done Hibees. Taking gracefully the decision to end the season on sporting merit not being kind to us.
Looking forward to next season already.

[Vault Boy]

Class from top to bottom our club. 💚

Notice the contrast.

This is class and all by the way. 👏

Whenever that is...

[DaveF]

Personally don't want a refund but great to see the club be honest about things and offer those who require a refund the opportunity to do so.

[Onion]

Pure class. Well done Hibs.

See you on the other side :thumbsup:.

[Real Emerald]

Brilliant from Hibs, I won’t be asking for a refund but realise some people will need the cash due to the extraordinary circumstances, so well done Hibs.

[3pm]

Personally don't want a refund but great to see the club be honest about things and offer those who require a refund the opportunity to do so.

Would contribute to a crowd funding type thing to offset some of the loss if there was one. I am far from flush but can afford another £20 if it came to it.

Not everyone can and I am not looking to open a can of worms either.

[jacomo]

Excellent from Hibs. They can keep my money 💚


Well played. Not everyone can afford to do so, but respect due.

[Keith_M]

Brilliant from Hibs, I won’t be asking for a refund but realise some people will need the cash due to the extraordinary circumstances, so well done Hibs.


I feel exactly the same.


It's not going to be a massive amount of money they'll get back but some folk are already finding things difficult and every little helps.

[007]

Well done Hibs.

As I expected, no snide digs at our relegated neighbours. Not so sure it would have been the same from over there if the positions had been reversed.

[Juice-Terry]

Keep my money Hibs, you deserve it (and then some)! GGTTH!

[Peevemor]

I feel exactly the same.


It's not going to be a massive amount of money they'll get back but some folk are already finding things difficult and every little helps.For 4 matches you're speaking about what - £80-100? That makes a huge difference when you're skint (and we've all been there!).

[NthCarolinaHibs]

Proud to read the way Hibs are dealing with this...will not be looking for any refund from my club...well done Hibs 🇳🇬💚🇳🇬

[hibee_girl]

Information for those wanting refunds published within a few hours of the season being officially ended.

Well done Hibs!

:agree:

We all knew they’d have a plan for us.

I won’t be asking for any refunds but can understand why some will be.

[Stairway 2 7]

Can keep mine club needs us, but brilliant hibs

[Green_one]

Bags I get to take the first penalty of the season instead of a refund

Been practicing my Panenka

[Power]

✅ Season curtailed
☑️ Agreement with bigger picture despite dropping one place
✅ Club offer season ticket solutions
☑️ Best way forward for future
✅ Commitment to review supporter options
☑️ Continue to make our city and fans proud
✅ Edinburgh’s Premier club


Great communication, looking forward to further credit options. Shout if I can help in any way.

Continue staying safe 💚

[hibby rae]

I'm outraged.

A statement based on logic and reason that recognises the context of the bigger picture.

Hibs will really need to up their game next season if we are to stand any chance of winning the statement league. 😡😡😡





Nb. Great from the club, I won't be seeking a refund but I recognise others may not be in as fortunate a position as myself and so it's great to see Hibs act swiftly in this regard.

[S4uzee]

Can keep my money, however, a refund then buying both tops may be an option

[Sudds_1]

They can keepmine as well...and my grandaughters - although i suspect it may cost me in sweeties and ps4 games 😆😆

[h1bs4life]

None of our group will be looking for a refund. Good statement from the club , would have been nice if they had ended it by saying we do not believe that short term reconstruction of the leagues would be of benefit to Scottish Football just for the seethe value .

[Scorrie]

A statement of this quality should put us at the top of the Statement League I would have thought?

[danhibees1875]

A statement of this quality should put us at the top of the Statement League I would have thought?

That's a quantity over quality competition. We've shot ourselves in the foot here.

Petrie!

[1 8 7 5]

Quality from Hibernian.

Again.

[mutley]

No refund for me, I’m overseas and wouldn’t be at the games anyway. Would take a wee discount on a new shirt though

I think most of us will not wish to have a refund however spare a thought for those Hibbys that have no option but to!

Just the reaction from Hibs that we would expect :agree:

[Chorley Hibee]

Sent you a PM mate.

[wookie70]

That is how to deal with the refunds. Encourage those that can to view it as a season's worth of games completed now the season has closed and protect those that may need a refund. Spot on

[HendoDelivered]

Classy Hibees!

[Fuzzywuzzy]

They could try and giveaway stock from this season. I'd take a wee shirt!

I wouldnt be looking for a refund but I know everyone circumstances are different

[Mick O'Rourke]

The founders of our club would be proud of the current custodians

Disappointing, I was hoping for a suitably incoherent rambling rant after today's expulsion from the top 6.

[Keith_M]

For 4 matches you're speaking about what - £80-100? That makes a huge difference when you're skint (and we've all been there!).


I have indeed mate, so totally understand if anybody feels they have no option but to request the refund.

[MrSmith]

Just bought a ticket for my boy :D

Mmm, if you’ve no option not to then this amount of cash is unlikely to be the fix required.

What with the various schemes in place, payment breaks, lack of other costs just now I’m not so sure that Covid will have impacted to that extent a significant amount of those who have already paid this money away.

I hope the club don’t take too much of a hit here as that money has already been used.

[Keith_M]

Sent you a PM mate.


Hasn't arrived.

Maybe I need to clear my Inbox

[hibby6270]

Like majority here, not bothered about refund for this season.
However, much as Hearts demise brings a smile to the face, there is one initiative they have introduced that I have to applaud. Anyone buying a ST for next season is guaranteed a minimum of 18 games for the outlay. This means 2 things imo.
1) They’ve accepted their fate in the Championship 😃 - 18 home games.
2) Regardless of when next season starts or how many games it provides (should it be curtailed), any unused tickets will be held over to the 21/22 season if necessary.
Could Hibs do the same? Thoughts.🤔

Cumdog is back?

[TheSouthMoroccan]

Just a thought, having already bought next seasons season ticket, to further help the club, once all the refunds had been agreed and issued out, I'd be willing to donate as a gift the value of one refund. If enough folks did that perhaps we could balance the books on refunds issued out. We'd obviously have to do this in secret so as to negate any opportunists claiming when initially they might have decided not to, I know the four others I go with would all gladly help empty my pockets if given half a chance :greengrin

[Garymcl]

A clear and transparent statement yet again from our club just so proud to be a hibby at this moment in time that’s the way to run a football club budgie and by the way we own this city like the rest of us hibbys don’t want a penny back Ggtth

[Robbo6-2]

I wont be looking for refund either

[hibbyfraelibby]

Looks like Sir Tom Farmer and Lord Rod of Hampden did a good job of due diligence on Ron Gordon. Wee Ron must have signed this off. A man of principle. He gets us

[Scouse Hibee]

Wish I had waited on renewing now as I would have put the refund towards my season ticket, but I didn’t so won’t bother claiming it now.

[matty_f]

I won't be asking for a refund, would love to see Hibs come out of this as strong as possible, so I'm happy for them to keep the small amount that would be due back.

[jacomo]

Credit where it’s due.

Hibs Covid game is very strong indeed. Our club has handled this crisis superbly.

[hibbysam]

Wonder how those who were slating the club a few weeks ago for not offering refunds on a season that hadn’t been brought to a close yet feel now. Club have played this outstandingly well through Covid and the shambles that has unfolded in the last few weeks. Quiet, unassuming, going about our businesses and, most of all, looking after our club in the most positive way so that when we come out of this pandemic, we will be in the best position we possibly can to pick up where we left off.

[hibee-boys]

Hibs knock it out the park again, well worded sincere club statement. I could ask for a refund but I've saved more by being in lockdown, however, I do appreciate some fans won't be as fortunate. I'm away to renew👍

[Coach Jon]

i dont want the money back, your my family:paid:

[staunchhibby]

Not interested in claiming refund but thanks for offer

[steelendhibs]

Doesn’t seem to mention if you have purchased tickets for a single match which is the case with myself. Personally I really need the money just now, but there doesn’t seem to be a refund option for single match tickets

[Irish_Steve]

Not looking for a refund either, the money is spent as far as I`m concerned.

If there are incentives going, I want to go in goals during the warm-up for the first home game. Given the amount of food I`ve eaten since lockdown, I`d get a rapturous reception as people would think Conrad has returned lol

[wallpaperman]

Would contribute to a crowd funding type thing to offset some of the loss if there was one. I am far from flush but can afford another £20 if it came to it.

Not everyone can and I am not looking to open a can of worms either.

That’s a really good idea, if it helps offset the people who need a refund.

£20 of my money would be put into that as well, no problem.

[aljo7-0]

I won't be looking for a refund for me or my daughter's tickets but I'm lucky and can afford that

[DaveF]

Doesn’t seem to mention if you have purchased tickets for a single match which is the case with myself. Personally I really need the money just now, but there doesn’t seem to be a refund option for single match tickets

Email them. The club have said they will treat fans fairly and I would assume you will get a refund on a ticket bought in good faith.

[skankomcphee]

So for season ticket holders, will the refund be 4 19ths of the season ticket purchase price?

[green with envy]

Well played Hibs with that gesture. No refund will be coming this way.

[JammyDoidger]

Personally couldn't live with myself if I took money back from the club, club are sacrificing prize money as we now finish in the bottom 6. I could be doing with the money, but I'll sacrifice other things before I take money from hibs.

[steelendhibs]

Email them. The club have said they will treat fans fairly and I would assume you will get a refund on a ticket bought in good faith.

Yeah just done that mate. My son gets intensive physio for a neurological condition that isn’t funded by the NHS, and it ain’t cheap. With no money coming in we really need the money!!

[DaveF]

I'm sure the club will do the right thing. If for some reason they don't take it up with the fans rep as he has already indicated on the this thread he is here to help.

[Argylehibby]

The club can keep my refund and if they haven't sent the money on to Hamilton Accies they can keep the cash I paid for that ticket as well. I'm fortunate that I don't need it but I hope nobody reading this thread who does need the cash back doesn't feel put off claiming it by the overwhelming numbers saying they wont be. It's a tough time for many folk out there and if the refund helps then they should go for it.

[Eyrie]

Excellent statement from Hibs.

Sorry to hear of that situation and sending Hibernian strength.

Dave is right, here to help if needed but more than expect the club to pick that request up - Club are quite open on this subject (great) and will deal with each request as it comes (appreciating no situation is the same and there might be different solutions).

Tap in if needed.

[Dublin07]

I feel your pain mate. Had to raise 10k to pay my sons medical bills 2 years ago for a nuerological condition too and every penny was needed at the time as none of us could work at the time. Happy to help if you need to raise anything for his treatment.

[Keith_M]

So for season ticket holders, will the refund be 4 19ths of the season ticket purchase price?


I think it's something like that, so a refund for a kids ticket in the FF Lower would be about £10 and a full adult ticket would be roughly £80.

[Scotty Leither]

Don't want to embarrass you Kieran, but you just get better and better in this role, pal. It seems like there's a live, valid link to the Board at last, and more importantly someone who, on occasion won't just tell the Board what they want to hear either.

I've got some ideas i'd like to submit to the club to grow the profile of Edinburgh's sole premier outfit, and i'd like to run some of them by you first mate, but i'll PM you with the details.

"Hibernian strength" - I like it. Hibs Class.

[Alfred E Newman]

No refund required here but it’s a fine gesture by the club.

[skankomcphee]

I think it's something like that, so a refund for a kids ticket in the FF Lower would be about £10 and a full adult ticket would be roughly £80.

Thoughts on asking for the refund to be made as a credit against a season ticket for next term? Is that cheeky?

[jacomo]

Yeah just done that mate. My son gets intensive physio for a neurological condition that isn’t funded by the NHS, and it ain’t cheap. With no money coming in we really need the money!!


Best wishes to your son and your family and don’t feel bad in the slightest about asking for a refund. Some folk are having really tough times just now, understandably need to look after the pennies.

[Mon Dieu4]

When the football starts again, I will buy you and your son a ticket to make up for the game you didnt manage to get to see

[steelendhibs]

Thanks mate. I am sure they will be knowing this great club.

Lovely thought mate. He is only 15 months old though so maybe hold that thought until he can appreciate it properly ;)

[steelendhibs]

Aye mate. The specialist physio is £50 a pop, and he needs about 3 sessions a week. We manage but the season ticket had to give way this past season. The St Johnstone game would have actually been the first game I would have managed!

[steelendhibs]

Best wishes to your son and your family and don’t feel bad in the slightest about asking for a refund. Some folk are having really tough times just now, understandably need to look after the pennies.

Thanks mate. I don’t feel bad, especially with it being for my son.

Thanks for the offer to raise something for his treatment.....although I had just got my wife to stop crying about something else and then I showed her your post!!! We have and army of friends and family that all donate a fiver a month to his ongoing treatment. He was due to go to America in July but obviously that is on the back burner for now

[Diclonius]

Hibs can have my money, though completely understand if others choose to ask for a refund.

[brog]

Our club/family just gets better & better. As my pal Mick said, our founding fathers would be proud.

[Hakim Sar]

Would contribute to a crowd funding type thing to offset some of the loss if there was one. I am far from flush but can afford another £20 if it came to it.

Not everyone can and I am not looking to open a can of worms either.

Agreed and a fantastic sentiment. I’d stick 20 quid in a go fund me for the club to cover any short fall. Here here!

[IberianHibernian]

Mmm, if you’ve no option not to then this amount of cash is unlikely to be the fix required.

What with the various schemes in place, payment breaks, lack of other costs just now I’m not so sure that Covid will have impacted to that extent a significant amount of those who have already paid this money away.

I hope the club don’t take too much of a hit here as that money has already been used.Hibs like all other clubs will suffer financial consequences of this crisis and as for taking a hit obviously we all hope that it isn`t too serious a hit but think any club that didn`t at least offer a part refund (or other compensation - merchandise , TV deal, tickets for 21 / 22 etc ) would be open to criticism or worse ( legal action ) . I`m not quite sure I understand the rest of what you say . That very few people have been so badly affected financially that they might appreciate refund of 80 pounds ? There are probably people who buy several season tickets for their families so suddenly that`s several hundred pounds which is a lot of money if your income has fallen dramatically which will be the case for many people . In the case of the self - employed that may mean fallen to below zero income . I am self employed with a small business in Spain so don`t know exactly what help is available to self - employed and workers in general in the UK but I can understand 100% why some people might ask for a refund . I`ve yet to renew the KFK season tickets I`ve bought since scheme started and will soon have to renew my Hibs TV International subscription - I`ll do both even if I have to borrow to do it but later than other years because obviously the welfare of my workers` families is more important than me getting to see Hibs online . That would be the same if I was based in Edinburgh . I realise that you`re talking of refunds for 19 / 20 and I`m talking of 20 / 21 tickets but I still think it`s important that people remember that a lot of fans are in a very difficult situation at present even if an amazing number have already renewed their STs .

[Sir David Gray]

What's happening with tickets bought for the Hamilton game? I hadn't got round to getting mine before the league was paused but I understand that tickets for that game had already gone on sale.

I doubt if people will feel so charitable if their money is going to another club.

[Speedy]

If the club needs the money, I'm sure there will be a whole host of people who need it too.

Ah right ok I thought Hamilton would have been due that money as the home team.

[rodhibs55]

Excellent gesture and excellent statement, clear concise to the point and professional. Wont be asking for refunds for me or my son.
Surely we are top of the statement league for quality, clarity and professionalism.

It's not a problem mate. My son was 13 by the time we went private but had problems since he was 6. It takes its toll on the whole family. After our fundraising he has done really well and got back to Easter road for first time in 3 years before the lock down. Our page on Facebook was pandas boi. Keep fighting and message me through the page if you need any help. Also I have 3 season tickets now so happy for you to use one of them at a game once football is back.

[Garymcl]

Over the years I have heard stories of our fans going the extra mile to help other fans on our forums from small gestures to the one I’ve just read makes me so proud to be a hibby we really are a “community club “” in the real sense :thumbsup:

[CraigHibee]

more than happy for hibs to keep my money, fortunate to not have been financially impacted by what's happened but i know a lot of folk aren't in the same boat.

hibs class :flag:

[mvteng]

However, much as Hearts demise brings a smile to the face, there is one initiative they have introduced that I have to applaud. Anyone buying a ST for next season is guaranteed a minimum of 18 games for the outlay. This means Regardless of when next season starts or how many games it provides (should it be curtailed), any unused tickets will be held over to the 21/22 season if necessary.
Could Hibs do the same? Thoughts.🤔

I would welcome this. We have 3 season tickets, not renewed yet, & really struggling with it, as i doubt we will see any matches until next year at the earliest
