Tickets for arsenal and Europa game

[AugustaHibs]

Anyone have insight when we are going to find out about ticket availability?

Arsenal game is in less than two weeks now

I reckon Arsenal will end up closed doors.

[HH81]

They should be able to offer a stream though?

[Onceinawhile]

I assume we are waiting on hearing back from the Scottish Government or Edinburgh Council regarding how many fans we can actually have.

Looking at 5k if we get approval.

[Up The Bracket]

I reckon Arsenal will end up closed doors.

Why would it be? Currently events don’t even need permission to have some fans in, obviously if we’re asking for more that may not be accepted but we’re allowed fans in.

[Billy Whizz]

Well they better get the new season ticket cards out pronto

[DH1875]

Why? Neither game will be on it. They'll offer the game to season ticket holders first but chances of you actually getting to sit in your seat will be slim if there's restrictions in place. Folks will have to spread out.

What I meant is they’ll have to add the ticket to a season card, can’t see them doing paper tickets

What are they doing for the Euros at Hampden/Wembley? If it is 5k then slim chance of any tickets reaching walk ups but if they do, how they getting in. With restrictions in place I see no rush to get cards out for this game.
Can you use your card to access other sections of the stadium? If your a season ticket holder in the east but had to move to the west for this game, would your ST card give you access?

Just says watch this space on their site.

Looks like they operate the same Fanbase ticket app like the Strollers but I don’t see anything in it.

Edit
Available on their Fanbase store £7 each, £4 concessions.
Go through their FB page to Fanbase if you’re struggling adding them to your account.

Why would it have to be added to a ST card? Tickets for tomorrow were downloaded to my phone. I am sure Hibs would be able to do that

[sauzee=legend]

3 tickets purchased on one of the links above - very simple!
Looking forward to getting back to football even if it pre season against Dunbar, it’s still “normal” returning.

Hibs definitely can. That's how my ticket for the Newcastle friendly a couple of years ago was issued.

Have you all seen the latest case numbers? 4200 yesterday alone.
We won’t be in stadiums anytime soon, regardless of vaccinations.

Sturgeon is giving an update later today. Every chance tonight’s game could be played with fans but may be the last for a month or 2.

I’m not sure why anybody would be surprised if fans at games is delayed, a vast amount of football fans are in an age group that remains unvaccinated, with recent numbers showing that vaccination or not we are not as clear of this disease as many think we are.

[Moulin Yarns]

Sturgeon is giving an update later today.

Where are you hearing this. Parliament is in recess and as far as I can remember there are plans for 2 updates during this period. We had one on Tuesday, did we not?

[Brightside]

Dunbar game is on the Fanbase app. Same as the Civil game.

[Ringothedog]

It’s not just the numbers though, it’s more about hospital admissions, if they stay manageable then there should be no issue. Roughly 50% of the population have been double vaccinated. I will send you photos from the Hibs game tonight.

Vast majority have had x1 vaccine and will be getting another before September - that is really important to remember.

If folk don’t feel safe attending they don’t have to go. Covid is here to stay - vaccinations help - life needs to go on - many want life to go on again. There won’t be a 3rd lockdown.

Cases will remain high for next few weeks but doesn’t mean things aren’t improving.

Are we surprised cases went up with fans close contacts during Scotland matches and kids not being vaccinated passing it on? Kids need to get vaccinated soon too if they really want to sort the case numbers out.

[Moulin Yarns]

Apologies, just heard something on the radio. Will address concerns about test and protect delays.

[BlackSheep]

While hospital admissions remain the concern m, too many positive cases is still regarded as an issue. The flood of cases from country to country is how we end up with variants. Despite this variant not being a statin with higher mortality, the next variant could be and the science regarding this concern is ongoing.

While I don’t think we will have a lockdown in the same sense as we have had before, this rise in cases (thankfully subsided today from yesterday) could result in certain activities, like mass gatherings being cancelled quite quickly.

Kids not being vaccinated is not the reason behind the rise in positive numbers. Kids have been in schools and other activities for a long time without such a rise. I wouldn’t point the finger at the football directly either, but the fact that so many act like they’re invincible after 1 or even 2 doses is why we are seeing a rise in cases.

I see very little social distancing these days… yes I see masks and other measures being used but walk into any supermarket, cafe, restaurant or pub and I assure you there will be evidence of relaxed attitudes towards covid.

It’s summer and people are out in groups enjoying themselves, no matter the occasion and here is where the rise in cases stems from.

Hospitalisation percentage is low thanks to the vaccine but case numbers cannot be ignored. Covid will not be going away soon but by the same token ignore it and open up football grounds/society like before and you're asking for trouble with variants etc

Plus, a small percentage of a very large number is still a problem for hospitals!...

We could have 100k cases in a day. If that doesn’t translate to hospitalisations or deaths then it really doesn’t matter a hoot.

We won’t (or at least we shouldn’t) be kept under restrictions based on case numbers.

I think it would be strange if Hibs fans were allowed in when Raith Rovers fans are restricted in their numbers, particularly when it's a testimonial that will mean a lot more to their fans than Hibs fans.

I'd be disappointed if roles were reversed and away fans were being allowed into Easter Road before me.

Unlike last year, the emphasis on cases should depend on a country's vaccination programme.

The higher the number of vaccines administered, the lower the risk of hospitalisation/severe disease amongst the population.

One dose makes a significant difference, but being fully vaccinated offers the best protection.

The UK remains ahead in fully vaccinated individuals in European nations with rising cases (48.7%).

The positive impact of this has already shown to have an effect on hospitalisations, which are thankfully not rising as quickly as previous COVID "waves.

Opening up society and kids back at school / fans celebrating football and people travelling with of course increase cases. But the good news is we are slowly getting back to some previous type of normality and the vaccine is making a difference.

Football fans as the Euros have shown will be back in stadiums sooner rather than later and rightly so.

Might the suggestion be that Raith fans get first dibs and they’ll see if there’s anything left so there’s no question that they’ll miss out to Hibbies.
Average home attendance at Starks something like 1800 btw.

[Keith_M]

As the recent case numbers have been particularly high in the under 35's, they really should restrict access to games to old duffers like me that have already been double vaccinated.

Yes maybe and if that's the case then fair enough.

I might be wrong but I'd imagine more than the usual amount may want to turn up for this one though considering it's a testimonial for someone who played for them for 14 years across two spells and it's one of their first matches held with fans in attendance for nearly 16 months.

I would like to think they’d want as many as possible at a Testimonial and that would maybe mean extending it to Hibs fans.

As long as this disease is actively infecting people it does matter a hoot!

While active it can mutate, the more hosts it comes into contact with the greater the chance of a mutation. Right now the mutations have increased transmissions rates, it takes one mutation to increase severity of the disease.

Case numbers is actually one of the biggest concerns among the scientific community, as they understand how viruses and disease work, unlike so many Internet-scientists proclaiming that we are fine once vaccinated.

The moment we let our guard down we could end up in a worse state.

Complacency is not the way forward.

I read that it is expected that there will be a current rate of 5% of cases will be hospitalised .If the numbers continue at this level that would mean around 1500 people going into hospital every week. So numbers really do matter.

May as well just forget about ever getting out of lockdowns then. If we’re going to sit here and worry about the variants that haven’t even happened/potentially never will happen then we’ll never get out of this. COVID isn’t going away. We’ll be living a restricted life forever if we decide we’re going to stay living under restrictions due to fear of variants that don’t exist.

Thankfully we seem to be getting away from using case numbers as justification for restrictions.

Case numbers hardly matter at all.

Of course they do. But the important part is the hospitalisations and deaths. Not the cases. There could be 100k cases per day. As long as it’s not resulting in people ending up in hospital and dying, that’s all that really matters.

As vaccinations go up, the important part will proportionately come down compared to cases. There’s no point in worrying about cases if they’re not translating to much in terms of hospitalisations and deaths.

Anyway, there’s a thread for this on the holy ground. We should be allowed back into the football.

Selfish outlook wanting to get back to the football. 15 people in a population of 6 million died from covid in the last week.

[calumhibee1]

They’re not rising enough to justify keeping our lives restricted, including going to the football.

Thankfully, everyone in power seems to be in agreement with that, hence why we’re still planning on going ahead with removing near enough all restrictions.

Anyway, back on topic, hopefully we’ll hear about tickets soon.

I think I will have to say this til I’m blue in the face…

Cases rising is a real concern! The more cases in circulation the greater the chance of a mutation.

Don’t be fooled by the previous mutations. They may have only increased transmission rate, but the next could increase the virus’ effectiveness and in turn increase mortality rates.

I as much as the next person is tired of restriction and lockdowns, but remaining cautious should still be a priority.

I want to go to the football so badly, but I think mass gatherings should still be banned until cases numbers susbside.

I would assume that the club have the procedures for a ballot and issuing tickets in place , it will be a case of how many ‘winners’ there are when they get the nod. It’s doable.

I get your concerns and many others too but when do you expect to be given the green light to get back to football and start living life again?

Cases will rise again when people are back doing various activities - they have said that will happen - but what's the point of a vaccine and trying to get the majority vaccinated? Every time you allow people to do more activities cases will rise - you can't sit here and wait till there are really low or zero - that's not happening anytime soon. You open up and they go up - it's going to happen. If there wasn't a hugely successful vaccine programme I would understand the issues of letting people in busy areas again.

You will get mutations - as already seen but you can't just sit about waiting for that to happen. A pandemic like this was due and reality is there will be another in the future but being outdoors especially isn't how many folk have been catching the virus.

What I do think is important is the NHS being better prepared and staff / funded so they aren't put under as much pressure in future. Also a better plan is put in place for future outbreaks.

This pandemic has been unfair for many and will continue to be unfair but there has to be a balance of risk and living. As I've said before there are issues such as Cancer people should be more concerned about as screenings etc are being missed and there is a severe back log for many other illnesses plus all the new cases of mental health etc.

I remain convinced Arsenal will be closed doors. Probably less bother to do so if the Scottish Government are not interested, and the focus now should be to put pressure on to get clarification exactly what the situation is going to be for the start of the season proper.

I actually think the same. Such a shame as well given its a glamour friendly against a huge team. Fair enough, it'll probably be a young team they field. But the four of my group would have definitely tried to get tickets.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the guidance is currently 500. There has been football fans at games now for the last few weeks and even Kelty Hearts had fans at playoff match. There were Hibs fans at the game on Friday night!!

Surely Hibs should aim to allow 500 fans to attend as a minimum. As far as I'm aware you don't need permission to do this from local authority.

Yup. There’s no excuses for having it behind closed doors. If 500 is all that is allowed then that’s out of Hibs hands, but there should be 500 there.

If we don’t get permission for more than 500 I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t bother.

[Jamesie]

Based on a circa 24% (16.5k of a 67.5k capacity stadium) capacity Murrayfield crowd for the British & Irish Lions a week past Saturday you’d hope we would ultimately get the sign off for 4,920 spectators for Arsenal. Unless, of course, increased case / positivity rates create a greater desire for caution on the part of the ScotGov…

Absolutely.

Absolutely. And there should be 500 there no matter what but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s viewed as not worthwhile whether it’s for financial or logistical reasons.

I was at CSS v Hibs on Friday night, 250 in, can't remember seeing too many stewards

[calumhibee1]

Not when you have to factor in costs.

It’s not but that can’t be the only consideration now. Fans have put so much in for next to nothing back. Maybe the club(s) should start doing the same.

If 500 can get in and It’ll cost Hibs a small amount of money to make it happen then the club should absolutely be paying for it.

[marinello59]

Given what the fans have put in with no return I’m sure the club won’t grudge paying for stewarding for this one.

Unless, of course, increased case / positivity rates create a greater desire for caution on the part of the ScotGov…

If it’s good for the goose...

I see the Raith Rovers tickets are being allocated on the basis that you must enter the stadium within a 15 min time slot.
We have the capacity and facilities at Easter Road to let more than 500 fans in surely tae ****., if they are doing it at Starks Park.
