Hibs v Arsenal

[blackpoolhibs]

If the price of a ticket is so important to you why not support hearts or a junior team?

What a daft reply. :rolleyes:

[Frazerbob]

Really? Over 80% off season ticket holders who were happy to support the club with no prospect of attending games have said no to this one. That’s a strong message to Ron Gordon that we aren’t just here to ‘pony up.’

Pony up? Cheap shot I don’t expect from you sir.

[Frazerbob]

You’d think Hibs were a charity and not a business who’s lost a considerable amount of money in the last 18 months and had to take on various government loans to get through a pandemic. Then we all moan about signing players from Hamilton and St Mirren.

Nobody is asking for charity or free tickets. They are asking for an explanation to why the price of a ticket for a pre-season friendly against Premier League opposition has increased by 73% in 2 years.

The suggested reason of covering extra stewarding costs with a lower attendance doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny when Hearts are playing in the same city with the same attendance constraints on the same weekend and charging significantly less than us.

If the extra cost is associated with having to pay Arsenal a a large fee then questions need to be asked about why the club agreed to such an arrangement when it was always highly likely there would be restrictions placed on the number of people who could attend.

Stupid reply but not surprising.

[Billy Whizz]

Wonder if it will be a 1st come 1st served for the European game, similar to the Aberdeen game

[Dalianwanda]

Let’s assume then that both teams need all match day income from their fans to cover the costs of the game as is being suggested here.

Hibs: 2000 tickets x £26 = £52,000

Hearts: 2000 tickets x £10 = £20,000 -> half to Cove = £10,000

Are we really suggesting that it is costing Hibs 5 times as much to host a preseason friendly as it costing Hearts to host a competitive League Cup tie in the same city on the same day?

*Assumption made that both teams will have roughly similar numbers of concessions. Taking concession prices into account would actually make this difference even wider.

Assumption without something to back it ups still a best guess. If your not going your not getting fleeced if you are going you’ve decided it’s a worthwhile price to pay so your getting fleeced either.

Hibs friendly against Newcastle few seasons ago brought £150-200k in receipts. The Arsenal match will bring in £52k. Take off the VAT (£8,700), stewarding, cleaning & other costs & Arsenal's payment/share (they will be getting one) then there won't be much leftover.

Hibs will have lost a packet over the past 18 months. It would have been far worse without the goodwill and financial support of the fans, but Ron will currently be propping up the club as we look to strengthen the squad.

£26 is too much, there's no doubt about it, but 2k people have bitten the bullet and paid it.

The situation isn't ideal for anyone, neither the club nor the fans, but we're not living in normal times.

Do all suppliers provide explanations to their pricing policy? I think the reason is pretty obvious. Such a glamorous game would normally be a big money spinner. Unfortunately that’s not the case just now.

We’ve not had the accounts for the Covid season.

By that logic should we start doing what the old firm do and charge £50 for the derby games because there will be people that will pay it?

[Billy Whizz]

We’ve not had the accounts for the Covid season.

That’s correct, but we’ve taken a long term cheap loan, and hopefully had the insurance claim paid out
The wage bill must be massively down as well though, over 70 people were made redundant

[Peevemor]

I've no idea how you arrive at that from what I've posted. In fact you don't seem to have understood at all.

[WhileTheChief..]

Why are we assuming we’re paying Arsenal? Is it just because a couple of people on here have said so?

You could easily argue that they needed someone to play and we agreed to, for a fee!

You really think Arsenal need a few grand off us? I don’t buy that at all. A training camp in Europe would have cost them six figures.

Much more likely that no fee went either way.

Charging fans is simply to recoup costs. It would have been cheaper if we got the 6000 in that we wanted.

[MKHIBEE]

There’s no way Hibs are selling more concessions than Hearts at those prices. A concession ticket for the Arsenal game is more expensive than we charged for an Adult ticket to the Newcastle friendly 2 years ago 🤣🤣

Here’s a fact for you, it costs the parent of a Hibs supporting child more than 3 times as much as what it costs the parent of a Hearts supporting child to take them to a match in Edinburgh this weekend.

Here's another fact. No one is forced to pay the prices asked, whether its to watch Hibs or Hearts this weekend. I accept that £26 for a pre season friendly is steep. However, if Hibs are intending the gate receipts to finance the game then it means all the season ticket money thousands of us gave to the club last season and this can be used on more important issues.

Arsenal are 100% taking in some money from this game, i can’t go into specifics but they will. That’s from Hibs, straight from the horse’s mouth (I spoke to Greg McEwan for Longbangers, which we’ll discuss on Monday’s episode.)

I’ll wait to see the accounts before making thinly veiled digs at the owner as I, like most of us, have no idea how our finances are looking just now.

And me. I cannot believe that some of our support are questioning RG and his commitment to Hibs off the back of the pricing for this game. Very bad patter imo.

Think it’s absolutely mental that Arsenal, with their Premier League money, have to take something from this match financially. Especially when the cost has to be passed on to our support.

Seen where?

[matty_f]

Think it’s absolutely mental that Arsenal, with their Premier League money, have to take something from this match financially. Especially when the cost has to be passed on to our support.

They usually ask teams for a fairly big fee to play them, in this case we’re not due them a fee (i.e. if there’s no money made, they get none) but an arrangement exists.

Apparently charging a fee is standard for the biggest teams.

[matty_f]

You'd think Arsenal would be paying us for the privilege of playing a team who are in Europe this season

So as things stand, no money will change hands?

If we got 6000 fans in and made some money, then Arsenal would be due a fee?

Its actually increased 1 pound from Barcelona, which adjusting for inflation, was more, in 2008.

That was Barcelona’s home game. They hosted it at Murrayfield, not us.

[Bridge hibs]

Does that mean that hibs were such a big attraction that they could charge so much. I bet the catalans were raging. 😉Im sure and apologies if wrong but Barcelonas tour of Scotland was in aid of UNICEF therefore funds raised from games went to that. If so then my funds went to a great cause which seems fair

[CapitalGreen]

The Barcelona friendly tickets actually went up to £35 and were considered well overpriced back then too with many season ticket holders choosing not to go. There were similar threads to this one back then too, people were probably even more angry. But lets be honest, even if the Barcelona prices were considered reasonable you are comparing a friendly against a mediocre Premier League team with one against one of greatest teams ever assembled.

[JimBHibees]

That’s great to hear, been a long time though

You've not been able to travel between UK and US though. Personally think he has been very good and like his communication and enthusiasm for the club,

Exactly.When do you get a chance as a Hibs supporter to see some off the greatest players in the world.

Always remember the announcer detailing one of the substitutions “coming on for Hibs are Filipe Morias and John Rankin,coming on for Barcelona are Thierry Henry and Samuel E’to.”

Worlds apart.

[overdrive]

Thankfully, I'm in a 5.30-6pm category. If I was in the earlier category, I'd have been struggling to get there in time from work. If Kieran Power is looking in on this thread, could you feed back to the club that they really need to be getting the allocated times in more time than they have for this fixture? After 5pm the day before is probably not ideal for a lot of folk in terms of making arrangements.

I'm good to arrive as im off work tomorrow but my mate who is going with me is working til 530!

It's a joke - I was happy to pay £26 for a ticket but if I'd known this carry on was going to happen I wouldn't have bothered.
Fine with wearing a mask inside in enclosed areas but sitting outside when distanced should be a matter of preference.

Paying to attend no more games until common sense prevails.

The staggered entry is equally over the top - we can queue when distanced in Tesco but not outside at a football ground.

Honestly not a penny more from me until this nonsense is over

I'm not sure how it's nonsense. You'll still be queueing like you do at Tesco even with the allocated arrival slot. I suspect Tesco don't get 2000 folk all arriving at the front door at the same time. Do you not realise we are still living under restrictions at the moment? It won't be forever. So you should be able to dip into your pocket and start buying tickets again soon :aok:

2000 people won't be turning up at one door all at once. Multiple turnstiles all around the stadium & people will turn up at differing times as usual.

I'm happy to observe common sense restrictions in line with other venues - you don't need to sit with a mask on inside a pub or restaurant never mind outside it.

It's way over the top given the level of risk now that a large percentage of the population has been double vaccinated.

Watched the Kelty V United game and didn't appear to be any fans wearing masks

[BlackSheep]

I guess the club aren’t taking any chances.

If there is another increase in cases due to fans getting back into stadiums then it will inevitably take longer to get bigger numbers into the games.

Fair play.

[Sir David Gray]

At Wembley during the Euros you were allowed to remove your mask when seated inside the stadium - it had to be worn at all other times. Same at Wimbledon for the tennis.

I was at Hampden for a Euro match. The rules were the same there. People were very good at distancing but most, including my some and me I’m ashamed to say, broke the rules and removed our masks when seated. Most people were also good at putting masks on when moving about.

I think Hibs would struggle to get permission, even for the small number permitted, unless they followed the rules. Other clubs will be doing the same or settle for 500 fans.

I don't mind putting it on when moving around - it's pretty normal when indoors but it wouldn't bother me for moving around inside the stadium.

I generally don't mind anything Hibs do but I suppose I've just become one of these people that I shake my head at more or less every day when reading the petty trivia that they find to complain about on fans forums :greengrin

FWIW I agree with you.

I’ve got tickets for the Raith game on Friday but I didn’t even think about all the daft restrictions that could be put in place or I might not have bothered. I know that’s maybe irrational but there you go.

Back to the Arsenal game for a second, anyone any idea of what players will likely be involved for Arsenal? Sorry if it’s been well covered already.

I was thinking it’d be their reserves but still a hell of a strong squad likely to be involved. Quite scary 😂

With us signing Macey and then arranging a friendly against them it strikes me there’s a bit of a relationship being built up there. I wonder if we could get any of their young boys on loan.

Hopefully more Dean Shiels than Boateng though.

I’m actually the opposite. Surprised how few of them I’m actually bothered for seeing keeping in mind there’s nobody hugely exciting missing either. Arsenal are a shadow of the side they used to be individually.

Aubameyang and Lacazette could be interesting but other than that the squad feels very mid to bottom end Premiership!

[H18 SFR]

So excited here to be going back to Easter Road tomorrow! 👌👌👌

[GreenCastle]

Bellerin, Omar Rekik, Rowe Smith, Aubameyang, Elneny, Willian, Taveras, Lacazin, Lacazette, Pepe and Partey are all Edinburgh according to social media. So actually still pretty strong squad considering the players missing.

Training at Oriam earlier today also.

Speaking as one with an affinity with the Gunners I’m delighted to be getting the opportunity to see them line up against the Hibs, testing as it’s all been. I’ll even buy a half and half scarf if there’s anyone bothered merching them (doubtful I know).

There’s plenty genuine talent in that squad. I’m still not 100% convinced on Arteta but another 2 or 3 quality players in the right positions and they’ll be challenging at the top again.

I noticed that as well, the digital tickets on our phone as well as the pdf copy should be okay

[Lago]

It sounds like your saying there are added checks as opposed to just scanning and entering..?

If so, what additional information is required here..?

Apologies for coming across as a grump, I'm fed up of this over the top covid policy making :rolleyes:
Well I'm grump 2, the whole covid restriction is squeezing the life out of life. Made the decision no live football for me until I can walk up to the ground present my ticket and walk in.

ID that matches the name the ticket was assigned to.

[Swedish hibee]

The match - it's been advertised on the site for a while.

Did not know this! Not been on here & there much this summer, but really excited for tonight now.

[blackpoolhibs]

Watching Arsenal tv, doing a great piece on Kieran Tierney just now.

[SteveHFC]

Mallan must not be playing tonight going by his instagram.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Can this be cast from a phone to a firestick?tia

My grump isn't with the added covid procedures as such but rather Hibs seem to make everything as difficult/confusing as possible.

Not explicitly stating there would be entry slots when the tickets went on sale (hidden in the covid rules)
Not actually stating what the entry slots are until after 5pm the day before
Referring to blocks for the entry slots when the tickets only state turnstile numbers
Stating that ID must match the name on the ticket - I assigned one to my dad and this was confirmed in the confirmation email yet the print off tickets only show my name and the e-ticket show none at all
Stating the total cost of the transaction on both tickets, creating doubt whether I've been double charged
Covid rules stating upper tier food kiosks closed/lower tier open but its not actually the case.

Have they stated anywhere about the ID matching the ticket? I’ve had a look at everything I have from my booking and can’t see it.

I’m going straight from my work and don’t have any form of ID on me.

It's the first I've heard of it as well. We've all got our STs from last season so I'm hoping that's enough

[JXM73]

Pitch lookin fantastic, dunno what to do for another hour, PA got tunes on...🕺

[Hibiza]

Any programs tonight ?

[Oscar T Grouch]

According to the sheet it is photo ID required

Sounds like what I’m kind of expecting in about half an hour from now 👍

[Billy Whizz]

Think they are being emailed

I think some folk are getting a bit carried away and worrying about nothing. If you’ve got your ticket on your phone or printed you’ll get in. I’m certainly not taking my passport or anything along with me.

You’ll be fine.

No ID asked for...

Sat in the lower main stand - alarming number of people choosing to ignore the rules regarding mask wearing. Justified; some will
Be exempt but not many of those spotted I wouldn’t imagine.

Good to see young Bradley get his chance today, highly rated by the staff at ER!

Hope he does well!

I hope the stewards have a word. Can’t stand that behaviour.

Surprised Doig doesn’t even make the bench. No sign of Mallan either which I’m guessing means he’s away to Turkey. Doesn’t look the strongest at all in terms of depth in a couple of areas.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

When's the pre-match programme start? Suggests 5pm on my screen but nowt as yet.

[Brightside]

No checking of ID. Really easy to enter.

[SteveHFC]

Available on Curtis Sport website mate.

Feels so good being back at Easter Road.

Same...

[3pm]

Brilliant to be back in!!

[hibsfan]

Why is it alarming?

Fairly obvious really. We’ve been told we have to and i am sure we’d all quite fancy getting home safely. If they’re all exempt - fair play… but I’d put money on them not being!

[KWJ]

Hibernians already 1 down to the margerines.

Agree with all that,wonder if Doig is out because transfer pending ??

Seen it’s available on arsenal too which is a shame, thought Hibs could have got some cash from arsenal fans

Maybe they are splitting the PPV profits? I reckon Hibs will be supplying them with the link.

Hibs 2 Arsenal 2.... arsenal scored twice in last 15 mins...not good enough hibs

Turnbull
Reilly

[JohnMcM]

No injuries tonight would be good.

[04Sauzee]

No injuries tonight would be good.

Nisbet looks like he's injured in the warm up. Hope he's ok to start.

[overdrive]

No injuries tonight would be good.

Looks like Nisbet has injured himself in the warmup

[JohnMcM]

Mr Donnelly has sounded more genuinely enthusiastic and interested in these first few minutes than the borefest did all last season.

[Mikey_1875]

Think JR said Doig was badly affected by covid and similar to Doidge wouldn’t be rushed back

Why no Gullan?

If you are logged and paid, you should have video too mate.

[Stuart93]

JDH must be injured as well, hopefully not another injury prone player added to the squad
