Capacity for next THURSDAY?

[Smartie]

NHS.inform

You can order a hard copy of your vaccine certificate or take a screenshot on your phone.

You will need your unique code that is on your 2nd vaccination letter.

I didn’t receive any letters - I got mine early through being a healthcare worker. So early, the systems that were put in place later were in their infancy and I had to arrange it all over the phone and it was a bit of a pest to do.

Somehow I’ll figure it out…

But if you logon to the site, put in your details and dates of your vaccinations, you should be able to get it

[Smartie]

Good stuff.

Thanks everyone, I’ll see how I get on.

[Mikey]

The club has clearly lost patience and is putting an initial 2000 tickets on sale today at 3pm. More will follow if allowed.

[Stuart93]

2000 tickets going on sale this afternoon. Hibs are STILL waiting for the council to confirm if they can get more through the door.

Absolute disgrace they’re still waiting for confirmation from the council a few days before the game

[CockneyRebel]

Log in or register on the vaccination site. You can request a paper copy or rake a screenshot.

Or, if like me, you don't have a smartphone you can print it out from a pc/laptop. Not so easy to carry around but I put mine in a plastic flimsy and it folds to fit my pocket. This saved me waiting for the post.

[Mikey]

As things stand anyone buying at 3pm won't know whether they need to be fully vaccinated or take a test beforehand.

[bingo70]

Interesting the club are thanking the Council for helping them work through the application.

I wonder if they’ve not outright denied the 9,000 but want us to alter or amend plans slightly to allow that to happen?

Sounds like the club and council are working together though which is surely a positive thing?

[Big_Franck]

Tickets on sale initially to ST holders only and priced at £20. Tickets available in groups of 1 to 4.

Is there certain sections that have certain group sizes? When I bought tickets for the Arsenal game there was apparently seats in groups of 3 but I could only find groups of 2.

[Since452]

Would love to go to this. Desperate to see my team again. Hopefully the council/club announce something today

[JohnM1875]

The twitter post refers you to the same code of conduct guidelines for the Arsenal game. So guessing that means no proof of flow gets to get in? Just guessing mind you.

There are probably one or two people at the council trying to help Hibs get as many people in as possible but are bouncing back and forward between Hibs & the SG.

Again, this is a first-time situation under new levels, etc. and, while it's obviously not ideal, there's more to be managed by the various authorities than just Hibs game on Thursday night.

[Big_Franck]

It doesn't say unfortunately. The news update on the official site doesn't state which stands the tickets will be available in.

If it goes to a general sale (unlikely I'd think) the tickets will be £24 to non ST holders.

[04Sauzee]

Hoping to try and get 4 tickets 👀👀
I'm guessing there is nothing about concessions? Just a flat price for all?

[Hibby70]

Tickets on sale initially to ST holders only and priced at £20. Tickets available in groups of 1 to 4.

No concessions in the initial batch then?

[Hibby70]

£10 for ppv

[Big_Franck]

No concessions in the initial batch then?

Yeah, seems like one price for all. No mention of concessions on the update anyway.

[Callum_62]

European game is cheaper than an arsenal friendly?

Ron out.

Not great when 3 out of my group of 4 are concessions!

Hopefully they come into play with the next batch. But I'd be hacked off if I'd bought 4 at £20 then found out I'd overspent

[CallumLaidlaw]

Think that probably shows that they needed to agree a certain price with Arsenal or that they’ve learned from the slow sales of that game. Or both.

[wookie70]

Pity there are no concessions and I can see why the club are putting the tickets out. I hope there has been thought given to how tickets will be allocated for games the ST covers. Surely it will not be first come first serve and it needs to include a way of keeping families, particularly those at the same address, together. These games could have been used as test cases

Or maybe they're confident of getting more in, but don't know yet exactly how many?

I imagine failing to sell out the Arsenal game solely to season ticket holders was a bit of a wake up call that they were taking the piss with the pricing.

[tamig]

There is nothing to indicate that proof of vaccination or evidence of a negative test will be needed. The Code of Conduct is referenced and there is nothing at all in there about tests or vaccination status. As things stand at this moment.

[Bishop Hibee]

The Council has always had it in for Hibs over the years. Shambolic from them.

[tamig]

They were spread about. The bigger groups will have gone by the time you got on. It was only 2s and singles by the time I remembered to log in.

There wasn’t any folk in groups of 3 in the section of the west lower that I was in when I was actually at the game so I don’t think there would have been any sold there.

[calumhibee1]

Although it doesn't seem to have been an issue for other councils.

Yup.

There’s no excuses. It’s ridiculous.

[h1bs4life]

I couldn't tell you tbh. I was in there too and sure I saw a few groups of three. I have to admit I never even looked at tickets for the East so maybe the bigger groups were all in there.

[JXM73]

Were few groups of 3s in west lower where i was... 2nd block,near south stand..

[Billy Whizz]

Presuming the 2000 will be the same seats as sold for the Arsenal game?

[calumhibee1]

Maybe I’ve just not spotted any then! Cheers all. Hopefully get 3 together this time.

We must have a few gooners in our support then, weirdos... one dressed in head to toe red n white...

[JimBHibees]

Yup.

There’s no excuses. It’s ridiculous.

Tend to agree Aberdeen and Celtic knew on Friday seems ridiculous this wasn't sorted out especially for a game we have known about for months.

[GreenCastle]

It’s not like they haven’t had time to sort this. We knew the Europa dates a while back. Absolute incompetence.

Also would be useful to know what tickets Hibs are actually putting on sale - which areas of the stadium etc ? Surely not that hard to let us know !!

If Hibs knew they could sell 2000 why didn’t they sell them last week ??

Assume they were hoping for confirmation before now of the total number of seats and decided to put up the minimum they would get.

[Ronniekirk]

I assume we are holding out for same as Aberdeen 5 ,000
There is no logic for it to be less or we are being discriminated against

Hibs couldn't put 2000 on sale until today as there was no guarantee we went to level 0, imagine the uproar if hibs sold 2000 tickets only for SG to delay lifting restrictions..

There is though. We’re not playing at Pittodrie - their ground will have unique features that will have to be worked around, like ours will.

My work opened up a year or so. Thousands of places, similar but with distinct features all had to submit their own “risk assessments” in order to open up. Some still haven’t opened.

In all likelihood the venues will be similar, with a similar result. But there are more reasons than “discrimination” for that not to be the case.

[GreenCastle]

We weren’t in level 0 last week and sold 2000 tickets for the Arsenal game?

Obviously sounds like Hibs were waiting for green light for more but nothing stopping these tickets being sold earlier.

[Sir David Gray]

Last week we were given special dispensation to allow 2,000 fans in for that one match after initially asking for 6,000.

As Edinburgh was in level 2 until today the maximum allowed inside Easter Road without the council/Scottish Government allowing more was 500.

I might be wrong but it sounds like you are taking an opportunity to have a pop at Hibs. What advantage would there have been in selling 2000 tickets last week then going on to sell a further batch this week? Any advantage at all - other than folk knowing a wee bit ahead of others that they were ok and had managed to secure a ticket.

No pop at hibs, hibs could not sell tickets until either area moved to level 0 or council gave permission... one happened the other still dragging their feet...

We have a bigger capacity than there’s do we not You are out in the open air
Arrangements in place fir fans to arrive early wear masks etc
It’s summer time when we are told outdoor events pose minimal risk if we can’t get 5 000 fans in it beggars belief imo

I’m on record on this thread talking about how much I hate Edinburgh council but for a limited period only I’m going to defend them here.

They could have rejected our application on Thursday/Friday last week and nobody would have batted an eyelid.

To me it sounds like they are working with us to overcome the problems that would grant us a larger attendance. Time will tell if that’s that case or not but it would have been easy to reject the application last week, let’s face it there’s not a lot of transparency with this decision making process.

[Hibs90]

Where do you want me to start? I could go on forever but I'll keep it related to this.


Taking this long over an application that was made a while ago. Celtic and Aberdeen got an increase and a response within a couple of days. But I expect nothing less from them, they're a shower.

Do you know when the applications were made? How many different applications and for what? And to what departments?

Do they have a book of rules like the Building Regulatins to stick to or are they discovering the same as everyone else how things are meant to work in specific situations?

They could well be incompetent or even anti-hibs dicks. Or maybe they're just people trying to do their job and help Hibs (as the club have said).

I prefer to know what I'm speaking about before chucking insults.

I’ve said it before but whatever they decide, it will likely also apply to hearts league game against Celtic next weekend (give or take depending on access issues etc)

[1875Sean]

We will play either Gżira United of Malta or HNK Rijeka of Croatia in the third qualifying round Trophy

Haven’t we played Rijeka recently?

They will also have to deal with applications from HoMFC for games at Tynie against ICT on Sunday and Celtic the following weekend. These will have to be judged by the same criteria so I can’t see low numbers at Easter Road and full house at the Budge dome.

At least I hope not, don’t need a blood pressure pike :greengrin

And I spent years dealing with the City of Edinburgh Council on all sorts of applications, including environmental health & public safety.

Yes there are some officious eedjits but the majority are normal people who want to do their job properly and are generally pretty accommodating.

Hibs should put fans behind goals to help team also.

[CMurdoch]

Rijeka Beat them 4-0 on aggregate, would imagine they are the team to beat

Rijeka won both legs 2-0 against Aberdeen 2 years ago.
Hopefully they are not so good now.
Dangerman Colak plays in Greece now but that is the extent of my knowledge of their players.
Current dangerman is probably 28 year old Josip Drmic who is on loan from Norwich. He previously played in Germany and has 35 Swiss caps.
Rijeka finished 3rd in last seasons league.
Ojo being sent off after 20 minutes of the home leg obviously didn't help.

[JimBHibees]

Rijeka won both legs 2-0 2 years ago.
Hopefully they are not so good now.

Finished 3rd last season distant from Zagreb but above our only friends Hadjuk Split. Will be decent.

It seems quite common with lots of events - maybe someone with inside knowledge of how ticketing works will know.

Hibs only have 10,000 ST holders (I doubt they will all log on to get tickets for the game..it's not like it's thousands trying to log in to get tickets). :confused:

I understand the point you're making, but it has been done this way for years so it's not a new thing they've introduced.

Also, if everyone was in at once you'd have 2 issues;

1) Potential site crash
2) People could potentially select the same tickets at the same time. This reduces the risk of that happening and people being kicked by mistake.

I forgot so I am away down at 1000+ in the queue. While the system is ridiculous in that it means you have to dedicate more time than should be needed for something as simple as a ticket purchase at least it now has a number in the queue and also an expected time for getting to the front.

Seriously , please help us out here. We really don’t want to be spending time deleting posts and handing out warnings.

That's fine. But there was no personal abuse in my post. I'd have said the same thing whether the user lived in Edinburgh or the moon.

[tamig]

Those councils just said no.

Edinburgh council could have done the same. Seems to me they’re trying to work with us to get the best opportunity to get more people in.

Doesn’t sit right with me defending them BTW.

They didn't agree to the original requests but still granted them more than the base 2000 though. I'd expect the discussions between us and CEC are much the same.

[dp00]

Looks like sold out can see them

Has anyone successfully purchased? I selected 3 seats but they're not in my basket.

[JXM73]

There are concession tickets available

[The Spaceman]

Buzzing - HibernianVerse and I taking in our first Hibs game since COVID-19. Cannot wait. :hibees

[tamig]

My partner is a Council employee and the amount of abuse she gets from morons is unreal. These are just real people, from Edinburgh, trying to get on with a job in difficult circumstances on stupidly tight budgets.

Maybe the budgets are tight due to the cash wasted on vanity projects. My cash.

[04Sauzee]

Has anyone successfully purchased? I selected 3 seats but they're not in my basket.

Every time I try to assign tickets to my basket there is an error unable to add seats to basket

[bringbackbenny]

I was 1063 in the queue and just managed to complete for a single ticket

[CraigHibee]

Managed to get on and get one, looking forward to it.

[hibee_girl]

I was 565 in the queue and got two tickets no problem

[calumhibee1]

Groups of 3 available in area 08 of the west.

Couldn’t find them anywhere else although I stopped looking once I found that one.

[wookie70]

How do you get two together. Not working for me

[calumhibee1]

How do you get two together. Not working for me

You need to find a pod of two and buy all the tickets in the pod. You can’t use a pod of 3 and obviously you can’t use a single seat.

[marinello59]

Aye, I got three no bother.
Good luck to everybody else trying today, I think there will be more on sale later and pretty much everyone who wants to go will be there.

[04Sauzee]

I have 2 in a basket struggling to get another 2 together , couldn't get a 4 or even a 3

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Purchased without any issues:thumbsup:

[Chorley Hibee]

Got one!

First Hibs game since Pittodrie in March 2020.

Feeling quite emotional.

[Onion]

Wsa 1020 in queue and got one ! Plenty left, as far as I could see.

[GreenCastle]

Got one.

Was trying for x2 but every time I selected x1 then another it said unable - then refreshed and seemed it sold those seats / they weren't available anymore.

Looks pretty much sold out of the initial tickets - few singles left though - hopefully Hibs get more.

[Craig_HFC]

4 secured, that was seamless

[JohnM1875]

Purchased eventually. Kept getting an error when choosing a seat so just had to go for three singles in the end.

Senior prices available as well £12.

Easy enough in the end.

[wookie70]

After praising the new system that is the first time I haven't got a ticket I wanted. It wouldn't let me purchase two together. tried for over 5 minutes and then none left for even a single ticket. When will we get ticketing to a reasonable level.

[Blurhibee]

I got mine over the phone was very quick and easy 👍🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

[007]

Got one!

Ditto, for all 3 sentences.

[tamig]

All gone now by the look of it. Selected a couple to put in the basket and got the warning message. Refreshed page and all gone now.

[Hibs90]

Oh fantastic. Can’t get on to purchase a ticket because I don’t have the ‘sufficient privileges’ despite the fact I renewed for next season. Even if it got fixed I’m probably now going to miss out.

Crap.

[hibby6270]

Rather than faff around trying to choose seats (tried that twice to be told not available!), I did the “choose seats for me” option and got allocated seats together in West Upper South instead of West Upper North where my STs are. Not to bothered about that. Got tickets. That’s the main thing.

[MacBean]

Got in but all sold out

[Billy Whizz]

Looks like it’s sold out

[GreenCastle]

Well 2000 tickets sold in 15 mins.

[007]

All gone now by the look of it. Selected a couple to put in the basket and got the warning message. Refreshed page and all gone now.

Hopefully you'll get another chance if the council don't stitch us up.

Joke. Turned up at 3pm on the dot as advertised to find I was already 1500+ in the queue. By the time I got in there were about half a dozen single tickets left. I need a pod of 2. So nowt. Now we need to run the release of any extra tickets fairly.

[JohnM1875]

Sorry to the folks who didn't manage to get a ticket. Surely more will be available after the Council decision though 🤞

Unfair because you didn’t get one?

[GreenCastle]

I think once you get past the queue if you take too long the seats will be sold / disappear hence why many couldn't get 2 together.

For the Arsenal game it was 2000 over the West and couple blocks for the East - does that mean we will have more fans in the West for this one ?

[brythehibby]

Logged on at about 2.55. Got in about 3.10 and got 2 tickets. Have surgery the following week ruling me out of any games for a while so absolutely delighted to be going back for this. Hopefully more tickets to come for those that missed out.

[DIXIHIBS]

Not great. 1241 in queue, went down quickly but as soon as it was my turn. timed out. Meant to get 10 mins once i was in. Now sold out. Hope they get more tickets.

[oconnors_strip]

Hopefully, none for me brutal

I was in and selecting my dad’s when it then said sorry sold out 😩

[banchoryhibs]

Has anyone successfully purchased? I selected 3 seats but they're not in my basket.

I got 2. It initially looked like the seats were sold out but I tried the seat self selection option. My first couple of choices said seat unavailable then I got lucky. There is an empty seat that's not for purchase between the 2 seats but I guess that's the way they are implementing the covid distancing rules.

First time back in the ground - can't wait :flag:

[JXM73]

I got my ticket easy enough, one seat away from my season ticket... amazing if sold out already... really hope we get at least another 2k and everyone gets in...

[Broken Gnome]

Short of better detail around what's still available, which I'm guessing is impossible given how often tickets are in and out of baskets, what else can Hibs really do here in a first come first served demand-outstrips-supply sale?

[West Upper]

Not impressed had 2 in my basket, clicked checkout got blank white page. The page reloaded and all tickets sold out.

[noucampos]

I was comfortably within time for booking tickets but every time I tried to book a second ticket for my son got told I couldn't do it - even tried to buy single tickets nearby. Logged out and logged back in and of course it's all sold out. May well have been a problem at my end but if not they really need to organise this better. If - as seems likely - these ridiculous limits on attendance continue then it's time to institute some kind of ballot of season ticket numbers. Anything's better than throwing my laptop at the wall.

[3pm]

Unfair because you didn’t get one?

Your response is unfair.

He's perfectly entitled to express his frustration. Unless I am mistaken there was no reference to being able to join a queue before 3pm.

[staunchhibby]

Got two tickets.Relatively easy in queuing system.Good luck to others

[wookie70]

I tried that as well but it didn't work or perhaps the 6 or 7 pods that would have suited me were already sold.

It will be done in exactly the same way. If people use their initiative to give them a head start it doesn't mean it's unfair.

[nellio]

Managed to eventually get 2 together but bit of a nightmare picking the 2 blue dots then getting told they weren't available! Why show them then!!!!

[DIXIHIBS]

Once the season is up and running and if there is still restricted crowds, i hope hibs come up with a decent system where everyone gets a a game on some sort of rotation. They cant have a scramble on a first come basis when people have paid 400 bucks for a season.

[Sir David Gray]

Has anyone gone down the email route for disabled tickets and received a reply yet?

[Alan62]

Unfair because you didn’t get one?

No, not at all. The system was run fairly (apart from saying they'd be on sale from 3pm but opening the queue at 2.45pm which is just annoying). The email from the club says that if there are more tickets approved by the Council, they will 'add these tickets to the system for purchase as and when possible'. To me, that creates a possible problem in that people won't know when they become available and may miss out. Otherwise we'll just be sitting with the site open hitting refresh all day long.

What would be fair would be to say exactly when the additional tickets would be on sale and when the queueing system would be opened.

[SteveHFC]

Has anyone gone down the email route for disabled tickets and received a reply yet?

Have just emailed them myself mate. Wouldn't let me buy my personal assistant a ticket despite having the correct details in my ticket account. :aok:

[bingo70]

Delighted tk have got 3 tickets. I thought the queuing system worked really well , only criticism was that i had no idea that was a thing. Maybe my fault but until I had read it on here I was expecting to just log on at 3 and hope for the best.

Maybe if they’d announced the queue opening time it would have defeated the purpose?

Very difficult to get 3 seats together so we’ve just got one in the row behind.

[7Hero]

How else can they do it ?

It's run by Ticketmaster, the leading ticket agent in THE WORLD. It is the latest technology, their is no fairer or better way of doing it.

They have 20,000 seats and can only sell 2,000 to what 10,000 ST holders - impossible scenario to please everyone who wants a ticket.

Of course it's not going to be ideal but it cannot be improved and their should no criticism aimed at the club. Blaim the government, edinburgh city council they deserve all the criticism, but the club did only what it could do.

[wookie70]

That was my experience too. I have been lucky with previous scrambles but the system really is shocking. They need to explain why it wouldn't let at least three people on this thread not select two tickets together. Do we have to pre-define a pod or is it just a crap system. Hopefully there will be another ballot and another waste of precious time getting tickets.

[Sir David Gray]

Have just emailed them myself mate. Wouldn't let me buy my personal assistant a ticket despite having the correct details in my ticket account. :aok:

Cheers, I gave them an email at 12, hoping it still gets accepted even although it was before 3 but not heard back yet.

It will be done in exactly the same way. If people use their initiative to give them a head start it doesn't mean it's unfair.

You shouldn't have to 'use your initiative' though. It's just bad communications. If I am told that something starts at 3pm and I turn up at 3pm, that should be when it starts. If they said the queue was opening at 2.45, then I would have been there at 2.45. Mind you, you'd have used your initiative and turned up at 2.30.

By the way, the way, Thursday's game is a 19.45 kick off but the ref's going to get it started at 19.30 just because he fancies it. Better get there nice and early. :wink:

[matty_f]

My experience was really good, joined the queue, got an email to say it was my turn, went back in and used the “find tickets” option, got one for me and my son in the West Upper. Took a couple of minutes and was virtually hassle free.

Seems a real contrast to some others’ experiences.

[GreenCastle]

Why don't they just tell fans the queue starts earlier?

The using the initiative thing isn't really a good excuse for advertising 3pm then folk log on at 3pm or just before and still miss out.

They obviously know this is what happens so why mislead people - whether it's ticketmaster or Hibs.

I got a ticket but I don't think it's right - you advertise 3pm and then start the sale / queue then or you say queue will open at 2.45pm and fans log in then.

[Ronniekirk]

Not impressed had 2 in my basket, clicked checkout got blank white page. The page reloaded and all tickets sold out.

It’s a bummer when that happens as you think it’s certain you have got tickets only to then be disappointed

It's a tough one for those that got into the system only to lose out on tickets. Ideally, Hibs/TM should have set up a reserve list for those folk and run a pre-sale for extra tickets post-EDC approval. Bit tough having to start all over again, perhaps with bigger demand next time ?

Had same issue I think that someone was allocating same seat as you. Had that issue when trying to add the 4. Ended up adding the 2 sets of 2?

[H18 SFR]

Ticketmaster/Hibs don’t write the script to start a queue at xx:xx time - it is a failsafe to stop the site crashing. The queue only transpires because users are logging in ‘early’.

He said it was a joke and should be fair the next time so I’m taking from that he thought it was unfair.

Has anyone said the queue actually opened earlier?

[gegs70]

Hopefully a good number will go on sale soon

[h1bs4life]

Managed to get 4 , let them select any 4 seats for me. Didn't take long , just looked at the PDF tickets and one of them meant for mate has my surname on it but his customer reference on it.
Buzzing for the game a few beers before and maybe 1 or 2 after . Working from home will come in handy on Friday :flag::flag:

[Green Man]

I got an email from Hibs at 1508 saying that tickets were going on sale at 1500.

[Sas_The_Hibby]

Same for me too. Wouldn't let me select more than 2 seats in a pod of 3 or 4. I finally got 4 separate seats but was then told I'd selected too many seats and had to delete some (didn't say how many). Tried to delete one seat and lost them all, seats then all sold out.

Also was anyone aware beforehand that there was a queuing system? I only found out by accident.

I've emailed them too.....

[Sir David Gray]

I will phone them soon if i don't hear anything soon. :aok:

Ideal, hope you get good news.

[Mikey_1875]

Worth refreshing as tickets must be getting timed out of peoples baskets. Just picked up one for west upper just now. I used the find seat function rather than the interactive map.

[GreenCastle]

Agreed - it's a football club for supporters who pump £££ into it every season.

If this is the norm then surely ticketmaster / Hibs could alert fans this happens rather than annoying many who logged on at the advertised time :agree:

[Ringothedog]

I’ll blame the club when they don’t have me down as a ST holder despite the fact I am

Have you contacted the club to get that sorted ?

[Helensburghhibs]

Something is fundamentaly wrong with the way you have to select a pod. A single seat next 2 in from the aisle available but you can't buy 2 there and use the aisle seat? Yes I'm frustrated as I didn't get one but surely there's a better way of doing it than letting you add one but not a second and there being loads of single seats. Next time I think the best way will be to buy 2 singles even if not together then move the wee man next to me on the night. I also feel for people who can't drop everything in The middle of the working day to get tickets.a ballot would have been much fairer. Hopes resting with EC now.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

It was only single seats when I managed to get on.

Jumped about to try and get 2 together for me and the wee man and within seconds it was sold out.

Bit hacked off as I was really looking forward to seeing the euro game.

Hopefully get another crack at getting tickets.

[Hibernian Verse]

I’ll blame the club when they don’t have me down as a ST holder despite the fact I am

That doesn't sound right. Log in to your eticketing and see if you can see your transaction for your season ticket. I had a problem like this 2 years ago.

[wookie70]

My experience was really good, joined the queue, got an email to say it was my turn, went back in and used the “find tickets” option, got one for me and my son in the West Upper. Took a couple of minutes and was virtually hassle free.

Seems a real contrast to some others’ experiences.

The log in system appeared much improved. The actual buying of tickets was just a flurry of error messages for me. It may be that it was caused by me trying to buy the same pod as someone else and being beaten to the punch but it happened at least 4 times and that was with page refreshes etc. and a visit to choose seats for me. Never missed out before but I'll just look to buy a single ticket if more are released and my daughter will miss out. Too risky relying on a Hibs system at any point. They are all pretty shocking in my view and I say that having never missed out previously.

[wookie70]

.... and as if by magic tickets have now started to appear. I managed to get one this time and will try for two if there is another release. Worth another look if you are after a single ticket

[Hibs90]

Have you contacted the club to get that sorted ?

I have now that I’m aware. Just need to hope the council see sense now but every chance I’ll miss out due to no fault of my own which is a bit naff.

[Mikey]

Keep checking back folks as tickets are reappearing, presumably as they've fallen out of people's baskets. I just got 2 single adult tickets, 1 in section 02 and 1 in section 14.

[Hibernian Verse]

Do you turn up to the turnstiles at 3pm on a normal matchday and expect to be in your seat before the ref blows for kick off?

Everyone and their dug should've know there would be an online queue as there has been for many years now. Unless you've never tried to buy a derby ticket, I don't understand how people could be surprised today when there are 10000 STHs and 2000 tickets.

[Callum_62]

Clubs opened at midnight in England last night.

Folk were queing from 8pm

Mayve it's just because I've bought tickets online before but I'd always assume the queing system applies

For anyone that got two or more tickets together how did you do it? Whenever I clicked it gave me an error message. Do you purchase one and then go back for the second, do you predefine, somehow, that you want two or more, did you use the packages option or did you CTRL click or some other witchcraft.

Total shambles. Joined queue at 2.58 and was 1300 in queue WTF?

Then thrown out when my turn and tried to select seats and nothing available.

Then went back into a queue and same thing happened. Found two seat (two blue dots) but it wouldn’t let me secure both (for son and I - both season ticket holders and account linked). Just got error message. Then realised at 3.22 all sold out. Use iPhone and windows pc an no difference.

Be better of phoning

[Bangkok Hibby]

Got one!

First Hibs game since Pittodrie in March 2020.

I gave up trying to get 3 together as was having the same issue. I knew if I spent too long trying to get 3 beside each other I would have lost my place in the queue.

Eventually got 2 in one row and 1 in the row behind. It’s directly the row behind so I don’t see how that’ll be 2m distancing but I’m not fussed about that.

Did the exact same thing. Was struggling to get tickets next to each other. But as soon as I tried three singles got them paid for within a minute.

My account also says I’m a season ticket holder for season 20/21. Underneath it says current season ticket holder.
I got into my account at 3:16 but couldn’t buy a ticket. I’m not sure if tickets were already were sold out or if the TO have cocked up.
I renewed on the 7th May in person at the ticket office.

I was in the same boat to the point that I was doubting my purchase had actually gone through.

Though the clearest info is around being a 20/21 STH, if you go to account activity/history or whatever then there was a 2021 purchase listed towards the end of June. Might be the same here?

Pure evil vindictiveness by the council who are supposed to represent all of Edinburgh
Different story if our name did not suggest a link to Ireland or we played in a colour that was not green!

Make sure to remove your tinfoil hat before going out in the sun.

[B.H.F.C]

Was in by about 15:05 and it was apparent, quite quickly, I was wasting my time looking for four.

Got two twos within minutes though.

Although I got a ticket, I still don’t think it should just be a first come, first serve type of thing. There will be loads of folk who wouldn’t even have known they were going on sale and wouldn’t have been able to get online at three o’clock. I think we should have been doing something to ensure season ticket holders get the same opportunity to attend games whilst attendance is limited.

Did anyone get an email from Hibs today / this morning ?

I got one at 3.08pm with some updates and tickets going on sale at 3pm ??!

[Brooster]

This is horrendously bad patter from the council.

Aye me too, the email arrived just after I bought mine. Very poor.

[SteveHFC]

They are more interested in building student flats/apartments than anything else.

[GonzoReturns]

Mines arrived at 15.30!! Expect better.

Weird state of mind

[Sir David Gray]

This is horrendously bad patter from the council.

Now after 5pm and no update, a little more than 72 hours before kick off.

Disgrace.

Does seem very odd this game has been known about for weeks.

[007]

Maybe time to start Tweeting the council to ask what they're playing at.

[overdrive]

I wasn't hopeful of getting in anyway as I was in a meeting and was keeping an eye on it during moments I wasn't speaking. By the time I did get in though, everything was gone.

I know the Club are being messed around by the Council but there are frustrating things within the Club's control that should really be managed better, e.g. giving as much notice as possible. Surely a decision to sell the initial 2000 could have been made before it was? Why do emails come out notifying people of the sale after its sold out? This is on top of the issues last week, e.g. the button to make payment being greyed out for some people, having to continuously refresh the page until it randomly appears, arrival times being notified late in the day, etc.

[Sioux]

Maybe the council was unaware that you had given them a 5.00pm deadline.

[Rick Rude]

You get emails from Hibs? I've not had an email from them in years despite being set up to receive them.

[overdrive]

I think his point (at least in part) is that given its after 5pm, it is now unlikely we will get any update today, meaning it will be into tomorrow which isn't leaving much time, especially when Glasgow Council and Aberdeen Council have managed to reach a decision in a more timely fashion.

[Pete70]

I managed to get a single ticket in the West Lower at 16:24. So I must be a ST holder for this season even though my account says 20/21 season.

You’d have thought it could have been discussed weeks ago and different numbers considered based on the lockdown status at the time. Then it could have just been a case of rubber stamping the allowable capacity at the start of this week.

[Billy Whizz]

He said it was a joke and should be fair the next time so I’m taking from that he thought it was unfair.

Has anyone said the queue actually opened earlier?

It probably didn’t open before 3pm, but the earlier you logged on, the earlier and easier you got a ticket
I was around 580 in the queue, logged on around 2.45pm or so and got on around 3.10 or so Think that says it all.
Surely the system shouldn’t allow you to click on a green dot, when someone else already has
I’m disappointed to not get a ticket, but pleased for everyone who did get one
That’s life unfortunately

Very good. :aok:

[email protected]

I had this problem too for a while, add the above email address to your contacts list, should maybe let them get through
They said my email address was blocking them, but they didn’t tell me about this until I was looking for my match day programmes
Good luck

Correct, I thought that my point was fairly obvious to be honest but thanks for expanding on it.

[davhibby]

At this point I’m not sure if the council are aware the game actually takes place on Thursday. It’s not exactly unreasonable for people to expect that they could have come to a decision by now

Exactly. Shows the contempt they hold football fans in. Now if the decision was to open a new shopping centre, give Murrayfield a safety certificate or anything to do with their precious Festival I bet they'd be working around the clock.

I didn't get one either Billy......bring back loyalty points I say!!:agree: We could have been totally relaxed and got our tickets instead of in my case stressed to the max. My recollection is that there was just over 500 of us with maximum points when the scheme was stopped. I wonder if the new regime will reward loyalty now that Leanne has gone to pastures new....
Like yourself I say well done to everyone who got tickets including a few in our group :aok:

[tamig]

Full stadiums in England, a Grand Prix practically sold out, but we’ve got to wait on a few cardigan wearing Hearts fans at the council deciding on whether we can have more fans in?

The council know better than the medical experts down south aye? Total farce.

Politicians are medical experts now?

Get that bag of spuds off your shoulder begorrah.

[H18 SFR]

I think it’s safe to say there is a decent amount of support for Edinburgh council on this thread - maybe I’ve been a little hasty in criticising them.

[h1bs4life]

For anyone that got two or more tickets together how did you do it? Whenever I clicked it gave me an error message. Do you purchase one and then go back for the second, do you predefine, somehow, that you want two or more, did you use the packages option or did you CTRL click or some other witchcraft.

When you try to buy tickets instead of going into choose my own seats go into Packages and Find seats for me section
Opens up asking how many tickets you require Adult tickets , kid tickets etc.
Leave select an area at All Areas unless you want a specific stand ( not as many options for getting them together ) then click on Find Tickets
Used that got allocated 4 tickets straight away in West Lower then you assign them to people on your network and pay for them.
Even let me amend one of the tickets to senior for my dad.

Hopefully that makes sense , if you go into to your account and try and buy tickets for the game although none available you should be able to see what I am talking about .

[tamig]

I managed to get a single ticket in the West Lower at 16:24. So I must be a ST holder for this season even though my account says 20/21 season.

i think it says 20/21 for everyone just now. Sure it was the same last season at the start.
