Capacity for next THURSDAY?

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Anyone else get a ticket, but cant add to Google/Apple Pay? Just saying 'something went wrong try again'.

[Iggy Pope]

Got my tickets but reading this thread it’s just poor. My mate couldn’t get logged in to the queue and by the time he did it was into 1500 in line. Too late.
Hoping for news soon for the rest to try again and good luck to all of you. Two clear days left. Anyone defending this crock of jobby (on all sides) is either at it or simply trolling fellow Hibbies feeling a bit of frustration and pain at this debacle.

[tamig]

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:

Great how folk come up with solutions to problems which, by some kind of magic, seem to suit their own personal situation. Coincidence or what?

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.They could also be messing Hibs about (although Hibs are saying otherwise), but until we know it's a bit daft shouting and bawling.

[h1bs4life]

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.

Its common knowledge going back years what the council think of Hibs.
Maybe someone with inside knowledge could tell us why it is taking Edinburgh Council so long to make a decision and what is so different between them and Glasgow and Aberdeen.
I am sure if it was there favoured team it would be sorted by now , they certainly bent over backwards for the unfinished stand

[wookie70]

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 ??!

I got an email at 3.08pm too as did my daughter. The comms at ER are pretty poor and like many Comms teams they seem to concentrate on style over substance. Just tell me the news I need in black and white Arial 11pt and I will be fine. Not even a mention of the concessions despite saying what the ticket prices aware. Really poor imo.

I notice there was a ticket Information tab when buying tickets. I clicked it to see what it said and it said nothing, that may have cost me two seats together but probably not as that seemed impossible on my browser. We may be a big club but we are totally tin pot in terms of ticketing. It was LD's blind spot and it hasn't improved since she has left.

[offshorehibby]

[Pete70]

Mine won't download to my Apple wallet. The PDF attachment opens fine and the QR code on the ticket is clear so hopefully that will scan ok at the turnstile.

[wookie70]

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 .

Thanks, I tried that after failing to do it choosing seats manually but must have been too late. The choices there were confusing too as it asked what stand for each ticket then, as you said, it had an all area option after that. You have to choose an area for the ticket and the all area doesn't override that choice as when I got a single ticket it showed none available and then one came up when I changed the stand. Tried that again and the same despite there being tickets in other stands. It is similar to the last few seasons where fans are just grabbing any tickets as the system is so unreliable.

[3pm]

This will take the overall capacity up to 4,700 for the match.

The Club would like to thank the City of Edinburgh Council for their assistance in working through the application."

I think the first line of that probably indicates there is valid and reasonable reasons for what we have been given

[hibbyfraelibby]

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.

The Arsenal game took place with Edinburgh in Level 2 and a 500 legal crowd capacity which on application was uplifed to 2000 and not 9000 sought. Think they double to 4k.

[04Sauzee]

Pittodrie holds more than ER

Not that much bigger that they can get almost an extra 1k into Pittodrie.

It's either the council or stadium layout.

It is, but we’ve been permitted 23% capacity, whereas Aberdeen got 26.7%. Not sure if the fact that their seating is partially uncovered might have counted in their favour.

So 23 percent of our total capacity

No idea if we could even use the full stadium given the changing room situation

:top marks
Scottish football is one of only a few places under such strict conditions in the UK.

There’s been zero medical evidence as to explain why.

Apparently it’s nothing to do with Edinburgh council, the Scottish government or Hibs though, so we just need to suck it up.

I hope everyone who's getting upset has received all the vaccinations they are entitled to. The sooner those numbers improve, the easier it will be to make decisions like this.

[Smartie]

It is, but we’ve been permitted 23% capacity, whereas Aberdeen got 26.7%. Not sure if the fact that their seating is partially uncovered might have counted in their favour.

I’d guess that a couple of the stands there (the one we go in and the one behind the goals over to the left) you could probably enter and get to your seat without going “inside” anywhere, bar the turnstile.

At ER we have to negotiate concourses to get to seats, and that will involve a bit of “traffic management” to ferry people inside.

In practical terms, Pittodrie’s openness might work in it’s favour.

So you’re expecting full stadiums after the 9th August but we can only have 23% of a stadium full what 3 or 4 weeks before then?

Admire your optimism but I think there’s no chance.

[CapitalGreen]

Having stupid arbitrary cut offs like 2000 fans instead of % of capacity has lead to this. You have the ridiculous situation where the likes of Falkirk can have close to a 3rd of their stadium full no questions asked while the likes of Hibs and Celtic have to jump through hoops to get just over a 5th of their capacity in.

Councils and governments asking for common sense from the public but then restricting numbers which will see more people ending up watching the game in confined spaces in pubs and houses.

For the Arsenal game there was no ID, no negative test, no need to be double vaxxed and although there was set times to arrive they weren’t implementing it. So other than wearing a mask until you got to your seat and took it off it was completely normal.

So can we assume that this is going to be the capacity for all our home games up until the 9th of August? I can’t get my head around this figure tbh, there will be loads of people meeting up in pubs and houses to watch the football, surely it’s safer to have people outside at the stadiums.

I listened to Johnson's press conference tonight and the scientists made it very clear that their biggest concerns were packed indoor venues with lack of ventilation. Barring the concourse area I can't see how there would be any issues with more fans at ER and surely we could work out a way of opening emergency exits so fans could leave from different and more open air points and shut the concourse apart from toileting before and during the game. Combine that with staggered entry times and we have mitigated against the worst issues.

Don’t worry, get yourself to a pub or mates house to watch the game where you can sit in a confined space, only 1m apart without a mask on and consuming alcohol.

Surely that depends on how many pods of 1/2/3 fans you have. But proportionally it will probably be similar to the Falkirk stadium or Murrayfield, yet they are allowed to fill more of their capacity.

More than 3 people in your group? No problemo, avoid the potential Covid death trap of a football stadium by going to an unventilated pub instead where you can sit with 10 people unmasked and in close proximity to many others.

This is what’s really getting to me now to be honest.

It’s not just this game either, I’ve got a ticket so there’s no reason for it to be bothering me as much as it is. To me though, if there’s rules that don’t make sense or stand up to any scrutiny and with very limited explanation then they’re just a complete nonsense.

I’m not asking for a full stadium but even taking into account the famous five stand, that will be lying completely empty while people miss out on getting to the game. Would 1 person be safe in there? Of course they would. Would 2 people sat at the opposite side of the stand be safe? Of course they would. Surely they can then work up from there until they find a number they feel isn’t safe any more and then cap it at that figure. To just say 0 people can be in a completely empty stand is a lot of *****.

The fact our club are actually thanking the council for this has really wound me up too.

[Peevemor]

If 4700 is 1m then 2m would surely be 2350? Unless that’s too simplistic - haven’t thought about it at all.It doesn't work like that.

Say each seat is 50cm wide, to have 1m space between people the set up would be

XOOXOOXOOXOO, ie. approx. 1 seat in 3 is used.

For 2m spacing, the set up would be

XOOOOXOOOOXOOOOXOOOO, ie. approx. 1 seat in 5.

If you apply the same fag packet logic to the distances between rows, you end up with 1 in 9 (11%) for 1m spacing and 1 in 25 (4%) for 2m spacing.

This doesn't account for sitting in pods of 2-4 people which improve the figures dramatically.

These figures are obviously me making assumptions but it gives a rough idea.

As a wee example, here's a theatre seat layout with 2m spacing indicated.

If so, that’s our biggest stand and there are no such protocols for Scottish club games .

If you apply the same fag packet logic to the distances between rows, you end up with 1 in 9 (11%) for 1m spacing and 1 in 25 (4%) for 2m spacing.

This doesn't account for sitting in pods of 2-4 people which improve the figures dramatically.

These figures are obviously me making assumptions but it gives a rough idea.

As a wee example, here's a theatre seat layout with 2m spacing indicated.

That’s not 2m, it’s only one seat, unless the seats are 2m wide…

Edit - ignore that, guessing the ‘x’ is seats that can be sat in…

It’s a nonsense that the social distancing matters up and down the rows considering you’d only ever be looking at the back of someone’s head.

They should buy a keg and start selling pints, that would sort their capacity restrictions.

When standing though it’s easy to turn around etc. When your sitting in your seat at the football the action is in front of you. Would be a bit daft to turn and face away from the game.

[overdrive]

The Club is happy that talks with the City of Edinburgh Council regarding an exemption to the capacity of Easter Road for the game have borne fruit and an additional 2,700 tickets will now go on sale from tomorrow at 1000 to 2021/22 season-ticket holders only. This will take the overall capacity up to 4,700 for the match.

You are right we are allowed fewer spectators than Aberdeen despite having a larger capacity stadium

[Power]

I’ve missed most of this thread because of work, just tapping in here now with information that might help.

The ticket office is 2 members of staff and working through all the emails and voicemails out of hours (well over 100+) so thanks for your patience.


The club has been receiving emails from people not being able to buy because they don’t have privileges - common theme for this one is an adult ST holder can only buy and adult ticket, child ST can only have a child ticket allocated, If buying a youth it needs to link to a youth Season Ticket etc. and likewise for all other price categories.

Season ticket membership not showing 21-22 on the account does NOT effect their eligibility to purchase online.
Your account profile will be updated once new season has been activated and added to existing cards.
My own online account is still showing as 2021/22 season ticket holder.


Those already purchased can NOT swap seats to other areas. We are unable to accommodate this due to digital and print at home tickets then becoming valid.

Lynn and Mel have been very busy answering calls and emails whilst working from home. Both are using mobiles - if either are on a call, it doesn’t tell the caller they are busy on another just goes to voicemail. An example of today is one coming off a call today and having 32 missed calls whilst on that call. They’re getting through it as best they can.

I’m happy to help with any limited knowledge I have.

Just take a look at the 3 older stands at Tynecastle. They’re way more cramped than ER.

Mind how everyone talked about the amazing atmosphere at Tiny cause it’s so enclosed? Conveniently forgotten when deciding how many fans they’re allowed in.

No tinfoil req’d. They’re at it.

I tried selecting the adult ticket first and also the youth one first but got no joy either way. I eventually tried the other option where the system chooses your tickets but despite there being some doubles left it didn't find them.

You appear to be talking bollox once more.

Aberdeen holds 20,866 as against 20,421 for Easter Road.

[Moulin Yarns]

That’s more like it?

Less than Aberdeen in a bigger, more modern, spacious stadium and left waiting until Monday night for an answer and it’s being presented as a positive?

Madness.

Be good if someone at the club grew a backbone and called the council out on this instead thanking them for the pitiful scraps they’re throwing out way.

Don't forget that ventilation is so much better at Pittodrie, the gales that blow of the North Sea see to that. 😉

[Moulin Yarns]

It doesn't work like that.

Say each seat is 50cm wide, to have 1m space between people the set up would be

XOOXOOXOOXOO, ie. approx. 1 seat in 3 is used.

For 2m spacing, the set up would be

XOOOOXOOOOXOOOOXOOOO, ie. approx. 1 seat in 5.

Yeh of course. If buying a youth it needs to link to a youth Season Ticket, an adult ticket needs aligned against an Adult Season Ticket etc.

It sounds like you were doing the right thing - both season ticket holders and buying the right category and aligning to your network correctly. Potentially the pods were gone (I do know the 2,3 and 4 went super fast) but you should’ve been able to get singles if still available at that time. Hopefully a smoother attempt tomorrow ✅

So do you have to do that before you select the second ticket? I know how to align once tickets are in basket but I was concerned because every time we tried to buy a second ticket for a youth season ticket holder 'computer said no'.

[Peevemor]

Aberdeen’s main stand is closed to spectators.Aberdeen's main stand has a capacity of 3,900. Our main stand holds 6,400.

If UEFA stipulate that main stands are to be closed and used only by the 2 clubs then we've lost the use of 2,500 more than them, ie. they'll start with approx. 17k seats before distancing whereas we'll only have 14k.

Selling tickets at 10am and 3pm. Many folk work - can we start selling tickets at a time when many aren’t working - say after 5pm?!

South Stand - Hibs are missing out on allowing fans to watch the club. Can we know hire some portacabins (put them in the corner)and allow the away team to change there ?! There are no showers in the south anyway !!

Only x2 ticket office staff ? When I have dealt with them they have been fantastic but surely we should have more staff to help out ?!! I hope they get paid accordingly !!

Scottish football needs to get its act together and make sure it’s full stadiums by the 9th. This has been said to clubs so I hope they don’t go back on their word.

No - If you do post the link so we can have a read.

It doesn’t take a genius to work out we have a 20,000+ seater stadium and we can spread some fans out in it without risking a covid outbreak.

I actually think our stadium is quite spaced out and east stand with its internal high ceiling concourse and various fire exits is pretty well ventilated.

I’m not expecting a full stadium but a fair increase on last weeks game. You probably have more folk shopping at the St James Centre on a Saturday than you will at ER.

I’m really curious to see if the FF will be for sale - from a football point of view it would be nice to have fans on 3 sides of the stadium - ideally it would have been 4 to help the team.

It doesn’t suit me after 5pm. I was able to log on in plenty time today - well 2.50pm - before the advertised 3pm and get a ticket in west lower. I know not everyone works 9-5pm but last season we had thank you NHS and we start selling tickets at 10am when many folk will be working. It doesn’t make sense.

Ok Hibs website fine but short notice news should be an email to ST holders. It was fine when they were trying to get us to renew with hundreds of emails but a 5 min email to give some fans some notice surely isn’t too hard ? Come on - we can do better as a club.

The point about the south stand is also important. Lots of clubs have the away teams getting changed in portacabins. Obviously up until now we’ve not had to worry about using the south stand, but with fans now being allowed back in it’s an idea that should be explored. We could be looking at an extra 500-1000 fans in the stadium.

I don’t know - but you seem to know all the answers with the UEFA criteria and what Hibs have done so please share it. I can voice my concerns as the lack of clarity and timings is amateur. Plus many Hibs fans are annoyed and that’s just the ones who post on here or online. I’m sure many older fans who don’t use social media / internet as much are disappointed.

I’m not blaming Hibs for everything but there are some basic communication and issues such as advertising a 3pm sale but starting a queue at 2.45pm which have arisen which could have been better thought out.

As grateful as I am to have purchased a ticket today I can feel people’s frustrations - especially when things could have been done better.

The only tickets on sale today were for the West Stand.

Besides who defines what the 'Main Stand'? What is Hearts Main Stand for example? Is it the as yet unfinished (or was unfinished the last time I looked) Main Stand or the one where the players tunnel emerges from?

All league grounds have a main stand.

I read the main stand thing on here, took it to be true then admitted my error when it was shown that it obviously isn't.

I don't think anyone is deliberately making stuff up. For my part I'm simply trying to understand the capacities that have been permitted.

[Ringothedog]

Its nonsense.

Totally agree

[HibeesLittleHel]

So my question is we applied for 9000 for this match and got 4700 Aberdeen 5500, smaller stadium. Assuming Hibs got their act together and put in a comprehensive application with supporting evidence of capability for 9000, why has the council set a limit less than 5000?

[overdrive]

Are we definitely still using the South Stand for away changing rooms? I might be wrong but it looked like Arsenal came out of the West Stand last week.

Should hopefully get tickets for the others in the family.

We are not being asked for LAteral Flow Test unlike Aberdeen. Might be the reason

Aberdeen stadium holds just under 22,000 while our stadium is just above 20,000 so that might be why they got more than us 🤷*♂️

You’re right. Arsenal must have got changed in the west stand. Didn’t think about it at the time.

It is now one of the largest stadium in Scotland and has a seating capacity of 20,961.

That’s from their official website. So about 500 more than us

My experience from yesterday still doesn't fill me with confidence that 6th in the queue will mean I end up with the 2 tickets I'm after. I was 35th yesterday and ended up scrabbling about for 2 single seats long after it looked like they had sold out.

Yes available on Hibs TV (not Hibspass) for £9.99.

I see we have food vouchers to buy
What is in them

[MartinfaePorty]

I was 390 and got in and purchased my ticket easily. I know of at least 3 season ticket holders in my group that are on holiday, so hopefully anyone that wants to go gets a ticket. Interesting they've put up Kiosk Vouchers up for sale, which I might take advantage of once I understand what it actually means (apologies if discussed elsewhere).

199th in queue and managed to get in smoothly and purchase 4 tickets - 2 groups of 2 - at first thought might only allow me 2 but persevered and got other 2 as well - reassigned to the appropriate season ticket reference - now just need to understand how you get in - just bring season ticket card - is it an all green card - i have 2 of the 4 at home - but cant locate the other 2 at the moment!

[Hibby70]

That was easier than yesterday. Had to get 2 blocks of 2 manually as the auto selection had us way at the back row (with 2 over 85 year olds!)

On halfway line row P.

No, you'll need to either add to Apple Wallet/Google Pay on your phone or print off the ticket that is emailed to you.

On the point of adding to Apple Wallet, has anyone actually ever managed to actually get a ticket to scan with an iPhone 12? I had to resort to the backup print-off ticket that my Dad printed off last week.

[Hibby70]

I assume there is no proof of vaccination/lft required.

Also I'll have all our tickets one phone - any issues with that?

Edit: will they check names, all my tickets have my name on them and not who I assigned to

Tickets acquired easy enough! 👍

[jgl07]

I entered the queue at around 09:45 and was in before 10:10.

It then informed me that I had timed out, around 2 seconds after letting me in. I went back to the log in screeen and was let back in immediatey.

I found it impossible to select a seat as clicking on a particular block and then to a specific seat produced nothing. I went back in and asked to be allocated a seat and it worked.

The whole thing was over by 10:17 and the ticket was in my Apple Wallet.

Got 2 tickets in the East - nice and simple process - can't wait to get back to Easter Road

[JXM73]

I’ve got a ticket but I’m getting incredibly frustrated by some of the stuff last few days.

Hibs better be using all the stands on Thursday. If the FF is lying empty it will be an absolute shambles.

Communication from Hibs..no email about this new sale tomorrow - I’m sure many don’t use social media. Today’s email was sent at 3.08pm after the tickets went on sale !! Selling tickets at 10am and 3pm. Many folk work - can we start selling tickets at a time when many aren’t working - say after 5pm?!

South Stand - Hibs are missing out on allowing fans to watch the club. Can we know hire some portacabins (put them in the corner)and allow the away team to change there ?! There are no showers in the south anyway !!

Only x2 ticket office staff ? When I have dealt with them they have been fantastic but surely we should have more staff to help out ?!! I hope they get paid accordingly !!

Scottish football needs to get its act together and make sure it’s full stadiums by the 9th. This has been said to clubs so I hope they don’t go back on their word.

It’s ridiculous watching all the events worldwide with fans and we are saying we are delighted with this outcome. Grow a back bone Hibs and stop being so soft.

We can do better and I hope the club reads this thread. Rant over :)

What a load of *****, so its all hibs fault...ffs

[calumhibee1]

It’s not at all all Hibs fault but Scottish clubs do need to grow a backbone imo.

Saying we’re delighted about the outcome of this shouldn’t be the route we’re going down. We should be pushing for a hell of a lot more, both publicly and privately.

[tamig]

Much more straightforward today and two tickets secured before 10:05. Tickets downloaded to the phone wallet.

For fans who miss out on a ticket, or are ineligible to purchase at this time, we can also confirm Hibs TV will be streaming the game via pay-per-view. You can watch for £9.99. Our build-up starts from 1915 with kick-off at 1945.

Unfortunately, you are attempting to purchase more tickets for a match than you are allowed to. Please double check, and remove items from your basket to proceed.

[Mon_the_cabbage]

I had issues at the Arsenal game which is the first time I’ve had any problems. It’s also the first time I’ve tried with my current phone (iPhone 11)
The issue I had was that I couldn’t get the QR code far enough down the screen to be picked up by the scanner. Ended up having to leave the queue and be scanned by the steward using the hand held scanner.
Will just try using the PDF directly on Thursday.

[scoopyboy]

If it was only the west yesterday and only the east today you have to wonder why there was 2700 allowed in the east yet only 2000 in the west, they are similar sized stands.

I go this too, it had the same tickets in my basket twice with no way of removing them so I had to delete all of them and start again.

Shame as the seats were good and now I’m stuck up the top of the east.

That was horrendous.

I got into the queue nice and early, got to 10am and was timed out. I then logged back in and got straight to the ticket selection page which was a wee bonus. I then tried to buy 4 tickets but computer said no. I then had to empty the basket, go back in and try again. I tried for 2 this time only to be told I couldn’t buy that many. Emptied the basket again, went back in and finally was able to buy 1 ticket only. I’m pleased I’ve got that but after reading tales on here of folks getting their hands on 4 at a time I’m also a bit hacked off that I won’t be able to go with my boy. Not happy.

About half of the West stand upper is those posh black executive seats. Us plebs :greengrin aren't allowed to use those seats so that greatly reduces the seats available for regular tickets.

Seems like we won't have any fans in the Famous Five stand. I'd love to know the Council's reasoning behind not allowing us to open that one. We could've had another 1000+ in there easily.

17k at Ibrox for the first game of the season.

[Hibs1969]

I tried to do that but he only got his season ticket for this season and can’t find a client ref number. Without that you can’t re-assign a ticket. I’m more hacked off that it wouldn’t let me buy more than 1, I’m not trying to screw the system just get a couple, even if they’re not together.

I think that will be Hibs decision. The council will say, you're allowed xxxx number of tickets, Hibs will then decide how best to distribute the seats while keeping in mind the covid guidelines

It doesn’t make sense..along with quote of few covid guidelines over the last year.

We are told put fans in West and East while the south and FF lie empty. Surely if the government/ council / covid police are so worried about social distancing they would spread the 5000 around all 4 stands.

The only positive I guess is the atmosphere will be better with fans closer together.

You can’t buy more than 1 per ST. You would have needed to sort the reference no bit to buy 2.

FOLLOWING further discussions with the Scottish Government and local authorities, Rangers have been granted permission to host 8,500 supporters at Saturday’s match with Brighton & Hove Albion, and 12,750 at Sunday’s Real Madrid fixture.

As things stand at the moment all legal restrictions on social distancing are set to be removed from 9th August so that will be why they're planning for that.

I'm not sure if there has been any chat around away supports post-9th August. Appreciate the view is all restrictions are due to be lifted, but the decision around away fans will be one for the clubs/football authorities to clarify. Logically you'd expect them to be allowed but I've not seen anything specific about it. Others may be able to confirm.
