Even Sky confused by Sturgeons drivel. Surely they can’t have reason for every season ticket holder not being able to attend. If not the council themselves should reimburse the money for games we miss out on

I believe the ballot is working now but I had the same problem initially.
Got in now so fingers crossed - Sunday working means I might miss out on a couple of games as long as we remain in Europe:pray: but I can make this Sunday for sure.

"A limited period". How limited??

[Skol]

I get that Thursday and Sunday are different however I firmly believe that any Season Ticket holder who does not get a ticket for Thursday should be guaranteed a ticket for Sunday as that would be a fair process and in reality will not be a significant number of people. Some will be lucky and get to both but we should be doing our best to be fair.

That said, this is a poor decision and looks like its because Sturgeon still not allowing large stadium events even from Monday. There is no reason we couldnt get 10k spread across the whole ground.

When you’re NS then you don’t need to bother given such critical info.

[Chorley Hibee]

Exactly, deliberately ambiguous as always.

[calumhibee1]

Asking for a friend, what chance would you have of getting a refund on an ST if you weren’t happy about only getting in to every 2nd home game? It seems to be about the only action that will wake clubs up.

[Col2]

Can anyone believe for the “foreseeable future” we need to rely on the Edinburgh Council to tell us how many fans we can have at home matches.

So assuming they are not blessed with the skills a d therefore not prepared to do this will any level of sophistication- they will almost certainly default to a level of 5k+ probably no more than 6500 until someone tells them differently.

NS has just passed the buck but doesn’t trust the clubs or governing body to take a sensible and measured approach. This and asking kids to continue to wear masks in school for 7 hours a day is just beyond me. My son starts high school and as we all know it’s a big deal. Sick of this ****. She just can’t let go.. and winter is coming.

[my left peg]

I see I’ve been charged £26 for a kids ticket!
I wonder when they are going to send the pdf to print at home?

Is the south stand not out of bounds for the away changing rooms
So we can only use 3 stands??

That wasn’t the way I interpreted it. My head is spinning, can someone just tell me please if there will be full stadiums or not?

[CMurdoch]

Gutted that all 4 stands are not getting used.
Putting even a 1000 in each would make a world of difference

I think they've covered themselves in the small print this time, but something needs to happen.

This "We are delighted" obsequious claptrap has had its day, particularly on the back of what Sturgeon has just announced.

[H18 SFR]

For the Arsenal and Santa games they were not in the south changing area.

Still better than last year though.
I bought fully in the knowledge there would be restrictions and I can’t imagine many people thought we’d all be back from game 1??

[TheCabbage]

Shows how much attention I was paying 😂😂

[Pretty Boy]

The biggest issue for me is that this disproportionately impacts a small number of clubs.

Ross County, Livingston etc can accommodate all their ST holders plus walk ups plus a few away fans no bother. Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen, those 2 in Glasgow and Dundee Utd are going to be hit hardest financially as it stands. We have to shell out on various things just to accomodate our ST holders with no additional income for doing so. We are being shafted.

Clubs need to stop doffing their caps, saying how delighted they are, offering sycophantic thanks and instead grow a set.

[davhibby]

Surely if councils start being awkward when there’s no distancing requirements the clubs can take them/the government to court. There’s absolutely no reason capacity crowds aren’t allowed from Monday. Will be interesting to see what Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen and St Johnstone get for their European games next week. Aberdeen in particular since their council seem to have been one of the worst

[HibbyAndy]

So how long do we go with 5000 fans at home ? When's the next review ?

[Sir David Gray]

That's based on all Councils acting in the same manner, can't see Glasgow City Council doing over the Old Firm but can easily see Edinburgh City Council doing it to us and that lot

[Sir David Gray]

Not when you're just 3 months into a 5 year term.

Maybe time for us to get together with hearts and take on the council…. I have no doubt this being a joke is something we all agree with

I maybe heard it wrong, but there is no upper capacity limits,only that any event over 5000 have to apply to allow it to be assessed?? Eg, cant imagine an indoor concert of 10k people going ahead at the moment, but i would think the football was going to be ok?

There isn't anything, in theory, stopping Hibs from having 20,000 at home after next Monday if the council allows it.

I think we all know that won't happen.

Why wouldnt the council allow it? Serious question?

My success rate in ticket ballots so far remains at 0%.

I know it’s luck of the draw but it’s frustrating when I know people who have been to every game so far.

There is no answer to that question.

Experience would show us there doesn’t need to be a reason though.

Except unfortunately, Rangers are barely impacted. They've not got space for walk ups.

Us, Hearts, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd and possibly Celtic do too. We're having an income stream removed whilst having to provide another option for fans.

Rangers are just having to provide another option for fans.

Correct, but I didn’t get a ticket from this one so my success rate is 0 :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

Why wouldn't the council allow us to be at 50% on Thursday and Sunday, just like Rangers were on Saturday?

Maybe the council will surprise me and allow 20,000 from Monday - I'm willing to place a bet that it won't happen though.

There’s only been one ballot so far

[GreenCastle]

Asking for a friend..

Can you put 6 names from the online network into the ballot to give a better chance of a ticket then get a refund on the tickets if they aren’t needed say only 2 people are going ?

[BlackSheep]

Arsenal and Santa Coloma used the Away dressing room in the west stand. No South stand restrictions for that reason.

[SaulGoodman]

It’s a 100% failure rate after one attempt 😎

I don't think so, the tickets are being allocated as groups as far as i am aware.

But there was restrictions in place though, social distancing etc? Now thats been removed. Im not saying we will, but there is nothing legal stopping it.

[Mikey]

Ticket money only just showing as pending for me so they're obviously still working their way through applications.

[duffers]

I had more or less lost hope on our application but the moneys just been taking out my mates account now. Just to keep some hopes up for those that have yet to hear anything….

[Mikey]

It's still showing the child ticket as £23 but presumably that'll be tidied up. Full amount at the moment is to be £69.

[SQHib]

Arsenal and Santa Coloma used the Away dressing room in the west stand. No South stand restrictions for that reason.

Again not clear nut presumably now if there is "no legal requirements for social distnacing" away teams will go back to chnaging in the main stand thus opening up use of away stand ?

[greenlex]

Hibs we’re using the stand we were in on Sunday for changing. As stated elsewhere we are back to using the away dressing room in any case.

Some protective measures will stay in place such as the use of face coverings indoors and the collection of contact details as part of Test and Protect. Capacity limits of 2000 people indoors and 5000 people outdoors will also remain in place although some exceptions may be possible on a case by case basis. These will be reviewed on a three weekly basis to ensure they remain proportionate

That’s actually worse than I thought, I thought we could get full capacity with approval from the council but it sounds like nothing has changed?

[Silversand]

£37 has come off my account now, so presume I've got my 2 tickets.

I had checked 20 mins ago, so obviously working their way through them now.

It was always going to be unfair on those who miss out but it’s doubly frustrating when it seems like there’s so little of us that actually did miss out.

We had crap seats for that game, and thought they'd give us the same again, (Just a hunch) so we didn't apply for tickets for Thursday. TV for me.

[erin go bragh]

luck of the draw ,, missed out but hoping with this extra 900 , might get lucky tomorrow 🤞

I've got 163 which I'm fairly certain is pretty close to the end.

[soul_driver]

The clubs and the league need to get together and fight for full capacity. None of today's nonsense statement makes sense. Hibs should apply for full houses from Monday and if refused publish the reasons.

[CMurdoch]

My 2 just appeared on my Hibs account by magic just after 5pm so the process is still ongoing.
Keep the faith!

[.Sean.]

I was waiting for my confirmation email after seeing the money being taken out my account, what I’ve done is go to account history e ticketing, comes up with your allocated seat and you can ‘re send’ confirmation on that. I’m West Lower 03 row K which strangely enough is only a few seats along from where I had a ST about 12 year ago

[Eyrie]

No email, but a pending payment and my account history showing that I managed to get the West Upper so will be home before midnight. I was up the back of the East for Santa Columa and that took a loooooooooooooong time to get away. Cracking view though.

[Andy74]

It sounds very much like Hibs have taken the decision not to include the North and South stands currently. The new CEO has been talking about remedial activity being carried out there as well as fitting of big screens at some point, somewhere.

A little odd if that impacts into the season starting but it may have been a case of the Council saying they'd prefer smaller numbers right now and Hibs taking account of that to get some needed works in.
