When do we find out re the Ross County game?

When will we hear if we are successful?

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

The ballot is open until 5pm tomorrow, so at the earliest tomorrow evening, most likely during day on Friday.

On mine too

“Ballot applications will close at 5pm on Thursday 5th August – you MUST sign into your season ticket holder account to be eligible to apply.

There is obvious conflicting information, as the official website states 3pm - take your pick which is right.

Still the best way imo (obviously not during a pandemic). This online buying tickets malarky has been a disaster for our older supporters and very unfair. Over 65's should get priority over everyone to buy their ticket a day in advance :cb

I attended all three but I disagree. Everyone that's paid for a ticket for Sunday should have equal chance.

Not looking good for me. Really enjoyed the three games I’ve been back at, especially Motherwell so will be gutted to miss out.

Agree, it canny work like that.

What next, everyone who was at all the previous games gets a ticket for tynie? Where do you draw the line. We all know our chances in this ballot are slightly over 50/50 and i do feel sorry for those who will miss out but its is the luck of the draw. No other way of doing it unless Edinburgh council decide to grant us a 10k capacity which aint happening it would seem.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

It should appear in the other peoples account history as an assigned item. At least that's what happened to me for tonights game when I was part of a group booking but not the person that booked it.

You’re probably right.

Just a bit gutted at the prospect of not getting back this Sunday, after having such a belter since fans returned, so I’m just finding something to moan about 😂.

[lord bunberry]

Just checked mine and I’ve got our 3 tickets. Absolutely delighted

[007]

Hopefully those who miss out on Sunday are guaranteed a seat at the next home league game. I realise we might be allowed full crowds by then but I wouldn't be surprised if the council d**ked us about with the numbers for it.

I’m hopeful they are still working their way through the majority of tickets today. With a game on last night they might have a later start this morning and might not hear till nearer the end of the day. (Thats what i’m hoping anyway as not got one yet either.) Fingers crossed this is the last of the ballots either way.

You do understand that no team - not one - have unrestricted numbers before Monday and the lifting of restrictions arrives?

You seem to know what capacities Hibs and Hearts will have after monday, so please enlighten the rest of us.

Well done.

As an aside, does anyone else find the new logon system Hibs have implemented to be a complete mystery?

I seem to have a generic (and supposedly single) signon for Hibs, and from there I still click thru to the ticketing website - no additional logon, thankfully - Separately I also have Hibs TV and still got Hibs Pass.

i am usually quite literate on these things, but it feels a wee bit all over the countryside.

[Pretty Boy]

So in my account history it shows 'purchased 1 item on 08/05/21' when I open that further it shows the 3 tickets I applied for but I've had no email.

Does that mean I have been successful and people are just jumping the gun before Hibs have sent the emails?

I am still one of those waiting and as yet without a ticket.

While you make a good point on unrestricted numbers, what is bonkers is that we will have two stands completely shut while having c4k people who have paid for a seat not being allowed to attend. While we may not have been able to accommodate all STs, all 4 stands should be available on reduced numbers and we get maybe 8-9k people in.

I’m in the same position as you.

I’d hate to think there are season ticket holders missing out because there is work being done at the ground.

Yeah I’m hoping so too. It doesn’t make sense why we would have two stands not being used though. I can’t see any logic where we could have them all open and not be allowed a capacity that would let almost every season ticket holder attend.

Noticed last night that the seats in the away stand are still smashed up after the derby before covid. Better get that sorted quickly.

Seems mental to me and you but if the council are limiting us to 5600 maybe the club don’t want to pay more stewards etc to open all 4 when that number can be accommodated in 2 stands.

Does beg the question why we’re being limited to 2 stands though.

[Mikey]

We got our 4 in the last half hour or so too.

[atticmonkey]

Any help ? I’ve got email saying I have a ticket but no ticket attached

[BlackSheep]

Wonder how many have applied for this game?

With everyone who applied getting a ticket for last night, a bigger game than Ross County in the league, you could assume that it would be similar numbers? But then throw in the fact that last night’s game came at a cost, whereas Sunday is already paid for…

I have to say last year I accepted not attending matches having paid for 2 season tickets… it’s definitely a harder pill to swallow now that others are getting to watch in the stadium while some of us have to watch from home.

I hope Hibs have something up their sleeves to alleviate concerns for those who miss out… vouchers for the shop… something like that?

[calumhibee1]

For last nights game I got a confirmation then tickets came in a separate email a bit later.

I agree. It’s a mental decision. If 5600 can safely be housed in two stands how can the council logically say you can’t have more than that if you were to open the two other stands. Though as Calum says if there are still smashed seats in the away end maybe the club aren’t pushing for all stands to be open.

East was first choice and that's what we got.

They can only get as many people in as they’re allowed. Hardly going to offer vouchers. We can watch the game for free at home and hopefully
It’s back to full house next week.

No guarantee of a full house next week yet either.

[Skol]

Still waiting :-(

If unsuccesful I didnt really want anything from Hibs as this isnt their fault and financially it will have an impact on the club and so I am happy to write off the cost as I did last season and for the remainder of the season before.

I need to trust Hibs to do this fairly for as long as it lasts although unfortunately I know I cannot make the next home game and so was hoping I would get this one and not need to ask next time around.

Absolutely agree with you. It would be great if a fans rep was able to explain the reasoning for only 2 stands being used and why our % of capacity is less than other Scottish teams. To jump from 5600 to full house in a week seems ludicrous if they are being cautious. Still can’t fathom why all ST holders can’t at least be accommodated on Sunday. In any other line of business customers would just stop paying for the product/service with this shambles.

Bought 4 tickets last season and 4 this season for the family, looks like I'm not getting tickets for Sunday which I'm gutted about but I knew there was going to be a ballot.
Hopefully full capacity for the next home game but if not I'm sure I'll have a better chance of tickets in the next ballot.

As I said I’m not placing any blame with hibs… and yes this is the ‘fairest’ way to allocate tickets…. But something to reduce the disappointment of not getting to watch would be welcome.

If I were hibs and it was the CEC that was deciding the numbers, I’d be pressing for compensation for league matches where paid ST holders are forced to not attend.

[Pretty Boy]

It’s frustrating but how else would you like them to do it?

A ballot is the fairest way right now

Yep.

I think the only way to make it fairer is that if another ballot is required then those who entered this one and missed out are guaranteed a ticket for the next home league game. That may already be a plan that is in place but isn't being communicated until it's relevant. The European games are different as that's an additional cost over and above a season ticket.

[BlackSheep]

They have said they have plans to have a weighted ballot if need be


‘In those circumstance the Club would carry out a ballot of ST holders for each game, “weighted” to ensure every fan gets the best and fairest chance to attend home matches. This is how it would work:

When the ballot opens, all eligible and willing season ticket holders will be asked to log into their online ticketing account and complete the ballot application.

A separate ballot will be held for each match to which crowds have been permitted by the Scottish Government, according to their physical-distancing guidelines. Please note however, that if a season ticket holder is successful in the first ballot, they may be placed into a secondary pot for the next ballot to ensure each season ticket holder has the chance to attend a match before we return to full capacity, and so on.

Supporters can apply for as many ballots as they wish. This – allied with the weighed use of “pots” outlined above – will ensure we accommodate as many ST holders who wish to attend each match as possible.‘

[BegbieHSC]

Mine just appeared. Delighted! Hope those still waiting have some luck!!

[BlackSheep]

I think the vast majority of us thought that full capacity would be available in time for every home match this season, it’s a shame that’s not the case.

[Danderhall Hibs]

It’s frustrating but how else would you like them to do it?

It is the fairest way. Some recompense for those missing out (assuming everyone’s back for the next game) is also fair.

Haven’t sat in own seat for a long time and again in a different seat in the East.

I understand the frustrations of those not getting a ticket but also folk have paid for gold and not getting their more expensive seat.

I think this will be the last ballot but I do think Hibs need to look to the future and find a way to do some sort of fair loyalty points system. I don’t know what that is but surely there is a fair way.

what if you cant make the next game and this was your preference?

[Pretty Boy]

what if you cant make the next game and this was your preference?

It's an imperfect system. No system is going to please everyone unfortunately but Hibs have to find something that gets the maximum number of ST holders to as many games as possible and a weighted ballot seems the best option all things considered.

Fwiw I think this week will be the last we see of ballots with at least all ST holders getting in from the next home game onwards.

You can’t have loyalty points impacting on home games where everybody has already paid. Everybody who has backed the club over the last two seasons by purchasing STs has shown the same level of loyalty.
A ballot is the fairest way. It looks like my three have all missed out for Sunday, that’s life under Covid restrictions unfortunately.

Lets hope that this is the last ballot. However at least if there is then I wont be in it increasing chances for the others.

[Hermit Crab]

Oh well not looking good for me for Sunday...nobody to blame tho other than the Govt and Council for these ridiculous continued restrictions on numbers...Time for Hibs and Hearts to get together and really put pressure on Edinburgh Council. Gutted to miss Sunday as really enjoyed the last 2 Euro ties and being there but it's only fair those who missed out last night get a shot on Sunday...Hibs TV will do


No ST holder missed out last night. Everyone that applied got a ticket.

[GreenCastle]

You can’t have loyalty points impacting on home games where everybody has already paid. Everybody who has backed the club over the last two seasons by purchasing STs has shown the same level of loyalty.
A ballot is the fairest way. It looks like my three have all missed out for Sunday, that’s life under Covid restrictions unfortunately.

I meant that buying a ST should add some points but I still think points need allocated for attending other games and possibly even purchases in the club shop etc. It’s not easy as there are flaws in several systems as has been discussed here before. I didn’t like last system as it wasn’t consistent enough and not away games got loyalty points. Even buying tickets for others didn’t mean anything.

You could argue someone buying gold twice has shown more loyalty than another price band if you wanted to be really picky.

A ballot is fair (though no one knows actually what system
Is being used to do this?!) but I think if this was for a full season they would have to have had a different way so fans get a chance to attend a fair amount of home games. I reckon the ticket office and Hibs can’t wait to ditch the ballot and get back to letting all fans in…hopefully for Killie onwards.

[Loopz]

Just got 2 tickets and I’ve been checking all morning, they are still being allocated.

[JoeT]

Well done.

As an aside, does anyone else find the new logon system Hibs have implemented to be a complete mystery?

I seem to have a generic (and supposedly single) signon for Hibs, and from there I still click thru to the ticketing website - no additional logon, thankfully - Separately I also have Hibs TV and still got Hibs Pass.

i am usually quite literate on these things, but it feels a wee bit all over the countryside.


Yep, most of the time I go round in circles, try my phone and a different browser and it takes about 12 attempts to find the account menu!

If KP is reading this would appreciate his input on a few points:

Why are all four stands not being opened thus allowing us to apply for a higher capacity.
Did it actually matter what part of the ground you selected in the ballot when applying for tickets, meaning you would miss out if the area you wanted was oversubscribed.

Cheers.

We'd still have the same capacity so it makes no difference. Better off in the West or East, better views.

[wookie70]

Yes all 4 were used. Was there not something about building work in the stands behind the goals. If it is true, and assuming it isn't an unforeseen circumstance, then that is very poor given how long the club has had to get it done. All four stands should be available and only the council should be stopping us using them. I got tickets so can't complain personally but I would be seriously pee'd off if I missed out and teh club had decided not to open the stands due to cost of stewarding etc

[Pretty Boy]

Got my confirmation email but no email actually with tickets yet.

Looks like I'm away up in the corner of the west nearest the FF stand.

[Renton1875]

Would be interesting to know if you improve your chances of getting a ticket by selecting the East as one of your options rather than two options in the West for example.

[hibsforeurope]

Still no ticket either for me or daughter either. I'd only just convinced her to go back again after being spooked by the Sunshine mascot.

I wasn't fussed about loyalty points, i couldn't manage to get to enough away games to merit a ticket to big games. But having forked out for 2 Gold season tickets for the last 2 seasons, i'd have hoped those would have gained some weight in any ballot.

[MacBean]

I don’t know about the famous five, but I thought the reason the south stand wasn’t being used was because the away team were using it to get changed.

[Green_one]

I’ll accept your word on that but it makes little sense. Surely the dispersal of the fans is the key to the risk NOT the total
So more stands more dispersal, more fans. :confused:

Admittedly logic does that apply in any current decision making but we should be moving heaven and earth to get as many of the ST holders in

Didn't look like that last night? Teams came out the tunnel together. Unless the Croats walked round from he South stand. :confused:

[hibee_girl]

The FF stand entrances in between the east stand and the club shop were taped off the other morning when I passed (must have been Wednesday) so there was definitely something going on there.

So you think because because you're in the higher price category you should have more chance of a ticket over someone who bought and could only afford a Bronze ticket? Nah, doesn't work like that. Every ST holder who has paid their money deserves a fair crack at getting a ticket. If your names drawn then great, well done. If not then unlucky but thats the way it goes.

[lord bunberry]

I wasn’t there last night so I couldn’t tell you, but if they both came out of the tunnel I’m guessing they’re not using the south anymore.

[WhileTheChief..]

They are.

Are all home games going to be available to watch online for season ticket holders, same as last year?

Or, is it just whilst there are restrictions in place? I've not been paying attention.

Once there, there's a little icon, top right of your screen, inbetween Hospitality and your Shopping Basket.

Click the icon then select View Account Menu and Account history is in there.

[SHODAN]

Fair enough, if it's all about money I'll just chuck £1M at Hibs for all the tickets and have the stadium all to myself. Sorted.

[Hermit Crab]

Wonder how many have applied for this game?

With everyone who applied getting a ticket for last night, a bigger game than Ross County in the league, you could assume that it would be similar numbers? But then throw in the fact that last night’s game came at a cost, whereas Sunday is already paid for…

I have to say last year I accepted not attending matches having paid for 2 season tickets… it’s definitely a harder pill to swallow now that others are getting to watch in the stadium while some of us have to watch from home.

I hope Hibs have something up their sleeves to alleviate concerns for those who miss out… vouchers for the shop… something like that?


This has to be wind up eh? You want a club shop voucher for those who miss out on a ticket, in a ballot, that we all agreed to, and we all knew our chances were slightly over 50/50. This is up there with the folk that wanted loyalty points for buying pies and chips from the kiosks. :faf::faf:

What other benefit has there been of paying more for the last two season tickets? A gold ticket still got the same view last season on Hibs pass despite paying more than the other categories, it might have been a little return.

Other clubs offered refunds, vouchers, etc. I'm not aware of anything similar from Hibs.

You mentioned knowing the 50/50 chance - when we signed up we didn’t know that.

If we knew it was a fair crack then fine but as it stands half of ST holders will get less product for their money (even if they’ve paid more than others).

Lets not be silly here, we all knew there would be a reduced capacity of some sort. Nobody bought a season ticket fully expecting no restrictions throughout the whole season, if they did then they've not been following the FM's announcements every 3 weeks

[WhileTheChief..]

Cheers, it’s only for 1 game so I’m just glad I’ll be there. I don’t think you need to be double jabbed to get in.

Once you're in, you'll probably be able to move seats anyway so long as you don't plonk yourself right next to a stranger.

There's been a few posts from folk saying they moved seats no probs at last night's match.

[Irish_Steve]

Still no ticket either for me or daughter either. I'd only just convinced her to go back again after being spooked by the Sunshine mascot.

I wasn't fussed about loyalty points, i couldn't manage to get to enough away games to merit a ticket to big games. But having forked out for 2 Gold season tickets for the last 2 seasons, i'd have hoped those would have gained some weight in any ballot.

Why should you be given extra weight for paying more?

I pay more for sitting in the posh seats in the FFU but I would be embarrassed to ask for preferential treatment. You could say I`m losing out if I sit in the East because those seats are a good bit cheaper than mine.

I bought the ST`s last season knowing there was little hope of getting into the ground, I just wanted to do my bit to ensure we actually had a club to support.

So, if I lose out on ballots this season, I won`t go off moaning about it, I`m just happy to have a club to support. Look at the bigger picture and stop being so selfish

[hibee]

Got our 3 tickets through. There’s 5 in our group but only 3 wanted to go.

[jeffers]

I’m disappointed if I’ve missed out as is looking to be the case. If two of the stands are closed when they didn’t need to be, thus allowing more fans to get in I’ll be really pissed off.

I’m maybe way off, but until I hear otherwise it strikes me that there is no major driver for Hibs to get everyone in, they’ve already got our money and are saving the cost of employing additional stewards by not opening all four stands. Doesn’t make a lot of sense otherwise considering Hearts as an example had all of their stands open.

If there’s 2 games everyone misses one and it’s fair.

Cos you’re more valuable to the club/business. That’s how it works in all walks of life - but more from Sky they give you more “free” stuff, pay for the extra benefits at the Bank and get more stuff.

[Danderhall Hibs]

They’re certainly getting the blame but I wonder what the club asked for? Did they include all 4 stands in the calcs?

I would disagree. It was my choice to pay more for a comfortable seat but no way do I think that should give me priority over any one else, no matter where they sit in the ground. It`s kinda typical of the me, me,me mindset we have these days.

I`ve only been a ST holder for about 25 years, should those who have supported Hibs longer than me get priority?

[jeffers]

Don't think Hibs set the limit sure it was ECC

That may well be the case, but it’s not clear. And if it was the ECC I’d like an explanation how a limit was set that included only two stands. It’s not much of a leap to think you could safely allow more in if you opened up the other two. Saying that from the clowns who pissed away £5M on cycle lanes nothing would surprise me.

[WhileTheChief..]

Gold in West is £440, the most expensive in the house. Bronze is £385.

So you pay an extra £55 over 18 games , £3.05 more per game.

You think an extra £3.05 to the club means you're more deserving of a ticket?!

Nice.

I agree

My ticket costs £475 - do I think it gives me more priority over someone paying £385 - absolutely not

Hibs applied initially for 9k earlier last month for games, how was that fitting in 2 stands with 2m distancing? Last night the 2 empty stands both looked ready to use. To me it looks like Hibs have used only the 2 stands to try and show they could’ve had more people in the stadium

[Blurhibee]

I’m disappointed if I’ve missed out as is looking to be the case. If two of the stands are closed when they didn’t need to be, thus allowing more fans to get in I’ll be really pissed off.

I’m maybe way off, but until I hear otherwise it strikes me that there is no major driver for Hibs to get everyone in, they’ve already got our money and are saving the cost of employing additional stewards by not opening all four stands. Doesn’t make a lot of sense otherwise considering Hearts as an example had all of their stands open.

We don’t have a safety certificate for the south and famous five stands yet. It’s a major cock up by Hibs on this one

Do you know this for a fact or are you making stuff up?

[Titch]

It’s how many businesses work so seems a fair question.

Excellent I’ve spent over £6k on hibs in the past two years for very little return I look forward to my priority in future.

Ps I think all season ticket holders regardless of “status” should have equal chance of tickets

Apart from the fcked seats in the South stand aye?

It’s just economics mate - you must’ve stumbled across this before? Maybe when you renewed your EE contract or whatever? Pay more you get an increased level of offers and/or customer service.

I’m not saying it’s right in this scenario (i sit in silver so might’ve still missed out) but it could’ve been a consideration.

Having said that the manual way they’re doing the allocation suggests it’s all a bit 1980s so I doubt they could’ve added any complexity in.

Why aren’t people getting this, we could’ve had all 4 stands open and constructed temporary stands in all 4 corners, we still wouldn’t have been allowed more than what was permitted last night due to the crowd number being set by the council.

Comms/interaction from Hibs have been much better recently, but regarding us actually getting into watch them it’s been a let down in my opinion. Hence we are left speculating what is actually going on.

Exactly mate and it’s the way it should be.

Do you need one of these every season like? :dunno:

[lord bunberry]

I can’t believe that people are looking for some kind of refund. :rolleyes:

You’ll get nothing mate - it’s not been the Hibs way recently. Those that paid for hospitality last year didn’t even get the food part of the package back (the food they never bought or cooked).

Try it with other companies though and they’ll look after you.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Just fairness and equality. If this is the only ballot required then those that missed could be offered a ticket to the Killie game or something.

[Andy74]

Yeah but they are set based on the set up which is why it a case by case basis - it does look as though we have taken the South and FF out of the equation and the CEO has referred to remedial works taking place. I'm sure it has gone hand in hand a bit that we've done the work because we know the council wanted lower numbers anyway.

[jeffers]

Where has this been presented as fact ? And if so why aren’t we pushing back on this. If it’s about social distancing it makes no sense to set a number that only utilises part of a stadium.

[CL0762]

Because the council announced we could have 5600 or whatever the number was, that is an undeniable fact. So whether it was 1 stand, 2 stands or 4 stands - that allowed capacity doesn’t change.

Wed have to pay Kilmarnock half the value of all those given a ticket. We just need to accept the clubs hands are tied on this, you’re either lucky or you’re not and move on. Hopefully this is the last time there’s any kind of ballot.

[Blurhibee]

Do you know this for a fact or are you making stuff up?

From who I heard it from it is pretty much fact. Think about it why were Hibs so grateful when the council allowed us 900 more seats for the game last night and the Ross county game.

[Danderhall Hibs]

They should look after their customers. They’ve paid for a game they’re not getting to see so let them see one.

The club hasn’t told us why we are only opening two stands. If they told the Council we were only opening two then the figure would have been based on that.

[CL0762]

When was this announced ? And as I said earlier how does that even make sense ?

Are you at the wind up here? Hibs have communicated via social media and our own website about the capacity

https://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/article/5-600-capacity-for-hnk-rijeka-visit

So, again. It doesn’t matter how many stands are open, the capacity allowed remains the same.

As shown by hearts having 4 stands open vs Celtic.

[CL0762]

The club hasn’t told us why we are only opening two stands. If they told the Council we were only opening two then the figure would have been based on that.

That would be correct if it weren’t for the fact hearts had less allowed against Celtic with 4 stands open.

[Andy74]

That would be correct if it weren’t for the fact hearts had less allowed against Celtic with 4 stands open.

You are making assumptions and basing them as fact. The council haven't said why they have come up with the numbers.

There are all sorts of factors to take into account in 2 very different stadiums. Hearts for example have very narrow seating, narrow spaces between rows, very limited entry and exit points etc.

The decisions are being made case by case and game by game - you don't know what difference it would have made if we had offered 4 stands for use.

No I’m clearly not at the windup. It says what we were allowed, what it doesn’t say is if this was based on having two stands open or four. Not sure how you interpret from that communication that the number was the same regardless of how many stands were available.

[007]

If that is the case then what's holding up the certificate? Would be interesting to know if it is on Hibs' side or the council's.

[tamig]

Agree with some of that. If there’s only 1 game where half miss out there should be recompense of sorts.

If there’s 2 games everyone misses one and it’s fair.

What a ridiculous concept. Where do you draw the line on that one? Absolute nonsense.

I see where you're coming from, but I look at it differently.....

If I buy Gold, I'm paying the standard price for a ticket.

If I buy Bronze, I get a discount off the standard price for having a crap seat. Silver, somewhere in-between the two.

Whereas others are saying, "if I buy Gold, I'm paying more for a decent seat".

It's a state of mind thing :greengrin
