Kilmarnock Game - Ticketing and capacity

[wookie70]

We are less that a week away from our next game at ER. No news on tickets yet and looks like it will all be a mad rush again. I imagine that there will be a crowd of 6-8k at best so surely we will get permission for that and we can all sit in our chosen seats given the rules for social distancing are relaxed. Why the hold up. I want to plan ahead for the Dundee game and no news on tat either from what I can see.

Haven't Glasgow and Aberdeen councils approved full capacity for their next home games post August 9th?

Hopefully Edinburgh City Council do the same. Though wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.

If so, then I hope Hibs tell us the reason why?

[Steven79]

I have heard rumours that EDC will not follow suit, I hope what I have heard is not true

Ourselves and Hearts should challenge it if that's the case.

[GreenCastle]

Yup - I feel we have had 2 mad weeks for fans and ticket office to sort and it’s not fair for those involved.

Tomorrow there 100% must be clarify on home games moving forward.

Let folk plan ahead - make travel / child care / social plans.

There is no reason why we should be increasing capacity especially with 2 stands lying empty and plenty space.

After Aberdeen fans pitch invasion today surely ACC must reconsider. If fans get that “exuberant” at winning a Category C match surely they cannot be trusted to behave responsibly at a full Pittodrie.

[Sir David Gray]

I have heard rumours that EDC will not follow suit, I hope what I have heard is not true

If that's true then there needs to be full scale peaceful protests from the fans and both Hibs and Hearts (as I'm assuming they'll also be affected) need to be coming together and demanding answers as to why two teams around 50 miles away have been told they can have between 50-60,000 fans as of tomorrow but we're not allowed up to 20,000.

I'd be interested to see the science behind such a decision

[wookie70]

I agree long term this needs sorted but for next week opening the behind the goals stands would allow us to provide tickets for everyone likely to attend. We still have no idea if it is the club or the council stopping these stands being used. They really need to get it sorted quickly as it simply isn't fair on the fans or the ticket office staff continually leaving it to the 11th hour.

[Ringothedog]

Surely not? Nah, surely not!!
I hope it is not true but if full stadiums were going to be allowed it would have been announced by now I would have thought. If the council don’t allow the unrestricted attendance will they pay compensation to our club and all local businesses who are affected by that decision?

Sorry but there is no way they can't allow it - there will rightly be uproar if they don't given Aberdeen and Glasgow CC decisions so I'm pretty sure they will have to follow suit...whether they like it or not

[Logie Green]

CEC Labour leader Cammy Day tweeted the other day suggesting that both us and hertz would be at full capacity as constructive talks had taken place between the relevant parties.

Apologies, just noticed someone has added his tweet to the thread.

[CMurdoch]

The clowncil officewallers will be back to work tomorrow and Rangers are playing Malmo on Tuesday night. The combo should bring things to a quick head so expect confirmation of numbers for the Kilmarnock game before 5pm on Tuesday.
I confidently predict every person that wants a ticket for the game will get one no matter what capacity is agreed.

It will be interesting to see whether walk ups take the opportunity to go and see their team and reckon only half of all season ticket holders will dip into their pocket again unless the price is realistic for a game against a Championship team in an early round of a tin pot cup.
Any more than £15 for adults will be a turn off.

[matty_f]

If the council restrict capacity while other councils aren’t, I’d fully support Hibs taking legal action over it. There would have to be an exceptionally good reason to say no, when the Glasgow clubs and others are not being restricted.

A tin pot cup?

What sort of sub-OF arrogance is that?

Apart from the League Cup, Hibs have won one Scottish Cup since the early 1950s.

If Hearts supporters came up with that sort of crap they would be flayed alive on here. And rightly so!

From a scientific point of view the biggest concern is with people using public transport and mingling before the game so I'd have thought that people coming from all over Scotland, England and Ireland to watch the old film would have been a higher risk than for matches in Edinburgh that will attract fans mainly from a much smaller radius

Given all other councils are granting full capacities; could it be that Edinburgh Council are putting the festival ahead of Hibs & Hearts here?? I assume they’ll want to prove the festivals can go ahead with full capacities not affecting case numbers so they can get the go ahead for the Christmas festivals.

No idea if that’s the case but it’s not inconceivable imo. Would be a joke if it was the case, can’t see any logical reason to be so out of tune with other councils.

Killie fans should 100% be allowed to attend this weekend. Of course that may help Killie but the bigger picture like Motherwell away is Scottish football needs fans in stadiums.

[Radium]

Email just arrived

Hibernian FC is today thrilled to announce the unrestricted return of supporters to Easter Road for matchdays.

City of Edinburgh Council has confirmed the welcome news that supporters will no longer require to be socially distanced in the stands at the stadium, meaning full capacity is returning. The Club thanks the council for their support and help during this challenging time.

The home Premier Sport League Cup match versus Kilmarnock at the weekend is expected to attract a crowd that can be accommodated by using only the East and West stands - giving a capacity of over 12,000 which, historically, is more than sufficient for the early rounds of the competition that is not available on the season book.

The North and South stands are not currently available whilst the club completes ongoing improvement and remedial works in both stands, which are Easter Road’s oldest. Keeping the capacity at 12,000 for this match will also be more operationally efficient and provide the club with a welcome cost-saving.

Ben Kensell, Chief Executive, said: “We are all really delighted to be able to welcome back our supporters. It is what everyone has been waiting for. While those fans who have attended our recent games have created a terrific atmosphere to spur the team on, we are looking forward to hearing what a full stadium can do.

“We are finishing off our programme of work in the North and South stands, and we expect to be able to accommodate all of our home support in their usual seats by the European play off match on August 26th if we are successful in Croatia this week, and certainly by the Livingston fixture scheduled for August 28th.

“Meantime I hope fans will really see that we are trying to create the best football experience in Scotland through the work we are doing with our sound system, with the kiosks, with work to improve the stadium’s appearance and with – very soon – the installation of big screens.”

If I'm reading this correctly, it looks like the discounted cup tickets are only available to new season ticket holders for this season and not to those who renewed from last season.

I find that a bit odd if that's the case but there still should be a discount available to anyone who is a new season ticket holder.

I am sure there were promises made for committing with uncertainty last season too ('benefits' to make it more value for money, experience days etc) that have never been fulfilled. Maybe they will be in future with the eased restrictions?

My biggest gripe last year was the lack of behind the scenes stuff at HTC. Daft wee promises that don’t cost much to the club but mean a huge amount to fans shouldn’t be hard to keep. These discounts are the same. Sloppy is a very good description of it.

Yes there were and as you say they never came to pass.

I paid my season ticket last season at the new higher rate, fully aware there was no guarantee I would see any football. I was happy to do so. What I’m not happy with is being taken for granted, supposed benefits not coming to pass, missing out on a game others get to attend, receiving an email with “ghost tickets” and Hibs attitude appearing to be tough sh*t.

I just assumed that nothing happened last year due to all the various restrictions but I'm certainly expecting season ticket holders from this season and last to be given what they were promised at some point in the near future now that we're pretty much free of all restrictions.

This isn't very good from Hibs. Appreciate there is a lot going on but these tickets should have been discounted as per the club's promise. Not impressed so far this season with the club off the pitch. We still don't know if season ticket holders missing the first home league game of the season was down to Hibs or the Council either.

We were restricted to 5,600 tickets on Sunday by the council as social distancing rules applied until yesterday.

[Power]

Fair flags here. I was asked a similar question elsewhere. There is a discount for all STH for this one.

If the game goes to an open sale on Thursday for non-Season ticket holders the prices will increase £2 for adults and £1 for all concessions.

The other benefits are being planned at the moment (something at the front of my mind) - for instance the open training day requires our fixtures to be more solid (lots of changes with Europe at the moment).

Not having that, are you really telling us that non STH Hibs fans will pay more than Killie fans for seats in the same stand? That’s not a discount for STH’s, they’re paying the same as away fans.

I think the issue is more about the clubs pricing policy . We always seem to be the highest or around there, for these types of games . The non STH tickets being 2 pound dearer, doesn’t really respond to the real issue when Celtic are charging 17 pounds for an adult V Hearts and we are charging 20 quid for a game against championship Killie .

For many it won’t be an issue, but it’s fair for those who have posted to note the pricing approach is almost always higher than most others.

[Real Emerald]

Fair flags here. I was asked a similar question elsewhere. There is a discount for all STH for this one.

If the game goes to an open sale on Thursday for non-Season ticket holders the prices will increase £2 for adults and £1 for all concessions.

The other benefits are being planned at the moment (something at the front of my mind) - for instance the open training day requires our fixtures to be more solid (lots of changes with Europe at the moment).

So season ticket holders in the West stand can’t get access to their seats to accommodate Killie fans who will pay less than walk up Hibs fans. That’s not very clever.

[JimBHibees]

Not your fault but hibs are absolutely winging it here and it’s clear to see.

Who the **** is in charge of this stuff?

Any need for that? :rolleyes:

[blackpoolhibs]

I think the standard answer here is, they are under pressure, and working late in the evening too. :wink:

[The Harp Awakes]

Assume it will just have been missed maybe new staff in who weren't here when the promises were made. Again assume will be quickly resolved.

That's what it looks like to me, probably a genuine mistake. Best for the club to come clean and admit it otherwise this is going to end up a car crash.

Kids prices are a joke at Easter Road (apart from season tickets in the FFL) and clubs like Motherwell are looking at the future far more than we are with their cheap tickets for kids.

They charge £3 for kids tickets per match while we charge between £10 - £14 so you can buy a under 15 season ticket for the same price that we charge for a under 11 match ticket.

We also charge £105 for a kids season ticket in the majority of seats inside the stadium which is way too high.

That rises to £165 after the early bird...

As for the game on Sunday, Two adults season ticket holders with two kids would have to pay £60 and if the kids were over 11 then add another fiver on for each.

Long term this short term approach will start to hit the club if adults stop bringing their kids becuase of the price.

Also way to reward fans for sticking by the team as we all paid for season tickets last season and didn't get to a single match along with half the season ticket holders unable to see the opening home fixture of the season last Sunday.

[Real Emerald]

I think that would be their best option. I know a few people who had ST’s last year but due to the pandemic couldn’t afford to renew this year. A bit of a kick in the teeth that Killie fans can buy cheaper tickets than them for the first restriction free game back.

Big fan of your work KP but that doesn’t add up when it’s £20 for the Killie fans. If someone’s made a mistake it’s best just to admit that and move on.

[ian cruise]

The Killie tickets are only available to their season ticket holders and those who took part in their privileged seat holder scheme. The club already faced a fan backlash over a promise to reimburse tickets from last season so it's not out with the realms of possibility they're making a similar deal for their season ticket holders with a discounted rate as we are for ours, hence the £20 price.

[Steven79]

My understanding is that both teams come to an agreement over pricing and it's the home team's season ticket holders who get a discount.

Whilst I agree in parts, it’s easier for a club like Motherwell to do so. They don’t have a huge support and need to get all the fans they can through the gate and have plenty empty seats that wouldn’t be sold otherwise. Hibs games are >50% sold through ST’s, and another 10% or so through away fans (20% for cat A games), so we only have another 30% of tickets to sell. Most of these get snapped up most weeks, our income would therefore take a hit if we were to start slashing prices.

Now, whether I agree with the above or not, that’s the long and short of it and can see it from both sides. But also why it’s so hard to compare us to Motherwell, although they’ve to be completely commended for the work they do!

Compare our kids prices to most teams in the league and you will see that we charge far too much.

[hibbysam]

I’ve never checked and don’t take kids so haven’t needed to compare but most clubs fall under the same scenario I put for Motherwell, they’d rather a kid at £5 than a seat sitting empty, and they have thousands of seats empty. We are different in that regard. I also don’t think £10-14 (going by your post) is too much for a kid going to a top level football game.

[Steven79]

Do we charge more than Celtic / Rangers.

I know Celtic used to charge less than us but I'm not sure about their current prices.

They used to charge £7/£9 for kids per game.

[ian cruise]

My understanding is that both teams come to an agreement over pricing and it's the home team's season ticket holders who get a discount.

Is that an official rule? I wasn't claiming the above was fact by the way, but I could see teams offering their season ticket holders a discount on away ties if they were allowed to try make up for disappointments over last season.

If the rules are only home fans are allowed discounts then that won't be the case.

[Anthony Soprano]

Someone's made an arse of this.

For all the positive changes we've made, the club are still poor at rewarding loyalty, ST holders being taken for granted.

The fact a Hibs fan would have would have to pay more for a ticket on general sale than a Killie fan is an absolute joke and it's clear no discount was initially intended.

Will watch this one on the TV.

[Peevemor]

The fact a post above states the Killie tickets are £20 would suggest there is no discount being applied?If Hibs sell out to ST holders only then the highest priced ticket is £20. Normally you're not permitted to charge away fans more than your highest priced home ticket.

Maybe that's the reason?

[hibbysam]

If Hibs sell out to ST holders only then the highest priced ticket is £20. Normally you're not permitted to charge away fans more than your highest priced home ticket.

That’s not the case, Hibs would just have to stump up the £2 for every paying fan to make up the ‘discount’ when it comes to the gate split.

[Steven79]

We keep hearing that "Both teams needs to agree to the pricing" So how come other clubs always charge less than us for cup ties.

Hearts always seem to have cheaper tickets for cup ties even when playing smaller teams that would fancy a pay day against a "Big team"

When they played Auchinleck Talbot in the Scottish Cup back in 2019 the prices were £15 for adults, £10 for concessions and U16's £5.

If we had played them then the prices would probably have been an extra £5 each so make up your own mind on who is telling the truth...

[soul_driver]

We were restricted to 5,600 tickets on Sunday by the council as social distancing rules applied until yesterday.

Obviously I know that but was that figure based on 2 stands or 4 stands being available. That's what we don't know.

[Sir David Gray]

I don't think it's an official rule in that the home team's season ticket holders must get into cup games at a discounted price, I just mean that when the price is agreed between the two clubs, if the home team wants to provide a discount to its season ticket holders then it's only them who benefit.

I've never heard of the home team's non-season ticket holders paying more than the away fans.

[Steven79]

Yawn!

We have been promised something (Not for the first time either) and it's not happening.

We paid good money last season and didn't get into the ground either, no fault of Hibs obviously but it's nothing like "What's in it for me" just a case of loyalty going both ways.

Maybe you are the one that needs to grow up?

[soul_driver]

I think that's likely to be proven to be the case in the end. (Killie absorbing the cost)

Biggest issue here now is the the price is clearly pushing to the limit of acceptable to many. I'll probably pay it and go as I enjoy the day out, but can see the issue.

Early cup came against a Championship team should never cost £22. That's a Cat A price from not too long ago.

I don’t think anyone is that interested in £2 TBH. It’s the principle of making sure your own season ticket holders and fans are shown some appreciation for keeping the club going and renewing ST’s two years on the trot not knowing whether you are going to get in or not. It is a PR own goal.

Maybe it is, but their fans are paying it. This is one of the reasons we will never compete with them on a financial basis.

Close on £1m even if they get knocked out in the next round . We have to win tomorrow not just for the kudos but the dosh we could make.

They are making that from a couple of games. If they by some miracle get to the group stages then they are earning millions more. We have to beat Rijeka, this will help us retain our better players

I disagree. I don’t think our fans expect the cheapest tickets, but some of us take issue with what we believe to be the most expensive ones. The argument maybe holds up to an extent now we are competing at the top of the league but cup tickets have been high for as long as I can remember even when we haven’t had a team as good as we have now.

Where I do agree is getting further in Europe is clearly a way of increasing revenue. I just don’t agree, which may not have been what you meant, that fans aren’t backing the club.

Our fans definitely back the club as best we can. I just get irritated when have pages of discussion on the price of tickets and hot debates on why we should reduce the price. I for one would want the cup top up brought back
This would take away a lot of the problems with cup ticket pricing

How many is ‘lots’?

It’s been done to death but heavily discounting tickets does not increase the crowd proportionally to make up the difference.

Could the tickets have been cheaper as some sort of ‘pay back’ or ‘thanks’ for the support in season tickets last year…maybe but would a few quid off really have registered that much for the few thousand that will bother to go along anyway?

That said they do seem to have missed the discount thing but hey ho there is a new boss at the helm so things might take a wee while to settle into a rhythm.

As it is I’m fine with Hibs trying to maximise revenue and not gonna get too upset about the prices for this one match.

Could the tickets have been cheaper as some sort of ‘pay back’ or ‘thanks’ for the support in season tickets last year…maybe but would a few quid off really have registered that much for the few thousand that will bother to go along anyway?

That said they do seem to have missed the discount thing but hey ho there is a new boss at the helm so things might take a wee while to settle into a rhythm.

As it is I’m fine with Hibs trying to maximise revenue and not gonna get too upset about the prices for this one match.

I wouldn't have a problem if the club charged a bit extra for the Euro games but they should have reduced it a bit for a Championship team in the round of 16 of the Premier Cup.

Maybe it is, but their fans are paying it. This is one of the reasons we will never compete with them on a financial basis. They will make about £250k more than us in gate receipts, will more than likely go through to the next round which is at least another £200k in prize money and a potential full house worth another £500k. Close on £1m even if they get knocked out in the next round . We have to win tomorrow not just for the kudos but the dosh we could make.
It’s got nothing to do with why we can’t compete with them on a financial basis. Their turnover is much bigger than ours and that’s got nothing to do with charging a bit more for the odd European game.

£10 adults, £5 concessions/kids for Livi v St Mirren.
It’s hardly comparable. Livingston have a 10,000 capacity stadium and a core support of 1,000 or so. Hibs have (for this match) a 11,000 capacity stadium (home section) and a core support of 13,000-14,000?

Best of luck to Livingston in building up a decent core support. It can’t be easy in an area traditionally dominated by Rangers a lot of support for Celtic, Hearts and Hibs.

[lord bunberry]

I bought tickets earlier and at the final stage I got a message saying that there was an error but I should get an email confirmation of my purchase. I’ve not had that email and there’s no tickets showing in my account, but my bank has £50 pending to hibs. Has anyone else had this problem?


Edit. I’m talking pish, they were in my account history, I just clicked resend email and I got confirmation.

[Real Emerald]

Poor post. FF ST holders can’t get access to their own seats.

Just caught up with this. “Poor post”! It’s a fact that season ticket holders in the West stand are being denied access to their seats to accommodate Killie fans, who in turn are paying less to go to the game than non ST holder Hibs fans. I’m very aware the FF ST holders are also unable to purchase seats and I was able by being quick to buy my own East Stand seat. It was a fact not a “poor post”, to be clear.

Anyway it’s I irrelevant now, just hope we all enjoy being back and get through to the next round. 🤞👍🇳🇬

We never get near the 1/2 of season ticket holders at this stage of the tournament

[Mikey_1875]

Notice Kilmarnock have said they have just under 200 left going to general sale so it’s likely they will sell their 1000 allocation. Should make for a good atmosphere hopefully.

[jeffers]

Have the prices been confirmed for general sale ?

Hibs haven't announced anything today with regards to Sunday's match as far as I can see.

[Mikey_1875]

Logged out of my account for a look and seems you can buy them on general sale now for £20.

[hibeedonald]

Just bought 2 in the General Sale, £20 each.

[jeffers]

Cheers for the replies, so the chat about season ticket holders getting discount was in fact pish after all.

[Sir David Gray]

Surely not, we were told the other day that if it went to a general sale the cost would be £22 for an adult ticket.

I think a senior member of staff from the club needs to come out and explain exactly what's going on here.

[hibbysam]

Cheers for the replies, so the chat about season ticket holders getting discount was in fact pish after all.

Of course it will be, let’s be honest it was clear when both ours and Killies prices were identical that someone had dropped the ball on it 😂 then trying to recover it by making up some nonsense without telling ticketmaster about it.

Nothing about general sale in the original release about tickets, and here we are with 3 days to go until the game with absolutely nothing from the club about it to try and push ticket sales.

[EdinburghHibern]

Maybe would have been good for the club to do something for those that missed out in the ballot for the Ross County game or indeed the fans who bought season tickets last season and didn't see a single game in person.

Don't know how Motherwell are able to give out free season tickets this season but what a gesture that is.

Motherwell are a fan owned club so can do what they want.
Think they have been too generous but must be able to afford it.
Perhaps they didn't sell many ST'S last season and those were to the die hards who will still want to put their money in.

Nail on head, it’s a fan owned club with fans making decisions that are unlikely to make any business sense whatsoever, in the long or the short term. I’m so glad Hibs are not run by the contributors to the various football forums

[CMurdoch]

Ron, as before I will offer you a fair £20 for 2 tickets for my son and myself for Sunday.
Remember our family and many others gave you loads of money last season for little return to help your club in your time of need.

No

Suit yourself businessman.
Good luck on selling 12,000 at those prices.

I know that. What disappointed me more than anything was Kieran being expected to come on here and spin the line that there was a discount. Pretty poor way to treat him and more so us as fans. Really not been a good couple of weeks from Hibs with regards ticketing.

[Potty78]

Adults £15 and kids free would have been a shout.

:agree: Last night aside things are looking largely positive on the pitch but off it there's quite a few things I'm really disappointed about.

Hibs really need to up their game off the park, it's really not good enough in my opinion failing to honour one of the main perks of having a season ticket even if we are just talking about £2.

[Moulin Yarns]

Is ther not a thing that both clubs has to agree ticket prices, maybe it's the case that Killie wanted the higher price. Just a thought.

It is,but I doubt every team that comes to Easter road in an early round cup tie refuses to accept a reduction in price,but we will never know.
Went on the ticketing and hibs are charging £22 for a general sale ticket,so we did get our £2 season ticket discount after all!

I have no idea, just think Hibs and Killie could have agreed to make it cheaper and get more kids in. League cup crowds now until the final are never great!

[Leitherhibs]

So Hibs are charging £22 for a League Cup game in which we'll likely sell less than 5k?

£20 was the limit for me, it's only £2 but I'm not paying extra.

Incredible that we're asking more from our walk up support than the opposition support.

Great way to get supporters on board.

Madness. They’ve clearly ‘forgotten’ about the promised discount and tried to mask it by doing something that is even worse.

No way should any Hibs supporter be paying more than a Killie fan to sit in the same stand in our own stadium.

They’ve got this well wrong.

Looks like that's exactly what they have done.
I would have charged everybody 20.

That's true.

Only explanation that might help to clear things up is if Kilmarnock have paid the difference to allow their fans to get in for the cheaper price.

If not then there's still some explaining to do from whoever is in charge of ticketing.

[The Harp Awakes]

Mentioned earlier in the thread that I thought this was heading for a car crash. Looks like the crash has happened but no-one is around to pick up the pieces.

Someone has mucked up here, just as every human being on the planet does from time to time. When it happens, you just need to put your hands up, apologise, learn from your mistakes then move on.

A classic off the pitch, own goal sadly.

Two posts on this thread yesterday at 16:21 and 16:22 confirmed two people bought tickets yesterday in the general sale for £20.

If that is indeed true then not only did season ticket holders not get their discount but it would seem some general sale ticket holders are paying more than others.

Very odd goings on.

They were definitely £20 yesterday available for anyone to buy, checking now and they are up to £22. Can only assume someone missed the deadline to put the prices up because as you said yesterday there was no official announcement about tickets being available on general sale, but people were clearly able to buy them if they logged on yesterday.

I saw that SDG, I wondered if maybe they were season ticket holders who’d just bought their tickets once the general sale started and had got the “discounted” price.

An explanation would be nice. The ghost tickets was another F up, but at least with that Ben came on and apologised. The silence on this one however isn’t impressive. Too often at present the club are making no comment and appearing to hope we’ll just forget about it.

Cheers I assume you bought them at £20 as a non-season ticket holder?

No I bought mine as ST on Tuesday, was interested to see what price they were selling them on general sale though so just made sure I was logged out of my account and had a look (too much time on my hands :greengrin) Think there was a post below with someone actually purchasing them at £20 though.

100%. No blame will go to someone passing on a message, those behind the scenes need to take a hard look at themselves this week.

£20 was the limit for me, it's only £2 but I'm not paying extra.

The crowd will surely be bigger than 5k? Last night's disappointment will have stalled sales but I'd be surprised if the take-up is as low as that.

Look at the sales on the online stadium plan, 5k won't be far off. Very poor but I blame the pricing structure.

We always get low crowds in these rounds, and fans have had a lot of extra games to pay for, so not really a surprise. Some fans have not even been able to use their paid for, season ticket yet!

Hibs v Morton in this round 2 years ago, had just over 6,500 at it

[He's here!]

Said it the other day, but a lot of fans will still be in unforgiving mood from the cup final (just look at how season ticket sales slowed to a trickle after that), while last night's result will all but kill Sunday's sales. I also think that after 18 months or so of not being able to attend football some fans will have realised there are more fulfilling and less expensive things to do than watch Hibs every week and will be more selective with their games (I count myself among them).

2 years ago we hadn’t been deprived of football for almost 18 months. We’ve only had 3 or 4 games at ER since fans were allowed back so I’m surprised and a little disappointed that the numbers for this game seem so low. I thought fans would be desperate to get back to see Hibs (even at these prices).

Billy, only a few days ago folk were going radge that 2 stands were closed and Hibs had dropped the ball and it was an outrage, we want full capacity etc etc. Look at the sales. Pitiful. Could fit everyone in the East stand alone.

You’d think though after an 18months hiatus fans that haven’t been able to attend yet would be desperate. It’s not normal circumstances in that this is the first game there’s been enough capacity for everyone who wants to go to get a ticket

I agree with the poster who’s saying some fans are still in an unforgiving mood since the cup final. Imo if we’d won the cup we’d have been looking at another 13k ST holders and full capacity (12k I believe) for this game.
