Hibs v Livi tickets

[hibbysam]

Aye, this is the thing mate, it's not a bad deal for season ticket holders. Even if you buy a non-early bird ST in a gold seat, it still only costs £23 per match on average. That's pretty decent and the club should be commended for that, especially when there are good payment options for staggering the cost over 6 or 10 months. But like you say, this will be the new norm for Category B league games, and that is worrying. I don't know how we are meant to attract new fans if that's the cost of an adult ticket for even the most bog-standard of Hibs games? And for those saying 'you can still get them for £24!', you can, but in something like 16% of the ground, with existing season ticket holders already there too. So I don't really buy this idea that it's somehow a good deal for walk-ups, it isn't at all, and I think it's incumbent on all of us (ST holders and non-ST holders alike) to try and make the club rethink this

So £23 per match season ticket is pretty decent - but you want walk ups to be £20 across the board. That’s insane.

Whilst we're at it we can start charging by postcode.

[ABZHFC]

I want it to be £20 a game for walk ups at most and £18 a game or something like that on average for season ticket holders

[hibbyfraelibby]

...and you want the club to go bust in the process. Now away and behave yourself and go watch your local Dons

[Antifa Hibs]

Btw it is £23 to watch Cheltenham town who have just gone up to league 1 down south. And people think we should be cheaper than that?

BTW its £15 to watch Brondby play in the top flight of the Danish league. And people think we should be twice the price of that?




There seems to be a different tone from
Hibs fans on returning to the games than we are seeing at Aberdeen and Hearts (for example). These guys seem to be coming back in Hibees, eager to get a ticket . Hearts/Aberdeen game was sold out I believe (or thereabouts)..

We seem to have a number of fans still not going back to the match. I’ll be surprised if we get over 11k on Saturday ..

Wonder why there seems such a difference …


That will be the same Aberdeen who are begging their fans every single day on twitter to turn up tomorrow because as it stands Pitodrie will be 1/3 empty?

Also there was nearly 3000 empty seats at Tynie on Sunday....

[CentreLine]

Personally I would have more empathy with the small but noisy number complain about ticket pricing if there had been more of a reaction when it was found, not so long ago, that there was a problem with adults buying and using child and other concession tickets. Instead, that was was rather brushed over. A surprising number of people have a kind of sliding level of morality depending on how and where they can “justify” their actions. Sometimes the more honest people need to pick up the slack for the people who have found a “loophole”. That’s life I suppose 😏

[Onceinawhile]

So, how are ticket sales looking?

Anyone know how many livi are expecting?

[JimBHibees]

In a nutshell :aok:

I'm fortunate in that I have a season ticket, so I maybe shouldn't comment on walk up prices, but £28 for Livvi feels steep.

If that's the new norm for the smaller league games I can see why folk are concerned.

Wouldn't disagree. Also have season and also think 28 too much. What are the prices for bigger games?

[HH81]

Not announced yet but most likely looking at 35.00 quid at a guess?

Ticket prices are going the wrong way and as long as we keep paying it ain’t gonna stop. I made a decision not to go based purely on price for the Arsenal friendly, something I have never done before. If I didn’t have a Season ticket already I wouldn’t be paying these walk up prices either.

[St Pauli Hibee]

Totally agree, £28 for Livingston is to much. I am a season ticket holder but I think the last time we had walk-ups the price was £23

I think across the city they are charging £34 for Cat A games with £29 for Cat B games, so unfortunately I think this will be the "New Normal"

[hibbysam]

You just said £23 per game was decent and the club should be commended for it. I’m confused now. So £23 isn’t decent and you want it a fiver cheaper?

[hibbysam]

Only 1/4 but 15k for a European game is a fairly decent return for them. Their home crowds aren’t the best and we know the majority of their fans are from down here. Getting up there during the week isn’t enjoyable.

I'm the same, I thought the Arsenal ticket prices were disgraceful and had no hesitation in refusing to go.

If we draw Livingston at home in the Scottish Cup and it's £28 for a ticket then I think I'd need to refuse that too.

I certainly wouldn't be paying £28 on Saturday.

It's weird.

I bought my ST in the same seat as always and didn't give the price a second thought.

If I didn't have a ST I can safely say I would not pay £28 for any league game other than maybe Hearts.

But if the price for a ST was nearer say £500 or whatever, than the £440 i think I paid, I would still have bought the ST.

Mental innit.

Not sure how accurate this is but here's a list of the TV deals by league. Not sure how this is all distributed mind

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_domestic_football_league_broadcast_deals_b y_country

[gorgie greens]

I doubt there are many gold tickets in the West which go on general sale. Mostly filled with season tickets. This means that most patg fans will pay the lower price.

With regards to averaging out season ticket costs over the season I suspect the majority of season ticket holders will miss at least one game a season.

Not so simple.

I agree with your sentiments about cheaper tickets but we would lose out on income. It is a very difficult one.

Well I certainly missed one game already due to not getting a ticket in the ballot and other parasites selling their seats for that game , so my ticket has cost me more already

[Antifa Hibs]

Only 1/4 but 15k for a European game is a fairly decent return for them. Their home crowds aren’t the best and we know the majority of their fans are from down here. Getting up there during the week isn’t enjoyable.

Their stadium is 22,199 according to Wiki so will me more than one third empty.

[Ronniekirk]

So can you turn up on the day and buy a ticket at the shop or a pod , might have a few people that are gong through to Edinburgh and wouldn’t mind going to the game

Got a student ticket for a mate of mine. Works out to be £17.50 overall (£16 for ticket plus £1.50 collection fee as no option to print/digital ticket). That's one of the cheaper tickets! Too steep if you ask me.

There won't be any pods as there's no way for them to store your contact details for track and trace.

Ticket office open on Saturday. From the official site.

We cannot wait to welcome ALL of our season ticket holders in their own seats, where they can reconnect with old friends and share in a match day once again. We want to fill the home ends on Saturday and there are two ways to do that if you haven’t already secured your season ticket.

You can still purchase a Season Ticket and take advantage of the 6-month payment plan through V12. Similar to the 8-month and 10-month options previous, the plan includes an arrangement fee charged in the first month of financing. This finance option is available until midday on Friday 3rd September. You can secure your seat by clicking here.

The other way is to purchase your ticket via the General Sale at (Hibernian v Livingston)

The Ticket office will be open on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 10am to 3pm should you wish to purchase either of the above in person.

Come and join us for the return to full capacity and cheer on the league leaders.

[Blaster]

Ticket office is open 10-3 on Saturday for walk up tickets

[gbhibby]

We get out football cheap. Hibs should be charging a minimum of £40. If this deters the riff-raff and the more unsavory elements, then so be it.
That sense of humour will get you into trouble on here. 😁

[King Cosell]

We want the club to pull in as much money as possible but at the same time we don't want fans priced out. Maybe it would be an idea to offer 500 adult tickets at £15 (or 1000 at £18 or something similar), first-come first-served, for every home game.

[Eyrie]

Surely the only equitable solution is for fans to provide Hibs with details of their income so that ticket prices can be set accordingly.

Unemployed and want to watch us play Livingston? That'll be £5 please.

Mega bucks lawyer and want to watch us play Livingston? That'll be £125 please.

Paying at the gate/pod definitely a thing of the past though, at least until track and trace is binned anyway.

20,866.

[ahibby]

In 1988 I went to see Hibs vs Aberdeen with Archibald playing. I paid £3 at the gate. The UK Retail Price Index was about 100. Now it is about 300. So my equivalent price now is £9. Up 200% but at £28 it is up 833%!

The club needs to do something more scientific about pricing. If we get 3,000 paying £28 then we need 4,200 at £20. We need to properly test what this price/demand relationship is for Hibs - the so called price elasticity. Hopefully, the new CEO is smart enough to carry this our.

Why not then have a pop at Edinburgh Council who have raised
Their garden waste collection price by over forty per cent, British Gas Boiler Plans by iver ten per cent and the list goes on. If folk have a problem with prices why the heck whinge ti customers, better to write to the organisations and bend their ears.

Probably as it won’t make a blind bit of difference. If prices are too high, punters simply won’t go. Hopefully Saturday will sell out tho.

[Ringothedog]

Quick look online and i would guess there are about 3500 tickets available in the home end

[wookie70]

So around 12,500 or so sold then Still a wee bit more than I would probably expect given there are a few days left. A crowd of 13-14k would be decent for a game v Livi

[Since452]

Think i'm going to head along to this with my wee lass. Know others who are going but not bought tickets yet.

[Billy Whizz]

One thing I’d wish we would do is give low prices on kids tickets in FFL. It’s £50 for a kid for a season ticket, which is fantastic value, £2.63 a game
However to go to the Livvi game on Saturday it’s £11

Motherwell always do a kids and adult price, think it’s was £24 for an adult, but £28 for an adult and 2 kids
It’s £26 for an adult in FFL on Saturday, maybe could offer something like £34 for an adult and 2 kids!
We really need to be getting the younger generation of Hibs fans into ER, loads of availability in this family stand

[Garymcl]

Got two extra tickets today makes 6 in our group for Saturday the two extra are family members from down south I’ve told them about our great fans and wonderful stadium :greengrin So looking forward to Saturday been a long time since I’ve been there pre COVID cmon all hibbys get down to the Leith San Siro and get right behind our boys they deserve it hopefully still top of the league come Saturday :flag:

Can't wait!! It's been 17 months since my last game, and the least said about that game the better.

Hibernian playing at home at 3pm on a Saturday. What's not to love!

[hibIBZ]

Had a look as I did fancy it this weekend as its been so long. Had been feeling that I had lost the buzz a bit so thought i would go and see how it is.
But for me there has to be a cut off line with prices and it has gone over it for me. By the time I add travel costs, it's just not justifiable.

I'm pretty upset that it has finally reached this level, but other priorities have to come first these days unfortunately.
I understand the club needs as much money as it can generate, but I just can't do it any more

Haha I am just pointing how football has been priced out of the reach of lower paid and poor. Even in Scotland. Imagine you are unmoved and getting say £60 a week in benefits. At £9 a game you might be able to go occasionally not at £28 a game.

I think it's a fair point. We're trying to restart the fan experience of going to matches and kick start the habit again for the entire supporter base.

There will be plenty who don't need any persuasion of course but we should be doing what we can to get people excited about going to Easter Road again and I don't think the club have put up enough to get that buzz going beyond telling me about the food on sale and the rules I have to stick to.

It seems like, outside any live event, Hibs tv content is shrinking to just post match highlights and full game - with other output being on YouTube with excerpts on the likes of Twitter. The whole press conference output seems to have been dropped with cherry picked bits inserted into the buzz. To be fair the questioning of the media in that was never really posed from a hibs fan’s perspective and was either wallowing in weegieness or in Brian McGlaughin cringe.:wink: Other than international customers, free season ticket access means very few may now be paying for hibs tv so dedicated extra content on that channel may be thing of the past. Will be interesting to see how it sits in the overall output once we emerge into more normal times.

Quite like the buzz though wish they’d say someone is a hibbie not a high-bee :greengrin

It’s not just this week, it’s every week now unfortunatelyEven though it's early doors, we're sitting top of the league and have a perfectly winnable fixture tomorrow.

Anyone not going because they haven't seen the pre match pressers is just looking for an excuse.

[Ronniekirk]

It’s Livingstone we are playing anything above 15 thousand would be a very good attendance imo

I agree re. cost etc. but "not much coming from the club" isn't a valid excuse IMO.

People itching to get back will have been checking details regularly. I've also had emails from the club every day this week about tomorrow's match.

Fans who want to go don't need adverts.

Everything feels very low key. They should be making a big fuss. Should have been making a big fuss for weeks leading up.

You’re right that people who want to go don’t need that. It’s more for the people that maybe aren’t sure about going.

Now we're doing our talking on the park...

There was also a lot of people saying that, despite the relative success, they just didn’t feel it with this team. That maybe has something to do with it as well, I don’t know. I just always imagined the first proper game back at ER being quite a big thing, full crowd etc. Just feels like a run of the mill league game.

[gaz1875]

You'll forget about Covid after a few minutes into the game. To be honest most did wear masks to and from their seats at all the games at ER.

I shall also wear my mask. I'm just glad to be back :agree:

[Mainstandman]

Why would anyone buy a season ticket and watch on TV at home? Seems crazy to me

My mum and dad are in this catergory both in 80s and been going to games for 70 years but staying away from crowds. They’re happy to pay the money to support the club

You have to question the commitment of such armchair fans.

Only joking - good on them

It’s not just this week, it’s every week now unfortunately

Wonder why that is?

Just had a quick look and whatever the problem was previously they seem to have sorted it.

Tickets on sale now.

Majority of the middle sections only have individual seats, end sections markedly more empty. Famous five bottom left and top right corners very empty. Probably 2.5/3k or so empty - plus the away end (3500 if livi bring a few hundred) so looking at 13/14k.

There are fans of all clubs who live either abroad, or at least too far away from ER to go regularly, who want to back the club financially and can afford to buy season tickets that they will rarely use. Friend of mine used to live and work in Krakov and only got to games when visiting family in Scotland (maybe once or twice a season) but still bought a season ticket.

[Keith_M]

Before the Scottish Cup win, we used to have average attendances somewhere between ~10k for a poor season and ~14k when we were playing really well.


We had an attendance boost after the Scottish Cup win that lasted about three/four seasons but it's possible that's now worn off a bit and we're just returning to the range of attendances we had before.

It will be interesting to see how crowds hold up across the board this season. It's been so long since going to the football was a 'normal' experience that I suspect a not insignificant number of fans have found other (potentially more fulfilling and less expensive) things to do at the weekend. Football is pricey when you're taking family along and if we're honest it can often be quite boring for young kids. My own kids drifted away from football some time before Covid and play other sports at the weekend, which I now enjoy watching again now that restrictions are steadily being lifted. It's a social occasion where you can meet up with other parents and I don't mind admitting I now get more out of that than the prospect of going to ER regularly. Pre kids, when hitting the pub a few hours before the game was a regular option, I used to plan my whole day around the football but now I just don't get that buzz and am likely just to pick and choose games when time allows.

Others may well still be feeling cautious around Covid, while I also think some will be waiting to see evidence that this team have more clout about them than the one which fell so flat in the Scottish Cup final.

I've never heard so much tosh in my life.....just don't feel it with this team!?!? If that is true then some folk need to have a serious word with themselves.

Tbh I’m sick of all the emails from them about this game. It’s been non stop all week and all over the socials. Unless the did a full page advert in the Pink there isn’t much else to do.

[H18 SFR]

I’m not going with the kids today, wife organised some crap down at Portpatrick for today. I will make sure she regrets this low blow.

Plenty folk have said, repeatedly on here for most of last season that they didn’t enjoy watching us and they weren’t convinced with Jack Ross. That’s not tosh, there has been loads of debates about it.

Behave yourself, we are top of the league and looking very good on the ball. Try getting behind the team.

If anyone thinks we aren't playing good football this season their eyes must be painted on.

[RoxburghHibs]

100% agreed.

Some Hibs fans just like a moan. We’re top of the league playing some decent football. We need to shore up our defence, for sure, but that will come.

Tricky game today but any win is a really good result.

[B.H.F.C]

Think you’re totally missing my point.

I am behind the team. I’ve been at every game. I’m back in my season ticket seat today.

I’m merely pointing out a potential reason as to why demand might not be quite what I expected. Not sure where the ‘behave yourself’ stuff comes from in anything I’ve said. Not actually commented on whether I think it’s good, bad or indifferent myself.

Fair enough but I wouldn't waste my time or breath on folk who say they can't connect, 5 years ago we were in the Championship for the 3rd year in a row, what do they expect?

[lord bunberry]

I’m going to the game, but used to look forward to the pre match interviews on Hibs TV/YouTube channel. We get next to nothing now
You’ll get a review pre game on Hibs TV international, local Hibs fans get nothing
I’m the same, I’ll be at the game but I really enjoyed the press conference. I’d normally watch it on a Saturday morning around now. They should definitely bring it back.

[1van Sprou7e]

Did you select postage or collection?

Didn't get any option, and email doesn't contain any e-ticket...

Anyone know what I'm supposed to do? As far as I know the ticket office is closed

Go into your ticketing account and click resend email and you should get your ticket.

Thank you

I think it's possible that I need to collect as it's a student ticket so they need prove of my educational status, don't think I got the option for a digital ticket

[CMurdoch]

Thank you

Could well be that although new students won't have matriculated yet so won't be able to produce a matriculation card.
Note the ticket office doors are closed, you need to go to the windows round the back.

That was true fir a lot of games last season but we are defo playing more attractive football and scoring goals to date this Season

People are out of practice and Hibs not putting tickets on sale until the start of this week won’t have helped with ticket sales. Now that’s us back to normal and people can plan ahead properly I think the St Mirren game next month will be a higher attendance, especially if we get a good result against Hearts

Totally agree mate. If folk can’t see the rapid progress we are making then they’re probably watching the wrong sport, or need to turn Sky sports off on a Saturday night if that’s what they’re comparing us to.

[hibbysam]

We had an attendance boost after the Scottish Cup win that lasted about three/four seasons but it's possible that's now worn off a bit and we're just returning to the range of attendances we had before.

Didn’t our average drop to about 7/8k pre cup win? Or was that just tail end of the season attendances?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Not sure about Championship, I was just going by Premier(ship) attendances.

We still had about 10k the season we were relegated, and have never dropped below 9k this century.

Maybe some seasons were so miserable we just imagine it was even worse

[wookie70]

What does the current season ticket look like. I have found the tickets I used the season before last and presume they must be it as the club surely didn't issue tickets when there were no games to go to. I found my e-ticket but I refuse to put card details into my phone so that is no use.

The Season Tickets that I think are the correct ones are solid green

Sometimes life gets in the way. I got my father-in-law out of hospital yesterday and daughter went in to hospital last night. Just need to be around I’m afraid. So glad I can watch on Hibs Pass but would be so much happier if I was able to occupy my seat 🤨
