Let’s sell out!

[St.Kristopher]

So our allocation has been cut. Doncaster has stated we will get more if we sell out. So let’s do it and do it fast. I often see gigs and events supposedly selling in less than 30mins. If we can do likewise, it makes a mockery of the decision…if we don’t (despite the sporting integrity stuff), it simply plays into the leagues narrative and decision making.

Ron asked on the Strong Opinion Hibs pod for fans to attend; let’s give him his wish. He has pony upped for us. Let’s do the same for him.

Doncaster hasn't said how many more, it will probably be a couple of hundred.

Yup...lets sell out though.

I don't think theres any danger of us not selling out. If its 2 per season ticket holder (which has been suggested it may be on here but not confirmed) then we will likely sell these out on the first day of sales and if not then the second day.

They can't have 2 per season ticket holder as the allocation is not big enough for everyone to get two?

[Since452]

17500 tickets? I think it'll be more a case of people missing out than us not selling out!

That is impossible due to our ST numbers.

On present ticket allocation, it is 1 per ST and the remainder on public sale.

[GreenCastle]

Would they guarantee x1 per ST holder then have a ballot if ST holders wanted x2 tickets ?

Plus not every ST holder would want x2 tickets.

Meaning some who went sunday may miss out? One per season ticket and then a public sale is the fair way

[Jones28]

This is the first time I’m genuinely concerned about not getting a ticket. Thanks Neil.

[Lee Marvin]

Season ticket x 1 then public sale/ballot is only way to do this.

Unfortunately so many regular attendees (this season and historic) are going to miss out.

It's an absolute disgrace

Edit: maybe you could do those who have bought a ticket to ER this season first?? (I have a season ticket btw)

We have 11000 ST holders

Our away season ticket payments are getting taken today and the club usually make the announcements for the season ticket holder sales the same day/day after

Not every ST will take a ticket, and not all of those that do will take 2 tickets. I think we'd be safe enough promising each ST holder 2 tickets but I still think it'll be 1 per ST holder.

I think that’s more to do with how the AST scheme works, we weren’t allowed to add anyone for the semi final either.

Basically when the ST holder sale starts I’ll still be able to buy one more ticket if I wanted it as one will already be used in the AST

But if 7,000 take up two tickets, that leaves 3,500 tickets for 4,000 season ticket holders.

I'm thinking if Hibs are doing this they will have good data on cup final ticket uptake for ST holders to have arrived at this decision. Like I said though I still think it'll be 1 per ST.

[Lee Marvin]

It's not going to be 2 per season ticket. It literally makes zero sense.

[Slim Shady]

If it is two per season ticket this is a major balls up on commercial dept of the club.

1 per current season ticket then anyone buying a Half Season ticket should then be eligible for a ticket.

Sell as many ST as possible.

[Brightside]

I’ll personally be very happy with that. But it makes no sense at all and I will fully understand the rage that will follow.

What if you dont get a ticket because another ST holder has bought two?

[Mikey_1875]

Couldn’t see any logic for having 2 tickets each for STs unless they are trying to make some sort of point to Doncaster about how quickly we can sell out 17500.

I think they would be ok numbers wise in terms of all STs getting a ticket but certainly cutting it a bit fine. It would put the walk up who doesn’t know any ST holders in a terrible position. Maybe the club will market it as some sort of thank you for buying an ST last season without seeing a game.

Either way if it’s true it seems an unnecessary gamble and will be leaving a lot of supporters peed off and other ST holders needlessly worried until they have their ticket secured.

11,000 season tickets holders; two each

17,500 tickets available


Can you see the problem?

[evy]

2 things I think about this.

1 - Hibs will have solid historical data on what % of STs take-up the 2 tickets.

2 - If it sells out without every ST getting a ticket, it plays perfectly into the unfair ticket split by the SPFL.

If Hibs do make it two per ST and people miss out it will be an own goal by the club. There’s no argument around that.

Easy solution though.
ST holders get the chance to buy two tickets until 11,000 tickets have been sold. Thereafter ST holders can only buy one. When deadline date passes, what is left goes on publlc sale, so the slow-to-react ST holders get their chance to buy a second ticket.
Ideally, those who attended the SF would get priority over those who have attended a few matches at ER this season who in turn would get priority over folk who have not been to a game at all this season, but how many priorities and deadlines can you have?

[evy]

I don't disagree, but it will play into the narrative of it being unfair. Hibs need to balance appeasing everyone whilst standing firm that the quantity of tickets allocated isn't enough.

We wouldn't be having this conversation if we got a 50/50 split...

No you’re right, we wouldn’t. I just don’t think the club would risk upsetting season ticket holders by making a decision that wouldn’t guarantee them a ticket. If I was a season ticket holder and not guaranteed a seat at a national final I’d be pissed off, and it contradicts the policies the club has had in place for as long as I can remember.

Just had a though, could be that the poster saying it'll be 2 due to their AST is just that. They're guaranteed 1 as an ST and another as an AST. Just trying to work out why or how it'd be the case.

[Pagan Hibernia]

Any chance of a Black Friday deal on season tickets? :greengrin

[Northernhibee]

I can’t remember the last time we failed to sell 50% of Hampden for a cup final, this should be easy.

[GreenCastle]

I have a feeling they will continue to push the importance of a ST holder. They maybe thinking ahead to next year and making it clear ST holders give best chance to attend higher profile games.

Every ST holder is guaranteed a ticket = everyone who has a ST happy and AST is happy.

But then if you are a ST / AST and want another ticket you go into a ballot and see if you get one possibly.

I still feel folk who attended semi final should get a chance to buy tickets also for this.

Club reward points system anyone? !!

If they wanted to be really controversial they could offer x2 for Gold ST holders and x1 for silver and Bronze ST holders.

[hibee-boys]

I think and expect it to be 1 per season ticket but there will be a number of season ticket holders who can’t/won’t go and not all will purchase 2 tickets. Where I do see the problem is season ticket holders missing out on the preferred seats if they go with 2 per season ticket.

[Brightside]

What if you dont get a ticket because another ST holder has bought two?

I’ll be quick. 😂. As I say I think it’s a mental decision. Lots of people that went to the semi will prob miss out.

You would that would make more sense to tie half seasons to a cup final ticket perfect time to do so. 2 per season makes little commercial or goodwill sense from our core fan base some of whom could miss out after being season ticket holders for years. Genuinely hope they consider this.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Hibs announce its 1 per season ticket - folk moan
Hibs announce its 2 per season ticket - folk moan

I think folk are getting worked up over nothing. I’m pretty certain that after a week of sales there will still be tickets available.

Yes we sold out in 2016 but if memory serves me correctly we sold the last of our tickets literally days before the final.

Edit - yep, we sold out the Wednesday before the final.

I get the half season ticket thing...you could possibly shift a good few.

Will they go as far as try get folk thinking about ST for next season though - say 25% or 50% deposit for a ST for next season and you get a cup final ticket. Yes a lot to ask for many just before Christmas also but some may be tempted.

The club will want to make serious ££ off this final after the Covid no fans season.

Season ticket holders get 1 each, any non season ticket holder with a stub for the semi final gets 1 and the rest go to public sale, it's a no brainer. Any other solution is unfair imo.

AST's shouldn't be anywhere in the equation and the club will be going down a slippery slope if they go with that one.

[lord bunberry]

Maybe hibs think they’ll get north stand tickets if we sell our allocation really quickly. 2 per season ticket will help that happen and give us time to sell any extra tickets we get.

[adam middlemass]

There are 3 season ticket holders in my group, I would like to be able to get another ticket for my daughter who doesn’t get to many games now for family reasons, we would only want the one extra, so there is 2 spare in this one transaction if you know what I mean. I don’t think every season ticket holder will take the extra one. But in all honesty, all the fans who were at Sunday’s semi, and gave the boys fantastic backing deserve, even if they aren’t season ticket holders, to be at this final ! 👍 ggtth.

[BoomtownHibees]

AST's shouldn't be anywhere in the equation and the club will be going down a slippery slope if they go with that one.

Of course they should. They will get 1 ticket through being part of the AST scheme. All of them are also full season ticket holders so don’t see your issue

And it’s already been confirmed with payments for AST being taken today

Listening to Ben talk on the podcast and the increase in walk up prices - it seems all to be heading towards increasing ST sales in the future.

I think they will continue to do ticket bundles in future but got a feeling walk ups make it very hard for the club to plan for future finances / budgets.

According to Doncaster's reply to folk emailing him, the configuration of the north stand means it can only be split 50/50 or 100/0 for segregation. The way the splits are done seems to prioritise being able to sell the best seats first, so I can't see north stand seats being held back.

They could offer 2 per season ticket subject to availability on the extra tickets, there will still be plenty to go around. Not every season holder will be going (I know a couple) and not every season ticket holder needs an extra ticket. With the ticket prices so high its not like people will buy tickets just in case a mate was thinking of going, like I did for the semi final.

[Magpie]

2 per season ticket holder is fine. Every season ticket holder didn’t even go to the semi final, so I doubt every season ticket holder plus an extra person will go. Even with season ticket holders being able to buy 2 tickets, I predict there will still be a general sale at some point.

[hibbysam]

Nobody is going to miss out. If you want a ticket you will get one, whether it is one or two per season ticket holder. And it quite rightly promotes selling tickets early, and allowing non-st holders to sit with their season ticket holders friends/family.

Strange question anyway. ST holders will either be buying a 2nd ticket for a deserving good Hibby or won't bother to buy a 2nd ticket, in which case a deserving good Hibby will be able to buy it. No need to take it and pass it on to one they don't know.

I am pretty sure there was a Rangers fan a few seats on from me on Sunday.

They never celebrated any of the goals and disappeared for large parts of the game.

Asking folk who post on here.
An example of the top of my head of folk who won't get tickets are regular posters on here who live down south and who go to great lengths to attend Hibs games but who for obvious reasons don't have season tickets.
IMO they are more deserving of your 2nd cup final ticket than Hibs fans aunty Janet, cousin Alan or your mate Bob that generally only go to cup finals and games against Hearts.

[Keith_M]

My sister's only been to one game this season... the semi-final on Sunday.


So she's either

a) A total glory hunter and doesn't deserve a ticket for the final

b) One of our hard-core supporters that actually attended on Sunday and showed up our fair weather fans



I'll need to decide which of the two categories she's in if we get two tickets per ST holder

When the number of tickets available is limited then ST holders should be guaranteed their ticket. That's always bee one of the big selling points when buying a ST, whether it is the primary reasons is largely irrelevant. Based on our allocation and number of ST holders than means 1 per ST.

If ST holders want to sit in a group with mates then they are welcome to take the risk of waiting for a general public sale. If they miss out at that point then the blame lies with them.

If the club offer 2 per ST holder and ST holders fail to secure tickets then they leave themselves open to all kinds of justified criticism. Regardless of how unlikely it is it is madness to even consider taking the risk, it's something that could backfire spectacularly. It's not even about ST holders missing out, it will just lead to an almighty scramble as soon as tickets go on sale and put huge stresses on the ticket office and systems that could easily be avoided.

[lord bunberry]

Pretending to know what you are talking about again I see.
Doncaster has stated that Hibs will not be getting tickets in the North under any circumstances.
I said maybe. That clearly implies that I was putting it out as something that could be a potential possibility. I wasn’t pretending to know anything. You are a really strange individual.

I don't think we have a "Right" way to do things as many season ticket holders won't want to go if they can't bring their son/daughter along.

If we had been given even 22,00/23,000 tickets then it would be so much easier to organise we gets what as I wouldn't like to be making this choice.

It's tricky.

There have been finals at which we have had the 22/23K tickets and only given ST holders 1 initially. When demand is likely to exceed supply would seem a strange time to start opening the club up to the risk of ST holders missing out and the inevitable backlash that comes with that.

[Since452]

Wonder if Hibs will do a beam back to ER for the final.

[Jones28]

That could be tricky with it being Premier Sports, but I think the demand would be there from our supporters - it would be great if you could take a carry out with you.

But it isn't a possibility, potentially or otherwise. Doncaster made that very clear yesterday.
As for your character assasination, that is just pathetic.

[Vini1875]

2 tickets per ST does have the potential to be a disaster, but we have a group of 5 ST holders none of whom will be getting a 2nd ticket. I don't know if this is what Hibs are banking on, but would be a risk. That said for almost every final I can remember it has proved immpossible to please everyone. People who may "deserve" a ticket miss out and total wing nuts who only turn out for finals manage to get tickets, this year will be the same.

Unless it's a ploy for Hibs so we can sell the tickets quicker and go back to the SPFL..

Myself and my family take up 5 season tickets and that is exactly the number I will be looking for.

Doncaster made it very clear yesterday that these were initial allocations and there was scope for further tickets being made available depending on sales.

Yes, but he also stated clearly that those further tickets will be in the South stand.
The general opinion on here is that we are talking about hundreds rather than thousands of tickets.
A few of the guys on here asked Doncaster directly about the North stand

gbhibby asked him
"Will Hibs fans have access to the North stand when our initial allocation sells out"

Doncaster/His Staff replied
"No, the decision on the North stand cannot be reversed- that has been made available to Celtic.The North Stand can only be split 50/50 or not at all.A 50/50 split of the North Stand would mean (broadly) a 50/50 split of the stadium irrespective of sales- which in turn could lead to big gaps of unsold seats."

My old man is a season ticket holder. He's in his 80s and I think has only been to one game this season becuase of social distancing. I was at the Livi game earlier this season and he didn't feel comfortable to go to that. The differences between actual attendance and the declared attendance is probably largest this season than ever - as I suspect my dad isn't alone in picking and choosing which games to go to because of the pandemic. I suspect he won't want a final ticket either.

I reckon either 1x or 2x per ST holder would be possible for these reasons - 2x per ST would in some ways be easier as friends could get seats together on a single booking.

If their friends want seats for a final ahead of me then they should get a season ticket too.

1 per season ticket and rest on general sale is what I feel is fair.

[Gmack7]

They will surely offer anyone who buys a half season ticket the option of a final ticket, with the lower allocation this is a great opportunity to drive up the match day revenue at ER

Maybe they want to put pressure on the SPFL for more tickets in the debenture areas of the ground, when we sell out our initial allocation early.

They do Ronnie, but they could easily have given season ticket holders a small window to buy, then another window for season ticket holder plus one

Regardless of how unlikely it is, it's entirely possible a couple of thousand ST holders could miss out.

Yup. I think they've been hacked off by the SPFL boards decision on tickets and want to prove a point. Let's hope every season ticket holder gets to the final that wants to go.

[Billy Whizz]

ST don't need 2, they only get 1 for every other game

[LaMotta]

Why do you think that mate? As long as you have a network of linked season tickets set up then you can just assign tickets to different season ticket reference and buy in the one transaction?

[Pretty Boy]

You can buy up to 20 per transaction as long as you have the required number of ST client refs in your network.

[oneone73]

Why do you think that mate? As long as you have a network of linked season tickets set up then you can just assign tickets to different season ticket reference and buy in the one transaction?

Don't think it's going to allow you to do that? Each transaction is 1+1?

I agree with Brightside i.e. the club by selling 2 tickets to each season ticket holder are telling non season ticket holders that they don't care about them

When you are buying for a group when do you do the allocation to another season part? I think I've only done it once before but can't remember, I don't want to be messing up :confused:

There are 6 season ticket holders in my network - so that should allow me to organise for all and buy up to 12 tickets.

Although for various reasons we will only be looking for 3 of the 12 allowed tickets. I think Hibs will have got this right and no ST's will miss out.

I'm confused, are you worried you're going to miss out on a final ticket?

[Sir David Gray]

This seems a nonsensical decision, cannot fathom why it would be two tickets per season which means every season ticket holder is not now guaranteed to get a ticket.

[blackpoolhibs]

It's a pretty shameful decision if you ask me, there'll be plenty upset by this and rightly so. It won't make a difference to me as I won't be going anyway but I've already been offered and declined 1 and I've not been to a game for over a year.

[Billy Whizz]

It’s not just about getting a ticket, surely s ST holder should have a window to buy before ST holder +1

[blackpoolhibs]

I dont see the problem, every season ticket holder who wants to go will go, how they sell the rest is irrelivant imho.

[hibee-boys]

This seems a nonsensical decision, cannot fathom why it would be two tickets per season which means every season ticket holder is not now guaranteed to get a ticket.

The only season ticket holders that will miss out, if any, will be those not switched on enough to buy them over the weekend but no doubt they’ll bump their gums and blame the club. I’m a season ticket holder and have zero concerns about not getting a ticket. You just need to read through the ticket threads to see that the majority of season ticket holders will not be taking up the plus 1 option. I’d expect a few thousand left for public sale.

[Billy Whizz]

I'm not saying any season ticket holder who wants to go won't get a ticket, it's just the fact that it's not guaranteed that I find odd.

[Onceinawhile]

Yip, we could get 10 and getting 4! The bed wetting on here is incredible.

On the flip side, I can get 8, but need 11. So there is a flip side to it.

Surprised at least one of your st group isn't taking a ticket.

[Pretty Boy]

I suppose it's inevitable but I had a text from a Celtic supporting mate earlier.

'If yous are getting 2 can I have your spare or do you know anyone who can get me 1?'

I hope anyone else who is asked gives the same curt reply I did. The 2nd word was off.
