League Cup Final Ticket Drive

[Daniel 1875]

Hi folks,

Following requests from members, the wider support and a few posters on here we've been speaking with the club this week to arrange a platform to allow fans to contribute towards cup final tickets for Sunday which will be distributed by the Hibernian Community Foundation and its partner schools to Hibs-supporting families who are not fortunate enough to be in a position to buy tickets for the game in the week before Christmas.

I'm pleased to say the club have agreed to initially ring-fence 100 tickets for this and contributions can be made via the Hibernian Supporters website on the link below:

https://hiberniansupporters.co.uk/cup-final/

Given the quick turnaround time the contribution window will only be open until 5pm tomorrow, Wednesday 15th December.

Existing Hibernian Supporters members should note all contributions must be made using credit/debit card on the link above and contributions will not be added to existing accounts due to the logistics involved in this and the timescales we are working to.

Regular monthly contributions to Hibernian Supporters will not be used for this initiative and will be passed to the club in the usual way.

Thank you to the club who have worked with us quickly to get this arranged during an incredibly busy time for everyone at Easter Road, both in the stadium and ticket office.

With 100 tickets split 50/50 between adults & concessions we are looking at a target of £3200 (inc Stripe fees) to get these snapped up and in the hands of good Hibs fans at a really testing time of year.

Any questions please ask here in case others are thinking the same things.

Excellent idea will go on later to day and make a contribution

[ano hibby]

Excellent idea, donation made 👍

[Keith_M]

Delighted to hear this and I'll be making my donation after lunch


:top marks

[Pagan Hibernia]

I’ll be contributing happily

[JeMeSouviens]

Good idea ... and that explains why 100 tickets disappeared from the dot count.

[nonshinyfinish]

Done. Great work in sorting this out.

[Nevi_SOL]

Unfortunately I don’t get paid until Friday. I’ll be more than happy to do this if it comes up again in the future and a big well done to the organisers and to everyone donated at this time of year 👍🏼🇳🇬 Hibs Class

[bigwheel]

Donated. Great cause - right in the spirit of the Hibs family ….

[PathheadHibby]

Done, happy to support GGTTH

[NAE NOOKIE]

Great idea HSL Donation made :aok:

Now all I have to do is hope my own tickets arrive :confused:

[Juice-Terry]

Done! GGTTH!

[Keith_M]

Now done.



Hopefully the people I just bought tickets for actually enjoy Sunday, and don't hunt me down after the game

:wink:

[southern hibby]

Done,

Happy to support such a great thing.

[hibbykris]

My wee boy (7) has just returned a positive covid test meaning he and I are no longer able to go. He’s absolutely gutted but rather than trying to sell on our tickets can ours be added to these that are being donated?

It’s one adult and one concession for the South Stand Upper.

sorry to hear this mate. Hope the wee man is ok and gets to see a win on the tele.

Donated - hopefully someone can attend who maybe couldn’t attend before or even a new fan for their 1st ever game.

Good work sorting this out.

Yes we’ve raised enough for 30 adults & 30 concessions already - potentially 30 families with a day to remember on Sunday and it’s only been a few hours. Amazing stuff!

Hi all,

I'm delighted to say we have exceeded our initial target this evening and that total donations currently sit in excess of £3,300.

We will be in touch with the club and Community Foundation in the morning, if there's scope to add extra tickets onto the initial 100 and we can get them into the hands of some Hibs supporting families ahead of the weekend we will look to do that.

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and shared kind words. What an incredible effort at this time of year from the Hibs family - hats off to you all.

Over 3000 quid in a day is an absolutely fantastic effort ... after witnessing the booing of Jason Cummings by some of our support tonight it's great to see through stuff like this that we still have some class as a support.

Just seen the DR article slagging us for having 500 tickets left :rolleyes:

My donation incoming. I detest that rag!

[green day]

Done, I am rarely on the MB these days and only found out about this last night at the match.

Great initiative, well done and lets hope this shifts a few tickets into the hands of people who need them.

[Daniel 1875]

The club have confirmed they’ll make additional tickets available for this over and above the initial 100 - so we’ll keep going until 5pm today as planned.

this is fantastic. Let’s make sure we get these tickets into safe and deserving Hibee hands rather than them falling into manky Celtic ones.

and well done to chippy, who I believe came up with this initiative :flag:

[banchoryhibs]

What an incredible effort😄

Let's see if we can raise another £1,000 to snap up more of the remaining tickets. It's a win, win, win all round. All in a very good cause.

Donations can be made up to 5pm this evening👍

[Daniel 1875]

We're currently sitting at around £4400 with a couple of hours to go. If we can get up to £4650 that would mean 150 tickets purchased for the Community Foundation (75 adults & 75 concessions).

If you're thinking about donating please remember we'll need to let the club know the final total just after 5pm today.

[GRA]

Donation made for a great cause :agree: sounds like you'll smash the target! All the best.

That's the first penalty scored in extra-time, great stuff (The media should be made aware of this great drive to help underprivileged Hibs supporters at Xmas)

Perhaps this could be organised for a lot more games, help to sell even more tickets, its a no brainer really, win win for all.

But, we will sell our allocation and in the midst of a pandemic. Bloody heroic if you ask me, it should be in all the papers (even the weegie ones, they can always show pictures for the majority who cant read)

I’d be happy to talk about that, I don’t know Daniel , I just made the suggestion and he flew with it. I reckon he’ll see this thread so yes I’d personally be happy to make a contribution for seasons/ half seasons for folks in disadvantaged positions. We wouldn’t want to detract from HSLs regular donations nor kicks for kids but perhaps an HSL fund for specifically this purpose could be set up? I’m just making this up by the way , but Motherwell got a lot of good early season press coverage by providing something similar for a number of their fans

I think Leith Links already does this job, Suzy does a superb amount of work to raise money from fans which is then used to purchase Kicks for Kids season tickets.

The cup final was a one off opportunity to step up but we’d just be doubling the work where Suzy and Leith Links already exists.

Really pleased to say that the club have agreed to provide a coach free of charge on Sunday to help get some of the ticket recipients through to Hampden.

I have to say they’ve been absolutely first class with this, with everything else going on (new manager recruitment, cup final to prepare for, ticket office working all hours to get the bulk of the tickets out to fans), they’ve taken the time to help us get this over the line.

A huge mention to Sue at the Foundation who spent her day off contacting charities and school groups this week to get the tickets into good hands.

A really great thing and one the fans, club staff and Community Foundation deserve huge credit for.

I have 3 tickets for South Upper on Sunday - can these be donated? The tickets are in Edinburgh and I can arrange for them to be dropped off but as we can’t travel up they’ll be going to waste - even though I have tried to sell them this is a much better way of using the tickets

I’ve left some tickets at the ticket office as a donation, the lady from HCF is picking them up this afternoon so if you also wanted to leave unneeded tickets for her to pick up, (I won’t put her name up on here but the girl at the office knew they score and who she is) they will get distributed at local schools tomorrow. Sounds like if you drop them at the office tomorrow will be too late though.
