Season Ticket Renewal

[Highwayman]

As the time approaches for the renewal of season tickets.How many of you will be renewing or not.

I intend to renew but I am entitled to senior concession and might think again if I had to pay full price.I have an issue with gold silver and bronze seats.But I will renew anyway.

I know a few people who won’t be renewing.Mainly because they work shifts which rules them out of midweek night games and the number of midweek games means it not really economically worth for them.

Also the news that the renovation of the North Bridge is to extend into 2024 and probably beyond means that the travel hassles will continue.

There are probably other issues that might put people of renewing.

Interesting you only make a case not to renew.

[matty_f]

i’ll renew.

[JimBHibees]

Definitely renew looking forward to the Shaun revolution :thumbsup:

[gbhibby]

If the option to view at home is not still available next season that could sway people's decision. I think the option to view at home should be kept for the foreseeable future.

[Stubbsy90+2]

Right now I honestly don’t know if I will.

The first half of this season really scunnered me. I didn’t enjoy watching Jack Ross’ Hibs team at all to the point I really didn’t want to even go. I’ve never felt like that about Hibs and being a tight arse, I would never have even considered missing games previously purely because I’d paid for them already.

I’ll probably end up renewing when push comes to shove but it’s definitely the first time I’ve ever considered not doing it. It’s not even a financial decision, it’s purely down to how little I’ve enjoyed watching Hibs for a good while now and the fact that you can get a ticket for near enough any game so easily anyway.

[lord bunberry]

I can’t see me renewing, I’m starting a new job next month and it will involve Saturday work. I’m not sure what the hours will be yet so I might still be able to get one. It’s the first time in my life where work might stop me renewing but with all the uncertainty around just now I need the security. God knows how I’ll cope with being at work when hibs are playing.

[MKHIBEE]

I will be renewing

[hibbyfraelibby]

That was only allowed due to Covid and reluctantly agreed to by Sky. No way will they allow it again. Nord VPN or an ST next season.

I think that option will only be available to people who have a medical reason for not being able to attend.

[Blaster]

I’ll be renewing. My view on the watching at home is that it should continue but should be restrictions on how many times you can use it to try and get more folk actually attending

Not sure how feasible that would be though

[Libby Hibby]

Me and my two boys will be renewing (I’ll no doubt be footing the bill for the 3).

Kids are in their 20s.

[mutley]

I’ll be renewing, will go for the early bird (if there is one this year) and I’ve a few quid sitting to be used for the tickets I sold on the exchange.

Even though I miss quite a few games and it would be far more economical for me to pay as I go, but I like my seat and the routine of knowing exactly where I’m going, who I’ll be chatting to etc. definitely fall
Into the “out of habit” crew

I’ll renew, Hibs are a part of my life. Whether they annoy me or not I’ll stick with them.

[Oscar T Grouch]

I'll be renewing home and away STs, Hibs are my only vice nowadays. I hope they keep the 'view at home' option as I have missed a few games due to ill health this season and was happy I could watch the games I missed at home.

[wandering_hibee]

Will definitely renew, looking forward to seeing more goals and less injuries and indeed quicker recoveries for those that do get injured (and of course the pre-game and half time entertainment.:greengrin)

[Stuart93]

Aye I’m in the same boat so I’m unsure if I’ll renew or not

Think if you miss 3 or 4 games you’ve lost the value of your ST already.

My mind could still change the time they come out

[DIXIHIBS]

Defo renew though more through duty than any great expectation tbh.

[Broken Gnome]

I'd feel rubbish if I didn't renew and would likely take the hump if forking out circa 30-35 quid to go to a game.

[Green Badger]

I'll renew.

[Mike Berry]

I will definitely renew. Still got a couple of years to go before I get the senior concession though.......

Of course I will renew even if I will not get to the vast majority of games, it is what Hibs supporters do. Also meaning to say that threads like this I always find a wee bit jambo-ish perhaps just me.

Can't see any reason not to keep that after all sky make their money from subscribers so there is no effect on their income. A season ticket should allow Hibs season ticket holders to watch either in person or on TV.The TV companies are only interested in the uglies.

[OstKurve Hibs]

3 of us renewing,

Also north bridge works, why would that be an issue, go a different way or leave earlier of you have to.

Also hope the club get rid of the view at home option for next season. Should help get the crowds back up.

[Tipperaryjack]

Loose change for you....

[andudare2]

Will be bought as usual, eternal optimist🤣

[greenginger]

I’ll be renewing. My daughter too, although she lives abroad and ain’t be at Easter Road for over 3 years.

Season ticket income is essential for the club and buying our tickets is a statement of our support whether we attend all matches or none.

[Sir David Gray]

I'll be renewing, although at the moment it's probably more out of habit and a sense of duty to the club than it is due to any great excitement for next season's football to be honest.

[aljo7-0]

I'll be renewing.

[Mon Dieu4]

I will renew, more for the day out with my pals than the football just now

[CentreLine]

I suspect we are currently more or less down to the hard core in our support so will not be surprised to see most renew. It’s getting back to the numbers we had in 2017 and such that makes the difference. I’m
Heartily sick of the product on the park right now but fully intend renewing, in that blindly optimistic way that comes along each year. It is getting harder to accept the interminable “transition” periods though. We need stability right now, hopefully that stability sits at the top end of the table.

[overdrive]

I'll be renewing, although at the moment it's probably more out of habit and a sense of duty to the club than it is due to any great excitement for next season's football to be honest.

Pretty much how I feel. The club are lucky that there is a hardcore of the support that are like that as if it was another form of "entertainment" that was offering up the standard of product we are, I wouldn't be renewing. I wasn't enjoying the football under Jack Ross, I'm enjoying it even less under Shaun Maloney.

[Langlee Hibs]

Absolutely will be renewing. Next season cannae come quick enough!!

[Wheat Hound]

I'll be renewing for sure.

[Conj]

100% renewing, supporters support financially as much as anything else

[Pagan Hibernia]

I’m not currently a season ticket holder.

I’ll be buying one for next season. So that’s one that we didn’t have previously.

[Irish_Steve]

I’ll renew - From my seat in the FFU, I can see the top of Arthur’s Seat and I quite like counting the people on top of it

[Scouse Hibee]

Used my ST once this season so far so it makes no sense to renew, but I will.

[EVENTUALLY]

Agree totally

[G15 Hibs]

I'm lucky enough to have the money to renew so I will. I know others won't necessarily be in the same position, especially with the way things are likely to pan out this year with the cost of living.

It supports the club financially, as someone else said earlier I like the routine of knowing where I sit and who'll be sitting around me, and I'm really interested in seeing how things turn out for the Shaun Maloney project. I'm hopeful that it can be a better season, once he's starting to get the right elements in place.

[PatHead]

I have not enjoyed going since the early Neil Lennon days. Heckingbottom and Jack Ross games were a chore. For the first time in living memory I don't make an effort to find out the scores if I don't make the match. Just fallen out of love with Hibs just now.

So for the first time in God knows how long (decades) I am not renewing. Maybe the break will renew my enthusiasm but for now it's golf on a Saturday.

[Fuzzywuzzy]

What age do kids move to youth? Had a look on the site and couldn't see anything

What issue do you have with gold, silver and bronze pricing. The bests seats in the cinemas, theatres, music venues etc all have a similar price structure.

[Stevie Reid]

I'll always renew.

[Hibby70]

I'm really struggling to decide. My boy is playing football on Saturdays and Sundays and whilst it's usually early it's all a bit of a mad rush.

I also take my elderly father and he's finding it a struggle more and more. The whole day just starts to feel like a chore and I cant even go for a pint or two and spend over 3 hours just travelling.

The only real pull is that we have great seats and good folk round about us.

I've had a season ticket for the most part of 30 years so won't be an easy decision to give up now mind you

[Dashing Bob S]

I’ll renew. Excited to see the summer comings and going’s and the first real Maloney team.

[CockneyRebel]

Will be renewing, never in doubt.

[greenlex]

Due to work I only make weekend games these days but 2 renewals here.

[Sean1875]

I'll inevitably renew, but first time for a few years ive been seriously considering not. Starting a new job/career that involves a lot of weekend work and nights meaning im not sure how many games ill even be able to get to, coupled with the fact so many games recently i've just been bored out of my tree watching. As others have said though, its more a sense of duty to renew so I feel its inevitable!

[seanshow]

Used to have six of us going,but adult life has reduced us to two, so I think we both committed to life sentences. :greengrin

Middle of the east early bird, what £420?

[Highwayman]

What issue do you have with gold, silver and bronze pricing. The bests seats in the cinemas, theatres, music venues etc all have a similar price structure.

My issue is that where I sit in Lower West is allocated as silver.Four seats to the right and across the passageway is allocated as bronze.

Do I have a better view than say the first ten to twelve seats in the bronze section? I don’t think so.Seems to me to a bit of a scattergun approach.

Usually the pricier seats in the cinema are the more luxurious ones.Not hard cold plastic ones.

[Green Man]

I’ll be renewing for me and the wee man. He’s football daft and going to the game with him is always a day out.

[chippy]

I’ll be renewing mine and my nephews seats. That and HS are how I support Hibs. Won’t actually go until covid is way way way down unless i get a hazmat hood

[Skol]

I will almost certainly renew again. However I haven’t really enjoyed the football of late. At least with Boyle there was something to entertain but that’s gone now.

I will be in my usual seat cheering my team as have done for 60 of my 66years

[Allant1981]

Ill be renewing but will most likely move seat, where i sit in the east you get blinded with the sun so might move(first world problems!!)

[Libby Hibby]

Loose change for you....

😂😂

[Malthibby]

Renewing x 3.
If going to ER was dependent on the quality of the football, I'd have stopped going in the 80s.
I'm lucky enough to be able to afford season tickets though, I can well understand that a seat won't be top
of the priority list for everyone.

[weecounty hibby]

Me and the laddie will be renewing. Moaning, greeting, whinging, negativity and constant disappointment it's great to get away from all that at home and go and watch the Hibs!!

Through thick and thin for the Hibs.

Yes I will renew but last time at full price as taking early retirement this year.

If you’re fortunate enough to take early retirement you should be stumping up the full price.

[Glory Lurker]

I've done brighter things, but I'll be renewing.

[Bishop Hibee]

I will renew. I won’t point the finger at anyone who doesn’t given the cost of living increases. I suspect we’ll lose 1 or 2K given tougher times and the quality of football being poor this season.

[Coco Bryce]

I have 3 only renewing 2. Older kid has chucked it. It's been coming. Says Hibs are boring. He'll now spend his time walking about the streets bored no doubt.

[PatHead]

What age do Hibs recognise you as being retired?

65

[Bridge hibs]

Decided after many years as season ticket holders to not renew, will try to contribute financially in other ways but just unable to attend now, mostly due to work but simply lost the desire now sadly

[scoopyboy]

I renew each year and will continue to until ill health prevents me, will get my sons as well.

Can't imagine not being a season ticket holder

[Eyrie]

I miss several games a season for various reasons so I'd be cheaper as a walk up and the attempts at football just now are enough to put anyone off. But I'll renew anyway.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Definitely renewing.

[Logie Green]

If you’re fortunate enough to take early retirement you should be stumping up the full price.

On the basis that early retirement means you retire before the age Hibs recognise you as a Pensioner you’ll pay full price anyway. 🤷*♂️

[Juice-Terry]

I've been living on the Wirral for the last four years and get to to go about two or three games per season but I'll definitely renew. (I have a devious cost share/attend scheme in place.) GGTTH!

[darwenhibby]

Although ive not been a season ticket holder for a while
I went to as many games as I could
I watched probably every Hibs game for the last 2 years on tv
But it does not beat being there
I am buying a season ticket even after Saturday as another post on here asked was the £5 worth it ??
Yes it was worth it because the only thing Hibs have is a support financially is us supporters
I could easily watch the game at home on Sunday save myself a few quid in fuel
But hibs need a massive support to back them and keep the season going.
I think it has never been as crucial as now to get behind the club!
GGTTH 🇳🇬💚

[Mikey_1875]

Thinking about moving from east to west but will definitely renew!

[Clarence]

That’s quite a statement 😂

An accurate one. Someone can’t decide to stop working at 55 (for example) and expect a concession ticket.

Sadly, I'm the same as you. I've found it really hard to maintain any kind of enthusiasm for Hibs at the moment, and that's probably my fault not the clubs, but I have lived in the west of Scotland for nearly 30 years now and the extra expense and time it takes me to get there and back just becomes a chore which it certainly wasn't before. I'm more likely to go for a half season ticket after Xmas if they are still available. But I obviously have the greatest respect for those who renew, I haven't totally ruled it out, I'm just struggling to find a good reason to do it nowadays and I've never felt like that before, even when we were in a lower league.

[ahibby]

I am one last time and next year qualify for senior citizen price. Whats wrong with that? You have no idea how **** my pension will be.

[ahibby]

What age do Hibs recognise you as being retired?

Yes its 65 so not exactly state pension age for many of us.. Anayway I already said I am paying full price one last time. Beginning to think someone cant read.

[gbhibby]

The direct debit scheme offered by the club was good last season hope its repeated.

[Stokesy's on fire]

Not sure this time will depend what ambition the club shows

[SON OF PADDY]

I've been following the Hibs,for best part of 55 years and like all my fellow Hibbys I've watched some very poor Hibs teams though out that time !
But it will take a lot more than bridge closures, or having a season ticket in a gold section to put me off supporting my team.
GGTTH

[Brightside]

I’ll renew. Always.

So instead you're going to do something even more frustrating than watching Hibs? 🤔

[Radium]

Up the back of the East in a section that is now priced in gold. Routinely looking at 3 empty stands before I get out of the row. The new screens are at the edge of my vision and don’t add much to my experience…

… have been lucky enough to be able to afford a st in recent years and will renew two this year.

Family and work meant that for many years I only got to a couple of games a season so can understand why it is not the right choice for everyone

whats interesting for me is the amount of long standing supporters who claim they have lost interest. Can anyone put their finger on why this is when we’ve had far, far worse Hibs teams over the decades. The quality has been awful before, and yes crowds were crap before but I’m talking about the long term fans who were there during those times, now deciding that Hibs don’t interest them anymore… Im not sure I get it.

Covid apathy and being able to watch games at home.

[Stonewall]

I'm pretty sure that I'll be renewing my two tickets.

Between my wife, my son and I it is just about justifiable. My issue is that I work every second weekend and my son usually plays Rugby on Saturdays. Luckily my wife usually takes a spare ticket and between the son of one of her friends who started going this year and a friend of my son's who can't afford to go we usually fill both seats.

I must admit I haven't enjoyed it too much this year apart from the odd game. I've seen far worse Hibs teams than this and I didn't think that the football was that bad under Ross with the exception of the odd inexplicably bad performance. It's just not a very pleasant place to be when so many of the support were openly wanting JR out and all the social media outlets were drowning in negativity. It really became very waring especially when much of what was coming across was absolute crap. Even hibs.net which, relatively speaking, used to be an oasis of calm and reasoned debate has been unreadable at times so I just avoid it mostly now. I'm sure I will renew but it's a more difficult decision than normal.

I certainly fall in to that category and feel there are a number of factors.

Dealing with off the park, I find the tribalism in supporters a bit hard to understand. No sporting event can happen without an opponent to test yourself against and that opponent should be shown respect. There has always been an element of it but the way the Scottish game has, unashamedly, weighted itself in favour of only two teams has destroyed the game here in Scotland. The way the game is governed, on and off the park, appears nothing short of corrupt and so much could be done to improve that impression but is not.

On a match day we see, week in week out, the incomprehensible behaviour of match officials applying the rules differently towards two sides in particular. Perhaps that has led to the way fans behave and somehow think that all that is left in supporting a club means you have to absolutely hate everything about the opposition. I find that unhealthy and very sad. Then we have a significant minority who seem to think that supporting a team on the park means howling as much abuse as possible at the team and individuals in the team.

Right now we should be incredibly positive with the declared attitude of our owner and club management talking of success and entertainment. Stability is the most important thing missing from our game and Hibs are one of the worst offenders for constant change. When Ron Gordon came in the scene it looked like that was about to change in a positive way. Transition is the devil when it comes to seeing steady improvement and success in the longer term.

We had a manager who had been stung once by moving on too quickly and was, at least overtly, committed to the long term. As people acknowledge constantly on here, change takes time. My view is that the green shoots of success were in place under our previous manager but it was way too slow for a significant minority in the support and he was emptied, with the promise of open, exciting, entertaining football. Instead we get more of the same, only slower, more boring and without goals.

The JR detractors say the manager needs time. Well yeah! But changing longer term transition just to start again was a hard pill to swallow. That said, change happens so we have to get behind the latest manager. But the uninspiring rubbish we see on the park is disheartening. We have a very decent squad of players and the club, from top to bottom, needs to get those players performing as they can. Instead we are stuck in a rut.

First and foremost, football is supposed to be an entertainment business. I was lucky enough to be heartily entertained in the 60’s and 70’s. We lamented the negative football that came in during the seventies, largely led by Leeds United. And yes, we and many other Scottish clubs could justifiably compare ourselves and compete with the top English clubs.
We had the dreadful football of the 80’s and 90’s but we’re still entertained by players being able to express themselves.

In to the 2000’s and we saw entertainment returning with the young side encouraged to express themselves on the park by Tony Mowbray and the fans returned in large numbers. We have had much better players and better teams in the past yet the good team spirit carried us to a cup final and the holy grail in 2016. Did we kick on from there? No we changed manager again and it has been a rollercoaster ever since. One with too may dips.

Where are we now? Clockwork, boring, un-entertaining pass back football. The crowds are falling and people wonder why?

And still I will renew my ST in the forlorn hope that we finally get it right on and off the park.

Entertain us Hibs. Please!!

[Stubbsy90+2]

frankly if we’re only down 1 or 2k I’d take that.

Watching us under Jack Ross just really made me lose interest. The enjoyment was completely sucked out of it for me. Imo we were absolutely brutal to watch and every week i was tempted not to even bother despite having paid for it. I’ve had a season ticket continuously for 25 years.

I don’t think we’ve improved all that much since JR has left but I can safely say I wouldn’t have been renewing had he still been in charge. I’m a bit more tempted now but I’d hoped to have seen more in the way of changes than we have. Losing Boyle, our form under JR and our injuries have made that easier said than done though.

If I do renew, it’ll likely be in the summer once I start to see the players we bring in and if they excite me as right now there’s absolutely nobody in this squad I get excited about watching individually and as it stands, there’s nothing exciting about us as a team either.

So for me, it quite simply comes down to the fact I’ve things I would enjoy more I could be doing rather than watching what’s been on offer for the last couple of years.

[Skol]

frankly if we’re only down 1 or 2k I’d take that.

whats interesting for me is the amount of long standing supporters who claim they have lost interest. Can anyone put their finger on why this is when we’ve had far, far worse Hibs teams over the decades. The quality has been awful before, and yes crowds were crap before but I’m talking about the long term fans who were there during those times, now deciding that Hibs don’t interest them anymore… Im not sure I get it.

I am one of these fans and it’s hard to put my finger on really. I have only felt this way once before which I think was under fenlon but could have been butcher

I didn’t think it was as bad under Ross as others do and I didn’t like the way he was dispensed with. I also feel we have regressed since maloney came in. While I know injuries are a big part in this as well as losing Boyle, but the way we approach games is just awful right now and we just don’t look like scoring and are not good to watch.

A season ticket is a big investment in money and also a big investment of time away from its things I could be doing. It helps if you enjoy what you are watching but that’s not the case right now

[hibbyfraelibby]

Yes I will renew but last time at full price as taking early retirement this year.

Early retirement doesn't qualify you as a concession based on age.

[.Sean.]

I’ll be renewing. Hopefully they do the six month interest free option, that was handy and paid off by I think October

Hope so too - had it over longer at times and initially paid interest but 6 months interest free suits me fine. :aok:

[wookie70]

Up until recently I actually felt guilty if I never went to away games and had only missed a couple of games at ER in over 10 years including cup and friendlies. Covid broke the habit and while I went to all the games this season, before Ross was emptied, the way he was treated didn't sit well. Maloney was then brought in and I can't imagine enjoying that style of football even if he does get it working. Big screens, Opera and other initiatives are actually putting me off rather than encouraging me to go and the entertainment on offer is dreadful, which is bad, but it is the fact it is almost designed to be dreadful that is what I struggle to take. With Stubbs and Lennon we played poorly quite often but I always thought we wanted to get forward and try and attack as much as we can. It is all a bit Bertie Auld at ER just now and I actually get the feeling SM is quite happy with a 20 pass move where the ball ends up behind where it started and we have went nowhere near the other teams box.

Saying all that I love my seats, enjoy seeing those who sit near us and will probably renew. There is still a heart felt obligation to renew that I still feel but it is nowhere near as strong as it was and Sir Tom going and the shift away from potential fan ownership, at least in part, also comes into that. My daughter is turning into a right good Hibby and I will do my best to keep her getting to as many games as possible. So another two tickets in the renew column but the seats may lie empty far more than they have done in the past.

[bigwheel]

All three of us definitely renewing ….I’ve had decades of watching Hibs that have been much worse than now ..so looking forward to the next chapter already [emoji106][emoji3]

Hibs fans, both individually and collectively through HSL have far more of a stake in the club now than they ever had before, including most of Tom Farmer’s time.

Like you I was disappointed that the rug was swept from under us in 2019 when we were within sight of a 25.1% stake, but between HSL and individual supporter shareholders we still have around a third of the club in safe hands (as long as the mysterious nameless nominees are fans.)

Used my ST once this season so far so it makes no sense to renew, but I will.


Same. To be fair, to a greater or lesser degree depending upon individual circumstances, a ST has effectively been a donation for many years now. Basically since TV started dictating all sorts of weird and wonderful kick-off times.

[whiskyhibby]

Definitely renewing, the future is bright

[GreenCastle]

Will renew - see it as a donation to the club / membership / support to the local community. The football is a bonus.

Said after 2016 cup final win will always renew and after having no fans during lockdown maybe took for granted attending live football. I get other people have found other interests but all it needs every so often is a game like the Boyle Hampden semi to reignite the Hibs flame.

While it’s been very frustrating at times - Hibs need us and whether it’s Ross or Maloney in charge the club needs the fans.

Hopefully even though annoyed / frustrated right now will see that.

3rd will be up for grabs next season and while it’s frustrating thats the highest we can expect it’s what we should be aiming for once again.

I really hope Hibs do something to improve atmosphere in FF lower after this season - plus I get what fans say about the awful refs / Old Firm monopoly / crap kick off times - it’s frustrating and it definitely does put some people off buying.

Maybe the supporters from outwith the OF should club together and buy a trophy for the third placed team. The unofficial winners of the league.

An ST is a good investment. Gets you out of the house for a few hours and allows you to turn the heating off saving you more over the year than the ST costs.😉

Definitely will be renewing our 4 season tickets the six month interest free was a good idea but I’m also along with a number of fellow hibbys genuinely looking forward to Our new manager having a chance to put his marker on our team injury free and having a summer where he can bring in more of his type of player ggtth

Anyone who wasn't sure about buying a season ticket for next season, has the draw possibly changed your mind? Guaranteed ticket for semi and if we make the final a ticket for that too.That's only for current season ticket holders.

I think you’re being a bit pedantic and your statement is inaccurate. Many industries/employers have different retirement ages. In your case 64 is early. For many folk early retirement is likely to be somewhere before 60. Your initial post was unclear.

Renewals usually come out around April.

They will be waiting for a good result to release the information.

Lose 2 derbies in a row and your going to have a very frustrated support and drop in ST sales.

[The Captain....]

Definite no...got other commitments that are more important to me atm. Around 20 something years as a ST holder and 40 odd as a regular attender.

The lack of entertainment and good football is a secondary reason but I dare say I'd be more inclined to consider a ST if we set up to win rather than not to lose.

It's like Jack Ross never left isn't it?

Watching this current team just leaves me bored and frustrated.

I think covid (getting out of the habit of going) and the price of everything going sky high will hit many clubs next season.

I'm finding it harder to muster the motivation to attend games as at times it feels like a form of self harming watching the current team.

I'm not renewing, just think it's too expensive and with family commitments now taking priority on weekends I'd probably moss half the games anyway.

Unless we beat Hearts in the semi then season ticket sales won't break 5 figures.

An adult season ticket (gold) costs about £8 a week averaged over the course of a year.

About the same as 2 pints of beer somewhere cheap.

You can't pay for it with that financial breakdown though. Even using the payment options it's still a significant financial outlay each month, and with the massive increase in cost of living in simply won't be something a lot of people take up.

If results don't change before the end of the season we are probably looking at the lowest number of sales for about 6 years or so.

You literally could pay for a season ticket by putting 8 quid a week by for it. That's a fact.

Your opinion (which I agree with by the way) that poor performances/results could have a massive impact on sales is fair.
But it's got hee haw to do with affordability.

Of course it has to do with affordability, especially in the current cost of living crisis. Unless you think we'd sell the same amount of season tickets if they were priced at £200 rather than £420.

Selling season tickets is a massive bit to do with affordability.

To suggest it’s not us quite incredible really.

A lot of people are struggling to even fuel their homes. That’ll make a season ticket unaffordable.

[Eyrie]

It's about value for money as much as price. The cost of living means that people have to prioritise and the way we're currently playing, we'd shift as many season tickets at £200 as a good Hibs team would shift at £420.

This season will see season tickets massively down the whole league over imo.

My gas and electric has went up enough to fund 3 or 4 season tickets on its own in the last year or so. Never mind everything else on top of that. I need gas and electric a hell of a lot more than a season ticket.

[IberianHibernian]

After 6 pages it`s clear that some fans won`t renew because of personal circumstances - young kids , moving away from Edinburgh area , work commitments etc just has always happened with STHs or walk up attendance in times when season tickets were not common . So nothing new there and that will always happen .
Second factor is economic situation . Reading last couple of pages , get the impression some people just don`t appreciate how badly economic situation can affect folk . Of course , we`d sell more STs and walk ups if team was doing better results and entertainment wise but even if we were top of league and cup favourites , many fans couldn`t afford or justify a ST or regular walk up prices . I`m an overseas fan so my contribution to club is Hibs TV International yearly subscription ( about 200 pounds ) plus Kicks For Kids x 2 plus merchandise , HSL when payment is possible ( possible at both ends ) and odd walk up tickets when I get to games . I`m self employed and with pandemic , borrowed money to pay Hibs TV in 2020 . A tiny example of how economic situation can affect support . Anyway , economic situation will obviously affect fans of all clubs so time for Hibs to take appropriate action .
Was decision to freeze prices right or should some prices have been reduced ? Maybe too late to change prices so time to add incentives to renew ? discounts for groups ? discounts if you bring a new STH ?
Personally I don`t think that a reduction in season ticket numbers is necessarily a bad thing if club makes a big effort to boost walk up numbers - more Football For a Fiver , more Kicks For Kids ( but for all ages ) , more packages with a few matches included , more offers to boost away support numbers , etc etc

[hibee-boys]

Irrespective of the result, season ticket renewed today along with the ‘hibs family’ I go to games with. After following Hibs for 30 plus years a great performance/result is just an added bonus, most of us have seen far darker times than this current run of games. Going to ER is far more than just that 90mins, it’s the meeting of friends, the journey, the pre match beers/banter, the anticipation every of game, the buzz I get EVERY time I walk into the stadium, the post match celebrations/moans. The older I get, mid 40s, the more I realise that this Hibs ‘experience’ means far more to me than just the end result💚

[Charlie123]

I can't justify the renewal cost. Fuel bills, petrol and general living costs going one way whilst my modest income is standing still.
Something has to give. Hibs along with the occasional weekend city break to take in a band are the unfortunate losers that have to be culled to pay for the fuel company doubling my fuel bills.
I get the "it's only £8 a week" argument, but the fuel rise is far more than that figure and I have to find it from somewhere

Try emailing the ticket office [email protected]

I’ve had a few queries about swapping a seat over from one family member to another and they’ve answered emails really quickly.

Thank for that. Will give it a try.

[flash]

Just did mine. In Keano we trust.

[WhileTheChief..]

I'll renew on the day he's confirmed in post :greengrin

[basehibby]

I don't think I'll be renewing - that's got little to do with on field performance and the manager merry-go-round though. More to do with uncertainty of income and the fact I don't get along to enough games to justify the outlay these days. I've been wavering for a few years now - was wavering but decided to support the club through lockdown and committed again this season, but if I'm not getting along to near enough all the games it becomes very difficult to justify.

[overdrive]

Anybody having issues getting the ticketing website to accept payment? I've tried my debit card and two different credit cards and it is saying the details aren't valid.

Working now

[MikeyS]

I'm holding off until we appoint Hartley & Thomson.

[happiehibbie]

I have bought mine.

I think I have been a bit hastie but we will see

Can i add a new season ticket for my youngest son at same time i renew mines and my other 2 kids before deadline?

[Mainstandman]

Can i add a new season ticket for my youngest son at same time i renew mines and my other 2 kids before deadline?
I believe so as long as the seat is free. Should collate as one sale in basket. Sign in before you start then add the new seats first then add renewals

[oneone73]

Right that's me in again. Bring it on.

[Coco Bryce]

Yes that's what I did. You need to open an account for them first. Log out of their account and log into your account and add their ref number to your group.

Pick the seat you want. add it to your basket then also add your tickets from the renew section. Sounds easy but I had a right hassle trying to get it to work on Monday.

[Real Emerald]

After 20 year of continuous season tickets and many more before that I really have had enough and thought that’s it. But hey, I’ve renewed again today with the never ending hope we might be heading in the right direction. Onwards and upwards, GGTTH. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

[JohnM1875]

Have to say this season is the first season in a very long time I'm questioning myself after renewing. Worryingly I'm the positive one in our group who convinces the rest to renew. But I'm just not feeling it at all just now.

Next managerial appointment could well change that, but a wee bit scunnered right now.

I’m sure a lot of fans will take a couple of weeks after the season ends to get the shambles this season has been out their system then see the manager coming in and recruitment starting then renew.

I know people who have been season ticket holders for over a decade, they are also debating whether to sign up because of work commitments, overall costs and also just the general motivation to turn up and watch how bad it is.

We need a good appointment and a marquee signing early doors in the summer to regain excitement and motivation. Can the people currently charge produce that? Honestly, I don’t think they can.

[A Hi-Bee]

I have been watching Hibs for 60 years, now thinking I am going to wait, see who they bring in as manager. If they go with some dull one then my cash will go elsewhere, prices are rocketing and I can invest in many other things.
Over to you now Ron

[mutley]

Probably out of blind faith more than anything else, but renewed my ST today.

I'll still renew but I'm in absolutely no rush to do so.

I really worry about how bad the sales will be next season. People have so many reasons not to renew already with the cost of living being out of control, Hibs being utter pish will just be the final straw for many and make the decision for them.

Hibs are going to need to be very creative with their ticket prices next season if we're going to see half decent crowds at Easter Road.

They can’t be creative as they’ve announced season ticket prices, they have nowhere to go
My season ticket is £22.36 per game

I meant for the walk up tickets.

[JamesHFC]

I think there should be a £20 cap for CAT B tickets. I understand after the pandemic they are probably trying to bring back profit but for a few pound cheaper I honestly think they would see higher sales.

[mcfly]

The board have to get this new manager right it’s so important to sell season tickets

It’s vital we get an imaginative experienced manager to give fans hope as we new a massive clearout and lots of money for new signings.

The club needs the lost fans back but prices are too high in my view

[Glory Lurker]

I don’t think they can do this now folk (like me:greengrin) have already renewed at a higher price.

[Sir David Gray]

There's no way they'll be able to do that since season ticket holders are paying just over £22 per game next season.

[WestStandWillie]

Undecided.

[GreenCastle]

Seems quite a few fans waiting to see who new manager is.

Then we have the recruitment too.

With the deadline 17th May we will be able to see how Many have renewed a few days after in seating plan.

[PolmontHibby]

Never been so uncertain, but renewed a few days ago for what must be at least last 20+ years.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Going to renew in May as I always do and AFAIK all of my party will be doing the same.

I'll get as angry as anybody at a poor team on the park and failings perceived or real by the owner and board, but so far as I'm concerned supporting my club is about doing just that, supporting it. That's the most basic definition of a football fan for me ..... through thick and thin come what may go along and support it.

[The Wireless]

I will renew next week because that’s what real supporters do. If you want the club to go forward they need your help, simple as. The decision of sacking Ross at the time and Maloney was wrong. We will bounce back, of that I am sure, just don’t ask me when. Get behind the club because they need our support now more than ever. 🇳🇬

I know that, I just think in general it shouldn’t cost more than £20 for ticket to any game other than Celtic, Rangers or Hearts. £32 to watch Hibs v Aberdeen in a dead rubber, scandalous.

I musn't be a 'real supporter' then, I've had a season ticket for the last 35 years but financial commitments prevent me from getting one this year. Me bad.

Dearie me. Think it would have been obvious that he meant those who can afford to buy. Why didn't you just post that unfortunately you can't afford one this year instead of criticising the poster. No reasonable supporter would think that 'your bad' because of hardship.

[Sir David Gray]

I certainly agree that £30+ to watch Hibs is ridiculous.

We're going to struggle to pull in season ticket holders next season and if we're charging £30 for walk ups to attend we're not going to encourage many non-season ticket holders to turn up.

[tamig]

There's no way they'll be able to do that since season ticket holders are paying just over £22 per game next season.

So where does the creative ticket pricing you suggested come into the mix? What do you propose?

[Sir David Gray]

I don't know but something that doesn't result in most walk up adults paying £32 to watch Hibs playing Dundee Utd and Aberdeen would be a good start.

Something needs to be attempted or else Easter Road will be like a ghost town next season.

[ekhibee]

I've got every right to critisize them, there's plenty of fans who can't afford to get season tickets this year, for many different reasons, they are real fans just as I am, if it had been that obvious I would never have raised it in the first place so maybe you should reserve your comments for somebody who seems quick enough to critisize people who for one reason or another can't get a season ticket this year when they've been loyal fans and have coughed up money for a season ticket since before some of the people on here were even born.

He didn't say that anyone who couldn't afford a season ticket was 'bad'. It would reasonably be expected that supporters who can't afford season tickets are still supporters facing hardship. Has it really got to the stage where fellow supporters cannot encourage other supporters to renew without offending those who unfortunately cannot afford them? He was simply trying to encourage season ticket uptake?

Fair enough. Sadly, nowadays a lot of people seem to be quite quick to use words and phrases which imply one thing but mean another, but at the end of the day we're all part of the Hibs family one way or another. And if that's what he meant then good on him.

[jgl07]

I will renew reluctantly. More out of habit than anything else.

The dismissal of Jack Ross was hard to take for me. This was particularly the case since he was replaced by a manager with great potential but who appeared to have no clue as to cope with the situation that Hibs were in.

I have attended fewer Hibs matches this season than previously but have taken advantage of the video link for most of the matches that I was not present.

Does anyone know if this is available for home matches next season?

[sunshinejim]

Absolutely mate. There's no way I personally would condone anyone being snobbish regarding finances. Its a hard game for us Hi bees. We were never part of the jambo establishment that looks after its own. Hardship is part and parcel of most Hibernians. No worries mate.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Reading the guys post it pretty well 'was' that obvious. You don't have to be in bloody MENSA to take it as read that he wasn't talking about folk who simply can't afford a season ticket or who for other reason's like work commitments for example make buying one impractical.

A thread like this one pops up every time STs are up for renewal and every time Hibs have a big game and every time anybody dares to suggest folk not buying ST's or Hampden tickets could be more committed to their team they get lectures about folk not being able to afford them, even though the folk posting haven't intended in the slightest to suggest that folk should ignore the electricity bill, or the kids new shoes, or the next mortgage payment and give their money to Hibs instead.
By this time and after countless threads on the subject most folk you would think would take it as read that who is being addressed in these posts are the folk who can afford to buy STs but simply can't be arsed because the club isn't performing to their liking and not folk who have very good non football related reasons not to attend a game or games.

In the semi final tickets thread we had a guy having a go because his near enough 80 year old dad or uncle ( whatever it was ) wasn't going because he was too infirm to attend the match ....... that's how ridiculous this is getting, in what world did that guy think anybody would have a go at a fellow Hibby for not attending in these circumstances, but that's what he was suggesting folk were doing.

So in short, nobody, absolutely nobody, least of all me, is criticising you for being unable to buy a season ticket for next year due to financial circumstances or calling into question your right to call yourself a Hibs fan because of it, it wouldn't matter a toss if you had held a season ticket for the previous 35 years or never held one at all ... The only fans being called out here are the ones who can afford to attend matches of the team the say they are supporters of but won't because of it's recent results and performances and for no other reasons .... what right do they have to call themselves 'supporters' of Hibernian football club? Because the fact is they are about as much use to Hibs as your average Jambo, in fact less because at least next season a few thousand Jambos will pay to get into Easter Road.

[HH81]

I certainly agree that £30+ to watch Hibs is ridiculous.

We're going to struggle to pull in season ticket holders next season and if we're charging £30 for walk ups to attend we're not going to encourage many non-season ticket holders to turn up.

The walk up prices will increase again IMO.

They need to do away with Aberdeen and DU as cat B and just have a cat A and B.

Cat B 25.00 adult
Cat A 30.00

Just do that above then its clear and easy to understand.

If they keep pricing structure from this season, I can honestly see cat B being 29 to 33 or maybe 30 to 34.

So a 1/2 quid increase in all sections.

[mcfly]

Prices are far too high imo

However season tickets will be slow due to not having a manager in place yet.

If it’s a big name experienced manager then seats will sell.

Not sure an Appleton (he may be great) would excite the fans enough.

Regardless there has to be a massive clearout prob never seen before at Easter road. The players are the problem, just NOT good enough, no bottle, no goals in the team and players been there too long in a comfort zone offering nothing. .

Embarrassing to charge £30 to watch that

Fans deserve better - attitude at the club needs to change - fans are fed up with the acceptance of a losing attitude at Easter road.

[Phil MaGlass]

I reckon ST,s will be down for most clubs, cost of living, food,brexit, energy prices and inflation all to blame its going to be a few hard years ahead, especially with the uk govt and the bbc downplaying brexit, that will hit even harder in the next year or two.

[Gatecrasher]

Not renewing, first time not buying a ST in 24 years.

The football is ***** - Saturdays feel more like a chore than a hobby.

I don't like the way the club is being run - I don't think Ron knows what the **** he's doing and sacking JR without a replacement in mind a week before a cup final is amatuer like.
Any good graces from the cup final win are long gone and the club is once again being outperformed by those on much smaller budgets.

You can't watch the games on Hibs tv
They are overpriced

Watching Sportscene I really noticed loads of empty seats at all the grounds. There has to be something that can be done on ticket prices, once the walk up fan stops coming it must be bloody hard to get them back
