Agree . Far too high a price . So will be the same for Celtic and Rangers I suppose and for Hibs fans at Tynecastle . If people haven`t bought a season ticket for financial reasons I doubt they`ll be rushing to pay 70 pounds for Hearts and Rangers matches in first month of league season . Extra incentive to buy ST I suppose . With high prices and festival visitors not able to buy tickets for security reasons , 2 matches which could have been sellouts will probably have a few thousand empty seats .

I've got a few old tickets here: St Johnstone away 1999 - £16, adjusted for inflation - £34. The tickets for Saturday's game are £24, so they're much cheaper.

Millennium derby - £18, adjusted for inflation - £38, so this season's derby tickets are slightly cheaper than they were 23 years ago.

The league have absolutely done a number on us by having these as the first two home games. Ron highlighted it in the recent podcast we told the league about it and requested neither of these games and you have got to really query why the league deliberately did not agree to this reasonable request. For some reason we get the poor end of the stick. Will cost the club a few quid that decision. Absolutely pathetic.

Unfortunately it doesn't stop this as its common place for most fans of the same arse to be on the databases of other clubs. They regularly struggle for away tickets so it is worth buying a 18 quid cat b game ticket to open up their options in the future

[Islington Hibs]

Wages don't match inflation so unsure the point your making?

Since 1999 average wages have gone up massively more than inflation ( although not currently I accept) and wealth is stratospherically higher. As an example house prices in Edinburgh are probably 4x higher. I get not everyone has benefited but I don't think tickets are expensive relative to other stuff. The derby is a big game- Arsenal tickets can easily cost £100 for a big game and seasons now generally over £2k ( mad I know). There is a better atmosphere at ER than Highbury certainly for the big games. Look how much a rock concert is or a night at the opera.

Hibs tickets are pretty good value in my view. The issue is not the price more the quality of the product and the stale nature of Scottish football with the total dominance of just two teams….

[Juniper Greens]

Wages don't match inflation so unsure the point your making?

I think you can see his point quite easily, as it's common to adjust prices for inflation to get the real cost now. However, using national average earnings from 2000 to 2010 and average weekly earnings from then to May 2022, £18 becomes £34.85. So on a purely statistical level, based on wages, football is pretty much bang on as affordable as it was in 2000.
As we know, the problem is some peoples pay has gone up more, and some less. And its typically the worse off in society that struggle with inflation.
Personally, I'd like to see hibs do more to help families who are worse off, but still want to support the club

If we can’t sell out our first home league game of the season against Hearts then it’s more down to events at our own club and pricing levels than anything the league have done.

You can't possible be saying football is now more affordable because house prices have rocketed 4x higher in Edinburgh?


Affordability is subjective. Its down to the individual, some think £35 is nothing, others its a weeks worth of food. Pointless debating it.

Think the football is the biggest issue, Ross, Maloney and from what we've seen at Falkirk and Morton. Folk on the lower end of income can't see value for money so might patch it.

Can't see it selling out, 100% won't if we get beat on Saturday although hope i'm wrong.

[The Spaceman]

Would have been £29 in 2010 based on inflation (and that’s not even 2022 factored in) - much of a muchness?

Didn't Hearts get every game moved to an away game for nearly 2 months, except the Rangers game to Murrayfield, when they were opening their new stand? We weren't asking for much, just a lower cat. game at home first so we could finish our hospitality suites.

[CapitalGreen]

It’s not “all done by computer” at all. The League ensures certain fixtures occur during specific game weeks and certain teams are at home in specific weeks. It’s is 100% within the leagues capacity to ensure a team avoids any big fixtures early in the season if finishing off stadium works.

I’ll be honest, if any other club was asking to reschedule a big game because their hospitality suites weren’t ready I’d be ripping them mercilessly.

Housing going up 4x in Edinburgh is a bad thing for most people. Alot of people cant afford to buy a house and rent only.

Rent prices are insane atm, the only young people that rent in Edinburgh are students who get themselves in thousands of pounds of debt just to have a wee 3 bedroom flat share.

Correct, unless you are a 'property developer' of course high prices & rents means less disposable income for most people. At a time when there is the biggest squeeze in real incomes in memory claims like "stratospheric" rises in wealth are ridiculous & frankly offensive.

[macca70]

I dont know why the tickets cant be sold to tourists, in Holland you can show a passport at the ticket office or ID card. Whats the problem?

Rangers, Hearts, Celtic sell out their allocation and therefore buy tickets for hibs end. Hence the requirement to already be on the database having previously bought a ticket for a cat B game so makes it more difficult for away fans to buy home allocation.

Seems crazy though that an Edinburgh club isn't allowing tickets to be sold to tourists especially during the festival in August. For a club that seems so focussed on the commercial side and making as much money as possible, this seems bonkers.

You could certainly do it last season although I am in east , I got my 2yo a ST two years ago because a seat opened up right next to us on halfway line and last two years all I have had to do it go to Ticket office before the game or in advance to upgrade and get a adult paper ticket for the game. Think it worked out somewhere between 16-22 quid depending on fixture

[.Sean.]

Had a look at e ticketing and you’re lucky if there’s 100-odd left in the West and the East is sold out. Plenty still available in the F5.

What’s madness is still requiring a separate family section in 2022 because some fans still can’t behave properly in front of kids . In saying that I never took my boys in to any designated family section, don’t think it did them any harm but I’m not too sure sometimes.:greengrin

Nonsense if that is the case

[Ringothedog]

Why?, the lower tier is the family section. To buy tickets you need to have a child with you. It’s been that way in the FFL for years. We both might think it is a stupid rule but it actually makes sense

If I was taking my child to a game which is normally a family atmosphere in the stand I sit and then for a big match you end up with groups of drunken bammers sitting beside me and my kids I would not be happy. It is one small section of the ground. There are tickets available in the upper tier or the West stand for Adults without children to buy tickets. It’s not an issue, it only becomes an issue when all those parts of the ground are sold out.

[Ringothedog]

But there are hundreds of seats available in the FF upper and the West stand, they can buy tickets there, just not the FF lower

Aye, it’s not a problem at all until the rest of the stadium is sold out. We have family areas for a reason unfortunately.

[Ringothedog]

Aye, it’s not a problem at all until the rest of the stadium is sold out. We have family areas for a reason unfortunately.

Which is another issue altogether, I would restrict the family area to 3 sections of the FFL probably the sections nearest the West stand. You could then cordon it off down the middle and make the remaining sections available to Adults without children. It may mean people moving but might get rid of the empty seats issue in the FFL

That is how it was when I took my kids to the FFL a few years ago. So much bother with drunken idiots who went to the odd match sitting among fans who were at every home game. It is definitely worth looking to move the family section to a scalable area like the far wings of the east. That way it can be contained and expanded as necessary depending on ST sales. The biggest worry is that if the FFL isn't selling many seats where are the Hibs fans of the future.

2007 - I was there with a mate over from Canada. Left the pub late and missed Brian Kerr's goal!

For some reason I put Kerr first goal at 33s which topped off an excellent evening. :greengrin

[JimBHibees]

£36.50 I think it was and did we not have to apply directly to Hearts to get them? I mind having fill out a form, hand it in somewhere and collect tickets from them, that was during the Romanov years.

Yep vagely remember the form thing.

Hibs really need to sort out the FFL ticketing fiasco, I get its a family section but surely they would rather bums on seats & money into the club rather than a half empty lower tier at every game

I quite like the proposal I read from a poster further up this thread.
We should consolidate the season ticket holders and those who like to sit in the F5 lower into the 3 sections nearest the West stand. The 2 sections next to the East should be safe standing.
This should lead to a full or nearly full F5 lower for the catA games.

[Leith Green]

Spoke to someone at the club earlier, these tickets will be sold if not taken up by families at some point. I suppose it wouldnt take a lot for someone to buy an adult and kids tickets anyway if they are on the database.

[Springbank]

Fair bit of chat on the Hearts fan sites that the boy Sibbick is low on confidence / bombscare etc and they're really hoping Cochrane is back for them, even if he's not fully fit

Either of those would give Elie Youan a chance to prey on the weak - phycially or mentally

A full house helps set the tone - would encourage everyone to get along for this one, buy a ticket & help the Hibees

[Leith Green]

Hibs should be releasing a statement to the press , that there are only 500 tickets remaining , will help move the remaining tickets sooner

I would keep trying the ticket office. If the website isn't showing any available then I would guess it is because of the ticket sales for the Hearts and Rangers games. I expect the TO will be able to sort you a ST and separate seats for those 2 games (at no extra cost),if the ST seat is already sold for them.

Have you tried emailing them?

Either way, it’s not many to shift. Hope the go and ER is packed and bouncing.

Hibs should do a tourists ticket for games, especially during the festival, turn up at the ticket office with their passport to prove they are not a hun etc and then they could be sold a ticket for the game. Every tourist from abroad will have a passport. Simple. Expand the market. Electronic tickets only to make it harder to pass on. Or collect on the day only to ensure its going to the correct person.

Totally agree with this, we need to tap into these opportunities, same with Fixtures around New Year when city is flooded with visitors.

This seems like a pretty good idea, they could also advertise and sell tickets via certain hotels around the city for tourists (not sure how that would work though)

The difficult part would be deciding the number of tickets being made available for tourists so hibs fans don't miss out on a ticket. Would all depend on how well/poor the team is performing :wink:

Nice idea that gets brought up every year. We might sell an extra 5 or 6 tickets I guess but that's about it.

Tourists have a million things to do in Edinburgh. If they're here from Japan or USA or wherever for a couple of days on their tour, they're not going to waste their time at ER.

We seem to think that folk from other countries would love to come see us play. They don't, or we would already have seen them by now.

I get that there might be a few die hard fans out there who like to take in any game. There's nothing stopping them going to ER for Cat B games as it stands but again, we're talking a handful of people at most.

I think you're wrong there, when I go away I look at local fixtures to see if theres a game I can attend. I'm going to Lanzarote this year and will got to a game if UD Lanzarote are at home.

True, but there is a lot stopping them from attending a much more attractive Cat A fixture, mainly the clubs own ticketing policy. We should certainly look at opportunities to expand the clubs name and get tourists along to watch the team. An advertisement board with leaflets or a QR code to scan in the passing at Edinburgh Airport would do for starters. Only takes seconds to scan a code.

In Italy, fans from abroad must bring their passport to prove their identity if they want tickets. That could easily work here.

Plenty of people do football tourism and groundhopping. If I am in a different town or city I always look at fixtures to see if I can go to a match. Edinburgh is a busy place and while Derby games and games against the Uglies may not need to shift more tickets we should see if we can attract any tourists all year round and not just in the festival. Tourist will probably buy souvenirs etc too so money to be made.

[IberianHibernian]

Not sure if still done , but a few years ago Hibs certainly did leave fixture lists in some hotels . I saw some tourists looking for tickets before the recent Morton game , Another reason why there should always be tickets on sale at the ground and not just online .

How on earth would you know that?:confused:

[Jones28]

If I was taking my child to a game which is normally a family atmosphere in the stand I sit and then for a big match you end up with groups of drunken bammers sitting beside me and my kids I would not be happy. It is one small section of the ground. There are tickets available in the upper tier or the West stand for Adults without children to buy tickets. It’s not an issue, it only becomes an issue when all those parts of the ground are sold out.

Which happens fairly often. There’s kids all over the stadium, it shouldn’t be the case that dozens of seats are left unsold.

Am I missing something? We are only talking about the FFL which is our family section. Other parts of the stadium and kids is not being discussed. If I had a young family in the family section of the stadium I would not want groups of adults without children in the same part of the ground, particularly for a derby. The empty seats issue is for the club to resolve. But I stand by what I said previously.

Think your wrong there. Not sure where you sit at ER but i regularly see groups that are clearly tourists. During the festival there are tens of thousands visiting edinburgh. Even if a small percentage of them went to a game it would be a boost to the club. If anything the club should encourage this...with safe guards.

Of course they should...I mean its not as if all those Canadian, Australian, Irish and USian passport holders could possibly be 1st generation ex-Pat Sons of William or part of the Diaspira or the likes after all.

Tbh I don't know and I'm glad I'm not the one who would need to come up with a solution. Everything the do will be unacceptable to someone.

Moving the family section to another area to accommodate Safe Standing, for example, would annoy those who have held those seats for a while. This would potentially only just move the issue to a different part of the stadium if the below is correct.

I'm sure the club would be able to do some sort of user analysis to determine the ratio use of child ST to adult ST which are purchased together in order to put in place some control mechanisms, as it looks like the cheaper STs in there are being abused, but then of course there are 1000 reasons why a child may not attend and parent/guardian still does so not exactly a black and white exercise.

Happy to give my personal account from last season. I have a ST with my daughter which we’ve had for several season in the middle section of the FFL. She probably attended 5 or 6 times two seasons ago, 8 or 9 times last season. She’s already been to 3 games this season so her natural interest is growing.

A season ticket in the 13 years or under is an investment in a future Hibs fan in my opinion.

It is perfectly understandable and acceptable in my eyes for a young person not to attend every week. It’s not as if her non attendance across the season is denying entry to another Hibs fan.

Hopefully. Wouldn’t surprise me if that’s not the case though.

[Ringothedog]

Even if it is the case it’s not much of an issue as there only just over 50 tickets left in the FFL

Wonder how our new recruits will cope in the Derby - Tavares, Kenneh, Youan, Cabraja, Bojang & Miller

Trying to buy single ticket for FF upper buy when going through ticketing it wont login despite putting in my client ref number required from previous tickets.

Pain in backside so looks like I will miss out.

[Callum7]

97 left.

97 left.

Basically the game is sold out apart from a few single seats and the executive seats which were put on sale

[Leith Green]

Tickets will keep appearing.. The club operates a buy back scheme for season ticket holders who cant attend. The game will already have sold out before these seat releases

[Pretty Boy]

Today's I have no life section by section update:

East - All sections sold out

West - All regular sections sold out except 15
West 15 - 1
West Executive - 38

[Ringothedog]

3 together in the East section 37 now available

[Juice-Terry]

No more tickets available online (or there's something wrong with the ticket site).

[yerauldda]

Yep, can’t buy tickets anymore. Tremendous effort to sell this out 3 days before the game.

[KdyHby]

Is it sold out, no longer listed

[mutley]

Sold out and Ticket exchange available for ST holders that can't make it

[Stuart93]

Still very annoying there’ll be hundreds of empty seats in the FFL

[BS44]

Ever happy?

Which are all paid for, that is the choice of the person who has a season ticket. Go or don’t go. The season ticket exchange gives all season ticket holders the opportunity to put their tickets up for resale. Maybe that will make a difference

Sadly there is not a lot the club can do about that. If the seats have been purchased and people don't turn up, and also they don't sell their seat via Ticket Exchange, technically they have been paid for even if they stay empty. I do agree that it is annoying when you see the same seats empty for "sold out" games that could have a- given someone a chance to be at the game and b- revenue for the club

To be honest, if you have a look at the East and West stands they will be the same. It just looks worse in the FFL as it is a smaller area

Loads of kids play football on a Sunday

[erin go bragh]

Fishey site now saying it’s sold out . Maybe worth the club saying if any season holder can’t make it , put the seat back up on the ticket exchange system.Edit ( ticket exchange now in operation)

[Stuart93]

Not blaming the club for it but it looks ***** and will continue to look ***** in the FFL until it’s addressed in some way

It doesn’t really matter what day the games on, it seems to be every home game

If you have ever had young kids you will understand that sometimes they just don’t want to go to the football. There can be hundreds of other things they want to do. That is the issue with a family section. The other issue is that it is too big for the amount who want to sit there. Reduce it to 3 sections might make a difference

If we win, the FFL could be empty for all i care.

Great news that it is sold out. Huge opportunity to get a great start to the season.:flag:

Agree! I find all this chat about the FFL extremely boring. It's not going to be addressed anytime soon. Hibs fans have paid for tickets, but chose not to attend, well that's up to them. It's still the schools' holidays, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are whole families not able to attend.

Why shouldn’t it be addressed though?

Nothing worse than being at the game or watching it on tv and seeing it near enough empty. It detracts from the atmosphere, for me anyway.

A large majority who sit in they seats and don’t attend don’t bother releasing their seats for resale either which would help for games like Sunday that are sold out

I didn't say it shouldn't be addressed. Just it's not going to be addressed anytime soon, as ST for the 2022/23 season have already been bought and paid for.

Re atmosphere, I've been at ER in the pouring rain with 8,000 fans in attendance and the atmosphere was great coming back from a two-nil deficit to win three-two. Sorry, but it's what happens on the pitch that is more important to me. If the team are winning, then the atmosphere will generally be good. If the team are losing and playing poorly, then the atmosphere is rubbish. A great atmosphere doesn't mean a winning team - once the first goal is scored against us the atmosphere nose-dives. All in my opinion.

Your last paragraph is interesting.

Both the manager and players said the away fans up at St J helped them get over the line.

A fuller stadium creates a better atmosphere and encourages the players on the park imo.

No sure why you get so raging about this, it's a person's choice to go or not. Full houses are great but in hibs case I don't really think you can say its won us games or not, been to many full houses and hibs have not turned up. Usually pull off a surprise result when we are not fancied.

There’s a simple way for it to be addressed. People that aren’t able to make a game that sells out should be putting the seats up for resale.

I’m not raging at all. Just think it’ll look/does look a bit **** when the rest of the stadium will be full and there’ll be plenty empty seats in the FFL.

You can have an opinion on something without being “raging”.

It is a persons choice to go or not but it’s a lot easier to make when the tickets are so cheap. We don’t need a dedicated family section these days. I’d make the price the same for under 18’s anywhere in the stadium (obviously not executive seats). To help with cost we could offer cat b season tickets with the option of first refusal on the seat for cat a

[patlowe]

This is probably going over old ground but perhaps moving the family section to another area in the stadium (not that that would be without problems) would make it less of a prominent issue. It's not solving the fundamental problem but it would be less immediately visible on TV or at pitch level. Appreciate it may seem trivial to many fans but how the stadium looks on match day will no doubt be a big part of Ron's thinking in terms of growing the club. As I say, I've not really followed this debate to date so no doubt this has been discussed to death.

It's 2022, if someone doesn't agree with your opinion you're instantly raging now.

I’m not sure, I suppose the releasing your ticket for resale attempts to address it but doesn’t work if people choose not to.

I think another posters suggestion of cutting it from the full FFL to 2 or 3 sections could work.

I suppose there’ll be people at club on big bucks who’re paid to come up with these kinds of ideas

Did you not say you weren't buying a season ticket yourself? Bit rich to start then complaining that those that do don't always go.

Disclaimer: you may have bought one since I last saw you post about it in which case I retract :greengrin

[Mcbizz1998]

I must say I don’t particularly get the need for a family section in FFL. I sit right in the middle of the East, there are plenty children and families. They all seem to be just fine.

What’s the point of it?

Let say the 5 sections are reduced to two and ‘x amount’ of young people decide on a particular match day they don’t want to attend with their parent. How will the fact that 5 section have been condensed into 2 sections impact the fact that the YP has not attended?

It provides opportunities for the next generation of Hibs fans to attend at very, very, very reasonable prices. I’m sure my daughters seat works out at around £2.86 a game.

Edit - £2.63, or £2.50 if you include the Norwich game.

I think the number of season tickets sold probably outweighs 2 or 3 sections though.

And why should someone who has (for example) had great seats at the back of one of the new "non family" sections have to move seats?

The idea some are putting out there that it's only the ffl that will have empty seats is an absolute nonsense as well btw.

[BlackSheep]

What would you like to see happen to ‘address’ it?

If family sections were based in the west then they wouldn't be seen as much on Televised games....

Would love to see a safe standing area behind the goals in the FFL.
