Good afternoon,
I hope you are keeping well.
Today, we are getting in touch to provide detailed information regarding your hospitality memberships for the 2022/2023 season which kicks off with the hugely anticipated Edinburgh Derby on Sunday 7 August.
This season marks the beginning of a new hospitality era for Hibernian Football Club with the completion of a significant seven-figure refurbishment of the West Stand and with the appointment of Elior as our new catering partner, who together with the Club, will operate and execute the matchday hospitality experience.
As a valued Albion Bar membership holder for the 22/23 season below you will find all the need-to-know information on your membership and the benefits that come with it. Please read over the following information carefully.
Your Membership Card
All Albion Bar Access Only membership cards have now been produced and will be posted out first class on Monday 1st August. Digital Albion Bar Membership cards that were previously issued were done so in error and should be discarded. New digital membership cards will be issued by the beginning of week commencing 1st August.
If you have not received your physical membership card by Wednesday 3 August, get in touch and we can organise reprints to be issued ahead of the opening fixture. Please do not leave this to the last minute where possible. Please also note that you should not have received an Albion Bar lanyard with your membership card. This was listed on your welcone letter in error.
Your physical/digital membership card will be required for entry to the Stadium on matchday. Once entered you will be given a wristband which will allow you to enter again post-match.
Your Albion Bar Access Only membership covers all home matches at Easter Road, which includes cinch Premiership and Scottish Cup fixtures.
If you have lost or misplaced your membership card ahead of a fixture, please get in touch and we can organise paper tickets to be made available for collection from reception on the day.
It is imperative that we have accurate scanning numbers on matchday therefore all Albion Bar Access Only ticket holders must scan in using their membership card.
Accessing the Stadium and Hospitality Lounges
Upon arrival to the Stadium all hospitality members should enter via the West Stand main reception. We will have new executive turnstiles installed at the reception where members can self-scan into the Stadium. There will be staff on hand to assist anyone with any questions or issues.
Level 1 – Albion Bar and Tornadoes Restaurant
Level 2 – Edinburgh Club and Pioneers Restaurant
Level 3 – Emerald Club
Once you have entered the Stadium via Reception you will make your way to your lounge where you will be greeted by our matchday hosts who will welcome you into the lounge and direct you to your area.

What to expect from Elior!
Elior, who are also the contract caterers at BT Murrayfield, were selected as our Stadium caterer following a rigorous process and will work closely with the Club to deliver innovation around retail brands, a fan zone for pre-and post-match entertainment, seven different matchday hospitality experiences and non-matchday hospitality and events.
In what was a competitive, thorough process, Elior were the stand-out tender as we look to offer supporters the best-in-class experience around the Stadium.
Over the summer, there’s been an extensive amount of work at Easter Road, as the Club looks to offer one of the best hospitality experiences in Scotland. With that in mind, Elior has designed a menu focused on sharing the best of Scottish produce.
Alongside this, service will be at the heart of the supporter journey in kiosk and hospitality areas, and they share similar sustainability and social values and will support Hibs’ ‘Greenest Club in Scotland’ campaign.
We are extremely excited about the journey we are all on together and we can’t wait to welcome you all to the brand-new lounges for the opening Edinburgh Derby.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch with myself or the team at
[email protected] should you have any questions or need some assistance.
Many thanks,
Aidan
