Current ST Prices

[King Cosell]

Season tickets still on sale, but pricing chart the club are showing is from before the season started. Surely a £420 ticket is now around £375. Or less because the 2 games we've had are category A.

Ron the Don didn’t get where he is today giving people discount :greengrin

Worth a try though

Snooze you lose until the Half STs go on sale. Otherwise, you could feasibly have seasons where there are e.g. no Hearts/Celtic/Rangers home games for a while and fans sitting on their hands until those games (or when they come back from a summer holiday!) to buy, losing the club valuable revenue.

[wookie70]

I think there should be a discount if a fan can show they went to the home games and have now decided to commit to a ST.

I wonder how the 2 guys that asked for a refund on their ST before the season started are getting on.

[Stubbsy90+2]

The club should offer a discount based on the fact you’ll have missed 2 games already imo.

Yeah, I agree. Doubt there’s much, if any, financial benefit is purchasing a season ticket if you deduct those 2 games. Appreciate that saving money isn’t always the priority, I’d suspect that most of us who commit at the beginning of the season will miss a couple of games anyway on average but it hardly incentivises those who were 50/50 about signing up now🤔

I checked with the TO earlier and the reply I got stated "we are unable to amend the prices once the season has started".

[Just_Jimmy]

You've already missed a Derby and Rangers if you buy now and pay the same price as someone who renewed before the season.

Don't think Hibs will get many takers now.

I asked this question quite a few years ago now when we had Mowbray in charge, from memory they did take the 2 games equivalent I had missed off the price. This was all done at the ticket office though after I just turned up one day with a wad of cash. Ahhh the good old days when I had cash in my pocket :greengrin

[JimBHibees]

Surprised about that thought you would have got season ticket at cheaper price pro rata for the games you missed.

[allezsauzee]

If you discount ST prices, there's less incentive for fans to commit before the season starts, why not just wait and see how the season is going and then buy the ticket for a lower price. I don't think it would make commercial sense in the long term to do this.

Correct. The club clearly want the money in as early as possible from them going on sale.

To offer discounts after games have been played isn't a sensible move. You could potentially see significant numbers of people simply waiting until the fixtures are out and then deciding to hold off.

Although I do understand why people are asking the question.

[Sir David Gray]

Yeah I noticed this after the Hearts game, it seems a bit off to me to be honest.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Wonder if the Match Packs will now re-surface?

[Onion]

Was quite impressed when Hibs emailed me after Hearts game pushing ST, capturing the moment, But felt insulted when the price was exact same as pre-season ! What kind of muppets do they employ in their Marketing Dept that they think they might just get away with that ? Shoddy.

Accept that, but no one is asking for a full value discount. Some reduction for the missed games makes complete sense otherwise few will sign up - costing the club much needed £££.

It won't cost the club anything. People will just pay the walk up prices until they buy a half season ticket.

I would bet anything that if Hibs offered discounts as the season progressed, this season we'd have had people who currently have STs, deliberately watching the hearts and Sevco games on TV at home then getting a season ticket.

Everyone knows the deal. Buy early, get a reduced price. Buy after that deadline, pay the full price or wait until December.

The club don't need the extra hassle and expense of juggling available seats for walk ups and calculating week by week discounts for folk who decide that they're Hibs supporters after all.

Just buy a season ticket or don't, but stop whinging when you inevitably miss out!

Next season I will ask if I can get my season ticket cheaper as I will miss two games for my holidays, is that not the same thing?

[Danderhall Hibs]

Will half season tickets be full price? :greengrin

Exactly this.

I agree If anything they should be more aggressively marketed on a upward scale towards the full walk-up prices, the closer to the season start, as an incentive to get in early

[Brightside]

Yes - Exactly the same thing. Or if you miss a game due to being sick can you get a refund? You can buy a Season Ticket or a Half Season Ticket. I'm not aware of a 3 games into the season ticket.

ST sales should end before the opening match. If the club want to extend the deadline, they should offer a discount.

[Scouse Hibee]

No they shouldn’t, if folk want to buy after the season has started then fair enough but the price should remain the same.

[hibbyfraelibby]

The club can do what they like. Thats the price. You don't like the price then don't buy. No-one is forcing you.

[KWJ]

I'm assuming the main reason they came back on sale was because of the Boyle signing.

[King Cosell]

Got mine months ago, mate.

[Stubbsy90+2]

Of course they can do what they like. I’d suspect people would be a lot more likely to buy them though if they weren’t paying for games that have already happened.

It’s really not the exact same thing.

One scenario is buying tickets for games that have already taken place. With the Hearts game especially, you’re buying a ticket for a seat that was actually sold to someone else. The other is buying in advance and not being able to make it. They’re really quite different.

If you're on holiday for the first 2 weeks of the season, it's exactly the same thing.

I guess Hibs could introduce a rolling annual season ticket so if you buy it in October, it runs out at the end of the following September.

But for the handful of people who couldn't bring themselves to commit in July, it's not worth the hassle. It's hardly even worth this discussion.

[WhileTheChief..]

There would be no point having half-season tickets then if you could just buy a discounted ST at any time of the year.

Exactly. Hibs prerogative to charge what they like for STs pre and post season start. Just don't bother folk with spam emails pushing full priced Season Tickets after games have already been played. Not clever marketing or a good look :greengrin

But you’ll still have presumably bought that before your holiday, so it’s your choice to book a holiday and miss the games you’ve already paid for. If you can’t make something you’ve already paid for, that’s completely different to being asked to pay for an event that’s already happened, especially when someone else actually bought the seat you’re paying for for at least one of those events. I could understand it more for the rangers game since it didn’t sell out. But the hearts game was sold out and should definitely be removed from any season ticket bought going forward.

So again, it’s not the exact same thing, nowhere near it.

[Greenworld]

It's exactly the same thing to me.

No-one is asking anyone to pay for events that have already happened. They're being asked to pay for a guaranteed ticket and seat for every game, plus priority for tickets for other games like semis and finals. If folk don't want that, they can pay per game which is probably the same price as a season ticket after 2 games or still more expensive.

I very much doubt that there are more than a handful of folk looking for discounted season tickets after the first 2 home games.

If any.

So why are Hibs emailing folk after the Hearts game pushing Season Tickets at full price ? They need to get over it, and focus on trying to attract walk ups to future games, if they're unable or unwilling to adjust ST prices for games already gone. We're all inherently looking to support the club in whatever way we can, so they're pushing at an open door. Just don't insult folk in the process.

I assume Hibs are still offering them because they guarantee a seat for every game, the same seat, plus priority for scarce away tickets like semis, finals and other cup games.

I don't think there's any insult in that. Folk will do what they want to do regardless of Hibs advertising strategy.
