Possible Euro Opponents

[JamesHFC]

The kick off time Hibs have on the confirmation email is 19:30, not sure whats going on. :confused:

It's definitely 7.30pm

[lyonhibs]

It's definitely 7.30pm

Someone needs to inform the hosts who have it as 20h45, thus 19h45, on their own website

Unless you mean the home leg? That's 19h30.

UEFA also has the 2ng leg as 7.45pm UK time.

[lyonhibs]

Interesting. FC Luzern's own public sale began a couple of hours ago. Either the segment right next to ours, D1, is totally sold out already or being held back from sale to them.

Would imagine it's being held for us, if we sell enough tickets. That ties up with Kieran P's comments that there is more tickets for us if we need them.

I'm referring to the away leg. My email confirmation for the away tickets states 19:30 ko but is that their time or our time? :confused: :dunno:

Kicking off 15 minutes earlier would certainly suit those who are staying in Basel or Zurich who need to catch the last trains, my group included.

Me too tbh, but that's what the evidence seems to be pointing towards. Hopefully we'll have then tucked up in an easy 3-0 win during normal time.......

Definitely not. Firework/pyro sales to individuals is banned nationwide except for certain windows around big events, I think only NYE and national day on August 1st.

There goes that idea then. :greengrin

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Think it's already been mentioned but there should be a section of site that requires hibs first membership to be viewed and any ticket links only work from that page so nobody can simply pass link onto someone else.

Even after following the link you need to log into account & assign ticket, I assumed that this would only be possible if you've got the required privileges?

[Alex Trager]

a longer connection time and I'd have done just that but with only 3 hours between flights there would be no time.

Ah we are flying into Zurich hence our longer connection time. Three hours isn’t enough you’re right. Pain in the arse having to go through all the security etc again.

Even if there was not enough, your post would have made no difference.

A few hours in Schiphol will get me used to the extortionate beer prices to come in Switzerland.

I presume those who wish to will have the added bonus of being able to enjoy a refreshment in their seat in the swisspoarena or is it like England where it can only be drunk in the concourse? 🍻

[WhileTheChief..]

It must be.

From memory so some of this might be wrong. (I refuse to Google it).

1976?

We were home first and it was a horrible evening with a much lower crowd than would have been the case because of the rain. I was half way up the east terrace, soaking.

Harper scored a cracker down the slope, but John Brownlie missed a penalty in the second half.

Hibs scored first in the second leg at Anfield (Alex Edwards free kick) to go 2 up, but John Toshack scored a hat trick to knock us out.

Should have, could have, would have. As usual.

Not bad at all.

From the article I read….

Hibs, who were fifth in the Premiership, last played an English side in the third round of the 1975-76 Uefa Cup, beating Liverpool 1-0 at Easter Road but losing 3-1 at Anfield.

Booze and bratwurst will I'm sure be on sale and consumed in large volumes. At seat is fine. Beer abv may be a bit less than normal but it's not alcohol free.

Attendances were steeply declining by mid 70s, Leeds a couple of years earlier was nearly twice as much.

IIRC, the beer on sale inside the stadium in Brondby was 2% but that was more than adequate for topping up on.

Beer in the supermarket in Switzerland is extremely cheap compared to bar prices, the same volume of feldschlossen that’s 9chf in a bar will be 1.5chf in a supermarket. Just in case anyone is on a tight budget.

It was scored at the kop end and we were up the other end, hugely disappointing not to beat them as would have been a big scalp. Coulda, shoulda as you said.

It will be 1 per ST holder as its one per Hibs first member.

The second leg will kick off at 8.45pm (local time), so 7:45pm UK time, at the Swissporarena in Luzern.The stadium has a capacity for 17,000 spectators and the Club have been allocated the full visitors section totalling 796 tickets. Following discussion should the demand for tickets be greater than this FC Luzern have indicated that some additional tickets may be made available to Hibernian Supporters.
Tickets are currently available to Hibs First Members only until 5pm on Wednesday 9 August. After this time, all remaining tickets will become available to Season Ticket Holders on a first-come, first-serve basis. Should this allocation not sellout, tickets will then go on General Sale at 5pm on Friday 11 August.
CLICK HERE (https://www.eticketing.co.uk/hibernianfc/EDP/Event/Index/3567) to purchase a ticket when they go on sale at 5pm on Wednesday 9 August!

Only one ticket can be purchased per Hibs First Member or per Season Ticket Holder.

You're right. 1975 and Edward's goal was an equaliser but not a free kick. I just found a report which I had to enlarge to read and it looks like it was a sweeping move finished by a 1-2 with Des Bremner.

See the report "Toshack's Hattrick sorts out Hibs":

[Hermit Crab]

Anyone going to Lucerne I strongly suggest you be ready tomorrow at 5pm to get tickets because the official PR from Hibs states that Luzern have only indicated there is a chance we may get additional tickets, not we definitely will get more. So 796 may be all we are getting. Fastest finger first.

Or Friday if you're not a ST holder. I will gladly sell my body for a ticket if necessary, 25 quid is a fair
price

Although like I mentioned elsewhere the block right next to the normal away end is blocked from sale to Luzern fans,

Also true, the safe assumption would be that the general sale would also be 1 pp right? Was hoping to go with another Scot out here who's a good mate but not a Hibs fan so can easily be sacrificed at the altar of getting in the away end

Yeah it will definitely be 1 per person across the board, I'd suggest its big ask to get someone a ticket who's not a Hibs fan with such a small allocation available.

In that case obviously he's not getting in the away end, if the allocation gets increased (like I say, it looks like 1 whole extra block isn't available for sale ton their fans yet then maybe)

Was happy (obviously) to go in the home end to watch Hearts get scudded against Zurich last year, not this time though

If you don't end up with one through Hibs you'll surely still be travelling down to Lucerne in any case as theres chance there might be some on sale at the ground and you could always pick up a spare from a fan there too.

I'll assume that was drinks of the World unless you just bought booze from the Co-op. A word of warning, one of the 2 or 3 big supermarket chains here is called Migros. Thanks to bring founded by Quakers, it doesn't sell booze. It's subsidiary called Migrolino does though.

Paper tickets, assume Hibs will write the names of the ticket holder on the back so Luzern can check ID on entry, like they do with concession tickets. They write U16/U18/O65 etc on them

Surely if they were going to be checking ID they’d have to make it clear up front (like they mentioned for collections in Andorra). Not as if everyone will just be wandering round with their passport.

Nevertheless agree would have saved everyone a lot of hassle if it had also been added to the main fixtures page.

[Johnny_Leith]

17:10 email received by Hibs. Was already logged in at that point trying to find the game on the events which was and still is missing.

Why on earth wouldn't it have been added to the main e-ticket page? That seems a bollocks up of epic proportions

[weecounty hibby]

I am ****ing livid. Why the **** bother having a ticket website if the only way to get tickets is via a link that actually landed on my inbox 22 minutes after the tickets went on sale

[marinello59]

There are tickets still getting released, just got two.

[Cardinal G]

It was emailed to everyone. Try your junk folder. Not really hibs fault this. It was showing for me and I’m on 4G in central London just now.

I get it HC but I was a bit naive I guess and green behind the ears and logged in tickets page as I always do not thinking /realising link from news page should have been used.
Hotel and flights are booked so going regardless but looks like we may be in home end. Going to get my daughter to have a look for me on Luzernes home ticket page.

I agree - fingers crossed the extra batch of tickets comes to fruition, I think it will. And of course Hibs add to the list as per every other fixture

There are still tickets,follow the link and clear your filters,

Well done for being more patient than I was but will try myself on off chance but not holding out much hope

[davhibby]

If you click to try again when it shows up with the no seats available message it eventually gives you them. Or it did for me at about quarter past. Think this is the website glitching out rather than a sell out

[B.H.F.C]

I think there will still be tickets or Hibs would have put a tweet out.

[madhibby]

I managed to get the two tickets I was after for myself and a mate - no seat numbers on the tickets - just says general admission? Initially I couldn't find the Luzern away ticket purchase indicator but it eventually appeared. I would keep trying until Hibs state the initial 796 tickets are sold out.

[BS44]

Email updated, allocation sold out. Hibs speaking to Siss mob about getting more tickets

[HTD1875]

UPDATED: Wednesday 9 August at 5:30pm*

Our initial allocation of tickets has now sold out! The Club are currently in dialogue with FC Luzern to enquire about receiving additional tickets.

Full details of any additional tickets will be communicated in due course.

[weecounty hibby]

For those who got tickets where in the stadium are they? I'm on Lucernes website and going to buy for the hone end but want to be as close to the Hibs fans as possible

we got South-East Corner - C6. You can always wait until Hibs get the 2nd batch.

[Johnny_Leith]

I'm really thoroughly unimpressed with my experience trying to get tickets today.

[lyonhibs]

we got South-East Corner - C6. You can always wait until Hibs get the 2nd batch.

The Sektor right next to us is still not for sale to Luzern game, that'll be what's up for grabs/negotiation as far as extra tickets go

[weecounty hibby]

we got South-East Corner - C6. You can always wait until Hibs get the 2nd batch.

Yeah or may miss out again or we may not even get any more. We'll take our chances in the home end as no point spending so much money and not getting to the game. Honestly never seen such a **** up. My email telling me they were on sale and here is the link landed 22 mins after they went on sale. As I've said already what us the point to having a ticketing site and then not actually allowing you to buy tickets on it. Raging!!!

[Cardinal G]

I get that but if its going to happen they need to let us know sooner rather than later as I worry that home end will soon fill up so would gamble and jump into home end now before it does

The link was the same as the link you got emailed yesterday, the same link which was in the article on the website. If you followed the link and the instructions you would've got a ticket no probs. It's not Hibs fault that you didn't follow the instructions, they put them on sale at 5pm like they said they would.

[weecounty hibby]

Agreed. What if we only get a small amount and then as you say tye home end starts to sell out. I'm into the home end as it seems to be pretty easy to buy tickets. Which is a novelty when you're a Hibs fan

[weecounty hibby]

The link was the same as the link you got emailed yesterday, the same link which was in the article on the website. If you followed the link and the instructions you would've got a ticket no probs.

Why would I need to follow a link when we have a ticket site. And I assume you are an AST so the link was open from yesterday? Not for me it wasnt. And it seems it wasn't just me that did the same thing, so I'd suggest that it's not just my fault but thanks for your help

Hibs told/asked you to follow the link that's why. It's not Hibs fault if you didn't follow their instructions. And no I'm not an AST....or Hibs First member as they are called now.

[weecounty hibby]

If C6 is Hibs then the section next to it, D1, looks like it's not on sale yet and is about the same size. Would be good to know very quickly what are the chances of more tickers and how many

[bringbackbenny]

I followed the link yesterday and it was exactly the same as the link today. But you couldn't buy/assign tickets if you were a ST holder, that only went live at 5pm today.

Agree. It wasn't ideal from Hibs not having it on the e-ticketing match list, but at 17.02 when the match didn't appear, I read the article from yesterday that had a link on it.

Seems I'm guilty of thinking I could just log in when the tickets went on sale and purchase some.

Having just checked the email from Hibs there's nothing stating the fixture wouldn't be listed on the events section of the website. Equally there was no Comms around having to follow the link, and only the link, to get tickets.

Let's not get into sitting there and refreshing the clear filters section over and over with nothing changing. Only got to see the section twice and nothing came up when I selected it.

[Brooster]

I followed the link yesterday and it was exactly the same as the link today. But you couldn't buy/assign tickets if you were a ST holder, that only went live at 5pm today.

Yeah, the link went live at 5pm as Hibs said it would.

[weecounty hibby]

So, here's the deal. I may have not read everything from Hibs but when there are so many people who have done the same, surely then there is an issue with how it's been handled. And again, I'll say it. Why bother with a ticket site when that ticket site doesn't then sell tickets and you need to follow a specific link sent out. Honestly think Hibs have made it harder than it needed to be

Calm down to a panic mate. There’s a chance we are getting more. Just relax.

[Ringothedog]

Let’s hope we get more tickets, from the communications so far it would appear we will get more and hopefully satisfy demand. I would guess another 800 will be made available for us.

Yeah, as I say above I've had a look on the Lucerne website and tye section next to ours isn't for sale and looks the same size as the one already sold. Hopefully we get the same again and we all manage to get in. I was buying for others as well so you wil understand my frustration!

[Ringothedog]

Never in doubt

[Pretty Boy]

It's no issue for me as I can't travel anyway but is there a reason tickets for this game were handled differently from how ticket sales usually are with links in emails and the like?

I hardly ever read the emails Hibs send so would probably have missed out as well as I'd just assume sales would be through the ticketing website.

If we don't get any more then unless Luzern are happy to have 800 tickets unsold, the block right next to will go on sale to Luzern fans and can become an unofficial extended away end. That's my plan, hopefully Hibs and Luzern come to a common sense arrangement though

[sauzee1989]

They only have around 2500 tickets for sale just now so if the sales are good we may not get more.

[the_ginger_hibee]

You’d surely just be able to nip into the additional Hibs section, I can’t see it selling out and the stewards probably won’t overly fussed to be honest. It’s not as if we will cause bother.

[lyonhibs]

That's my current dilemma. Holding off for the announcement about extra tickets which surely has to come tomorrow?

Possibly. I'd be giving Hibs a few days to sort more tickets if I was in the situation personally. Luzern unlikely to completely sell out anyway so could probably make a late call to sit in home end if Hibs additional tickets didn't come through.

[the_ginger_hibee]

That's my current dilemma. Holding off for the announcement about extra tickets which surely has to come tomorrow?

It also makes Luzern think they'll need more tickets than they actually do if a load of Hibs fans start buying them, making it less likely they give Hibs more tickets. Bit of a dilemma.

[Hibby70]

I'd buy a ticket for the home end just to be sure. That'll be the price of a pint over there.

[Cardinal G]

That's my current dilemma. Holding off for the announcement about extra tickets which surely has to come tomorrow?

Clearly demand is there and with fans able to buy home end tickets I would hope it's sooner rather than later, nothing stopping something being agreed tonight if potential was already in place if just to allay our concerns, if it doesn't happen then let us know so we can get home end ones.

You have to know one thing: The weather is always brilliant when Luzern plays a European game at home. (Except for the Feyenoord game, but then the Covid regulations kicked in.) :greengrin
Looking forward to the game and to our turnaround. :wink: Might be in Pickwick's, Shamrock or another bar on Wednesday evening or Thursday daytime to have a pint or two. Since our police tagged this game as "high risk", which is total nonsense, we have to show them idiots that they are wrong.

I only heard good stuff of the people who travelled and that they had a lot of fun in EDI even if the number of fans was a bit embarassing to be honest. Hope you'll have a similar experience at Europe's most beautiful fan zone.

Out of interest, presuming the main Luzern fan drinking area isn't also around the Kappellebrucke, where is it? Not that any of us have any intention of wasting time in the Swiss sunshine looking for trouble, just interested.

On normal matchdays, people drink either in front of the stadium (Restaurant Schützenhaus, also with a matchday DJ), at one of the tents in front of the stadium, at Restaurant Militärgarten, Pallino, Roadhouse or also at Pickwicks and some other bars like Anfield Pub or Tschuppi's. So mainly near the train station or around the stadium. On European games, the police tries to separate the fans and won't let Luzern ultras drink at Pickwicks. They have the approach to dedicate the old town part to the away fans and the "new town" part to Luzern supporters. Generally, every Scottish fan should be fine at any of the named bars or areas above, whether it is on Wednesday or or matchday. As long as there aren't big provocations, everything should be fine. St. Johnstone was similar 9 years ago. Very friendly atmosphere. We even were joined by the Scottish team for a few pints at Roadhouse after the game. :greengrin
On the contrary, the Swedes of Djurgardens came to town with a big mob of ultras and hools, also attacked Luzern fans in Stockholm itself and in the town of Luzern, so the whole game was held in a more hostile atmosphere. I did not see any of this with the Hibs game, so don't expect it to be unfriendly.

The main supporters bar which is run by the Ultras is "Zone 5" at Bundesplatz. On a matchday I wouldn't suggest to go to Zone 5. It is like at many supporter pubs, 90% of the people would be nice, but some hooligans or ultras wouldn't like the presence of away fans. Mixed with alcohol, problems could occur.
Thing is: Zone 5 is located on the way from the train station to the stadium. When walking by, just don't do the usual 'British' provocation stuff like 'the w*nking hand'. Because this in Switzerland usually will lead to trouble as people see you as a problem seeking chap.
The quickest way to get to the stadium will be by S-Bahn (train), Bus Nr. 20 or then walk with the big "fan march" that I think will be allowed by the police.

Thing is: Zone 5 is located on the way from the train station to the stadium. When walking by, just don't do the usual 'British' provocation stuff like 'the w*nking hand'. Because this in Switzerland usually will lead to trouble as people see you as a problem seeking chap.
The quickest way to get to the stadium will be by S-Bahn (train), Bus Nr. 20 or then walk with the big "fan march" that I think will be allowed by the police.

Great information, I'm really looking forward to visiting Luzern, telling me not to go somewhere usually has the opposite effect so may pop into Zone 5 🤔🤣

I don't envisage any major issues on the day, maybe see you around town on Thursday 👍🏻

On normal matchdays, people drink either in front of the stadium (Restaurant Schützenhaus, also with a matchday DJ), at one of the tents in front of the stadium, at Restaurant Militärgarten, Pallino, Roadhouse or also at Pickwicks and some other bars like Anfield Pub or Tschuppi's. So mainly near the train station or around the stadium. On European games, the police tries to separate the fans and won't let Luzern ultras drink at Pickwicks. They have the approach to dedicate the old town part to the away fans and the "new town" part to Luzern supporters. Generally, every Scottish fan should be fine at any of the named bars or areas above, whether it is on Wednesday or or matchday. As long as there aren't big provocations, everything should be fine. St. Johnstone was similar 9 years ago. Very friendly atmosphere. We even were joined by the Scottish team for a few pints at Roadhouse after the game. :greengrin
On the contrary, the Swedes of Djurgardens came to town with a big mob of ultras and hools, also attacked Luzern fans in Stockholm itself and in the town of Luzern, so the whole game was held in a more hostile atmosphere. I did not see any of this with the Hibs game, so don't expect it to be unfriendly.

We have a group of young idiots who if they travel might just try this. More out of naivety on their part as most of them wont have been to European away game before and they will learn the hard way very quickly if they try to act like muppets.

Our fans as a whole wont be looking for trouble though, just some beers and a good time. :thumbsup:

So heading to the bars/tents around the stadium about an hour or so before kick off wouldn't be a schoolboy error?

As much as I can speak the lingo and can explain myself etc, I'd rather not 😅

No, no schoolboy error. Just yesterday, there were plenty of YB-fans right in front of the stadium or at the restaurant Schützenhaus. No problem at all in Luzern (if you act like a normal human being as I guess everyone will).
If anyone has got tickets in section C1-5, you have to enter the stadium right next to the 'Kop' without any separation anyway. I never saw this causing trouble.
If you don't want this, buy a ticket in D1-3 or in the away stand.

The official away section is sold out and there was about 12 tickets left of the additional 200 we got on Friday, the away section looks like the views may be hindered by the high fences, thats something we are not used to in Scotland anymore. Very much a European thing that.

I know that. The cage is not very popular in Switzerland, too. Anyway, D2 provides great view.

If we happen to get through to play Villa noticed that bbc website has us playing them at home first on the Wednesday not the usual Thursday

Yes, it’s the solution to us possibly being at home at the same time as Two Manager Bus Stop Club.

£30 for us then

Don’t say that on here, £30 will anger a few

[Trinity Hibee]

Think virtually everyone will be happy to pay £30 to see a top premiership team in a European game to be honest

[Steven79]

Aston Villa are bottom of the league.

Has it been mentioned anywhere else as the solution?
I've only heard of the possibility of switching the ties.

[007]

Or Luzern. 🤔

[McD]

Has it been mentioned anywhere else as the solution?I've only heard of the possibility of switching the ties.Been confirmed by Ben Kensell that the ties won’t be switched

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Been confirmed by Ben Kensell that the ties won’t be switched

Where have you seen that?
Wednesday would certainly suit me.

[CapitalGreen]

Confirmed they won’t be switched as in reversed, not that the home leg won’t be played on a different day of the week. Hibs and Hearts won’t both play at home on the same night.

[SHODAN]

Wednesday is fine.

[McD]

Where have you seen that?Wednesday would certainly suit me.Someone one here had emailed him and shared ben’s response. UEFA had confirmed that the home/away ties wouldn’t be swapped around, and contingencies were being explored should Hibs and Hearts both get through. The expectation is that we’d be moved to the Wednesday, because Hearts finished above us so we would be the ones to be moved

That is all the info.Not sure which thread tbh, as Flash has said, that was pretty much all there was. Need to see what happens on Thursday evening before anything else I’d imagine

Interesting.

I see the Aberdeen game now confirmed as moved to the Sunday

[the_ginger_hibee]

Aberdeen are in Europe playing Thursday anyway so I guess this doesn't mean much with regards to our game.

This could be a positive. Sad but true
