Aberdeen away

[21sMay]

Going up on Saturday and was wondering if anyone knows any pubs that are aren't too far from the ground that I can get the kids into . Thanks in advance

[Hermit Crab]

You're toiling for any pubs near the ground that will let kids in, there is the golf club near the ground but it could be home fans only.

Plenty of eating places at the shore that you’ll get a drink as well
Pizza Hut etc

Thanks mate . Will look into it

[Mr Grieves]

The last time I was up we booked into lane 7 to play pool/table tennis and have a few beers. Kid friendly and around a 20 minute walk to the the stadium.

I just assumed they were digital for some reason. I take it there won't be an option to buy in Aberdeen?

It's ok, just being lazy. Will drive in and get them. Going to a funeral up there on Thursday first.

[Carheenlea]

Should be better sight lines now the fence is gone.

[Green-Hibee-7]

What’s the actual capacity now of that away end?

Been getting alright crowds up there for the past few years. I actually think the 2-0 up there last time was one of our lower crowds in recent times.

About 1200.

[Green-Hibee-7]

About 1200.

Cheers. If c900 are sold, an extra 100 or so on top of that this week would see it reasonably filled. Not a bad effort all things considered.

Why are digital tickets not available (again) when they have the facility to accommodate them?

Aberdeen have provided paper tickets for all seats available in the away end (all sections - Q, R and P) for Hibs to fully manage the sale process.

Kieran I think some of us would be Interested to know how this benefits hibs? Especially as it creates so much hassle for people like myself who won't know until last minute if I can go (end up there 9 times out of 10) and don't stay in Edinburgh

[Chorley Hibee]

Aberdeen have provided paper tickets for all seats available in the away end (all sections - Q, R and P) for Hibs to fully manage the sale process.

But why do Hibs need to manage the process when digital tickets could just be made available, as they are for home supporters.

It's happening at nearly every away game.

It's completely unnecessary and is impacting upon people who don't live in Edinburgh, or have to make a late decision, attending.

Last time, I drove up to Aberdeen without a ticket and got one from their ticket office without any problem.

Every team handles their away ticket operations differently and that’s at their own prerogative as the home team (some teams completely differently in one season from one to the next - see Kilmarnock this season).

Not many run a hybrid of paper and online, some only do online, others don’t do sales on matchday. Appreciate the lack of consistency across the league won’t help supporters that choose to attend on the day. We help as much as we can in this space when no Matchday sales by taking purchased tickets through our office to the away ground or asking home teams to consider reprints at their ground for pick up.

I've heard from at least two clubs this season, that Hibs refused the option of digital tickets?

Is this true and, if so, why?

Was told that at rugby park by their ticket office staff the other week when I was buying tickets on the day

[Hibee Mac]

Digital tickets are a fan convenience thing that should simply be mandated by the SFA or SPFL.

Force the hand of the clubs otherwise they'll just take the easy option. It's 2024 this sort of stuff should have been standardised years ago.

Not to mention it allows ticket sales right off to KO.

Something surely the clubs would want. The fans certainly do.

Kilmarnock is one of the two clubs who told me this. St Mirren was the other.

I'd love to know why Hibs are actively making it more difficult for their fans to attend games?

It also makes further mockery of our supposed green credentials (asking for paper tickets and forcing some fans to drive through to Edinburgh to collect tickets).

[Power]

Thanks for flagging that. Both clubs have offered online tickets in the past. Online and digital tickets is always welcome by us because of supporter convenience and it supports our ticketing team with a reduced workload not facilitating the sales.

Kilmarnock I was aware of - see above - in our September fixture they offered paper tickets and online option towards end of sales (details https://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/article/supporter-information-kilmarnock-a-1) and for our recent fixture they decided for a paper only approach based on last fixture sales.

For St.Mirren, they struggled with admitting the Hibs support with digital tickets last season through the 4 turnstiles (supporters getting in well after KO) and now only offer digital tickets for smaller supports.

By way of comparison, both clubs don’t offer online tickets for Hearts either.

Where clubs do select paper based sales - facilitated by us (either to support their own operation or because of the match category) we do offer different postal options for those that can’t get to Easter Road to collect and I’ll help where possible on uncollected tickets and reprint requests at home club.

[1van Sprou7e]

That’s bizarre reasoning from St Mirren, surely the decision should be to open more turnstiles?

Very weird.

Does anybody know if there's any kind of PPV for those of us who can't make it up there?

[Tambo]

They seemed to be much better than Vs bonnyrigg going off the stats only, how did they play last night?

Aberdeen could have Junior Hoilett in their squad for the weekend according to reports.

Both them and Motherwell looked terrible at the back

Definitely goals to be had. Just need to mark miovski out the game. He only needs one chance

[Forza Fred]

Looking at the league table..there is literally nothing between the two sides!

P/W/D/L/For/Against/GD/Pts


All exactly the same for both sides.

Not unusual early in the season, but a bit quirky at this stage.

Don't think clubs are allowed to do PPV for Saturday 3pm kick-offs.

On KP’s earlier update (on first page) he advised that sales would continue up to 4pm this afternoon.

If we have an allocation of 1200 then maybe they have sold out? Sure the club would have announced this if that was the case. Maybe a call to ticket office would be advised.

Me and my 14 yr old son looking at our travel options, we’re from Orkney staying in Newhaven so a slightly different plan, do have the car but would be fine to get a bus if there was an option.
Thanks in advance

Along the promenade is usually fine as well but there was one occasion a barrier was put in place post match which was a real nuisance for fans parked along that way. Wasn’t there last time round thankfully.

The secret to getting parked at Pittodrie is basically get there early.

Before this windows I can't remeber the last timne we had a sqaud with enough depth to make subs that could change things outside of bringing on fresh legs. Competition for places also breeds better performances and improved consistency. Going to be a tough game but wer need to start winning league games soon and there's no reason it can't be today. Mon the Hibs!

[CraigHibee]

Quietly confident of a good win today

[hibee-boys]

A very important game for Monty, some goodwill after the Celtic and Inverness game but the games against teams around us in the league are the actual true tests. Jury out for me until I see us deliver a performance against teams like Aberdeen.
