Another slight on pensioners.Quote:

I had hoped that after complaining about the cost of the semi, the prices for the final would be fairer to pensioners.
I have always assumed that the elderly paid concession prices ?
Whilst I sympathise with your position where do we draw the line, discounts for unemployed, full time students, families on low incomes? Let's just delight in the fact that we're in another cup final which has been priced, in my view, sensibly. There are as many working families as cash strapped as pensioners!Quote:

Great value for a cup final.
It's hibs sole decision on what they charge for season tickets, the pricing at a cup final is not under our total control, these will have to have been negotiated. It'll be based on supply/demand, will pensioners be willing to miss out on a cup final for the sake of a tenner, they obviously don't think so.Quote:

Its 25 pounds though not a tenner unless I am missing the obvious.Quote:

What are the chances of the top bracket(purely cause it's my bracket) getting 2/3 tickets in the first wave of sales
does anyone know when they will announce when and how they will be sold? I want to be sure I can get a ticket before booking travel etc
I have the grand total of 10 loyalty points, so I'm one rung up the ladder before a general sale! I know everyone is saying anyone on the datatbase should get one but I'd like to be sure before forking out on the train!
cheers
I reckon, even with initial allocation, that anyone with enough points for half season ticket or above should get 2 tickets, then general sale.
With so many tickets coming our way, there must be a chance of something like that. Everyone who wants one should get a ticket; the Hibs support will be enormous.Quote:

IMO I would only have two "waves", season ticket holders and then general sale.Quote:

What ever the allocation I don't think there will be a panic over getting a ticket
There's only 20,000 on the database. You'll get a ticket before general sale.Quote:

Must be a mistake surely. Cant imagine OAP's arent able to get a concession rate.Quote:
