So our allocation has been cut. Doncaster has stated we will get more if we sell out. So let’s do it and do it fast. I often see gigs and events supposedly selling in less than 30mins. If we can do likewise, it makes a mockery of the decision…if we don’t (despite the sporting integrity stuff), it simply plays into the leagues narrative and decision making.
Ron asked on the Strong Opinion Hibs pod for fans to attend; let’s give him his wish. He has pony upped for us. Let’s do the same for him.
Doncaster hasn't said how many more, it will probably be a couple of hundred.Quote:

They can't have 2 per season ticket holder as the allocation is not big enough for everyone to get two?Quote:

That is impossible due to our ST numbers.Quote:

Would they guarantee x1 per ST holder then have a ballot if ST holders wanted x2 tickets ?
Plus not every ST holder would want x2 tickets.
Meaning some who went sunday may miss out? One per season ticket and then a public sale is the fair wayQuote:

Season ticket x 1 then public sale/ballot is only way to do this.
Unfortunately so many regular attendees (this season and historic) are going to miss out.
It's an absolute disgrace
Edit: maybe you could do those who have bought a ticket to ER this season first?? (I have a season ticket btw)
It’s two per season ticket

One per season ticket holder, then one per non season ticket holder who attended on Sunday. Any left then public sale.Quote:

While I wont disagree with your confidence in this announcement, just how does that arithmetic add up?
I don’t know the ins and outs of the thinking behind the decision, I just know it’ll be two per STQuote:

Not every ST will take a ticket, and not all of those that do will take 2 tickets. I think we'd be safe enough promising each ST holder 2 tickets but I still think it'll be 1 per ST holder.Quote:

But if 7,000 take up two tickets, that leaves 3,500 tickets for 4,000 season ticket holders.Quote:

If it is two per season ticket this is a major balls up on commercial dept of the club.
1 per current season ticket then anyone buying a Half Season ticket should then be eligible for a ticket.
Sell as many ST as possible.
I’ll personally be very happy with that. But it makes no sense at all and I will fully understand the rage that will follow.
What if you dont get a ticket because another ST holder has bought two?Quote:

I think they would be ok numbers wise in terms of all STs getting a ticket but certainly cutting it a bit fine. It would put the walk up who doesn’t know any ST holders in a terrible position. Maybe the club will market it as some sort of thank you for buying an ST last season without seeing a game.
Either way if it’s true it seems an unnecessary gamble and will be leaving a lot of supporters peed off and other ST holders needlessly worried until they have their ticket secured.

Can you see the problem?
