FAO Fans Rep RE Ticketing (Villa Away)

Hi Kieran, there are rumours and information circulating on social media just now regarding Block 7 being allocated tickets for Aston Villa away even though the ST holders sale does not begin until tomorrow.

As fans liaison officer, can you please confirm if Block 7 have been allocated/had tickets put aside for them for this game? If so, what section and how many have they been allocated?

We've already seen a post on social media today, which has since been deleted saying that someone has been sorted out with a ticket through Block 7. The club stated at the Hibs First Membership launch night that they would not be given any sort of priority for away games and yet it seems they may have had tickets put aside for them.

If they are all members of Hibs First then thats brilliant, good stuff, I'll happily delete the thread and everyone can relax safe in the knowledge they are members, but if they are not all members of Hibs First and they have had tickets put aside then the club are going against the very ticketing system they put in place in the first place.

I'm sure I speak for many posters on here when I say this - I'm all for atmosphere at games and they do contribute to it very well but that shouldn't make them entitled to tickets or preferential treatment ahead of any other ST holder not in Hibs First.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Bump.

Bump

The bloke might have a life/job outside this messageboard TBF (realising in saying this I've bumped this thread 😂)

Maybe just try emailing KP? He can’t be monitoring fan forums 24/7.

It’s a tough gig to be fair as there’s some amount of absolute throbbers to deal with.

I’m in favour of giving the young blades an allocation of 40 or 50 briefs. Much rather have them backing the team than many modern day football fan, offering little vocal encouragement and/or holding their phones in the air for a large part of the game.

If that upsets people then I’m sorry I don’t post more often.

Best wishes x

Outside of Hibs first there is no reason for any group to be given more priority over every other ST holder. End of.

One thing you don’t see in Scottish football is people recording on their phones. Think you’re getting confused with the EPL.

Big away games are generally fine without an organised section. Certainly wasn’t needed in Switzerland. Can’t say I’ve witnessed anyone holding their phones in the air for large parts of the game either.

It won’t take much time out of the day to relay a simple yes or no to be fair. Would also be helpful to clarify exactly how many tickets are available for purchase tomorrow. Not the allocation - what’s left after HF and comps or any others put aside.

Sorry mate, absolutely not. Unless they are all Hibs First members then they are no more deserving of tickets ahead of any other ST holder in tomorrows scramble, or any other high profile game.

Your holding the phone comment is nonsense by the way, thats tourists in England you're getting mixed up with.

Personally think those that aren’t “young blades” who are going to go to this sort of game are the type of fan who will generate atmosphere anyway…

Wait, we are giving Sheffield United fans an allocation before Hibs ST holders now and people are ok with it?

No supporters group, including Block 7, receive priority tickets unless they’re a member of Hibs First ✅

I’m back working with schools during the working week, best bet is to drop me a message or email and I’ll get back as quickly as possible - [email protected]

Looks like the thread can be deleted then as per the original post.

No more need for any drama regarding tickets (which some posters will be gutted about as they spend half their life talking about ticket allocations).

More than likely hospitality holders at ER.

Pretty much every hospitality holder at any club will be given ticket priority for big games, as a reward for the financial support they give the club. Like Hibs First, but obviously on grander scale.

Hospitality guys? I assume if your paying 20k a year for example then you’ll get any tickets you want.

I think the question had to be asked so I don't think it was pathetic in the slightest.

It’s only had to be asked because people including HC have been all over .Net tickets threads and other social media spreading rumours saying that B7 were getting special treatment.

On one hand they these people are complaining that B7 are intimidating people from their designated seats while simultaneously saying that B7 are being given special treatment by being allocated seats all together.

And what about the shambles of tickets going on general sale on Friday before season ticket sales opened?

Nothing to do with it.

The question was are Block 7 getting preferential treatment when it comes to ticket allocation.
