Don’t forget Killie ST will get to watch the game via the reciprocal agreement between the clubs. Only Non ST of either club won’t have the option this time.

Imagine paying 20quid for a stream and it doesn't work.
I will give it a go though.
I'm a Season Ticket holder and I honestly wouldn't mind if Hibs sold PPV tickets at £10 or £15.
These are strange times we're living in and I, in common with thousands of other Hibbies, bought Season Tickets to support my club through difficult times... in the full knowledge that I wouldn't be getting the full value of what I'd paid for.
I realise some people will whinge about it, but they would probably find something else to whinge about anyway, so best ignored (IMO).
Dundee Utd doing it for £12.50 a pop as well.

Poor from Hibs that Killie fans wont be able to watch their team on Saturday. We've made a mistake here.
I'm comfortable enough with that decision from Hibs. The marketing has been built on having hibs TV access as part of the ST until we can return.
From the way it's been worded, it seems like Hibs' PPV offering will be less than the cost of a season ticket (in line with the others who have said they'll charge around £12 per game). If that's the case then by not offering PPV until October, they'll be expecting/hoping that fans may be allowed into games around then and therefore not devaluing the cost of a season ticket too much if they don't need to offer the PPV option for many matches.
It sucks for Kilmarnock fans but that's my take on it.
I would rather the club put all their efforts and resources into making sure the stream works for the 10'500 season ticket holders who have forked out a significant sum of money than trying to also accommodate a few hundred kilmarnock fans.
How much are Hearts changing?
No PPV for the Killie game, IMO, is Hibs not wanting to increase the risk of things going wrong for the first run.
Knowing we’ll be able to get streams for away games not on Sky is positive though.
Seems a bit silly not to have the game on ppv this week. I can get it on the iptv, but I’d have paid for the game if I could have. I’m still hoping to get a season ticket or maybe a half season ticket, but it isn’t dependent on being able to watch the games on hibs tv.
I get the feeling there's a decent chance of the streaming option this Saturday not working well and being temperamental for some. With that in mind I think this is a decision by Hibs to make sure that they can't be blamed of opening the door to too many to make as much money as possible whilst not providing a good service.
Think of the uproar on here when the stream goes down, "it's all these Kili fans and part time Hibs fans ruining the stream for us ST holders" etc...
Good decision by Hibs and I'm all for them retaining the value of the ST as well.
Personally think its a poor decision to not offer PPV from the get go and just get every club going on PPV especially for away fans, if they want to make it 20 quid a game then do it imo.
I would be happy to pay £20 to watch a game.
Let’s just make sure the stream works for the season ticket holders before attempting to overload it.[emoji106]

I hope this is the reason, and if it is then fair enough it makes a lot of sense actually. But I don't really agree with them needing to retain the value of the ST. Would rather the club just took in as much money as it could while letting as many Hibs fans (and away fans) the chance to watch their team.
Who gets the money for away games - home team or away team?
You'd have thought there would be a test stream for this?
To be honest as a ST holder I think it's a really poor decision, and actually it's a shame for Kilmarnock fans they won't get to see their team get skelped this weekend and it's also a shame that our walk-up fans who can't afford a ST will miss out. You can protect the value of a ST by charging regular walk up prices, some will be happy to pay others won't bother but at least gives those fans the option and extra revenue for the club. The club should have run a test stream for ST holders only and if that went to plan they could have opened up PPV for the weekends game. Can't help but get the feeling Hibs are slightly under-prepared here.

I'd pay Hibs £20 direct to watch Hibs games steamed into my livingroom in Manchester.
I can't buy a season so I can't get up to Edinburgh often enough to justify it but I would by a virtual season such as NFL game pass. Even when it goes back to normal. I'd bin sky sports to give Hibs the money to just see Hibs in that manner.
I should add I'm not bothered about radio Comms. I want high quality Hibs streams. All clubs should be able to sell their own fans their own games.
