I will say that I think fans of all clubs have more than stepped up at this time and as such the vast majority aren’t looking for value for money from their season ticket. I hope Hibs don’t charge anything like the £25 needed for value for money. £10 - £15 is fair IMO, I say that as a season ticket holder.

They decide the prices, you pay or you dinnae. If you don’t and many others don’t they will regret it. They get 2,000 Hibees (probably more tbh) paying £20 a pop they make £40,000 and that’s a significant amount for a club like Livi.

It's an interesting debate.i renewed because Hibs needed the money. The way things have worked out though, I'll be a bit pissed off if PPV is less than £23 or so at Easter Road, even though it wasn't my original motivation for renewing, times have changed, and that's where I am now

Likewise. Would be a bit of a kick in the stones if a non STH got all hibs games for less than a STH. Wasn’t the original decision maker for me as I’d have renewed regardless of scenario, but not it’s done it wouldn’t be right. Good on Livi for also looking after their STH.

£10 - £15 will get a lot more buys, people will watch at home. £23 they'll watch at a mate's gaff or at the pub.

Do we just go through the Livi website to purchase?

Aye, to make it an authentic match day experience you need to wait in a queue for 45 minutes!!

It shouldn't be on at the pub, and when Sky slap some fines on pubs, that'll quickly stop. I don't think £8 or so difference would put people off buying it. I think it should cost the same as a match ticket, given that's what STs have paid for the coverage. As others have pointed out, it represents quite a saving when compared to taking the whole family to the game. Also, you are in control of the temperature of your HT pie, which has to be a bonus!!

I just hope if Hibs do indeed make it a consistent price with the ST, people don't use it as the standard stick to beat the club with

4 or 5 Fans getting together with a carry oot
In da house watching the game is IMHO a very good deal, and it would be advantageous for the fans in the far corners to watch the games who would not normally see the games.

Yes, it would appear that purchasing PPV for the Livvy game will be through their website. They put out a Tweet yesterday to say they would give further details later in the week.

I'm not paying £20 to watch the game on the TV.

It wouldn't be so bad if there was a group of us and we shared the cost but that's way too expensive.

Their website appears to be struggling. I'm getting connection timeout.

Clubs need to survive somehow. Livi and most others don't have 10k plus season tickets to live off so they need away fans paying walk up prices.

As an away fan there are limits to how much I'd pay to get into the stadium and there's a limit to how much I'd pay them to watch a game on TV.

I happily paid Hibs for Season Tickets I'm not going to fully use... but that's because I'm a Hibs Fan. I've no great desire to pay over the odds to help out Livi or any other club.

I think £20 is fair enough - as has been said before, if there are 3-4 folk watching together it's perfectly reasonable.

However, there's no way I'd pay £20 to watch it on the tv on my own.

Are international HTV subscribers getting video for this?

Exactly!

They can spend less on wages for once as they have previous for massively overspending...

They are very well ran and don’t overspend on wages at all.

So did we once upon a time. I follow hibs away from home for that reason, to follow and support Hibs. Never really crosses my mind who my money goes to. I’ll pay the PPV to watch hibs, however at times like this I’m more than happy to know that my money will help contribute to the recovery of Scottish football.
