Hibs really do need to clarify if Block 7 are getting tickets reserved.
It’s a simple yes or no.
If the group are members of Hibs First then everything is above board and getting allocated a particular section of away end is fine. If they are simply ST holders, but getting priority over others then it’s 100% not on.
Every ST holder outwith the HF membership deserves an equal chance to buy for what is arguably our biggest away game in a lifetime for many.
I think the silence probably tells it own storyQuote:

The only priority members over and above STH is Hibs First. Ergo, they must be assigned tickets after Hibs First.
Ah, but do you bring a drum?Quote:

Shame the club couldn't just organise a standard loyalty points system, like virtually every other club - rather than trying to fleece as much cash as possible ala hibs first tory scheme
Also a total nonsense if these young boys are getting priority ahead of fans who've followed the team for decades
Maybe we all need to start chucking missiles on to the park and bullying other Hibbies out of their seats if we want priority tickets.
The club had a loyalty programme a number of years ago, but people complained about it and the club done away with it.Quote:

Honestly, no matter what the club does, they're lambasted for it
IIRC, the club were only lambasted previously when they changed the goalposts and allowed folk to throw in £££ to gain X number of loyalty pointsQuote:

The loyalty points could've been used for both the tie at ER, and the away leg - resulting in a fairer distribution of tickets for all
As it stands, I personally know of 6 people (who were not in Switzerland) who have secured a ticket for Villa Park simply by paying the £50 in the summer. There will likely be hundreds of folk who were in Lucerne who will miss out next week - fair?
People complained about it because the club messed it up and started awarding points for stuff rather than attendance.Quote:

It would be nice if the fans rep could represent the majority of fans on this one, and not be a mouthpiece for the club instead.
Maybe the loyalty scheme we had before wasn’t a good one and that’s why people complained?Quote:

Fair play to everyone who did, I certainly wish I did it so I don’t say that with any bitterness, I just don’t think Hibs first necessarily rewards loyalty, it’s a different thing altogether.
I stand to potentially benefit from there being no loyalty scheme as I wouldn’t have as many points as others so it’s a good thing for me but I struggle to understand how so many other similar size and bigger clubs can have a loyalty scheme but Hibs can’t?
There never seems to be a way that people stop moaning about.Quote:

ST holders that attended 2/4 European games previous this season
ST holders that attended 1/4 European games previous this season
All remaining ST holders
General Sale :greengrin
Maybe that's over complicated or a load of old pony, but, it makes sense to me and for reference I'd be in the 4th sale down so even less chance than I have now as I haven't been to an away leg (yet) this season but I do think those who went to both Andorra & Switzerland should be recognised for that.
The club deserve to be lambasted for giving them priority tickets if it is the case. Why should they get them?Quote:

A Loyalty Point system would have ensured the vast majority of the regular attendees would get tickets. Block 7 included.
There’s a poster on Facebook (Carl Macar) saying that he got his ticket for the home and the away game via Block 7. Make of that what you will

Maybe I’ll no bother joining the AST scheme next year and save £50. I’ll just join block 7 instead and get ( potentially and not confirmed yet ) tickets for away games allocated to me through this avenue instead.

Wonder how many the HSA branches got too - the ones that run regular buses get an allocation for every away match.
Sorted. Thanks for the info:not worthQuote:

There was a guy on another thread saying they got 3 tickets for the home game through Block 7 and that only one of the three were season ticket holders.Quote:
