Hibs need a formal system for releasing unused season tickets

This is where this discussion started.

Yes how long can the club ask for unused ST to be returned? No one knows because they haven’t tried it yet... their recent mention of the process on social media was the first I have seen publicly tried and it was more of a pop than with an attention catching bang if you get what I mean.

The one aspect of this discussion that seems to divide people is the incentive-to-make-folk-aware approach.

Until the club have tried and failed to make it public knowledge and shoved it down our throats that we can return unused STs I am not for trying the incentive based approach.

As for maximising profits, the tickets can be resold to any level of buyer be it Adult, Child or Concession... my only wish is that if the ticket is resold, HIbs keep 100% of the resale.

I am in not correct in saying that if we can create a system where ST holder return their ticket for no reward and Hibs make 100% resale then this is the best solution.

It just seems to me that some folk are not willing to try and spread the word and make fans aware of the process without an added incentive.

Full marks on three fronts:
- Flogging the arse out of this thread with a truly vast number of words typed
- Relentless commitment to supercilious responses to reasonable posts
- Bringing exceptional levels of complexity to arguments around a really straightforward subject

So to summarise, if Hibs do a better job of publicising the returns process they'll probably be able to resell more tickets without an incentive scheme. And if there are still lots of empty seats at sold out games after doing that then considering an incentive scheme is worth doing if it generates, net, more income for Hibs because volume increase offsets cost of incentive.

Is that about the size of it?

Do you need me to explain in context???

Here’s a hint... read the rest of the post and you will understand the point.

I read the whole post and whatever context you try to put that daft statement into it still sounds daft. Here's a hint for you, stop trying to belittle everyone elses opinion and accept that not everyone agrees with you.

Ah well, why didn't you just say that😁

I'll go along with that as a reasonable suggestion.

Those who know me well, know I am terrible at summarising! 😂

But that’s the long and short of it.
