Pretty sure we’ll get more.
Notice you can apply individually or as part of a group. So if your part of a group is it a case of everyone or nobody getting a ticket?
It’s a minimum of 4,700Quote:

When Edinburgh council let us know our final total allowed, probably around Thursday lunch time, more will likely go on sale.
Read before you start shooting. We are doing what we did for the last round except we are initially selling 4700 instead of 2000Quote:

I’ll keep my pitch fork on the burner then, for nowQuote:

Aye thought they might’ve kept it the same as the previous round to be honest but is what it is. As long as it’s worth the extra £3Quote:

The article doesn’t make it clear when you can purchase tickets.
Is it straight away OR after the ballot closes on Monday? I’m assuming the latter?
Also will the ballot ‘winners’ have their seats, pre-allocated or will they be able to purchase their own ST seats? Again not clear.
Have noticed this in recent comms from the club. Not all possibilities are covered up front. That would greatly assist old foggies like me who like detail!!
That’s not the allocation.Quote:

They might not but I think they will.
It does say that the appropriate priced ticket should be pulled through based on your ST purchase category. In a roundabout sort of way, that maybe answers my query about when balloted tickets will actually be on sale - i.e. - after ballot closes on Monday.Quote:

Every question asked so far (apart from "do you not read?") is answered in the document.
You will be charged the correct price if successful. It is in black and white.
Have you read the article. That will change to a kids price if you get through.Quote:

Prices pulled through - incorrect x - I have 1 full adult ST and 1 senior concession ST.
Price showings 2 x £23 (£46), instead of total that should be £37.
Hope it sorts itself once ballot is finalised on Monday.

I see everywhere is the same - fans arguing against ticket prices.:wink:
Reading this, I presume no tickets will be available in free sale?
As others have pointed out, it's all there, clear as day. No justification for more complaints.Quote:

Apologies if you can't read - but that's what it says on the web page.
It depends how many we get bud. The local authority (council) here aren't the quickest at decision making. There will probably be more allowed than the initial 4700. We find out on Monday. We have over 10000 season ticket holders so if the allowed crowd is less than that it's possible it won't go to a public sale. Just depends on how many season ticket holders take up as not all 10000 are likely to want to attend.Quote:

This is obviously a huge game though so I think lots of people who maybe couldn’t be arsed might get a bit more excited for it if we get allowed to get a good number of tickets.
Hibs announce at 3pm that a ballot will go live at 4pm. Lots of people saying they can`t get a ticket at 15:05 lolQuote:

My bad for being a bloody stickler for detail.
Anyhow, I’m prepared to take “my punishment “.
I’ve been sent upstairs to my room. No tea. No TV.
That’ll teach me eh?
Probably stating the obvious here but I got the ineligible message first time I went in - but I hadn't logged in at that point. After logging in everything was fine. I'm assuming you are logged in though?Quote:

That round went to a general sale meaning not all season ticket holders bought tickets.
I`m rather interested to see where I`ll be sitting should I be successful. I just know it won`t be my normal seat in the FFU
Because more people will want to see this game.Quote:

What possibility isn't covered?
As simple as that?? Not having a go at you but after over a year of not seeing the team play, you would have thought fans would have been chomping at the bit to get back to ERQuote:

I don't understand why Edinburgh Council couldn't have told Hibs the permitted number by now when Glasgow Council's managed to tell Rangers in plenty of time.
They weren't really for the last two games at ER. They could also be wanting to test out the ballot process ahead of the league kicking off as it will have to come into play if we're still not back to full capacity - for whatever reason.Quote:

So if I’m reading this correctly you go into a ballot with no idea what part of the ground you will be allocated a ticket for if you are successful. The price of a ticket will be the same regardless of where you sit, yet if you have bought a season ticket you were charged more depending on where your seat is……I’m assuming the same principles will apply for league games, unless Hibs plan on allocating you a seat which ties in with the category of season ticket you have purchased.
I think you've read it correctly. Who knows what principles will apply for league games? Is it really that big a hardship?Quote:

Who is making these decisions over the capacity? Is it the regional councils?
It's an absolute joke, at a minimum all seasons ticket holders should be there.
What century are you living in? 😉Quote:

On the other side we do not like to play against UK teams mainly because of style of play. And we do not anything about Hibernian. So, I presume everything is possible. Also, selection of judge will be of importance, judge who will let harder style of play will be in Your favour for sure.
So far we played two league games (Gorica 2-0, Istra 2-0) at home and two against Gzira United (2-0, 1-0). On Sunday we are playing against Dinamo Zagreb away so it will be the real test. We have really bad tradition on that stadium, we have been massacred more than once there. So, actually result there perhaps will not be exact fact of our quality but however we believe that we can play good game against them, especially because they will rest some players due to incoming CL qualification game against Legia on Wednesday.
Do You have a stream for Your Sunday game? We would love to see how good (or bad) are You.
This Hibs team are not a physical side. That's a bit of a myth these days that all Scottish teams are very robust in style.Quote:

Agree with that last bit. You can bet Rijeka will just be more streetwise than us, know how and when to do it in a way that draws less attention from the referee.Quote:

I rate Hibs chances here as 40-60, purely as Rijeka are fairly seasoned Euro campaigners and generally very good at home. Our win there broke a long unbeaten Euro home run.Quote:

As for the current comparison - Hibs deserved to finish above us last season, certainly on our showing from mid November onwards - the manager who had served us well (including during both the Rijeka ties) left his position after 8 years.
This season we are being promised all the open expansive stuff - and we've seen the good and bad of it in both European matches vs the Swedish side BK Häcken. Hibs' manager is probably more of a pragmatist now - but I think in this league you need a bit of that.
Look forward to watching this tie if it doesn't clash with the timing of our game in Iceland.
Wondering why Rijeka fan thinks Scottish football is a very physical game, then I realised they've played Aberdeen twice ... it all makes sense now [emoji23]
Correct....Aberdeen Rugby Club, dirty dirty bstards.Quote:

However, aggregate 5-2 for Aberdeen was not realistic one. On the other hand, in second clash You did not stand a chance. Despite a fact that we had a much weaker team, obviously You did also.
Well, if You were here, You can confirm that You had a good time as fans on both occassions.
