Who cares what they think?

Its obvious from what we are doing and Aberdeens statement that there are doubts about this service workign properly from the off.

Frankly, as a ST holder, I want it to work for me first, then non ST Hibs fans.

Away fans are a distant third in my list of who I give a ***** about, especially as loads of them will be on IPTV watching Hibs tv for £0.00 anyway.

I dont think that the PPV will make many clubs much cash (outside Rangers/Celtic and matches involving them).

Wont be till October for hibs anyway says the bbc so hopefully fans will be able to attend games by then.

Maybe I’m just tight fisted, but £20 is overpriced for Scottish football when we are able to attend IMO. £20 for a steam, Livi should be wearing a mask!

Far too much. Fully understand clubs protecting ST value.......which is why the likes of us and Rangers / Celtic will struggle with pricing.

I don't think there is really a fair solution anywhere on pricing PPV.

Never mind the Killie fans. Shame for the Hibs fans that might not see it as a result!

Livingston even show the price of each season ticket category in price per game format on their website. Their most expensive season ticket is £325, which is £17.11 per game. I get that clubs are desperate for every penny in these times but it looks to me like they they’ve decided to milk Scottish football fans for as much as they can.

In fact scrap this bit, as Celtic and Rangers are basically on Sky every away match, PPV wont make much from their fans either !!!

The value of a season ticket needs to be upheld in some way surely? If there’s people willing to stump up for season tickets in these times then they need the same value they’d get buying at any other time, there reward this year is a saving of £3 per stream

st.mirren have got it right at £12.50 ,very fair imo

P.S. and motherwell,killie and dundee utd...as for the rest...gits

It's beginning to seem that way isn't it? No log-in details sent to season ticket holders yet, no test event, less than 5 days until kick off.

That would mean Hibs would need to charge more than £23 per game ppv to give value to our most expensive season ticket.

Yeah?

Should the 10k people stumping up for a ST now have to pay more than a walk up? Has to be a benefit to these people handing over that amount of cash with no ideas when or if they’ll see a game this year.

How do hibs win in all this? There getting crucified for not making all games PPV and they’ll get crucified if they charge £23 a stream, I think now it’s selected games you’ll maybe see a ppv price of £12-16 and the benefit of buying a ST is access to every home game

I'm with Keith on this, I bought my season ticket to support the club during these terrible times. If they choose to charge a tenner for PPV I have no issues at all with that. Livingston are having a laugh IMO, no way is watching a stream worth £20 and I certainly wouldn't pay it.

That's just picking and choosing something that suits the argument though isn't it? [emoji23]

Take the average season ticket price which the majority have bought and it will be nearer £20 a pop.

It's also not the end of the world if season tickets don't get you any "better price" than PPV as you get added benefits from season tickets including being first back in the door at Easter road if and when possible.

Point is if you go really cheap for PPV, say £12 a game, then the added value for being "first back in the door" for ST holders starts to look less worth it, considering we might only make it back for 10 games if we're lucky probably.

I think the club are going about this fine and managing to please most people, I bet after the first 5 games we end up making all following games PPV £15 or so then everyone's happy.

£23 is the break even price, Hibs would need to charge £25/£26 to give season ticket holders value for their season ticket. There’s no easy solution. I’m lucky enough to be in a position to have helped Hibs with a season ticket but I think Hibs need to price it fairly and hope that season ticket holders accept that a season ticket this season is a show of support rather than looking for value.

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).

I agree mate.

Season tickets are still available for those wanting to see the game at the weekend

Not everyone can afford season tickets

I’m backing the club on this. They spent all summer telling fans the only way to see every Hibs home game was to buy a season ticket and they have delivered on that promise.
Those season tickets sales were crucial in allowing the club to make the 3 signings we did and allowing the club to survive.

To be honest it's actually baffling there hasn't been a test event. Especially with 10.5k season ticket holders which is by far and large the 3rd biggest amount in the Prem. Rangers had a test stream. Celtic had a test stream (albeit they aren't using StreamDigital).

Yep, that’s fair but if we can also make a bit of additional cash once the TV games are out the way that would make sense too.

The Club first of all is looking having the ones who can support the club in this pandemic, nothing wrong with that is there? Sure we can all arrange on that??

Hibs also covering there backs incase this goes wrong which it’s hibs we ain’t the best at Technology we can’t even sell derby tickets well enough..

If all goes to plan on Saturday am sure the club will revisit the whole
Away fans watching plus non season ticket fans but am sure we are on Sky most of August so buy that for a month 9.99

GGTTH

I guess if you're a family of Hibs fans or go to your mates for the afternoon etc then £20 for a group of people to watch the game isn't too bad. It's not always going to be £20 for one person.

There are certainly other benefits to being a ST, announced and presumably some others to come, which outway the imbalance of a group/family being able to watch the game for only £20 should they choose to do so.

I understand that, but I would also guess that in normal circumstances, those who can't afford a season ticket could afford to see every home game as a walk up?

Perhaps looking out for number one here, but Hibs have promised me that having a season ticket is the only way to see every game. Therefore by freezing out PPV for this game, they have delivered on that. It might mean that they can justify £20 fee for future games, rather than having to charge something more like £25 to £30 to "give value" to the season ticket

Normally its £20 for 1 person to see a Hibs game. When it's streamed, it'll be £20 for a household.

I don't think its crazy money if we want to be competing to sign a decent calibre of player.
