No they shouldn’t

Nobody who went to luzern should be guaranteed an away ticket for villa because it went to a generals sale. Tickets were also 100% passed on too.
Hibs should also do a collection In Birmingham with ID to reduce the chance of tickets getting passed on to non ST members for this game.
1st season ticket this season and been told I can't buy a ticket for this game as its a category A game. How long must I wait until I am eligible?
This is the message I get.Unfortunately, one or more items in your basket is assigned to a newly registered client, which is not allowed. Newly registered clients are not eligible to purchase for Category A games (Celtic, Rangers and Hearts) or for certain games in cup competitions. Please note - these restrictions are also in place when booking via our ticket office at Easter Road.

It's a great idea and again something most other clubs do with a decent level of demand. If there's any type of priority system or group, HibsFirst, STs or whatever, then the club should do all they can to make sure those actual people with priority are the ones attending.
Could obviously be way out with this and sorry if it's already been explained, but I'm guessing we'll have an agreement in place and Villa will charge us £21 or whatever we're charging them at ER?
Otherwise it's a bit **** charging our own walk up fans £30
Will probably just go straight to general sale.
No, that won't work or happen. Hibs need to sort ticketing out longer-term as it doesn't really recognise loyalty or attendance & is open to people passing tickets on, but there is nothing changing ahead of Villa or mid-season. HibsFirst, then season ticket holders.
Reward those who were fortunate enough to go to Luzern even more by guaranteeing them Villa tickets....not for me. How about those who were in Luzern not getting tickets and giving others a chance to travel to see Hibs in Europe at a more affordable place....no? Neither option is realistic so in the absence of any loyalty scheme all ST holders should be given an equal chance. Similar issue to Scotland Travel Club when points were awarded for away games, but those who could afford to go to all the games harvested all the points and others who wanted to go to games never got the chance to accumulate any points. Members paid a fee when they never really had a chance of getting tickets. No easy answers other than giving everyone an equal chance.
How about rewarding the non season ticket holders that attended the 2 home games as well then, or the small number that’ll be bothered to turn up on tomorrow……where does it end🙄
Why should Hibs First be given priority over season ticket holders? Many season ticket holders have had season tickets for decades 40+ years and more so why should they be overlooked at the expense of some newly introduced scheme?
Hibs First membership clearly states that it's for the prioritising of domestic away League and cup fixtures only. European ties shouldn't come into it.
https://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/hibs-first-1 "A Hibs First Membership includes priority access to away tickets for Hearts, Celtic and Rangers fixtures as well as all other cinch Premiership, League Cup and Scottish Cup matches. Priority ticket access to any potential European ties is also included."
Hibs First is a continuation of the former Away Season Ticket scheme where all members had to buy a ticket for most games whether we could attend them or not. It was introduced after the disastrous failed loyalty points scheme to reward loyalty. Bear this in mind, last season this was nowhere near fully subscribed and it was only capped at 350 but this season the Hibs First scheme was capped at 500, Every single STH got the option to join up and if you chose not to then thats only on you I'm afraid.
By the way, the official press release from Hibs regarding Hibs first also states priority access to any potential Euro ties is also included so you you're wrong.
A Hibs First Membership includes priority access to away tickets for Hearts, Celtic and Rangers fixtures as well as all other cinch Premiership, League Cup and Scottish Cup matches.
Priority ticket access to any potential European ties is also included.
