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.

It’s quite simple really. Every Season Ticket Holder was asked in May 2023 if they wanted a Hibs First Membership for priority away tickets to the league, domestic cups AND Europe. Those that wanted one, got one. As a result of their choice, they now have a priority window. Snooze, ya lose.

I may get one, I may not - but I won't grudge those who paid for priority actually getting it !

Exactly. The window was open for days.

It was, and the membership was scoffed at by many on here as being a waste of money and not needed, now those same folk are complaining that those who signed up are guaranteed a ticket. You couldn't make it up.

Well-said Hermit Crab. Ticket anxiety has made these people forget they had a choice and opportunity which they simply decided not to take.

The Hibs First members didn’t commit to their membership in May 2023 knowing we’d be playing Aston Villa in August, they committed so they could get good access to domestic league tickets, with the very slim possibility of a glamour European tie like this. Well done to all Hibs First members on their commitment to the club - this is a hell of a bonus for that commitment.

anyone know how much this tie is worth to us in terms of gate split and potential tv revenue?

We are guaranteed £750,000 in prize money regardless of whether we go through or not. Add in our home game you're easily looking at £1m plus in additional revenue the club will not have budgeted for.

Should we qualify we would scoop well over £3m in prize money for group stage football and thats without gate and tv money added on.

Sorry I’ve not read this whole thread, can anyone confirm that tickets go on sale to Hibs first members tomorrow for Villa away?

The 6 month thing is referring to people wanting to buy tickets in the general sale.

If you buy a ST today, you're guaranteed a ticket instead of taking the chance in the general sale tomorrow!

From Hibs website.

Supporters will need to have been registered with Hibernian FC for more than six months to be eligible to purchase tickets for this match.

Reading that, if you’ve just bought your first season ticket and that’s the first time you’ve been on the database, you’re no eligible for a ticket.

Yip, Hibs First members have a window from 10am this morning until 10am Wednesday to purchase their tickets for Villa Park.

That might be what it says but I feel that would refer to single match tickets. A new ST holder should be entitled to try and get a ticket for this

Yes surely that only means people buying one off game not season tickets. Would certainly be querying that if just bought a season ticket

Presumably then open to ST holders from 10am Wednesday?

Think tickets to ST holders will be open from Thursday. Doubt they will open up tickets on Wednesday morning with most of the staff focus being on the Wednesday night game.

Yeah agreed. They’ve told Hibs First members that they won’t be able to start processing tickets until Thursday so I reckon that’s when they will also go on sale to STH

I agree a new ST holder should be entitled to it but it’s more ambiguity from them regarding ticketing arrangements for this.

What’s the deal with home game tickets are these on general sale today? Still showing north stand only for STH

The real scramble begins at 1700 today for Wall ups. Good luck everyone who is desperate to attend.

If the sections of the south showing as available only currently available to season ticket holders then?
So any STH that wants to move there for that game or any FFL STH that doesn't want to be in amongst block 7?

Pretty sure Luzern away went on sale to ST holders immediately after the window closed at 5pm for Hibs First members. Will likely be the same for Vila due to the very short turnaround time.

There will easily be 3-4000 tickets on sale. More than enough to go round.

Anyone have a number for the T.O?

The "ticket hub" is closed until tomorrow apparently. Just tried to call.

I need their help as currently my client ref won't allow me to buy any tickets- checked for the livi game. Keeps coming up with an error. Can't see this working at 5pm so need it sorted. Many thanks

Is the ticket hub not the ticket office under a different name? Closed on a Monday though mate.

I'd recommend people who aren't ST holders check their permissions as this is the case for my brothers client ref as well. Not allowing us to purchase any tickets- league games against cat B teams.
