When the away end was mentioned previously as holding 836, I thought that would just about do us. I was thinking we might take 700-800, something like that. Hard to make any kind of educated guess on it right enough. The allocation we have will definitely do.Quote:

1000 people having to get a ticket from a random location prob means standing in a queue for ages, carrying passport out and about after a few beers, potentially disruption to the pre match build up on the Thursday (which should be one of the best bits about the trip), and also a headache for people arriving later into Herning on the day of the game.
Wonder if it is a Hibs decision (like SFA have dictated for some Scotland away games) or whether its a Midtjylland/Danish mandate.:hmmm:
I was hearing tonight that the allocation was made up of the away end, about 800 and the rest being hospitality seats.
I’m not sure that the distribution of tickets will be as strict as is being made out by the club,
I think it’s down to the Danes, given the information is noted as being passed to them.Quote:

Home club need to make a certain amount available (might be up to 200) for sponsors, comps etc.Quote:

Not certain, was just told at haddington tonight.Quote:

It would make sense to be fair. Either way, it’s a decent outcome in a stadium that size. The allocation will be enough.Quote:

It’s not, it’s the away end and then an extra section if we need it.Quote:

I'm the same, not a ST holder, not worth it for me as I live abroad. Already booked flights etc. Not worried about picking up a loose ticket in Denmark.Quote:

There were a few I met in Luzern who weren't season ticket holders. But they were good Hibbys with long histories of supporting the club. If loyalty points were in place they would have had decent points numbers - instead they clearly managed to get tickets from good Hibby mates using season ticket refs. And everyone got a ticket who wanted one so they weren't denying any other Hibs fan a ticket.Quote:

There's a question around where passport ID would be needed- ie pick up only, or also at stadium entry? Also can lead member of group pick up tickets with one set of ID or does it have to be every single person. SFA does both depending on fixture.
For those still interested in going there were flights via Vienna (outbound) and Gdansk(inbound) to Copenhagen for £273 on skyscanner.
Decent times and options for trains to Herning.

I have no issue being last in the queue. I've had a ST on and off over the years for a variety of reasons but I don't now so not expecting to be bumping any ST holder out of a ticket.Quote:

I doubt he will know if there is going to be a general sale. He won't know how many season ticket holders are going to purchase.Quote:

I actually took a screenshot on my phone of the page you get on the website following the processing of the payment and it shows one ticket in my name and the other in his. So its unclear why the subsequent email confirmation I got would come through showing both tickets under my client ref :dunno:
Normally I would collect both tickets in the one envelope for any game in this country without having to confirm my mates address as its done under one financial transaction. Will be interesting to see what happens across there and if we both have to be present to collect the tickets (guidance suggests this will be necessary) or if they will give them both to me whilst he gets the beers in :tee hee:
The passport details were taken separately when purchasing, I’m guessing so they can be passed securely as it was stated they’d be passed to Midtjylland.
I don’t think there is too much to think about here. They’ve said you need to turn up and show your passport to get your ticket. If it’s a group purchase, turn up together and I’m sure it’ll be dealt with.
The hospitality, guests etc are already allocated space in the main stand. We have a section of the West set aside for the same thing when we play at home.Quote:

Most likely the passport requirement is to serve as a deterrent at the point of purchase to prevent sharing of client refs, rather than create unnecessary hassle in Herning. We've had similar requirements in Tripolis and Andorra, although I can't remember the exact rules before collection, it was seamless & more common sense from Tracey Smith in Greece and Kieran P in Andorra, rather than a thorough inspection of all passports & cross-reference to the purchase info etc. People worrying about logistics of this, as you say, local collection is how most big European clubs & international teams operate, so I'd imagine it will be pretty straight forward.Quote:

So maybe not the same as Denmark, but even still I can't remember, in the group of us that went over, if there was anything more than a very quick glance at passports, at best. Andorra for sure we purchased in advance, and collected with ID.Quote:

There's a cracking video still on YouTube of the day that Hibs released, worth a look back before going back for more in Denmark.
Roughly how many did we take to Lucerne? Would expect at least as many to want to go on this trip.
I think it was around a thousand but there were more travel options for that one.Quote:

Fingers crossed still for a general sale
