To me that reads like it is as good as it gets - hopefully not.
Glad I came early. Took ages to scan me and son in, with lots of staff standing around looking puzzled.
I arrived at East 1420, no turnstiles open at all, just stewards with hand held scanners at exit doors.Quote:

That said, for all it was a bit of farting about, we weren’t more than a couple of minutes waiting.
Same in West Upper at 2.30. How much did we pay for this system?
Just entered East Stand and I’m sure some of the club staff (Laura Montgomery) we’re taking season tickets and scanning them by hand instead of the machine.
No queues but wonder what we will do going forward as this new system as demonstrated several times isn’t fit for purpose.
Think that might’ve happened to mine, but they just took it away and got someone else to try for a few minutes before letting me in.Quote:

I hope Hibs are being well compensated for this.
FF upper was hand held scanner as well !
Why are they still not opening all the turnstiles at the back of the East?
Only a few turnstiles open at east and they all had hand scanners.
What a joke it’s still not working. Next home game is the derby, hope to god they’ve got it sorted by then.
Well, looks like they still haven't got them working
Boys in front of me got told their ticket hasn't been scanned and to go to another turnstile only to be told that the ticket had scanned already.
Went to scan mine and a hand appeared and did it for me. West upper.
Seems like some are scanning but there is no notification to the user and the turnstile remains locked, I had the same experience last week and ended up getting scanned in at one of the exitsQuote:

2 or 3 games issues but still issues.

FAULTY
In the West,where the turnstiles are in twos ,every second one was closed.Going for a drink just before half time half the hot water taps wouldn’t produce any water.Since the close season the complacency throughout the club has been mind boggling and is going to be punished next year when season tickets go on sale.
I’m so disappointed and more this hasn’t been fixed yet. The club knows but it’ll be on my feedback again.
I would urge to keep to handscanning (in ALL turnstiles) for the immediate short period as it’s quicker than the current unpredictable system.

I say keep employing people on the turnstiles!.
The new system is a joke so let a few folk earn some wages - community spirit and all that!
My ticket scanned no problem, nephew was next, it appeared like his ticket scanned as the display showed GO but turnstyle wouldn’t move then it looked like the software crashed. He had to go out and in the open door to the side where guy there was trying to send him to the TO. Finally got him in after other steward came over and said to let him in.

Turned up to FFL at about half past.
Went in through either 25 or 26. Software had crashed and me and the boys were manually scanned through.
Pointless.
I said the same to my son, what is the point of scanning automatically if someone has to use a hand held scanner...pointless!Quote:

Our tickets scanned fine today and we turned up at 2.50pm. Only issue I had was my 8 year old had his small bottle of costco water taken out his bag by one of the security only for the contents to be poured into a plastic cup?? It was 23c and what's the point of pouring it in a large plastic cup?
Still not good enough. It’s now nearly September and the next home game is a powder keg v Hearts. 50% of turnstiles today in the east. weren’t open as the club couldn’t trust the automatic entry system. That’s 8-9 weeks to get it right and it appears that it cannot be trusted so the club have reverted to having stewards using hand held scanners.
Someone within Hibs is responsible for the relationship with Ticketmaster and the general Operations. Like the first team coach they seem unqualified and this questions the ability of the persons employing them
You're not allowed to take in bottles that's why. What's the problem with them pouring it into a cup? Sounds like they were being quite helpful.Quote:

I arrived about 2.40 and there was a largish queue at the West Upper Dunbar End. There are 4 Turnstiles and all looked like they were broken as entry was through the opening where the turnstile operator used to sit with a steward hand scanning tickets. I'll make a point of being very early for the next game
What was wrong with the turnstiles last season?
Nothing I can remember. I think the change was to enable more digital tickets. That was working before the update albeit unofficially. (you could scan the barcode stored on a mobile.Quote:

It is against the law to take any bottle in and has been for 20+ years. The ground rules tell you, the programme tells you. You see them being confiscated every flaming week but there is always the one who has a pop at the club about a law they cannot change because they're "special". The club didnt confiscate your drink they decanted it.Quote:

Sorry but not everyone is clued up on the goings on at all scottish stadiums like you obviously are 👍Quote:

Two questions for the excellent fans rep Power who has listened and taken our feedback to the club
Who are the company we brought in to implement this new system?
Who at Hibs was tasked with managing this project and is being walked all over by a failing contractor? They have to go.
No.more.pissing.about.

They have been sold a system that supposedly works, are continuing to try and fix the situation,but really are tied by a company. Playing devils advocate here i know, but are the company who install/design the system able to simulate all turnstiles being in use at once for a capacity crowd, or are they just turning up, having a look at the system and saying aye alls fine, you'll be sound for the next game? I don't believe it is due to a lack of attempt by the club to sort this situation out, or major issues behind closed doors. As with the food contract, the amount of complaints that have gone through the representatives and various other channels, again are we not tied to a contract with a ***** catering company,who probably know that after this year they are getting the punt so have just given up?

Did see folk testing some turnstiles this afternoon so fingers crossed it’s all sorted!
There is no where near the number attending in East as normal Hibs games.
Anyone in the West ?
Yes, we were in the west lower. The tickets were getting scanned by hand by a guy behind the turnstile.
Seemed relatively smooth, there was a decent crowd in the west lower.
ThanksQuote:

My sons ticket never worked in the west and it basically made the scanner reboot. He was let through and an official asked to keep his ticket to help them work out what the problem is
