Now that the home game is sold out (or almost sold out) I thought a thread for away tickets was in order.
When do we reckon they will go on sale? If the system holds up I reckon we could be on for a record of quickest ever sell out of away tickets.

Should see them on sale tomorrow or Wednesday. Around 2000 available, unless Block 7 have their allocation prior to the rest of the ST holders.Quote:

When trying to buy home tickets it was giving me option of buying one in the Doug Ellis Stand for away game didn’t try and buy it as not going but might be worth going on just now and see if it’s letting you buy one
Hibs First members have until 10am tomorrow to buy. I’d guess they might wait until Thursday to put them on sale for STH
Let’s you add to basket but not purchaseQuote:

So around 1500 for season ticket holders do we reckon? After Hibs first and players families

Definitely this. Then you deduct:Quote:

Won’t be shy of 1k to above gone I reckon.
2146 was our total allocation. Deduct at least 1000 off that and you've got your rough amount on sale tomorrow
Couple of questions (purely for clarity, not for argument): Why would Hospitality ST holders get a ticket? Is it part of their package? Do staff / players get tickets with the fans, rather than in a 'Main' Stand e.g. some sort of corporate area? Cheers.Quote:

Players and family members are regularly seen in the Hibs section at away games, Porto was in the Hibs end at Tynie a few times.
Uefa rules dictate that Home clubs must make at least 200 seats available (I think) in the hospitality section for players/staff to purchase if they wish.

Strange, the question has been asked numerous times. Makes you wonder why nobody has gave a straight answerQuote:

When it comes to Block7 no answer is an answer in itself really. If the answer was 'no they get no priority' then it would have been communicated by now. Ignoring the question says it all.
Tbh I think it's a tricky one for the club. As a group they have a presence at every away game and I suppose you have to balance what they bring to the table against the negatives of their behaviour and also the potential to piss off ST holders.
I am a presence at every away game, why do they have priority over me, a person who's been following Hibs away since the 1980's?Quote:

It's a joke to be honest.
Hibs really do need to clarify if Block 7 are getting tickets reserved.
It’s a simple yes or no.
If the group are members of Hibs First then everything is above board and getting allocated a particular section of away end is fine. If they are simply ST holders, but getting priority over others then it’s 100% not on.
Every ST holder outwith the HF membership deserves an equal chance to buy for what is arguably our biggest away game in a lifetime for many.
I think the silence probably tells it own storyQuote:

The only priority members over and above STH is Hibs First. Ergo, they must be assigned tickets after Hibs First.
Ah, but do you bring a drum?Quote:

Shame the club couldn't just organise a standard loyalty points system, like virtually every other club - rather than trying to fleece as much cash as possible ala hibs first tory scheme
Also a total nonsense if these young boys are getting priority ahead of fans who've followed the team for decades
Maybe we all need to start chucking missiles on to the park and bullying other Hibbies out of their seats if we want priority tickets.
The club had a loyalty programme a number of years ago, but people complained about it and the club done away with it.Quote:

Honestly, no matter what the club does, they're lambasted for it
IIRC, the club were only lambasted previously when they changed the goalposts and allowed folk to throw in £££ to gain X number of loyalty pointsQuote:

The loyalty points could've been used for both the tie at ER, and the away leg - resulting in a fairer distribution of tickets for all
As it stands, I personally know of 6 people (who were not in Switzerland) who have secured a ticket for Villa Park simply by paying the £50 in the summer. There will likely be hundreds of folk who were in Lucerne who will miss out next week - fair?
People complained about it because the club messed it up and started awarding points for stuff rather than attendance.Quote:

It would be nice if the fans rep could represent the majority of fans on this one, and not be a mouthpiece for the club instead.
Maybe the loyalty scheme we had before wasn’t a good one and that’s why people complained?Quote:

Fair play to everyone who did, I certainly wish I did it so I don’t say that with any bitterness, I just don’t think Hibs first necessarily rewards loyalty, it’s a different thing altogether.
I stand to potentially benefit from there being no loyalty scheme as I wouldn’t have as many points as others so it’s a good thing for me but I struggle to understand how so many other similar size and bigger clubs can have a loyalty scheme but Hibs can’t?
There never seems to be a way that people stop moaning about.Quote:

ST holders that attended 2/4 European games previous this season
ST holders that attended 1/4 European games previous this season
All remaining ST holders
General Sale :greengrin
Maybe that's over complicated or a load of old pony, but, it makes sense to me and for reference I'd be in the 4th sale down so even less chance than I have now as I haven't been to an away leg (yet) this season but I do think those who went to both Andorra & Switzerland should be recognised for that.
The club deserve to be lambasted for giving them priority tickets if it is the case. Why should they get them?Quote:

A Loyalty Point system would have ensured the vast majority of the regular attendees would get tickets. Block 7 included.
There’s a poster on Facebook (Carl Macar) saying that he got his ticket for the home and the away game via Block 7. Make of that what you will

Wonder how many the HSA branches got too - the ones that run regular buses get an allocation for every away match.
Sorted. Thanks for the info:not worthQuote:

Q3 was on offer to those with priority access as “premium general admission”Quote:

Home cup games too. I hardly missed a game when the loyalty points were on offer. My circumstances are different now but my views are still the same. Those who go to most away games should get priority. That doesn't include me any more and the club don't value it so I'll take my chances tomorrow. Not having a loyalty scheme says to me we expect not to have big games and is a small club mentality.Quote:

Fwiw I think KP has done a good job in both roles he has had.
Its says its confirmation but also states further down that ticket price....returned. unclear tbh.Quote:
