Because the hobo peg sellers are desperate for the cash obviously.

Another sensible decision by the Board, i'm surprised that more companies have not been taking Hearts to court for money they are owed, there must be a lot of worried business owners out there.

There was actually something quite similar posted on kickback last week

Apparently we are more likely to go bust than them!!

[EskbankHibby]

Will be a great excuse for a "boycott" as a way of justifying their inability to sell their full allocation as usual.

[Cabbage East]

All tickets will be posted by Special Delivery. There will be no collections from Hibernian Football Club.

I love how we've made it clear we don't want the mutants anywhere near the ground apart from match days.

GIRFUY

It's something that already happens with the Old Firm games because of the arguements the other year about Rantic wanting to keep x% of their ticket sales for when they play away from home, so it's a precedent the club have used to their advantage to make sure they aren't left waiting for months for HMFC to get a cheque together for their side of the ticket sales for the derby. Well done the board, I say

IIRC, you can buy tickets for any Hibs home game for the rest of the season now.

While I don’t blame Hibs for taking this course of action there are certain areas I’m not too enamoured by and which may mean less than a sell out.

I will have to pay a £6 special delivery fee and this on top of an expensive ticket will undoubtedly put some people off.

We also have to fill in a downloaded application with all personal details(proving loyalty points etc) plus card details and 3 digit security code. Then post the application off.None too comfortable about this and may also put people off.

If allowed I would happily take a trip to Easter Road ticket Office or pay direct into a secure website.

I and my son will still go as it is without doubt my favourite game of the season but in a time when getting people to go to the games is hard enough these obstacles will undoubtedly put people off.

Initially it is my team’s owners at fault for failing to give Hibs assurances the ticket money will be paid in the timescale but it is the supporters who will suffer due to a fairly ill thought out ordering system

Nah,it's ALL his fault, simple as that, so tough titty

[1two]

They're getting charged £6 for delivery and getting no choice in the matter.

So 2 adult tickets for them will cost £62!!!

Haha

There will be many a hearts fan greeting about said scenario.

But the problem lyes solely at the hands of your owner, Therefore its Hearts fault not Hibs.

If it was upto me id charge the ******s triple for special delivery!!!!.


They sure are special awrite, No right in the heid the lot of them .

[At The Edge]

Bruno, i hear that Celtic have done the same with your tickets for Darkhead, is it the same sort of deal? i.e all details to be sent to Celtic etc etc and a hefty postage charge on top?

Will Hearts be doing the same for future Cat A games at Tynecastle?

I'm not denying it's Hearts fault and the reason for Hibs selling tickets direct is understandable I just think that it could have been done in a more secure way at least offering fans the opportunity to buy tickets in person at your ticket office.

My son is 13 and hasn't missed a derby at Easter Road since he was 6 so he's not going to miss this one.

As I am on Hibs database I could easily buy one for lot less money and a lot easier and safer method and that is the point. Why make it more difficult and costlier.

That's the one worry I've got about this scenario that it may become a tit-for-tat situation. Hearts being the tits of that scenario, of course.

Maybe they'd be less inclined tae put folk off going as they need tae scrape together enough tae pay their players wages. Personally for me they can dae what the like, they dinnae get money from me anyway as I dinnae go tae that *****hole.

I've got over 130 points but if those tossers think I'm lining their pockets by paying £34 for a ticket they they can ram it! Hibs are so desperate for cash they've now decided to rip off Hearts fans by selling direct, citing the excuse that they might not get paid if we sell them to our own fans, they're pathetic!

Is this boy for real?
Hahahaha

[Golden Bear]

£6 "admin" or whatever type of additional charge it actually is does seem a bit excessive. It's bad enough when you're charged a booking fee of £1.50 then an additional £1 for postage.

While agreeing with the thinking behind the policy, I've a feeling it could result in a sizeable drop in revenue from the hawrts support.

I think the £6 is a flat fee (not per ticket) so at least some kind of recompense (if buying more than one ticket). For the record if WE (as home fans) were buying tickets online we would get charged £1.50 per ticket admin. fee plus the special delivery charge BUT we do have a chance to buy at face value. I think Ticketmaster AND Royal Mail will be the ones making the money here certainly not Hibs. I'd be p'd off if we had to do this for Tynie.

I doubt they will.

If there are say 1000 less yams at ER than normal Hibs will be £26k worse off, but it's stll better than being bumped for £100k+.

Heats don't run the same risk with Hibs, and they certainly can't afford to lose £25k or so in lost sales that would probably result.
