I'm surprised at this too - they should be between STs and 'the public' - but I can't imagine that, Tynecastle aside sometimes, it will be much of an issue.

Granted it wont be an issue Beefster, but when the Membership was started, it was said they would be after Season Ticket Holders......Is there any reason for having a Season Ticket anymore? Originally Posted by Beefster

Not really. I miss about 4 games a season so it costs me money to have one. I do like my seat though. Originally Posted by Baldy Foghorn

The new marketing for renewals will be dropping through our letterboxes shortly.... Given relegation will probably still remain a threat, plenty available spaces on a matchday, and now Club Membership receiving similar privileges, then it is going to be a very interesting read to see what the renewal offer is...........

Exactly mate that's a joke, they have our dough upfront so why are we not getting priority. Not disrespect intended to non season ticket holders but i always thought that the point in being a season ticket member is so that you get proriity on ticket sales for big games and early bird offers etc. Another marketing fail by Hibs. Will they ever learn?? Originally Posted by Baldy Foghorn

They'll probably operate that way for matches where excessive demand is expected such as cup finals (don't laugh), I doubt a trip to Greyskull counts. Originally Posted by Baldy Foghorn

Now I could be wrong here, I hope I am but did club members not get charged the £1.50 per ticket booking fee for the dunfy game? Somebody told me this was the case.

Someone's on a right downer today
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Do you think someone who pays £20 should receive same privilege as someone who pays £400? Originally Posted by Mikey

To be fair, our support at the Theatre of Unemployment was piss poor last time so it may be because of that. 400 or so if I recall.

I think it's just because they've been slow at organising the Rangers tickets (don't know whether there was a hold-up on our end or theirs, but thought they'd been on sale before now). Were season ticket holders not given the advanced sales option for tomorrow's game? Originally Posted by Baldy Foghorn

Exactly. There would be no advantage to anyone for staggered sales of this fixture. Hibs clearly don't expect much demand, so in this case I wouldn't see the point in doing so. Originally Posted by 3pm

Yes...I think season ticket members get 'free' entry to home games which is maybe why they are charged £400 as opposed to £20 just to be a member. Originally Posted by Baldy Foghorn

I can't quite believe this is being discussed as an issue in such a negative light. What are we like. Hope the atmosphere at the game tomorrow is a bit more positive than the majority of posts on this forum. Nightmare.

Club Membership Scheme
I have to agree with you on this one...........(heaven forbid!) I too was thinking along these lines when they first announced this scheme. Originally Posted by Baldy Foghorn

A few seasons ago the club introduced a similar system to get in more money and promised second billing on away tickets to holders. That system did not work and i am curious to find out if this one will either?
I too have paid for my season ticket which allows me my prefered seat at every home league game at a slightly reduced price. If i want to sit there for cup games and friendlies i have to pay for a cup top up or ticket?
Each Christmas the club promotes the half season ticket, which again brings money into the club. These season ticket holders are given a free game to start their ticket off. Then we had the introduction of the club membership scheme, where for £20 the holders are given the same priority as season ticket holders for ticketed games, away games and CUP FINALS (if only) they are also given money off vouchers for use in the shop and lower ticket prices too.
Almost every season special deals to try and get the punters in are promoted with ie. two for the price of one, bring along the family promotions and Green Day etc. Where as a season ticket holder am i benefiting here? I dont grudge the walk up supporter anything and i do understand that the club needs money. I think its getting to the stage now where i begining to feel the regular season ticket holder is being taken for granted here (again my opinion) .....
So where next season other than having my own seat, will it benefit me to be a season ticket holder? As if i dont buy a season ticket but purchase the club memebership at £20 im assured of a ticket to the away games anyway and i can also take the benefits of reduced prices at promotion days too?
Decisions decisions ?????

I'm a long time ST holder...no problem from me as long as common sense is used for matches when ST demand might use all allocation....
Anyone willing to go there and support team should be encouraged....its hard when these days there is little chance of waking up on a Saturday...and just deciding to go as we would in the past...hard to have to plan every game so far ahead....
It might be a while till there should be concern about 'House Full' signs when ever Hibs play....

FFS we have 5000 ST holders so its unlikely we will take even 10% of that to ipox. We never take big support anywhere. Tomorrow is our biggest game of the season and we will be lucky to 3000 .

How is it free entry when you pay £400? Struggle to understand that.... Originally Posted by Dunning Hibs

On reflection Club Members are actually getting better deal for Ibrox as they don't incur the booking fee, that Season ticket holders do if booking online or via Ticketmaster"There's class, there's first class and there's Hibs class" - Eddie Turnbull
