SC Final Hibs tickets on Ebay, Gumtree, etc (merged)

**hibbybrian** · 22-04-2012 03:56 AM

Admins feel free to merge with other ticket threads, but I thought this may be a separate topic for discussion

A Season Ticket holder has put their 2nd ticket up for auction on Ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HIBS-VS-HE...item3cc5505271

Maybe they don't know any Hibbies who might appreciate a ticket at face value

***HH81*** · 22-04-2012 04:06 AM

All tickets should be going at face value, not people trying to make a profit.

Hope the seller is proud of themselves..... I can see a few silly bids though.

**Pete** · 22-04-2012 04:28 AM

I know the seller from a while back. An old face and a pure coincidence. What a stupid thing to do and pretty shameless.

I'll name and shame her if she doesn't pull it.

**joe breezy** · 22-04-2012 04:54 AM

I'd rather an independent Hibby made a bit of cash than some 'hospitality' company...

Have a feeling that by buying a debenture type thing none of my money will go to Hibs...but that's what it looks like I'll be getting at the moment

**The Green Goblin** · 22-04-2012 05:06 AM

I'm pretty sure the club will not accept this and do something about it. They have the right and the power to request the removal of the ticket. The seller might well find themselves in soapy bubble too...

Absolutely shocking, ill bet she has friends desperate for a ticket..

**joe breezy** · 22-04-2012 05:18 AM

Yeah eBay is not the place for football tickets anymore - she'd be better on gumtree or Craigslist

So that's where you go to auction off tickets for higher than their face value. Tickets that you haven't even got yet.

Cheers.

**The Green Goblin** · 22-04-2012 05:55 AM

Well, I hope the club do something about it. I am on the point of giving up the idea of coming over from Brazil for the final, due to not being guaranteed a ticket, and I am one of many many die-hard overseas fans who either won't be coming back coz we can't get a ticket, or are coming back anyway even without the guarantee of one.

There's also plenty of folks in Scotland/UK who, despite not being season ticket holders, for one reason or another, could lay bloody good claims to being deserving of a ticket for the final and here's some trollop trying to pocket a bit of cash to the highest bidder for one. I hope she gets exactly what she deserves...

***GordonHFC*** · 22-04-2012 06:02 AM

What if a Neanderthal bids and wins?

Not helping the Hibernian case then, is she.

I don't but if you want to go to see a premiership club in London it happens all the time...

I would never sell a Hibs ticket for a profit but I'm not that offended by it either

**northgreen24** · 22-04-2012 06:20 AM

can of worms I know but I dont really have a problem with this TBH. I know football itself is different to say a concert or show but this happens all the time. Now I have no extra ticket by the way but have done this in the passed for a comedy ticket as i only needed two but got priority and took as much as I could (this then funded my tickets). I am sure there was people who missed out and morally I suppose is wrong but companies make extra money all the time on tickets (hibs hearts only got 40K where is the other 12K sure some of them go to non derby fans)

is this worse than a season ticket holder taking his 2 tickets and taking a wife/mate who has never been to a game ?

Just my opinion of course

**7 Hills** · 22-04-2012 06:22 AM

Is it just me, or is the worst aspect of this sorry tale not the fact that she's going out with a Jambo, according to the item description?! :-)

***blackpoolhibs*** · 22-04-2012 06:35 AM

I'm in for 10k god i hope i win, but i have a feeling i might just miss out on this one.

You'd be happy for her to make a bit of cash by selling a Hibs ticket to a Yam?

**ArmadaleHibs** · 22-04-2012 06:39 AM

Disgraceful!!!!!! If you don't need the ticket, simple, don't take two from the allocation. I'm entitled to six by using me and my two boys season tickets and that's me and my mates who go every week home and away covered. The thought of cashing in whilst so many good hibs fans could have the ticket disgusts me. Defo no place for this and whilst I know it's the way of the world now to cash in on anything you can, not this. That ticket should be left for public sale or given at face value. She should offer it to someone on hibs.net. I really hope she re-thinks.

I would alert someone at Hibs to who she is, as she is entitled to 2 there is probably not much they can do however I would still bring it to their attention. As you say it's pretty shameless and if one person scores out it then others are bound to follow.

I will refrain from commenting on this aspect! We all knew that there was a certainty that this would happen. Does this person not read the papers or indeed this forum? There are thousands of supporters desperate to get their hands on tickets! Im all for free enterprise and all that but this is the Scottish Cup Final with only 20k tickets and this person is selling this ticket on a public media board and anyone and i mean ANYONE can bid and get the ticket EVEN a Jambo!!!!
Crowd control is going to be difficult enough at this game. Emotions will run very high! I for one do not want one of them beside me!
Look after our own, there are many disappointed people who would pay over the odds for a ticket and they are HIBEES supporters.
Doesnt she realise that the club can trace her, her season and put a stop on her getting this ticket for sale on ebay!!

This really takes the crap out of the HIBERNIAN family ethic!
Get a grip and pull this advert if you dont need the ticket get on here and offer a real supporter a chance to be part of history.
So disappointed!!!!

Only if they bid over 10k

I didn't see the bit in the ad that says will sell to Hearts fans only

I'd rather she ensured the buyer was a Hibbie do guess the best way to do that is to sell to someone you know for face value

**gorgie greens** · 22-04-2012 06:59 AM

Was willing to pay over the odds as its a game you could never miss,but £10 k,+ has blown me out of the water,n I'm not selling my new BMW ,
Not being a season ticket holder (due to my geographical location)anymore,it is my only option,unless some kind hibs netter sees pity on me ,grovell

Come on, are you a hibby or not? We should be doing our utmost to try and get this person as much as possible, get the car sold and start bidding. I'm sure if someone wants this ticket, we can reach the £1m mark by the end of the day.

Check out some of the other threads since Friday lunchtime and you'll see that a number of others are planning this kind of thing and are also suggesting that they will buy ST's to which they are not entitled to get a ticket for the Final to which they would not be entitled to!

I never ceased to be amazed by the 'dirty tricks' that some people will resort to over things like this!

No need to sell it mate, I'll swap you a ticket for the car and might even throw in my own used BMW as an added bonus!!

**NAE NOOKIE** · 22-04-2012 07:55 AM

This isnt a ticket for Wimbledon or something like that. This is a ticket for a once in a lifetime opportunity which may never come around again.

I would rather give a spare ticket away to a Hibby than take the chance of a Yam getting their hands on it, even for a thousand quid.

***Malonga's Cat*** · 22-04-2012 08:06 AM

This is disgusting. I hope the club catch this person out and they get no tickets. This could go to anyone who doesn't support Hibs while there are thousands of Hibby's going to miss out. If she doesn't need the 2nd ticket for a hibby friend, here's an idea... don't get one! Leave it for someone else, the more folk who do that, the more chance there is of a general sale!

The potential for a Hearts fan buying one of these has changed my mind on this

My position was that if someone can pay over 400 for a season ticket then has a spare that they are happy to sell to me for 60 quid I don't mind at all

But when it's an open auction site that could be used by a Hearts fan then that's no good
