100 Winners Announced

More...

**SwanseaHibs** · 23-04-2013 05:12 PM

I see there are 200 pairs up for grabs on Saturday too. A nice gesture from the club to reward walk-up fans and it potentially increases the gate.

All-in-all I think the club have handled this pretty well so far.

**Greendub** · 23-04-2013 05:23 PM

Same here. Still got my full ticket, including stub.................not much chance of me winning then

**Waxy** · 23-04-2013 05:24 PM

It seems Hibs have employed a turnstile attendant who didnt take the stubs off tickets for last nights match.
I was in the west lower.i went through turnstiles 13-16.(i think it was turnstile 16 but could be wrong.
The attendant scanned my ticket but gave me the whole thing back.
I didnt realise the stubs where going to be drawn from a bucket.
I had bought online and thought it would be a computerised draw.

Seems a few lads and lasses have got the same complaint.
Surely something should be done about this?

Not much they can do now. Go back on Sat though - double the number of chances to win.

***Mikey*** · 23-04-2013 05:26 PM

Is there anyone who DID have their stub ripped off? All we're hearing about so far is people who didn't and that might tell us something

I would imagine at least one fan rocking up for just the 2 games this season will end up with 4 tickets to play with ...

And far more commercial than nice otherwise we'd have been told right up about tix for the saints game.

Me and the daughter were in The East and the same thing, bummer didn't realise either till I read your post.

***Speedy*** · 23-04-2013 05:32 PM

Looks like East 41 EE 114 got two sets

**vercol36** · 23-04-2013 05:33 PM

It's just bad luck, I'm afraid.

You know there'll be exactly the same number of walk-ups how?

**SwanseaHibs** · 23-04-2013 05:34 PM

In that case then the club haven't handled this as well as they could.

I don't see the argument regarding not pre-announcing the St. Mirren game as being unfair or commercial though. It sounds like a case of going to the game only to be in with a chance of a Cup Final ticket.

**Hovehibby** · 23-04-2013 05:34 PM

i bought mine online as well, went through turnstile 44 or 45 in the East.

Not much point in the St Mirren raffle for me though - I'm already back in Brighton and can't get back to Edinburgh for Saturday.

Poor show, Hibs

What's not commercial aboutit? Sounds like maximising income to me ... no beef with that, but it's in no way simply a 'nice' gesture.

Pedant alert! Double the number of tickets to be won!

**mcculloch1875** · 23-04-2013 05:38 PM

I was West Upper (turnstile 12 i think) exact same thing, looks like it wasn't just one attendant. More the principle thats annoying, will still go on saturday though.

Agreed.

I don't think anyone would say it is unfair. It's 100% commercial though, the reason they didn't announce it before the Aberdeen game is because fewer people would've went as they'd chance their luck with Saturday.

***Hermit Crab*** · 23-04-2013 05:41 PM

Anyone on here a winner?

**mcculloch1875** · 23-04-2013 05:42 PM

Anyone contacted the club about this?

I was under the impression that all you needed to do was buy a ticket and your name went in to the raffle, i never even handed my ticket over.

I'm thinking that's what happened as there are too many people who didn't have their stub ripped off, and so far no-one who did!!

Bugger just checked my daughters tickets and they haven't had the stubs removed and it was turnstile 13-16 as well. What an incompetent git!

From the article:

"Stewart McGuire and Willie Kirk each drew 50 winners from the draw bucket containing all walk up ticket stubs from last nights game.
The lucky walk-up supporters whose seats have been drawn will have the opportunity to purchase two tickets for the eagerly anticipated Scottish Cup Final on 26 May.
Tickets can be claimed by showing the respective stub at the point of purchase during a priority period that will be announced shortly"

***Billy Whizz*** · 23-04-2013 05:49 PM

Hibs must have all the ticket stubs from last night. It must be easy to check if your ticket was in the draw. They should publish on the website all the tickets in the draw, if yours wasn't and you have a ticket stub, you should be entered automatically into Saturday's draw.
Thank goodness we don't do a Lotto, if this is how we do a ticket draw....

***Jay*** · 23-04-2013 05:49 PM

Can you not contact the club and explain? If you still have the full ticket you have proof that your stub didnt go into the draw. Maybe they will stick them in saturdays draw for you?
