6 Match Ticket

[Since90+2]

A colleague of mine who is a Sheep fan just mentioned he had purchased a 6 match ticket and it sounds like a good idea.

Basically you purchase an open ended 6 match ticket for the season and this can be used to attend any 6 matches of your choosing. Does anyone else agree this could be a good idea to bridge the gap between people who cant commit to a full season ticket but would like to support the club in this way instead of the odd walk up?

What happens if it is a sell out?

Since the new East Stand was built, how many times have we sold out ER?

[WeeRussell]

Absolutely.

Although if you book a specific seat (like season tickets) without knowing which games you are going to attend then it poses issues if lots of people take up the offer... not that we are close to selling out or anything.

Could work if they are not for specific seats and you can go on and choose your seat up until matchday to confirm you are using your ticket for that week

Like the idea - wonder how Aberdeen work it.

I'm assuming you still have to collect individual match tickets for each game in advance?

What is the main advantage for the purchaser? Potentially lower cost?

Do they have any distinction between Category A, B etc. games?

[Steve-O]

If it's an all ticket match you could just go and show your 6 match pass and get a ticket. Easy.

Wellington Phoenix manage it here so am sure Hibs can.

I deleted the post as I thought twice about it.

However it could sell out though, couldn't it?

I would imagine you get a discount for purchasing the 6 games but no idea how Aberdeen work it. There is no restriction on the games you can attend as far as I am aware.

Nope - not if it hasn't since the East stand was built.

I'm sure it has bound to. I was actually meaning that post to be a mock of the previous one to you suggesting that we shouldn't even consider a sell-out because it hasn't done so much over the past few years!

They do give you an exact seat, however it never gets near a sellout.

[matty_f]

I like the idea of these things as well.

If the theory about there being an infinite number of universes is correct, then hell, YES!

On more than one occasion.

Benefit is it that you'd have the money in the bank up front.

If buying a six match ticket gives you a guaranteed saving given as unlike a ST you run no risk of missing a game it would have to be priced very carefully.

[E10 Rifle]

It's a great idea. You wouldn't be guaranteed a seat for your match, you'd just have a credit to purchase 6 match tickets if available and you just purchase a ticket for a seat online in the same way you would for any match using this system. If it's sold out and you're too late - then too bad, you just have to wait until the next game.

[Franck Stanton]

This would be a great idea, especially for me as I am out of the country for 6 weeks from Jan 3rd to Feb 14th every year so a S/T for me isn't good value [although still get one], this idea would certainly work for me as I could buy one every 6 home games and just miss out for the times I am away. Just for info - I have contacted the ticket office recently enquiring if it was possible to purchase a 1st half of season ticket but they said it wasn't possible, 2nd half or full season only.

[thebakerboy]

If you used up all six tickets could you buy another six , which would probably suit me as I have a season but miss a few games every season. Would mean I could plan my games better. Therefore better for me but better for the club I think maybe not.

[Since90+2]

Seems like a few people like the sound of the idea.

I have dropped Hibs an email to get their thoughts and will pass on once I hear back

[E10 Rifle]

Most important thing for the club would be cash in the bank up front and I would reckon a certain % would pay but not use all six, perhaps realising a very small additional profit. I have three folk in the office (occasional walk-ups) that would purchase this product if it was a reality. Good luck with it.

[heretoday]

Sounds a great idea. Allows those of us who can't commit to a full season the feeling that we're contributing something.

[patlowe]

Much as I want the fans to have as much flexibility as possible in buying tickets, I think the club would be apprehensive about releasing anything that has the potential to undermine the season ticket. I look forward to seeing how it goes at Aberdeen - how it's priced, how they settled on the figure of six games etc. You have to think that the future of football attendance in this country has to be built on innovation around ticketing as the current model is very stale.

[iwasthere1972]

Is it valid for any category game?

Anything to get more bums on seats is a good thing. Can't see there be a huge saving, if any, in purchasing a six match pass.

No chance . We didn't sell out against sevco in the play off semi .

Probably done using the stats on their database - 6 being the number they arrived at based non ST sales per person registered

Oops, didn't see that.


....and to answer your question: Theoretically but I doubt it'll happen any time soon.

[Since90+2]

Aberdeen are doing the package for £119. Seems like decent value.

[hfc rd]

Think this is a brilliant idea.

[Golden Bear]

On the surface of it, this seems an excellent idea. It would be interesting to find out more regarding pricing, match availability etc.
