Good to see

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Good move.

[wookie70]

Seems like a decent system. If it works hopefully they roll it out for all games.

[TheGreenMan]

Finally. Hopefully everyone who can't attend uses this. Get the seats filled!

[Pete]

Really good idea which sound simple.

Please be simple...

[BlackSheep]

Good work hibs, shows it isn’t rocket science to achieve what many of us have been debating for a while now.

It can only work for sold out games.

Am I the only one thinking a token gesture to fans giving up their seats in place for a ten pounds shop voucher wouldn't feel to much to ask for. The fact hibs would be getting double seat money

I’d rather the money went to fund the squad tbh. Sorry.

Opinions.

Just a thought. Don't see why season ticket holders asked to give up a ticket to get full houses. Yes demand is fantastic but fans have forked up hard earned cash monthly or up front. A ten quid voucher for going back into the club is just a suggestion. Sorry

[Just Alf]

Me too 100%

That said they've clearly said that that element would be up for consideration in future.

Just need to wait and see

No need to apologise. Maybe something to consider I suppose as it is extra cash...are there any similar clubs who have a scheme like that?

Why hold a season ticket if you are not going to attend games?

They don't deserve anything. If they can't attend the game that is not the clubs fault so why should the club lose out on things like vouchers etc. Nonsense.

Aye ok pal. I am a season ticket holder and if I pumped £400 into my club and never attended one game it wouldn't make blind bit difference to hibs so get of your soap box

This ticket exchange literally takes 5 clicks of a mouse. Why should there be an incentive for that? It's only if you are not going to attend which in return allows the club to release the seat for re-sale which equals more cash in the clubs pockets.

As a ST holder who doesn’t make every game this scheme is a good start but I agree a £10 voucher if the clubs sells the seat. The club will still be making extra money

So you would want a £10 voucher for releasing your seat (which is a 1 minute job, so it's not like it takes up time from your day) for a game you can't attend anyway?

If you're not going anyway, what difference does it make?

You buy a season ticket at the start of the season in the knowledge that you are committing to buying a seat for each home game that season. If you can't make a game, you have 3 options;

1-Do nothing and the seat remains empty for that game.
2-Give your season ticket to a friend or relative.
3-Allow Hibs to re-sell your season ticket for that match.

There's nothing wrong with any of these options. Obviously it would be great to have your cake and eat it but as a season ticket holder, I certainly don't expect anything in return for giving up my seat for a game that I'm not going to make anyway.

And the fact a season ticket holder has forked money up front why shouldn't they be rewarded.

Not even the price of a full match ticket adult I may add.

You agree the money should stay in the club. I've merely suggested a ten pound voucher not £1000.

£10 voucher for clicking your mouse button 5 times and releasing your seat for a game you can't attend

Because if there’s no incentive then people are going to be less likely to give up their seat, or to make the effort. Pretty basic logic. It’s not really about what’s deserved.

Many like me get season tickets with good intentions but it’s not always feasible to travel long distances to the games.

That said any incentive would need to only apply to sold out games, as giving money back for every game wouldn’t help the club at all.

If people can't be arsed taking a minute out of their day to release a seat that is poor.

That’s still £10 less for the club...

In my case, if I’m not attending I generally wouldn’t release the ticket because I’d look for one of my friends or family to take it beforehand. With a small incentive it might change my mind.

[Vini1875]

Well done to the club. It is what many have been asking for. Particularily for games like Friday, when all sorts of folk are asking for one spare ticket.

So if you couldn’t find a friend or relative to take your seat you would hold on to it just because you don’t get anything in return?

You’d likely spend more time asking friends or relatives if they wanted it and the even more time getting your ST to them, than it would take to release it back to the club so they could benefit from it... after all every penny counts to the club.

I feel more value for my money if it’s someone I know enjoying the ticket that I’ve paid for. And people flip-flop with plans generally up until the last minute a lot of the time when I’m offering it out.
