Since all ST holders will be getting all home games for free on Hibs TV does that mean we won't be selling many more STs? Just about everyone who might have bought a ST will know someone who's already got one and can therefore watch the home games 'for free' with their ST holding mate. Doesn't this mean that we won't be selling many more STs now?

I never renew early and financially I have a lot on my plate at present.
I still fully intend to renew but it’s just not something I’ve got round to.
This is the case for me pretty much every year and I’ve had a ST for 20+ years.
I’m sure there will be more like me. Sometimes you need a signing, a friendly or just a hope that you’ll see a game in the flesh soon to step up and but it. Without all of that, 8000 tickets by this stage is a truly phenomenal achievement.

As tamig has stated, we'll be able to attend games in person at some point in the (hopefully) near future and the ST guarantees my seat.
As dp00 highlights, in our household we've four ST so you do feel we're losing out needing only one to watch the game.
I suppose my purchasing of four STs was to give Hibernian FC some money that is much needed at this difficult time for all. It's difficult for many business to plan for the future when they don't know what sort of income is coming their way. If it helps Hibernian FC recruit a better quality of player, then I'll be happy.

Interesting. Households with more than one ST could quite easily allow a mate (non ST) or whatever to log on to the stream.

I'm nearly 74 and have lung disease (COPD).
I was not intending to renew my season ticket, since it's pretty unlikely that I'll be back at ER until there is a vaccine.
I will now renew, so I can see the games (without resorting to a dodgy stream )

Once crowds are allowed back in to Easter Road it is likely to be season ticket holders only for a period of time so anyone now choosing not purchase a ST should take that into account.

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to take out a Hibs TV subscription than go the whole hog and buy a Season Ticket?

OK I get it now, thanks.
For some reason I presumed there was an option to see live TV games without a Season Ticket.

I find it incredible that we have sold over 8,000 season tickets with the knowledge that we have no idea when or even IF we will get back to Easter Road to watch the Hibees. It is probably even more incredible when you think back to the days of Mogadon Miller when only 5,000 ish bought season tikets with the knowledge they WOULD be going to watch Hibs

Who wants to watch Hibs at Murrayfield though?
And how does it make financial sense to rent that stadium while leaving our own stadium empty?
Socially distanced attendance at football matches sounds pretty awful to me, but if it happens the emotional pull of ER might help fans overlook the hassle of queuing and lack of atmosphere.
I just think that watching league football at a 1/5 capacity Murrayfield will be a poor experience, but a reasonable exception might be made for the cup semi final as a one off.

As for the atmosphere, I guess you only go to the big games at ER, because the rest of the time we don't have an atmosphere.
Hibs fans who have paid for a season ticket (8000+), have also the right to go and watch them, no matter the stadium we use in the short term!
Oh and btw, I use to go and watch the Scottish Claymores at Murrayfield when they were getting 10000 at the games! And the atmosphere was brillant!Last edited by The_Sauz; 10-06-2020 at 02:32 AM.

Yep, I've been wondering where the people complaining about having to watch Hibs in 'soulless Murrayfield' normally go to games.
If Easter Road with ~15,000 fans can often be lacking in atmosphere, can you imagine what it would be like with only 5,000 fans scattered around the ground.
I'm struggling to see how playing a game at Murrayfield in front of ~15,000 fans would be 'soulless' in comparison to that

Sitting at home knowing you can't get to go to the game because there's not enough capacity at Easter Road is what I would call soulless.

If the club used Murrayfield, the capacity would be ~16,500, meaning they could sell individual match tickets.
That would go a long way to paying the rental of the stadium, and also reward those who bought Season Tickets by allowing them to attend every home game (during that phase of games).
I'd call that a win-win.
