I have purchased a Season ticket as I have done for many a year, but I understand that we all can’t do this for several reasons.
If, say, when fans are allowed to return, I would like a percentage of those fans to be non season ticket holders. If say for example we were allowed 7000 in to begin with, 2000 of these places should go to non season ticket holders. The circumstances at present are unfortunate for all of us and those that simply aren’t in a position to lay out a large sum of money all at once, should not miss out. This of course would also generate much needed additional income to our club which I’m sure would be much appreciated.

Non season ticket holders should get to see their team too.

Can you imagine the uproar if you've got 10,000 ST holders and then say that 50% of them are not going to be allowed entry, then they realise that 2,000 of the 7,000 places are going to non-ST holders.
Not going to happen!

There should be some allowances made for walk ups if possible

I do think I should be able to buy the games online though until people are going back to ground. I will pay my share even if it is overpriced.Cougars!!!

I say this having spent the price of a season ticket many times over following Hibs last season and currently funding 2 season tickets. Buying the games online would be huge.

This bit in bold is correct.
However the club are not going to tell a ST holder who has shelled out £400 that they cant come to watch the game but someone paying £22 for that match can.
Like it or not, ST holders are the bedrock of the clubs annual income.
This idea is a non starter

I've been supportive of the deadlines being extended and I actually feel today's deadline should be extended again until we have the fixtures published.
However once fans are allowed, if the numbers are restricted then it HAS to only be season ticket holders who are allowed in. Once all season ticket holders are back then we can look at non season ticket holders.
What I do agree with is that the closed door games should be available for non season ticket holders to buy on a game by game basis and should cost the same price as an adult walk up price did for the same game last season (Dundee Utd should be category B pricing).

I don't see a problem with selling the streamed games at £22/£25 a game and let everyone without a season ticket pay-per view. I already watch some Hibs away games on pay-per-view through NOW TV and this is only £6/£8. We should also be able to watch away game streams at a high price - all money for the clubs.

How about building a giant screen at Leith Links and live streaming the home games to walk-ups.

But I am hoping that hibs announce some sort of package so we can buy ‘tickets’ to watch the games.

Would rather those who have stepped forward to support the club in the most difficult circumstances are rewarded with access to any future games 100% of the time ahead of any walk up. That's why you buy a Season Ticket. If you don't buy a Season Ticket and you don't get to see the games for a while, I am afraid that was your choice.

The conditions will dictated how many fans are permitted in the the stadium when fans are finally allowed to return. If we are playing at ER and 1 metre distance is applied then that more or less covers our 10000 ST holders. That would be fair.
However, Leeann Dempster has said our preference would be to go to Murrayfield in these circumstances. That being the case then there would be more than enough space for ticket sales to anyone that wanted them.
Personally, I believe that the priority is all about catering fir home support. Until that is satisfied there should be no consideration given to away fans

Would it be possible for season ticket holders, who can't go to all the games for whatever reason to inform the ticket office and sell to say a waiting list of fans who wish to buy a ticket. It would maximize income from the games when fans are allowed back.

I would imagine that Hibs have a limit set on the number of STs available (90% of home capacity?).
Why not apply the same ratio to restricted attendances, ie. 90% STs & 10% walk-ups.
STs are important but walk ups bring in vital cash throughout the season.
