I can’t see that it would be anything other than seriously damaging to the season ticket proposition if Hibs kept season ticket holders out to accommodate walk-ups. Where’s the incentive to buy next season, there’s supporting the club financially but you’re not going to use that method if you feel your money’s been taken and you’ve not got the service you paid for.

Like it or not, the fact is that ST holders are the ‘premier’ tier of attendees (leaving aside hospitality, who are the real premier). Attendees who don’t commit financially up front for whatever reason are important to the club, just not as important.
I appreciate that there are lots of reasons for not buying a ticket and lots of supporters contribute in other ways btw.

Do we do the same for the next game at Tynie or Hampden? ST's get 90% but keep 10% back for any old random?

I was all set to renew my ST this week but sadly I was made redundant on Tuesday so just cannot fork out for a ST at this time as not going to be easy finding another job in current climate. I would however be willing to pay 20 to 25 quid to watch a live stream for time being

ST holders should always get a layer of priority above non ST holders when demand will or is likely to outstrip supply, and I say that as a non ST holder.

Imagine you paid for a Ryanair flight well in advance and it's now fully booked.
Ryanair then phones you up the day before you're due to fly and says...
"We realise you've paid for your seats a few months back but some of our regular customers got in touch with us yesterday and said they now want to fly.
So we're taking their money, giving them your seats... and you're not getting any money back.
You have to remember, we appreciate the loyalty of our customers.
Have a nice day."

[QUOTE=Peevemor;6224777]This definitely wasn't the case up until I left Edinburgh 16 years ago.
That would only ‘definitely‘ be the case for you or your experience. Plenty buy season tickets each year knowing they are not making 100% of the games and that goes a lot further back than 16 years.
Nice sentiment from the OP by the way but it would start a “loyalty points” type war our that our ticket office, it’s admin and our PR department could never hope to cope with.

The key points are.
Hibs are limited to just under 13,000 streaming codes (by sky)
10,200 season ticket holders will get one each, even when there are multiple holders per household (again, what sky said)
Hibs will have 2,800 remaining codes and likely 10,000 or so people looking for them. Given the fact that season ticket holders have paid £25-30 per game for a code, I'd imagine Hibs will pitch ppv at a similar rate and quite possibly sell about 2,500.
When fans are allowed in, it'll be season ticket holders first. At current guidelines, it might be 50% ST holders one week, 50% the next. When this happens, Hibs will all of a sudden have an extra 5,000 streaming codes available. I would expect these might be sold for something more like £15-if sky allow streaming when some fans are back

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.

Not a season ticket holder and while I appreciate the OP is making a suggestion to help those who couldn't afford a season ticket personally I wouldn't feel comfortable taking the place of someone who's bought one. It's the bedrock of our finances and we need to look after those that commit the cash upfront now more than ever. I empathise with anyone who missed out on a season ticket due to their financial situation but hopefully they're happy the club is in a strong position financially that it will be there when non season ticket holders are allowed back in.

I have every sympathy with the sentiment of the OP there has to be folk out there who are regular ST holders who through no fault of their own just can't commit to buying one just now. The same goes for folk who go to as many games as they can afford during the season but who cant afford a season ticket even with the payment plan, not forgetting folk who can't go to every game because of work or whatever. Nobody can dispute their loyalty to the club.
But the hard truth is that for Hibs, just like every other club, season ticket holders are their lifeblood, they practically have no option other than to put them first and if Murrayfield turns out not to be an option then there wont be anything like enough room we have for the 10,000 we have now with social distancing, never mind walk ups. In short, noble sentiment though it is, there is absolutely no chance that Hibs will bump ST holders to accommodate walk ups.

The club are never going to prioritise PATG over seaaon ticket holders, not a great business decision that. However, if season ticket holders cannot attend a reduced capacity game, or any game really, there needs to be a system in place where a season ticket holder can either gift, or better still, hand back the ticket to that game for Hibs to sell, to ensure that if any PATG supporters want to attend, they can. The thought of a reduced capacity, only for that reduced capacity being 'reduced' further due to no shows would pxxx me right off!.....and i'm a season ticket holder. If i can hand the ticket back to the club for a game, as I normally miss a few a season due to work/family, I'll do that.

I've given this a little more thought and decided, after much deliberation, that it's up there as one of the most stupid ideas ever posted on DotNet (and there's been lots of competition).

Agree this would be the way forward, the only other option is to restrict the sales of ST so there will be space for individual tickets but as, financially, that’s not a great idea and there’s no idea what the initial capacity will be doubt it will happenLast edited by The dalmeny; 04-07-2020 at 08:16 AM.

I'd love to see Easter Road full every game. To the stage we only give the Old Firm half the stand.
