Okay it is our most significant income, by a margin. I’m sure we have other bits of commercial, TV, merchandise and PPV but this year, our season ticket money is largely what we have to keep us going.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Season tickets are by far the biggest income stream we have this season.

Hi Andy. Yes, these are all reasonable concerns but how I see it is...
If we go for the full on Season Ticket, as per this season, the numbers sold will drop massively. Quite a few posters on here have already said they wouldn't be willing to pay as much a second time with no guarantee of getting to see games in person.
So, with that in mind, it's not really a case of comparing any income from this proposal to the current level of income, as (IMO) we just won't match that a second time.
With regard to converting to a full Season Ticket: The Season Ticket (card) would already be sent out to the 'Member', so we wouldn't have to do that again.
The difficult part would be in people paying the remainder of the money, which is a logistical challenge. However, there are supporters that have vast amounts of experience doing stuff like this that would consider giving their time free of charge, if the need arose, e.g. I'd be happy to do just that.
There's also the option for supporters that are in a comfortable financial position, and willing to do so, to take on an extra option where they pay the full amount of a Season Ticket. This could be added as an option on the Season Ticket purchase page on the web-site. They would (obviously) then be removed from the list of Members required to pay extra when supporters are allowed back in stadiums.
I realise there are lots of other potential issues not yet discussed, but I think this proposal could be used as a starting point and we could work our way round the many 'corner cases' in a reasonable way.

If Ron is handing us another very large chunk of money then that's lovely, we haven't heard of that.
There just isn't another way that we can go from a position of losing money in a normal year, to losing a big chunk of our income and also be able to go the whole season not touching our main source of income.

Do you know how much we get in TV revenue each season combined from the league, Scottish cup and league cup? And prize money from each of those competitions combined? I'd suggest if we didn't have that each year our wage bill would be a lot lower.Last edited by Since90+2; 10-01-2021 at 12:04 PM.

That almost pays for 2 first team players on £3000 a week for an entire season.

As Ron Gordon has put in place a loan facility would it not be possible for there to be some arrangement where the loan is activated, but only to be used if ST money cannot be accessed -ie it's a nominal debt but will not be needed in the likely event ST money can be used?
Seems a complicated way of doing it but might explain the info people have picked up?

In any case, what I’m saying is that there’s zero chance we aren’t touching season ticket money. In an ordinary year we lose money or just about break even. That’s having used it all.
I don’t see any way other than someone handing us upwards of £4m that this would be the case.
Of all the unlikely things I’ve heard on here, this is up there.

One thing that Hibs should consider refunding is the difference between Silver/Gold tiers. People have paid different amounts to watch the game in the exact same way ie on the telly.

Another consideration for me will be whether the club follows through with its intention to increase the cost of my season ticket by around 20% for the second year in a row.
I'd like to think that will be paused.

I'm not sure how they'd calculate a refund given they've provided access to the games live on TV as a substitute.
I can't see refunds being enforced, I'm not sure who would enforce it either.Mon the Hibs.

Difficult to enforce a refund though when we knew at the time of buying that we wouldn't be able to attend all the games and there was a risk that we couldn't attend any. Caveat emptor.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I bought one Adult and two Youths tickets, so quite a few questions arise from that:
Would I get money back based on my total spend or just on my Adult ticket?
Or, would they work out PPV times three (one for each of us that watched the game) and then calculate the refund based on that?
Also, would the refund be based on all nineteen games or just the ones that were only available on HibsPass (as some people also had paid subscriptions on TV channels so would, in effect, be paying twice).

Should be a membership, direct debit monthly payment. Id join then as long as games online.
12 month payments or one off would be good. Money all year round for Hibs.Cougars!!!
