    That wasn’t cheap either if I remember correctly, however that Barca team was one of the best teams ever assembled and featured one of the best players to ever play the game.

    I think Hibs may have misjudged this a little bit......

    Seriously how many people had the chance to put their hand up and say £26 is way out? Given the support the fans have given over the last year this is bordering on the indefensible.

    Cant remember how much we paid to watch Barca humping us at Murrayfield but £26 is a bit steep, will there be an option on Hibs TV seeing as it's limited in numbers.

    They will sell the 2k tickets so they’ll think it’s absolutely fine.

    It’s ridiculous given what the support has contributed in the last year and a bit.

    If they’ve misjudged the pricing then shouldn’t be a problem.

    Think it’s fine myself, go or don’t go really.

    £26 to watch a glorified training session is an utter disgrace considering what season ticket holders have done for the club over the past year.

    Hibs should be embarrassed with this decision.

    Was it not mentioned somewhere he's stepping down, or was that wishful thinking on my part.

    Back to Arsenal game, how come Hampden and Murrayfield had quarter capacity but we get a tent, who worked that out?

    The restrictions on numbers will definitely have been a factor in the price. Had we been able to get 4000 I doubt it would have been as high as £26. Won't affect me either way as I'm on holiday next week, but doubt I'd have forked out £26 for a kick about with Arsenal's reserve team.

    I think it's too much, but it's not aimed at me as i wont be going anyway to watch roughly 40 players stroll around for 90 mins.

    That was a fake account in his name that announced he was leaving.

    100% agree with this! Was really looking forward to trying to get tickets for this as well. Not bothering now.

    26 quid is very expensive for a friendly against a mid table Premier League side. I hope the first come first serve isn't a sign of what is to come for league games. For all the good work over the last few years ticketing and distribution of tickets is still a weak point imo. I think we will sell 2000 tickets easy enough but there should have been some form of ballot. When was the last time a season ticket never guaranteed entrance to a Hibs home game. It is an opportunity missed to try out any contingency for reduced attendances.

    Don’t see how league games can be first come first serve if there’s over 10k with a ST. It’ll be a ballot most likely similar to what hearts are doing for league cup games

    Should have been £15 and at least 5K fans allowed in. It’ll sell out in minutes though.

    I hope you are right. If it will be a ballot then why not trial it tonight. We have been a shambles for games where demand exceeds supply and it seems mad not to have a practise.

    Probably having to cover Arsenals costs and hoping a 5000 crowd at £15 a head would be attractive. Trying to raise same revenue from just 2000 fan means higher ticket price to break even possibly
    And facing additional staff costs to be Covid compliant.

    Total own goal by Hibs here. So fans will basically cover the cost of games with smaller attendances despite paying on average £350 per season ticket last season for 18 live games on TV, some of which were already on Sky.

    Aye right Hibs, nice one.

    Ouch. That is crazy. Plus it's likely to be a poor Arsenal team.

    100% this. A total embarrassment. Club don’t want to lose money, can’t get Govt to budge so default is get the fans to pick up the tab. Pathetic. If we are paying that they sign some decent quality players then not mid to low table players. Can’t have it both ways.

    Fortunately, they have been signing decent quality players since 2014.

    Said it time and time again , despite reknewing my season ticket I’ve been pretty disappointed in Hibs and how they have treated the support that’s stood by them. I’m not asking them to do a Motherwell however we 100% could have done more

    Someone has to pay the players and stuff. Hibs didn’t ask for Covid.

    I don’t really expect them to take any further hits in the name of repaying loyalty.

    If it sells out quickly, which it will, then they’ve pitched it about right.

    For folk saying Hibs probably have to charge £26 in order to cover the costs of the the game, do you think if there were double the number of fans allowed in that the tickets would have been half the price?

    £26 for a friendly is expensive.

    BUT

    How many extra staff would Hibs have to employ to have fans in attendance?

    If we don't cover the additional costs of this game, then do we take the money out our player budget?
    Or play it behind closed doors?

    With a 2k crowd, I think Hibs have no good options.

    If I was offered a job and it wouldn't even cover my expenses, I wouldn't do it.
