Extra 900 tickets for Rijeka match.

**AugustaHibs** · 03-08-2021 12:16 PM

Thought I’d start a new thread as it may get lost in the previous one.

Does this mean that people successful in the initial ballot have already been told?

Nope. No one has been told yet, although some now seeing money going out of their bank accounts. Think the extra 900 now bundled into the draw.

Hibs have said those successful should hear by tomorrow lunchtime, at latest.

This is from the official twitter account

We can confirm an expanded 5,600 capacity for Thursday's #UECL tie with HNK Rijeka. The extra 900 tickets will be allocated from the existing opt-in ballot, which closed on Monday. There is no new process to apply. Fans who are successful will be notified by Wednesday lunch.

By tomorrow lunch time? What a ****ing joke. People’s lives don’t revolve around football and deserve more than 30 hours notice

Not sure if this means the extra 900 or all 5600. I've not been informed yet whether i was successful.

**AugustaHibs** · 03-08-2021 12:23 PM

I can’t tell though if the first 4500 will still find out today, and the extra 900 tomorrow. Or all tomorrow?

**BegbieHSC** · 03-08-2021 12:25 PM

I’ve not had an email, but Hibs just took money out my bank account, so assume that that’s good news!

***offshorehibby*** · 03-08-2021 12:25 PM

Just checked bank and i've had my 2 tickets taken from my account.

**Hibee Mac** · 03-08-2021 12:28 PM

Why do we need to wait until Wednesday lunch time to find out? Seems a needless delay, bit of a joke not knowing if you're going to a game until the day before

**St Pauli Hibee** · 03-08-2021 12:31 PM

Money taken out of my account today as well, but no confirmation as of yet

***BoomtownHibees*** · 03-08-2021 12:32 PM

Money out and ticket showing in account history on the ticketing site

If you are successful the money will come out your account before you are officially notified. You can also view the allocated seats in your online account

***Hibby70*** · 03-08-2021 12:33 PM

Wonder how many applied and how unlucky I've actually been :(

***hibee_girl*** · 03-08-2021 12:36 PM

Money taken from my bank as well

**Onceinawhile** · 03-08-2021 12:36 PM

No money coming out as of yet...

I would guess you've got about a 50/50 chance.

***RyeSloan*** · 03-08-2021 12:39 PM

Oh money taken from mine as well…excellent!

You know when you buy something online and the verification screen comes up and the system takes about half a minute dialing up the bank? Multiply that by a few thousand. It takes time, even if you're doing a few in parallel. Then there's the mass ticket generation and email (which probably takes less time than the bank verification guff), and then Hibs will add on a buffer of time to cope with unforseen technical glitches. Not having done this ballot before, or at least not recently, there's a chance this stuff will break and they want to give themselves some leeway to fix it before folks jam the phone lines to complain.

Same luck as me, looking like I missed out. I’m not bothering with a lottery ticket either.

***CapitalGreen*** · 03-08-2021 12:57 PM

Looks like I’ll be watching it in the safe environment of a crowded boozer instead of the unsafe environment of outdoors in the fresh air.

**Hibs90** · 03-08-2021 01:02 PM

How many did Hearts have for their game on Saturday out of interest?

No danger we are going back to full capacity next week.

Well it looks like he was right given what has just been announced.

****ing farce!

5700 limited capacity but they expect full capacity in the matter of a week to two

**nellio** · 03-08-2021 01:16 PM

Looks like I've missed out as well.

**tmb1875** · 03-08-2021 01:17 PM

Don’t know if it’s been asked before but why are Hibs only using west and east stand to house fans? Surely the council are not telling us which stands we can or cannot use?

***BlackSheep*** · 03-08-2021 01:20 PM

Really disappointed in this whole situation.

Looking like i haven't bagged a ticket in the ballot, no cash taken and no ticket showing in my account. Hopefully i manage to get one in the additional 900.

I've not missed a game for a long time and it will be strange not being there on Thursday and watching at home, knowing fans are allowed back in small numbers.

I was going solo for Thursday as well so hoped that applying for 1 ticket would help... but obvs not.

Let's hope the numbers are increased very soon.... I've had a taste of being back in the stands this season and it'll be a hard pill to swallow every time i'm unsuccessful in a ballot.
