    There goes any savings from 5 game package as one of the games included is part of this.

    Understand they are trying to shift tickets but just means the package is pointless especially as you get no priority tickets with it either.

    Flash sales are the order of the day on black Friday. Seems reasonable to me that we use that to boost sales a bit.

    If you buy a flight and then the price goes down I just take that stone of the breaks.

    Already paid the money upfront so would be pointless.

    If they had given me a final ticket before general sale I'd have been ok about this offer 😁.

    The 5 game package was a good deal.
    Today lads offer is a good deal.

    Both could be claimed diminish the season ticket value.

    Or how about we applaude the club for doing something. As a season ticket holder I welcome both these deals if it gets more folk in.

    This type of thing happens in American sports so could be a sign of things to come. Its like buying something before Christmas then finding it half price in boxing day sales.

    As a season ticket holder don't have any issue with selling more tickets like this. Bit of initiative I would say and may encourage more to attend longer term.

    I am pretty sure the 5 game offer is still more per game than a season ticket price.

    Think mine was average of £27.00 per game. Something like that.

    I agree. I’m fortunate that I can get a season ticket every season but appreciate not everyone can. Happy if it means a few more fans there for these games

    At this time of year with our fixture list it's a great initiative.
    Should make these games affordable to quite a few people who otherwise would struggle.

    If it sells tickets then good. I tend to see my ST purchase differently from any other purchase I make. More like a donation to charity or a cause I support.

    All things considered it is a good decision.
    Hope they at least break even on it.
    i.e. a loss on the walk ups who would have attended without the deal against the walk ups who take advantage of the deal plus extra catering, shop sales etc.
    The only fly in the ointment i can think of is if it is an offer only available to Hibs supporters and Livi and Dundee fans buy tickets for the Hibs end and attend minus colours.
    Upside is folk who wouldn't have otherwise attended, visitors to Edinburgh, students, folk interested in football, parents deciding to take their kids along because it is relatively cheap etc etc.
    There will be thousands of seats doing nothing for these games so hopefully we can fill a few and improve the atmosphere.

    Good initiative by Hibs. Not everyone is in a financial position to buy a season ticket or a 5 game package for that matter, so if it helps people at a difficult time of the year then all good.

    Great from Hibs - cant believe there are people actually pissing and moaning about this. The club can honestly never do right for some people it seems.

    Was it only a £12 saving? I thought it was more than that.

    I'm pretty sure it was only £10.00 saved in total.

    As a season ticket holder, I welcome this. Anything to get more fans in is a plus.

    In principle, I think it's a great thing and as a season ticket holder, it doesn't bother me that folk can pick up seats cheaper.

    I would be quite happy that Hibs did this for every "non-premium" game

    I think the guy above with the 5 game package has a point though, but as I don't know who the 3 or 5 game packages were against, my following comments may be a moot point, if there are games against "premium" teams such as Hearts, The Rangers, Celtic or Aberdeen in there, then I would view it as the price of seeing these "more attractive" fixtures as part of a package

    If it was all games against "non-premium" teams then it is definitely IMO devaluing that 3 or 5 game package and they need to be careful both in terms of future uptake and pissing folk off.

    No issues from me as a ST holder.

    Do feel a bit sorry for people that bought the 5 game package though. They have gone from being a wee bit better off by paying up front to paying more than if they had just bought each ticket individually. It's devalued that offer and may cause an issue if it's offered again.

    As a ST holder I’m happy with this.

    I can’t see many folk willing to pay the usual 25-30 quid walk-up fee to watch us play livi in the freezing cold, attendances have been poor all season so anything that persuades folk to come support the team I’m all for.

    Didn’t pay much attention to the 5 game package so don’t know what was offered.

    Exactly this

    We surely want to encourage bigger crowds at home games. As a ST holder I have no issues with this at all and happy that my ST rewards me in other ways like today’s priority Cup Final ticket sale
