Let’s sell out!

[St.Kristopher]

So our allocation has been cut. Doncaster has stated we will get more if we sell out. So let’s do it and do it fast. I often see gigs and events supposedly selling in less than 30mins. If we can do likewise, it makes a mockery of the decision…if we don’t (despite the sporting integrity stuff), it simply plays into the leagues narrative and decision making.

Ron asked on the Strong Opinion Hibs pod for fans to attend; let’s give him his wish. He has pony upped for us. Let’s do the same for him.

Doncaster hasn't said how many more, it will probably be a couple of hundred.

[St.Kristopher]

Yup...lets sell out though.

I don't think theres any danger of us not selling out. If its 2 per season ticket holder (which has been suggested it may be on here but not confirmed) then we will likely sell these out on the first day of sales and if not then the second day.

They can't have 2 per season ticket holder as the allocation is not big enough for everyone to get two?

That is impossible due to our ST numbers.

On present ticket allocation, it is 1 per ST and the remainder on public sale.

11,000 season tickets holders; two each

17,500 tickets available


Can you see the problem?

Easy solution though.
ST holders get the chance to buy two tickets until 11,000 tickets have been sold. Thereafter ST holders can only buy one. When deadline date passes, what is left goes on publlc sale, so the slow-to-react ST holders get their chance to buy a second ticket.
Ideally, those who attended the SF would get priority over those who have attended a few matches at ER this season who in turn would get priority over folk who have not been to a game at all this season, but how many priorities and deadlines can you have?

[JimBHibees]

The numbers sit perfectly for timing half season tickets to get final ticket makes no sense not to do this imo.

[adam middlemass]

There are 3 season ticket holders in my group, I would like to be able to get another ticket for my daughter who doesn’t get to many games now for family reasons, we would only want the one extra, so there is 2 spare in this one transaction if you know what I mean. I don’t think every season ticket holder will take the extra one. But in all honesty, all the fans who were at Sunday’s semi, and gave the boys fantastic backing deserve, even if they aren’t season ticket holders, to be at this final ! 👍 ggtth.

I'm the same as you not every ticket holder will take two tickets there will be some left over afterwards I bet.

And if there isn't season ticket holders will miss out. Too big a risk.

[gaz1875]

They could offer 2 per season ticket subject to availability on the extra tickets, there will still be plenty to go around. Not every season holder will be going (I know a couple) and not every season ticket holder needs an extra ticket. With the ticket prices so high its not like people will buy tickets just in case a mate was thinking of going, like I did for the semi final.

[Carheenlea]

Really can’t believe that ST holders will be able to buy two per ST. Makes no sense at all.

Surely some misinformation.

[pollution]

All ifs and buts. Let's wait and see. I am still recovering from the £60 per ticket false info.

[Since452]

17500 tickets? I think it'll be more a case of people missing out than us not selling out!

[GreenCastle]

Would they guarantee x1 per ST holder then have a ballot if ST holders wanted x2 tickets ?

Plus not every ST holder would want x2 tickets.

Meaning some who went sunday may miss out? One per season ticket and then a public sale is the fair way

Season ticket holders get 1 each, any non season ticket holder with a stub for the semi final gets 1 and the rest go to public sale, it's a no brainer. Any other solution is unfair imo.

AST's shouldn't be anywhere in the equation and the club will be going down a slippery slope if they go with that one.

Of course they should. They will get 1 ticket through being part of the AST scheme. All of them are also full season ticket holders so don’t see your issue

And it’s already been confirmed with payments for AST being taken today

As long as they don't get 2, I maybe worded it wrongly.

[Jones28]

This is the first time I’m genuinely concerned about not getting a ticket. Thanks Neil.

[Lee Marvin]

Season ticket x 1 then public sale/ballot is only way to do this.

Unfortunately so many regular attendees (this season and historic) are going to miss out.

It's an absolute disgrace

Edit: maybe you could do those who have bought a ticket to ER this season first?? (I have a season ticket btw)

[TamHibs]

It’s two per season ticket

Announcement from the club should be today or tomorrow but it’s 100% two per season ticket

We have been allocated 17500 tickets.

We have 11000 ST holders

2 x STs is 22000

While I wont disagree with your confidence in this announcement, just how does that arithmetic add up?

I don’t know the ins and outs of the thinking behind the decision, I just know it’ll be two per ST

Our away season ticket payments are getting taken today and the club usually make the announcements for the season ticket holder sales the same day/day after

Not every ST will take a ticket, and not all of those that do will take 2 tickets. I think we'd be safe enough promising each ST holder 2 tickets but I still think it'll be 1 per ST holder.
