Hibs need a formal system for releasing unused season tickets

[Since90+2]

Next season the kids season ticket should be increased in price IMO.

Even doubling the price to £50 it would still be fantastic value and maybe we would see a reduction in people getting a £25 ticket and not showing up.

This, too many empty seats.

EPL clubs using Ticketmaster have a formal system that kicks in when the game is offically sold out. You can release your ST seat for sale on the system and receive 30% of the price, if your ticket is sold, towards "club cash" which can be used in a variety of ways, including a credit towards the following seasons ST.

Agree with OP and both these posts.

Either that or cancel your season ticket if you don't make it to X amount of games, or the price increases or something? All for cheap tickets if people use them, but if our crowds continue you could have a situation were adults willing to pay £300+ per season are struggling for decent seats because there are stacks of unused 25 quid kids season tickets.... The huns at home was a near sellout I think and it was half empty, as it is most games.

I assume your cancel season tickets for non attendance would apply to everyone not just family season ticket holders

I think folk are getting a wee bit carried away with 1 season of fantastic crowds. If this was to happen for another couple of seasons then we should look at options. But let’s not be creating disharmony for season ticket holders to benefit some big game only fans who may struggle to get a ticket

Having an option on the online sales site should be set up, I'm not too fussy about getting anything back personally as the club would benefit financially. I'd just prefer the process to be much easier than having to send an email to the club, which may or may not get auctioned depending on how busy they are.

Having a list of the games with a tick box next to it online that can be unchecked for the games you can't attend would be easiest.

There will be a central computer connected to all the turnstiles and the log on the PC will show if a card has or hasn't been swiped in,so they could find out the ones who just buy the kids tickets to get upgraded for their mates for the big games

You do realise that these cheap season tickets have to be bought along with at least one adult season ticket. Increasing the cost for families attending matches would be short sighted to say the least.

Yes I realise that, still think £25 is too cheap though. Even at £50 it would be less than £3 a game which is phenomenal value and easily within the financial reach of the vast vast majority of families.

The other issue is that they are clearly not attending that many matches as shown by the empty seats everyweek.

Is this the case with historic £25 tickets? I'm not sure these were cancelled when the new approach was introduced and could still be getting renewed.

Best idea I've heard on here for a long time

[One Day Soon]

I have a few mates who cannot commit to season tickets just now - working away regularly, family commitments etc. I have no doubt that if we introduced a system that allowed you to resell your seat for any games you were going to miss -and a share of thhat revenue came to you in the form of a discount off next year's season ticket - they would absolutely buy season tickets for next season which they otherwise would not touch.

So, you'd get more bums on seats on match days for atmosphere, the club would pull in more revenue from the re-sales and the club would also sell more season tickets in the first place.

What am I missing?

They wouldn't resell your seat for every game they couldn't make. Only for completely sold out games.

So I should be hit with a £50 increase on my season tickets bill because other people don't show up? An extra £50 On top would probably mean not being able to get my sons' season tickets or my own.
