Absolutely, obviously more likely not to get a ticket but hope that whoever is lucky enough to go has a good time

**~~Peevemor~~** · 14-05-2021 10:35 AM

As others have said, the clubs are on a hiding to nothing. Good luck to those waiting for the draw. Here's hoping that we all have something to celebrate a week tomorrow.

I wonder if you’ll be able to enter the ballot in pairs - so you go with someone you know, rather than just individual tickets.

I think loads of folk would love a ticket if they could go with a mate/son/daughter/parent but wouldn’t want to go on their own.

I hope that’s part of the entry conditions - if you’re picked out and have named a companion, both get tickets.

If they don’t do something like this it’s going to be an administrative nightmare.

Folk won’t want to just write off the possibility of going with their family etc but the chances of 2 people getting tickets are slim. There could be loads of folk picked who don’t take up the option based on having to go alone.

As long as both are season holders 2 per ballot winner makes perfect sense.

**Juniper Greens** · 14-05-2021 10:36 AM

I wonder if tickets will have to be used by the named individual. For instance, if you knew someone desperate to go as they missed out in 2016, would you be able to give them your ticket?
I suspect for track and trace etc, they will be IDing on the door

Well said.

I'd love to be there. It is what it is though. If I get a ticket I'll be ecstatic, if I don't I'll still enjoy the day and hope those who do get to go do likewise.

Only clown here is you mate! No one has gone to any games this season. In a normal season I’d agree with you but everyone of us has sat at home this season. Get over it.

The away season ticket is proving a controversial one. I go to 80-90 percent of away games due to where I live the ones when I don't attend are usually the popular ones, livi, tynecastle, this is where I make the choice to not be guaranteed a ticket. To assume people who don't have an ast don't go to away games or show loyalty when the only people who benefit from it are the individuals is a dangerous path to go down

An AST doesn’t suit me, but I’ll go to away games as often as I can - definitely not as many as a load of other folk, but more than a handful a season (obviously not this season).

Sean’s post on this thread is excellent as well.

I have sympathy for people in Baldy’s position, there’s no question of his commitment to watching Hibs and I can understand the fear of missing out, but i think in this situation everyone’s making/made sacrifices and usual rules don’t apply.

I heard the singing section have been allocated 50 seats together.

Are people genuinely throwing their toys out the pram over who gets priority? You'd think the last 15 or so months would put things in perspective

The club has run a scheme, which costs money to administer, to make your life easier following all the games you're fortunate enough to attend.
They've cut out any stress for you chasing up small allocation games and for an absolute one off game in a season like no other you're going to chuck your toys out of the pram if you don't get preference above 12000 other fans who have paid and watched the same football as you this season.
You need to have a think about things tbh

So minus players/hospitality that's 230 Cup final tickets between ( I'm going to estimate 7000 will register to be in the ballot)

... Hoping to Win two golden tickets together might be a tad optimistic.

Yep, I suspect you're right. 1 in 40 then

The last time I was in a ballot for Hibs tickets was yonks ago, it was for a cup game against Cowdenbeath in 1993 I think. Anyway, I got a ticket for that one so hopefully I haven't used up all my luck!

Stenhousemuir, wasn't it? I got one

I'm not chucking my toys out of the pram. AST wouldn't have worked due to shortage of tickets.

Fortunate to attend, really?

**Kaff** · 14-05-2021 10:44 AM

Just email from Hibs and got excited, but it's push for renewals!!

**~~660~~** · 14-05-2021 10:44 AM

If there was a loyalty system this would be straightforward. The away season ticket was brought in to partially replace a loyalty points system and ensure those who go to every game get a ticket. For some unknown reason, it’s not applying to this game. BF is right and I don’t see why someone who has a season ticket and never goes to away games should be treated the same as someone who literally goes to every game.

Yes, I corrected myself further on.

No even going to bother, we've just decided to make a day of it in the house, get some drinks and food ordered and hopefully watch the team win the cup.

That's what I'm hoping 11,000 other people decide to do on Monday.

**hibby rae** · 14-05-2021 10:46 AM

Tbh if Hibs sought our thoughts on donating them to key workers, or to underprivilged families, I'd be all for that.

I'd think it would be a really great thing to do.

***jeffers*** · 14-05-2021 10:46 AM

I know it’s not been announced but does anyone think a requirement of being able to attend would be having valid photo id ?

Imagine so, as a track and trace system maybe

Yea so would I.

Then you come on here and get people crying over why they deserve a ticket more than others

Ought to give themselves a shake

“those who go to every game get a ticket”

Everyone has been to the same amount of games this season.

What about someone who goes to as many away games as them but chooses not to have an ast for personal reasons? The ast was not to replace the loyalty scheme, it was an option to make things easier for the supporters who wanted it.
