Season ticket sales

There is no source attributed to that number, however, less than a month before last season started Hibs stated they had sold over 10,000 season tickets.
A hell of a jump from that to over 12,000.

The article you refer to is actually dated 8 weeks before our first home game. I am not saying you are wrong but it is possible that another 2000 season tickets were sold. I thought the figure last year was 11500, I wonder if the 12100 figure includes hospitality?

So where are the Sources attributed to the figures you plucked out the sky in your earlier post copied below?


“Pretty sure we sold 11,300 season tickets last season and we are in the middle of a cost of living crisis so selling 11,600 for this season would be a result and near 11,900 remarkable.”

11,300 was the figure given by someone posting on here who had asked staff in the ticket office.

We never seem to get straight numbers about anything at Hibs these days. Everything is kept vague be it season ticket numbers or how much we paid for Youan.
I think it would be useful to tell us how many season tickets we have sold. Like the old Blue Peter totaliser it might get a bit of interest going and encourage purchases if we saw the numbers released and creeping up every week between now and the 1st game.

I get you. It was 4 weeks to the League Cup games but 8 weeks to the first League game.
However, If anything the league cup campaign would have put off the switherers so highly unlikely 2,000 would have purchased in that time.
Maybe that fall off in sales was why we weren't told how many we had sold at any time in that last few weeks.
I think your right about hospitality being added as well as half season tickets although the latter should only be counted as a half in the numbers.

It would be great if Hibs could tell us straight numbers but spin to control the narrative seems to be the norm.

The amount we've spent on players has always been vague, Hibs have never come out and said yep we've signed Eduardo Hurtado and it cost us £25.92

Hearts have reduced the away ticket allocation to 650. Not for us, obvs.

I’m sure I can remember Douglas Cromb announcing, if we did not manage to get crowds of at least 9000 in that coming season, that we would be in danger of folding. So the crowds post 2016 have been both phenomenal and not simply a short term reaction.

[cabbageandribs1875]

*all fans of sides visiting tinycastle next season will be getting just one section

that'll be some ticket scramble for the gruesome twosome


*apart from Hibs and the "gentlemen's agreement"

Of course, I mean why would we confirm figures about what we're paying for players? Or indeed, what we are paying them ?

With the likes of season ticket sales, I'm sure we could be giving fairly regular updates, although I'm not really that bothered myself, but it could be marketed using targets?

Are Hibs really any different from other Scottish clubs when it comes to their financial doings, I doubt it?

Anyway, it all gives us the chance to engage in the high quality blether on here.

£15 for the Inter Club/Vikingur game is very reasonable.

I see Aberdeen have just announced they’ve just passed 12k ti jet sales (regular, hospitality and partnership tickets). Does anyone know if the last figure we were given was just regular tickets or did it include hospitality etc too?

[Gatecrasher]

The only thing I'd question is that hibs are normally shouting on social media when sales go well and we've not heard a peep from them.

That's incredible numbers from Aberdeen. To go from having never sold over 10k season tickets to over 12k is quite a leap.

Never understood how a team like Aberdeen have historically had such poor season ticket sales. Zero football competition up there.

Certainly close to if not over 12000 and that excludes hospitality and the the 2 end sections of the FF which appear to be closed for sales. I included them in my figures for seats available. There are about 1800 left in the East and West again excluding hospitality. If my figures are right we are doing very well all things considered. It would be interesting to get an update from the club about sales

Aberdeen isn't a particularly big place.

Yes there are surrounding towns and villages as well as the city but the wider area is actually a relatively small population compared to Edinburgh and it's similar surrounding areas.

Edit - realise ive quoted the wrong post from above.

I will answer though 😁
The population of Aberdeen is about 220000 not including the towns in the area. The nearest top league team is 60 miles away in Dundee. Glasgow is about 150 miles away. Hibs have 8 premiership teams within 60 miles including the 2 Glasgow teams. That helps with having locals supporting them

That’s great numbers. Any idea why end sections of FF aren’t available to buy?

To be honest I have no idea other than nobody actually sits there. I would let Block 7 or whatever they are called now have the section closest to the East from this season. It will take be back to the days of the cave

At some point during the season the building work to join up the FF and East will start and they don't want to have to move season ticket holders?

I find it very unusual that there hasn't been any information forthcoming on how many season tickets we've actually sold.

Just did a quick count of the West stand. It has 890 left excluding hospitality. That’s roughly 4250 sold there. As I am on the train from Peterborough and bored out my skull I will count the other stands and add to here as I go
Famous five stand has 640 seats available. That would mean have sold roughly 2560
East stand has 735 seats available so sold about 5700
That is a total of 12500. If those figures are correct I am surprised the club are saying nothing

I admire your efforts in dot counting but I can't imagine we have sold 2500+ for the famous 5, is that a similar amount to previous years?

No idea to be honest. We can only go on the blue dots that are still there, add on about 700 and subtract from the seats in the stand. It might be less have been sold there but it’s difficult to know without having the full details of what has been shut off in the FFL. Apart from one section in the FFU sales are quite good

Did you not say the other day that both side of the FF were closed

Yes, it appears as if the side sections of the FFL are not available as they re not showing for sale, that’s why you have to take about 700 off the potential sales. I emailed Hibs earlier to see if we can get a definitive figure of how many have been sold
