Hibs really do need to clarify if Block 7 are getting tickets reserved.
It’s a simple yes or no.
If the group are members of Hibs First then everything is above board and getting allocated a particular section of away end is fine. If they are simply ST holders, but getting priority over others then it’s 100% not on.
Every ST holder outwith the HF membership deserves an equal chance to buy for what is arguably our biggest away game in a lifetime for many.

To be fair it has been kind of address. Block 7 get priority after other priority members.
The only priority members over and above STH is Hibs First. Ergo, they must be assigned tickets after Hibs First.

In all seriousness, unless they're Hibs First members, it's a huge OG from the club.

Shame the club couldn't just organise a standard loyalty points system, like virtually every other club - rather than trying to fleece as much cash as possible ala hibs first tory scheme
Also a total nonsense if these young boys are getting priority ahead of fans who've followed the team for decades

Maybe we all need to start chucking missiles on to the park and bullying other Hibbies out of their seats if we want priority tickets.

Now we have a new "loyalty" scheme, but it's not the right kind of loyalty scheme.
Honestly, no matter what the club does, they're lambasted for it

Operate a normal loyalty points scheme, like every other club, and I fail to see how anyone could possibly complain
The loyalty points could've been used for both the tie at ER, and the away leg - resulting in a fairer distribution of tickets for all
As it stands, I personally know of 6 people (who were not in Switzerland) who have secured a ticket for Villa Park simply by paying the £50 in the summer. There will likely be hundreds of folk who were in Lucerne who will miss out next week - fair?

It was the club that made a balls up of it, and they're making a huge error of judgement with this secret priority channel that a limited few have access to.
It would be nice if the fans rep could represent the majority of fans on this one, and not be a mouthpiece for the club instead.

The new scheme doesn’t really reward loyalty, it rewards people willing to gamble £50.
Fair play to everyone who did, I certainly wish I did it so I don’t say that with any bitterness, I just don’t think Hibs first necessarily rewards loyalty, it’s a different thing altogether.
I stand to potentially benefit from there being no loyalty scheme as I wouldn’t have as many points as others so it’s a good thing for me but I struggle to understand how so many other similar size and bigger clubs can have a loyalty scheme but Hibs can’t?

A way to sperate the ST holders for this game might have been based on attendance at the previous rounds (home & away)...
HF Members first sale
ST holders that attended all 4 European games previous this season
ST holders that attended 3/4 European games previous this season
ST holders that attended 2/4 European games previous this season
ST holders that attended 1/4 European games previous this season
All remaining ST holders
General Sale
Maybe that's over complicated or a load of old pony, but, it makes sense to me and for reference I'd be in the 4th sale down so even less chance than I have now as I haven't been to an away leg (yet) this season but I do think those who went to both Andorra & Switzerland should be recognised for that.

The allocation for Villa Park is similar in size to our average travelling support. Maybe just over it.
A Loyalty Point system would have ensured the vast majority of the regular attendees would get tickets. Block 7 included.

Aston Villa Away Tickets
There’s a poster on Facebook (Carl Macar) saying that he got his ticket for the home and the away game via Block 7. Make of that what you will

Maybe I’ll no bother joining the AST scheme next year and save £50. I’ll just join block 7 instead and get ( potentially and not confirmed yet ) tickets for away games allocated to me through this avenue instead.

Do people realise a lot of B7 are HibsFirst and entitled to a ticket in the same way other HF are? I’d agree if they had a block of 100 then something else going on. They also tend to not sit in allocated seats and bunch in (diff issue) given impression of a larger block.

Wonder how many the HSA branches got too - the ones that run regular buses get an allocation for every away match.

That doesn't happen anymore, when it did it was well before the loyalty points scheme started and it was also when we never sold out any away game because we were crap. Talking 10 years ago at least.Hibs.nets negative posting legend and unofficial ticket agent.
