Aston Villa Away Tickets

[Carheenlea]

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.

Strange, the question has been asked numerous times. Makes you wonder why nobody has gave a straight answer

I think the silence probably tells it own story

I am a presence at every away game, why do they have priority over me, a person who's been following Hibs away since the 1980's?

Many hundreds like me unable to attain this level of priority either.

It's a joke to be honest.

I'm not saying I agree with it, just trying to visualise it from the clubs point of view.

[Hibernian Verse]

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.

Ah, but do you bring a drum?

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

[flash]

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.

The club had a loyalty programme a number of years ago, but people complained about it and the club done away with it.

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

IIRC, the club were only lambasted previously when they changed the goalposts and allowed folk to throw in £££ to gain X number of loyalty points

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?

People complained about it because the club messed it up and started awarding points for stuff rather than attendance.

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.

Maybe the loyalty scheme we had before wasn’t a good one and that’s why people complained?

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?

There never seems to be a way that people stop moaning about.

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 club deserve to be lambasted for giving them priority tickets if it is the case. Why should they get them?

[Carheenlea]

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.

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

I think we all know what his punishment should be! 😁

[nonshinyfinish]

Wow, that's some old-school hibs.net folklore.

[southern hibby]

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.

Go into your account then my network then add client ref

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.

[Chuck Rhoades]

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.

There was a guy on another thread saying they got 3 tickets for the home game through Block 7 and that only one of the three were season ticket holders.

For a period of time on Friday, season ticket holders could buy as many tickets as they wished.
