What about it?

It reduced the availability of more tickets in today’s general sale and left many FFL ST holders to scramble with the rest - when these guys should have been sorted first. Also ST holders being able to buy additional tickets on Friday. Shambolic. There was a twitter/X post from Kieran indicating it was all planned that way when it clearly wasn’t. As they swiftly started tweaking the ticketing system over the weekend. Folk have lost out due to this chaos. Its a pretty big deal and isn’t a great look imo.

Pathetic post from you in the first place. As usual.

Perfectly rational post imo. The rumours were circulating and they’ve now been put to bed.

It’s almost like what this forum is for🤷🏻*♂️

Clearly someone made a pig's ear of it, but it can't be undone so unless you're after your pound of flesh, not much point in chasing KP or Hibs for much more than an assurance it won't happen again, which I certainly hope and think it won't.

If it had came from any other poster probably so, you can just tell they were hoping for another answer.

They clearly state if KP confirms no priority they'll delete the thread, yet when that happens they move on to another question about ticket priority. The guy is utterly obsessed with tickets / ticket allocations for some odd reason.

Give it a rest ffs.

I’m sorry, KP has played on words here. B7 have 100% had tickets put to the side but I presume they won’t be allowed to by them until noon today.

I think, in this case, HC has a very valid point and is 100% correct in questioning it.

Whether the answer provided is correct, remains to be seen.

It could’ve been undone - tickets could’ve been cancelled. Like what Villa are doing for their home game.

No supporters group, including Block 7, receive priority tickets unless they’re a member of Hibs First ✅

I’m back working with schools during the working week, best bet is to drop me a message or email and I’ll get back as quickly as possible - [email protected]

Cheers for clarifying KP

Excellent. Thanks for your response.

One last thing though, whats the premium priority access another poster mentioned on the Villa away thread?

This post has a real columbo feel to it and i love it.

Is it actually confirmed that Villa are doing that beyond internet hearsay? Even so, it's not comparable unless we're expecting that hundreds of Villa fans benefitted from the cock up? (Which is impossible thanks to needing a purchase history etc)

[Hibernian Verse]

Zero chance of Block7 having tickets together at Villa Park if they're in the scramble today.

We will see.

It’s all online - youd basically extract the data into a spreadsheet out the back of the data and identify which ST bought more than 1 and which non ST bought a ticket before yesterday. It’s ticketmaster we’re talking about here - not some tinpot organisation.

They'll all have each other in their networks, agree a place to buy and everyone will try at the same time.

Max of 6 tickets can be bought in one transaction.

Why? Certain posters have been on a number of threads saying that block 7 get priority.

It's above in black and white they don't.

Certain posters are still trying to pretend they do.

Maybe they should give it a rest?

Which would work if we were able to choose seats but we don't have that system in place on the eticketing site for this one. It's max 6 tickets and choose a section. You're then randomly assigned rows & seats.

I guess they could all roughly be in the same area, but then you'll have others buying in that area. Plus the tickets will go in 5 mins.

It is in black and white. Last week I was told they were assigned after other priority groups due to policing, now they suddenly don't get priority.

Two different shades of any colour you like.

[Stairway 2 7]

Pretty cringe how rumours can grow. They aren't getting priority so a lot of wasted time and energy. Close thread stick in the bin. Hibs 3 AV 0

I know it would've been technically feasible but once the loophole was open for more than about 10 seconds, the genie was out the lamp and whatever route Hibs chose would've been a PR cluster ****.

All hypothetical now mind, the game is a sell out with the most Hibs fans in attendance at a game since the late 70's.

There is absolutely no chance they will be lucky enough to just so happen to get tickets together at Villa park in todays sale. Its impossible, so if they are all standing together then that raises another question. Were they sorted out? Or have they just piled into an area they fancy? If they are in the lower tier you will know theres nonsense going on.

You'll be lucky to get two together today never mind 50-100 altogether.

Your getting worried about something that hasn't happened after getting worked up about something else you heard that hasn't happened

Judging by a) KP's clear answer earlier in this thread and b) reports of their previous behaviour towards other Hibs fans, the "pile into area of their choice" option is the most likely one *if* that comes to pass, which I doubt it will.

With the game absolutely sold out, that could cause friction in the home stands before the game even kicks off. Hope everyone behaves themselves and sticks to their allocate seat, wherever it may be.

The piling into whatever area they please pish needs to GTF.

If I’m lucky enough to get tickets today then I want to be there, enjoying it with the people I bought tickets with, not ending up dotted round the away end trying to find whatever seat some coked up fanny has decided they don’t fancy.

I thought you said you hadn’t renewed your season ticket this year?

Surely you’re not planning to use someone else’s client reference number to jump the queue and deny a genuine season ticket holders a ticket?

This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I’ve not renewed. 20 odd years up until this season I had a season ticket and I won’t be renewing. I’ll no doubt still be along to most games but I simply haven't particularly enjoyed going to watch Hibs for a good few years.

hope the young boys actually have seats and are not copying the OF tactics…
