Trying to buy a ticket for this and Daz’s testimonial but I’m getting an error message saying my browsing activity has been paused.

Not on my VPN, tried both WiFi and mobile data, tried different browsers, tried phone and laptop - all the same.

Any ideas?

I had the same - and tbh I’m not even buying as I’m in London and can’t make it
But I still wanted to login and it just wouldn’t work - I’m also not using VPN

I gave up after a few goes but I’d be extremely frustrated if I was trying to buy tickets

I might have to take the train now instead of driving.

I eventually managed it on my wife’s phone. Tried to add the tickets to my Apple Wallet. First one worked but when I tried to add the second one, it kept coming up with that message too. So frustrating

I had exactly the same problem the other day, using my usual iPad. I only managed to overcome it by switching to my Chromebook I.e. using the third suggestion above.

I had the same problem using an iPhone.

I switched off the WiFi and went outside and used 5G. It worked instantly.

Been having this issue on and off for months. Absolute pain. There’s clearly an issue with eticketing. Tried all the options and ususally also have to borrow other devices. Completely unacceptable but we will be small fry for Ticketmaster.

Also had this issue previously.

Really quite annoying and you do wonder how many people it affects getting tickets.

Wonder if Hibs are aware ?

I’ve had the issue with ticketmaster’s main site, not just Hibs tickets. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, sometimes it works fine others I can’t get in at all.

Why not? The fan zone is open to them as well as home fans.

Yeah let them mix in.

They are bringing a large support for a game - least Hibs fans can do is make them feel welcome !

By the way looking at the ticket sales map - amazed how few have been sold. I know many will buy late but still way off filling a single stand.

Friendly game in the middle of the holidays. Was never going to attract much of a crowd IMO. I know there is a wee bit more to it with the stuff around the 150th year but friendlies just don’t interest folk. Not unless you’re getting a decent trip out of it!

[MikeyS]

Could be more or them than there is of us!!

[joe breezy]

I was surprised at all the blue on the stadium map

I hope sales pick up especially with the Pat Stanton Stand aspect

Is it available for walk ups or ticket only?

[CentreForward]

Just checked on tickets and still a huge number left for both West and East. Hopefully the renaming of the East will improve sales fast. It would be great if it was full for the naming ceremony, but at the moment doesn’t look likely.

I always felt we got the dates of the testimonial and this game the wrong way round (from a purely marketing point of view, I accept there are other logistics).

Had the 150th game been a Saturday I think a lot of people would have made a real day of it, met up early and planned to stay out late and had a proper celebration. A midweek smack bang in the most popular time for summer holidays in Edinburgh makes that a lot less likely. I'm going but it will be a quick trip home, changed and back out rather than making it any kind occasion. Had it been the Saturday I would have been out for the day.

With all due respect to Darren McGregor a testimonial against a team like Bolton was never likely to attract any kind of numbers. We have seen it for both Lewis Stevenson and David Gray in recent years, they just don't attract crowds. With a more attractive date and time I feel like the Essen game could have been a bigger event than it looks like it is going to be.

[lucky]

Testimonials games very rarely attract decent crowds, especially against a League 1 club. There is also the fact that footballers make a very good living whilst playing. I appreciate Daz never had a long time in the Scottish Premiership but he will still have made more than most guys that are being asked to cough up for his game.

As the for the 150th Anniversary game it just has not caught the imagination of our supporters. I know every few ST holders that are going. The timing also seem odd, why play it on a Wednesday night during the Edinburgh trades.

Both these games will struggle to get more than 6000 in attendance.

Are you using work WiFi?

I just tried and same happened to me on the work WiFi, but I work for a US company and even though I'm based on Glasgow I've notice before some sites think I'm accessing from US (Strava and Google maps).

Works fine when I use mobile data vs work WiFi

There are apparently over 2,000 Essen fans coming to the game. You really think there will only be around three or four thousand Hibs fans there? Like others I'm bemused at the lack of interest for what's a unique occasion. It's caught my imagination. I was in Germany last time we played them and I love this nod to our European history. Tickets are only a tenner and a fiver. Be a bit sad to see the new Pat Stanton stand sparsely populated for its opening.

Is the 'trades' really a big thing any more? I remember our old butcher used to close every year for those two weeks until he retired but latterly he was the only shop I knew which did so.

Yeah weekend would have made so much more sense - even for the travelling away fans.

Would have also made it free for ST holders to attend (as cheap as it is).
