I think it complicates things to offer a choice but being cynical if they didn’t this thread would be called “why can’t you put down a preference for your seat”.

I agree it isn't easy for the club and the ticket office. My suggestion actually would help the administration because it simplifies things and removes a potential pitfall.

How do you even apply to the ballot for the Ross County game. I followed the link in the email but that took me to my profile. I also need to make sure my daughter is in the ballot, do I need to sign in on her account too. I thought the shambles with tickets would have stopped when LD left but it has unbelievable got worse.
The club should have made sure all 4 stands were open, those successful in the ballot should have been informed before monies taken and the whole process needs to be done more timeously. On top of that the comms have been poor with broken links and sent out after the fact. It really isn't rocket science and the club really needs to do so much better. I would also like to know if it is the club or council who have decided not to open the stands behind the goals.

And if you're daughter isn't already in your "Network" - you can add her by using her Client Ref Number and then assign one of the tickets you apply for to her.

I think they are just trying to accommodate preference where they can.
Don’t think it is worth overthinking. Very unlikely the intention is to not allocate a ticket at all.

My point is that whatever the intention is, that's not what is indicated on the form.

It may not be the 'intention' to fail to allocate a ticket but it could be an unintended consequence.

I also find it rather amusing that people are moaning that fans may be getting better seats than what their season ticket entitles them too. My seat is one of the more expensive in the ground but do I care that I`m sitting in a "lower value seat"? Not a jot, I am just more than happy to get back to seeing Hibs in the flesh. Some folk are never happy

^^It's weird.
If i go to the main Hibs website here is an option to login in the stop left of my screen.
It logs me into nothing though! Back on the same main screen but now saying logged in.
If i want to buy a ticket I have to click the link to take me there.
Same if I want to buy something from the shop or watch Hibs TV.
So 4 logins in total.
In this case, I clicked the 'Buy Tickets' link that takes me to Ticketmaster.
Now, select single tickets and the next page should show you the Ross Co game at the top.
Click apply for tickets here. On the next page you can add another member in your network so that you can buy 2.
Then choose your preference for area and confirm.
Good luckLast edited by WhileTheChief..; 03-08-2021 at 04:05 PM. Reason: You're sorted :)

One of my neighbours is waiting on a hip replacement. She cannot manage up too many stairs so has to stipulate lower.
It makes sense to give folk a choice.Last edited by PatHead; 03-08-2021 at 04:15 PM.

I can only make 1 of our opening 6 league games - can I put my name in the hat for a Livi ticket 6 times?

It also nips me with silly things like 2-3 days notice when the ballot closes less than 3 days before the game and also why if it is a ballot conducted by applying as you would buy a ticket for a single game will that put you in the ballot for further games. Say you can't attend another game and you get a seat meaning someone misses out.
This should have been sorted out days ago for the bulk of the tickets, at least the legal amount with the rest sorted when the council decision came through. The council may have been poor but that is a given and the club really need to do so much better

My point is that the 'I'll sit anywhere' option allows you to be sure that if your preferred area is not available, you'll still be allocated a ticket if one is available elsewhere.
Your point about your neighbour is a very good one. She only wants a lower deck ticket so both of her options will be for West Lower sections. Some people have indicated that they think if your choice isn't available, then you'll be automatically given a seat somewhere else that is available. In the case of your neighbour, if no lower seat is available, she can't go and doesn't want a randomly allocated seat that could be up the top of the East Stand.
All they have to do is make it an option.

Has anyone else lucky enough to have the money pending in their bank account for Thursday as of an hour ago (phew) not received a confirmation email from Hibs?
