£30 odd is unacceptable for a qualifying round, without even a small discount for season ticket holders.

By the looks of the Hibernian stadium and the turnout , it looks like they aren't really bothered by it

[Brend'Watkins]

£30 is too much for a qualifier.

It is. However, if there’s one thing this regime is good at it’s making (milking) the most from any opportunity. They’ve figured in a big demand based on our European absence the last 10 years. Therefore it's £30. If we’re in it next season it will be less, if it’s a CL qualifier it will be more.

I won't be

If you want to accept the constant attack on the working class then that's your choice. West Ham United a London club charged £15 for their games last season.

It's a disgrace

Not even a ST Discount

well, that's not quite true, is it?

You're refering to the group stage , which still offers some very good prices for packages depending on bands you go for. Good value

What's this "only" the qualifying round? It's a European competition that many of us on here have booked accommodation for the final in a fit of hubris and excitement, competition on a Thursday, something we've been far too poor to play in for 13 years. I'd love to get away with paying nowt, but stop dumbing down like we're too good for it.

[Flin5tone]

I'm delighted we're in it and it's a fantastic opportunity for us, just think they could have priced it fairer to pack the park. We could have 5,000 empty if it's the Swiss outfit

Isn't it sort of reverse snobbery to think the working class deserve special treatment?

The rules are complicated. Forum consensus appears to be it's OK for middle class social democrats to say the working class deserve special treatment (and for left of centre or centrist governments to follow through largely with attempts to re-educate them), but evil and cynical for the Tories to say the same (and then probably not bother/leave them to their own devices unless they've embraced a new drug). And it's no good for the working class to say they deserve anything both for the reason you state and because if they are white they are probably racist, voted for Brexit and have bad taste (unless it's pride about almost anything Birmingham related except the obvious), so shouldn't be enabled (hence the preference for re-education).

I'd go with if an event ends up close to selling out, then the price however high is ex post justifiable. However, so many sporting events go ahead with high ticket prices but sparse crowds and that seems unjustifiable. I think the former is more likely than the latter here.

I'll be going but I am a bit annoyed they haven't announced kick off time yet. I assume 7.45 which, being middle class, clashes with my evening meal time.

The middle class can eat?!

[luke95]

30 quid sounds fair enough.

Of course it is. Except for one person on here that will find raindrops of shit in every ray of sunshine.

Nope , £20 is plenty for this stage of the competition.
Same for League & FA Cup... £20 is plenty for early rounds.

As good as it is to be back in European football let's not kid ourselves  that it's nothing more than a 3rd rate competition.

Almost exclusively supper in the Terrace View.

[darren woolley]

I'm just glad to pay £30 that means we are in European competition.

So you won’tbe attending, Flin5tone?

Hibs lead through the Brummie
