Hibs pay tribute to fans and extend Early Bird season ticket offer again as sales hit 8,000 mark

Hibs chief executive Leeann Dempster has paid tribute to supporters and extended the club’s Early Bird season ticket offer after sales passed the 8,000 mark.

Fans will now have until 5pm on Friday July 3 to buy season tickets at reduced rates, with the seat release deadline also extended until the same date, after reaching the latest milestone.

In a statement, the Easter Road club also committed to being “as flexible as possible as more detail emerges about the format and plans for the 20/21 season” with matches likely to be behind closed doors when football returns.

Dempster said: “We have passed the 8000 season ticket mark, showing once again that our supporters, friends and community are backing Hibernian in impressive numbers, given the ongoing uncertainty as we begin look towards the challenges of next season.

“We have always acknowledged that many of our fans are facing challenges of their own and we fully understand that not everyone feels able to make their season ticket purchase right now. For those of you who have, we say once again that we are grateful for your solidarity and belief in your club.”

Season tickets holders still to renew for next season will also be able to take advantage of an amended 8-month instalment plan with the club continuing its pledge to meet the interest costs.

Leeann added: “As we continue to work our way through a number of scenarios with the SPFL, the Scottish Government and other clubs, we aim to make sure that our supporters, who have backed us so generously, will be at the forefront of our plans as the detail becomes clerer.

“We are all Hibs and we are in this together.”
