Supporter Info: Celtic (H)

Supporters attending our William Hill Premiership match with Celtic should familiarise themselves with the following information.

TICKETING

Tickets for Hibernian FC supporters in traditional home stands are limited, and additional seating has been opened in the South Stand for this one.

Tickets are available to supporters on the Hibernian database from the Ticket Office up to kick-off, but to avoid the queues, tickets are available online through the Clubs Ticketing platform HERE.

With the game kicking off at 12pm, turnstiles will open at 11am, and you are advised to arrive early to avoid any queues at the turnstiles.

Entry through the turnstiles will close shortly after half-time.

SEGREGATION

Home supporters are asked to enter the South Stand via the East access gates.

Supporters are advised that the route around the rear of the South Stand will be closed before and after the match. In addition, barriers will be in place on Albion Place post-match, and spectators are advised to exit via St Clair Street or Hawkhill Avenue. 

For supporters in the West Stand, the gates onto Albion Road will be closed for a short period after the match, and exit can be made onto Albion Place.

TRAVEL

There are several roadworks across the city that may impact your travel to Easter Road. Please be aware that Restalrig Road is closed between Leith Links and Sleigh Drive for resurfacing works, and the surrounding area will be busy with diverted traffic. Please give yourself extra time for your journey to Easter Road. 

Easter Road, London Road, Leith Street and the Leith Walk area are expected to be congested with the usual matchday traffic. 

Disabled Supporters will be permitted to park on St. Clair Street and the north side of Hawkhill Avenue free of charge with blue badges on display. Please note the local streets around the stadium close an hour before kick-off as footfall increases.

Anyone wishing to utilise their blue badge privilege would have to park in the defined area before the matchday Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) takes effect (1 hour before kick-off), and there should be no vehicle movement until such times as the TTRO restrictions are lifted (usually 15-20 minutes after the final whistle).

The Trams will be operating at 7-minute intervals to Leith. The best stops for the stadium on Leith Walk are McDonald Road and Balfour Street. For more details on the trams and stops between Edinburgh Airport and Newhaven, see the following link: Edinburgh Trams.

UNACCEPTABLE CONDUCT

We ask you to think about your actions before, during and after the match. 

We remind all supporters that unacceptable conduct will not be tolerated, and anyone caught in possession of pyrotechnics, throwing objects, causing damage, entering the trackside or field of play, or bringing in bottles/cans into the stadium can expect action to be taken. 

The Club will continue to support the actions of Police Scotland and the courts in acting against anyone detected carrying out a breach of the Ground Regulations or being involved in unacceptable conduct. Regardless, if we are home or away, sanctions against any breach may result in the individual facing an indefinite Club Ban, a Football Banning Order or, as we have seen elsewhere recently, a custodial sentence. Please don’t be that person!

Walkways should be kept clear, and if seated in the stand, you are asked to take up your designated seat while watching the match. This is not only a ground regulations requirement but also in the interest of the safety of all members of the public.

Football is a place where families come together to support their team, and Hibernian Football Club prides itself in being a club for everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, colour, gender, religion, creed or sexual orientation. Please help us keep it this way.

Finally, please listen to and follow instructions given by Police Scotland, stewards and club officials over the PA system before, during and after the match.
