Hibs trigger cost crunching tickets for Easter Road cracker as Dan Barnett confirms 'heavily subsidised' plans

Hibs have confirmed their Football for a Fiver offer will return in January for the Premiership clash with Motherwell.

The Easter Road side are in the midst of a busy festive fixture schedule that carries on in early 2026 with a tantalsing clash against Jens Berthel Askou’s team. Motherwell have had plenty of plaudits for their style of play this term and defeated Hibs 2-0 in November, and look likely to be a rival of Hibs’ for European football.

After previously unlocking the offer for games against St Johnstone and Kilmarnock in recent seasons, Hibs have confirmed that it’s back, with the cost crunching exercise for fans seeing every ticket reduced to just £5. Tickets are available here.

What is Hibs Football for a Fiver programme?

A club statement reads: “We’re delighted to announce that our popular ticket initiative – Football For A Fiver – is back for 2026! To mark our first home game of the new year, we're excited to confirm that all match tickets within the Stadium will be sold for just £5 for our William Hill Premiership match with Motherwell; kick-off at 3pm on Saturday 10 January, 2026.

“For the second season in a row, we are rolling out our special discounted ticket campaign with the aim of getting another capacity crowd inside Easter Road! This will be the third time in the last four years that we have offered tickets for a fiver – with travelling Motherwell supporters also benefitting from £5 tickets.”

CEO Dan Barnett added: “We’re delighted to be able to offer heavily subsidised tickets to our supporters, especially after a busy festive period which often comes at a significant cost. As a Club, we’re always looking at different ways to minimise the cost of going to the football and bringing new supporters into Easter Road, and the Football For A Fiver campaign is a way of enabling that.”

David Gray ahead of Hibs vs Hearts

Next up though for David Gray and co is the small matter of a home derby with Hearts. The head coach said: “Regardless of where we are in the league, what division we’re in, the magnitude of this game and what it means to the supporters, it wouldn’t matter.

“It could have been a friendly down the public park and it would still have the same meaning in terms of what’s at stake. It’s three points that are, if you can get them, really important.

“And it would be really important for us to then go and kick on, so I don’t see it as more pressure on us. I think that pressure would always be there, regardless of where we find ourselves in the league.”
