mainstandjambo Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Just spent some time counting green dots. Wheatfield - 2755 Gorgie - 1955 Main - 1963 Total - 6673 Looks like we have only sold under 7000 home tickets s far for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstandjambo Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 If we don't get a crowd of over 13,000 we will probably lose the benefit of television money as this will only replace the monies lost in poor ticket sales. Also as it is a cup tie Celtic get a share of gate receipts after certain deductions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fxxx the SPFL Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 total embaressment if we cant sell out remember half the gate money comes our way. i know it's on the box but jeeso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly Ray I don't think we'll get anywhere near a full house. There are too many ready made standard "excuses" available for this one. We've no chance, we'll get pumped, hate listening to the bile from the sellik fans, it's a Sunday, it's on the tv, fans have already dug deep and can't give any more etc, etc feel free to add any that I've missed.

jamboozy Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 probably a sense of dispiritment in the ranks, add to it the 'we need to do the christmas shopping' factor and that could contribute, hope folk start buying tickets, c'mon folks you probably can still get your own seat, it's not too late.

This. A very sad state of affairs. Celtic at Tynie in the Scottish Cup is about as big as it gets for Hearts. Anything less than a home sell out if pish-poor IMO. A sell-out is about the only thing that will give us slightly more of a chance... To those saying "we'll get pumped" - far, far stranger things have happened in football than this Hearts side beating that Celtic side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Ingram Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 The same people reaching for the excuse book would presumably be the first to slaughter our players for a poor attitude/lack of commitment?

Tommy Brown Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Bought my tickets on Thurs and couldn't believe what was still available in prime section "D". Facts are that all Scottish Cup ties are selling poorly (remember no Wheatfield against St J.) I have been guilty of not attending these in the last few years. A couple of regular attending mates have used the above excuses though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you had to buy your own seat before the end of last week to ensure that you got it. having said that by the current take up it should not be a problem.

graygo Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Their extortionate fees. Thanks for the reply. Pretty sure their fees are set at an industry standard though, also even if their fees were a fraction of what they are the difference would be going to our creditors (UKIO) so it's pretty immaterial how much they are. Is it also not the case that they have capped their fees? I'm not sure about that but I'm sure I read it somewhere.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haken Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I bought my seat last week, as did the mate and his wee lad, so there'll be 3 of us at least in section Q. Celtic have a European tie this week and they often don't perform too well in their following match. It'sa one off cup tie and I'm still clinging on to the dream that we'll do a cup double and finish 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handing over money at the Hearts ticket office to know that it is being swallowed up by a multi-national financial isolvency firm is not the romantic notion I had when I was walking to Gorgie as a child. I hope they GTF as soon as possible. The longer they are here the bigger drain they are. The "industry standard" fees are extortionate. Let's remember this "industry" is financial services.

Their fees will paid by the creditors when a CVA is completed (or after liquidation) and UKIO have agreed a set fee with them.
