mitch41 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Does anyone know why there's no sign of tickets going on sale for the Arbroath game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboHeriot Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Might be monitoring sales on the Everton game to estimate what stands will need opened. Still a fortnight until the game - plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I was in the ticket office yesterday and asked the same question. They are still waiting on the tickets being produced. As mentioned it could be to do with which stands are made available, or possibly they haven't agreed on the price per ticket yet, as I believe both clubs decide the price of the tickets.

Rudi Hates Hibees Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Was in today picking up Everton tickets and asked about Arbroath. I was told the club hoped to make an announcement in the next day or two, they were just finalising details. I assumed this was agreeing a price with Arbroath.

The Treasurer Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Quite looking forward to this game, much better to watch a real competitive game than a training session against a mid table EPL side.

makateer Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Got 3 tickets for this today. Looking like this will be our lowest attendance in years though. I can't believe we've sold more tickets for a meaningless friendly a few days before this game. I know it's not the most amazing team we have been drawn against, but give me a game that has a purpose over a friendly any day. I bet the Everton game will be full of the half and half scarf brigade as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIEIO Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Got four tickets today, said I wanted them all together, no problem you can have them pretty much anywhere. I chose section E as that is where my season ticket is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC86 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Not got mine yet, but definitely going. Bit crap if we can't fill the wheatfield and open at least one Gorgie or Roseburn. Does make sense to only sell Wheatfield first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treasurer Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Assuming this can be added to season ticket smart card? I don't think they are planning on opening all the stands so not all ST's would be able to get their own seat. Therefore you can't just add it to your ST smart card. Ordering on-line there is the usual admin fee and postage so a ?12 ticket actually costs ?14.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Loyalty points and more advertising................in fact the advertising for this and Everton has been pretty minimal, maybe oor Ann should get back to rebuilding the club and forget about the GFa for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 This constant focus on attendances and seats available does at times go overboard. It can leave a downbeat feeling even if the attendance has been okay for a run of the mill fixture where the season ticket cannot be used. Of course it's nice to boost the attendance but the constant talk of low attendance simply lessens the good feeling surrounding the club with no real need to do so. Some seem to set unrealistic targets and when they are not acheived it is perceived as failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the comparison between a meaningless friendly and a meaningful game within days of each other. I get what you are saying, and I'm not asking why we are not selling out the ground for Arbroath, but you would hope that more folk would be up for this game than an overpriced friendly against a mid table EPL side. People have raised good points about payday, game being midweek, and advertising though. Hopefully it is mentioned a few times at the game on Sunday and the TO is open for purchases. Maybe too many people got burned by result in the Livi Petrofac cup game last year, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Treasurer Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I actually think we could get a (relatively) good turn out for this one. After all it's our first competitive game back as a Premiership club and decent prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottish_chicP Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I bought my ticket for Arbroath the other day but now my mates are doing the Gorgie Live so need to find out if I can buy that separate or transfer my ticket across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveandal Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 In the current climate clubs need all the money they can get and home cup ties are a chance for some extra income. If Hearts were to get to the League or Scottish Cup Final we'd all be after tickets so why not get on at the start of the journey..... If you are able to attend and are not I find that a very strange decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Agreed on the advertising. I didn't receive any email about the Arbroath game, yet Hearts (and FoH for that) have my details.

The Treasurer Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Why are people moaning about the lack of advertising ? Most Scottish football fans should know that the first round of the LC is next week, a quick look on any number of websites (club, SPFL, TV etc) would tell you exactly when your own team's match is taking place. Or do people think Robbie or Craig should come to your door personally to give you the details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a case of just letting people "come and find us" Anyone who isn't aware of this (or any other) Hearts match is unlikely to be swayed by getting an e-mail from the club. Any other form of advertising (radio, newspapers etc) cost money and I would suspect would not give value for money in terms of extra bums on seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
