davidkeye Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Game only 2 weeks away but still no word on the tickets? Anyone know anything? Not sure, although i was at Parkhead on Wednesday night and can confirm the fact that there is a shedload of "seats" in the away-end that are smashed/non existent. There was only about 150 pars fans so it made very little difference. Earlier in the season the Aberdeen fans were getting ordered by stewards/police to sit down despite the fact there was no seat! I think that ended with a fair few getting horsed out. Should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the last time there were actually seats in half the upper part of the away pillar, sorry section, in that shitehole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobo_755 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Game only 2 weeks away but still no word on the tickets? Anyone know anything? From what I have heard Celtic are wanting guarantees we will pay them the ticket money over or will sell the tickets direct to Hearts fans instead. Hibs are apparently also considering selling the tickets direct to Hearts fans as well as a result of our current financial situation. Not good if this is true.

jambobroch Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 ...aaaand there goes the last decent league away. No wonder no one goes any more. Absolutely agree mate. Maybe not with the last decent away, I prefer Easter Road by a large margin, but with having to mess about with forms and stuff I definitely agree that it puts fans off. If I hadn't already committed to buying tickets for my Dad and a couple of folk from up north for this I wouldn't have bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amadjambo Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Well, I might just be missing a Celtic away game then. And that is not something I have done very often in my life. Think it is really bad form for Celtic to do this. Get treated like 3rd class citizens there at the best of times so why bloody bother! The money I have saved by not going will be spent in the Hearts shop buying Xmas presents instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesmith Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I am pretty sure that SPL rules state Hearts must get the chance to sell the tickets so we have declined too I would guess. I'd imagine both Hibs and Celtic are playing the smartarse and demanding Hearts pay all the tickets up front and sell them on therefore passing all the risk on-to hearts of non sold tickets as well as meaning we have to pay before the money hits our bank account. I trust we will return this favour. I can see why we would refuse this as in the case of Celtic we probably won't sell them all and lose money and in the case of Hibs we are probably talking a high 5 figure sum which we may not have as available cashflow or simply not want to give to them 6 weeks before the game. It's a win win for hearts as we don't have any the hassle or admin costs of selling the tickets and of course Hibs and Celtic will be hard pushed to blame us for any resultant trouble at the game if they controlled the ticket sales. The fans could do some sort of protest and boycott the games but this isn't really feasible as who wants to miss a derby game but I am sure we can all ensure we make it as difficult and costly for Hibs and Celtic as we can.

jambobroch Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I'm still not convinced Hibs will do the same thing. This looks to me to be a rather petty reaction to us limiting their allocation and using heavier policing when Celtic visit (however justified it may be). There is little or no trouble in Glasgow when we visit, there simply aren't enough Hearts fans relative to the police presence and sheer volume of Celtic fans, and this whole process I feel is totally unjustified, and will succeed not in weeding out numpties but putting off the normal people who just want to go to the football without having their character interrogated. There hasn't been any real trouble surrounding the Edinburgh derby for absolutely ages, and I can see no reason why Hibs wouldn't trust Hearts to use the loyalty points system successfully as we have done for years now.

amadjambo Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 We sell direct to their fans, so just a bit tit for tat imo. But we sell direct to their fans as they want paid for sell the tickets themselves. They bullied the rest of the league into it but at least we made a stand. Their actions here are totally different.

The Gasman Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 We sell direct to their fans, so just a bit tit for tat imo. It could actually be exactly that. They don't like that it means they have no control who gets tickets, and will doubtless be spitting nails that they could find their Club in trouble over the behaviour of fans they can't regulate. Perhaps it suits them not to be the only Club in that position, and more so if it's not their Siamese twin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobo_755 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I did post yesterday telling you Celtic would sell direct to Hearts fans and Hibs are planning to do the same. The reason as I said yesterday is because they have not had assurances from Hearts that we will pay them the ticket money on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wrote that I was not not sending credit card details on email as it was not secure, please phone me on tel number, they did next day and I got the tx, easy. I missed their call and they asked me to phone 0871 226 1888 Opt 1 then Opt 2 You could prob just phone that number without bothering about a form.
