Hearty Harry Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Spot on - this is a huge gamble. If we can't get a competitive team on the park next season and there is not the same level of season ticket holders the place will be half empty because the walk up's simply won't walk up in any numbers. This has been an exercise in mortgaging future revenue to dig themselves out of a hole of their own making - that hole was big enough and if this gamble fails we are in serious trouble this time next year. I renewed and somehow I feel used and abused and it doesn't feel very good - there is a part of me wishes I had told them to shove it but the heart rules the head. I'm fortunate I had the money to go and buy the tickets for the wife and myself but I feel really sorry for the guys who aren't in a position to do that. it has not been one of the better days in this clubs history, pretty shameful really. I felt so dirty after renewing that I had to have a shower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory House M.D. Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 It's not going to be just ?10. I have other payments to make which I expected to have more time on but have to pay this weekend. That rules me out of buying my ticket for at least a week and I dread to think ehat ludicrous price they'll be charging then. It's also the fact that Hearts have pissed me about on The ST front before and add to that we've had a pish season IMO. Hearts just can't justify charging such prices.

Gregory House M.D. Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 For another ?112 I could buy a ST at Old Trafford. It'll be less than ?112 come this time next week and could probably be under ?100 difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_hearts65 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have had a CAT B ST for five years. I normally buy my ticket in the 1st Phase and my sons before the end of the reserve period as under 18 tickets stayed the same during full period. This year with no CAT B i was looking at nearly ?200 more at cheapest prices. There was no offer by hearts to reserve an alternative seat until the April date for CAT B holders as there seats have not been made available. I had saved ?200 for my ticket which I thought should be more that enough based on last years prices plus a small increase. Last week the website informed me that 1) I will have to pay a lot more 2) I have no reserved seat 3) My sons ticket has more than doubled with no time to pay. I could have managed to buy a full price Bronze ticket this morning but I couldn't reserve one for the boy so couldn't risk it as there is no guarentee when I've got the money for his ticket any adjacent seat will be available. The additional ?40 for Zebra takes this out of the equation. I'm sorry that some people can't understand why some of us are angry and feel let down that hearts didn't give us more time to prepare for this. If the change of system had been notified around Sept/oct we would have had a chance to get organised. There is no way I can afford the current prices its gone up to over ?500 for the 2 of us. There were lots of simple things hearts could have done to help ease in this new system but they've cocked up bigger than Craig Whyte and many hearts fans are being left with no choice but to Walk away.

The systems unfair Hearts will suffer in a similar way Hibs have with people chosing to walk up and pay if the team does well and spend their hard earned elsewhere if we are shite. I doubt the money Hearts received in ST sales yesterday will cover Obua's wages for the year. Not our fault we are in this mess and it is not up to us to dig our way out of it.

andrew Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Some right dicks on this thread. The club need to understand not everybody has the cash at hand to buy their ST straight away. If people contact the ticket office in 2-3 weeks time and find out their seat has gone up 40-60% from the advertised prices a large number will just give it a miss IMO. Even if the club break even on last year in terms of revenue is it really worth alienating potentially a few thousand fans? I'll be really surprised if we punt more than 8k tickets this year.

From a purely commercial point of view if you have sold less ST's and have the same money in the bank then that means you have more money in the account once you sell the available seats on matchdays so it will have achieved exactly what it was meant too.

What happens if the team is shite next year and the folk who don't renew don't come back? It's not just the season ticket money we lose out on, it's the strips, stuff out the club shop, sponsorship money (less people in the stadium = less companies will pay to advertise there) etc. The club are ripping off the fans who don't have the cash to stump up at short notice, the same demographic of the support who are most likely to think 'you know what? money is tight, work is scarce and I've got kids to feed - I think I'll give the footy a miss this year'. In this day and age we should be doing everything possible to get as many fans in the ground as we can. I thought the u12's ticket a few years back was a masterstroke. Hopefully these kids will grow up to follow the club for the rest of their lives. I'm afraid this new ticketing policy will be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Bundy Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Ha ha, Owned. I do agree though that the whole thing is a bad way to treat the fans. The publicity I saw made it appear that there would be a price reduction. I didnt read the small print. Guys, there's no point squabbling or scoring points - Hearts have scored an o.g. here and there is no getting away from that fact. It's the first time this dire easyjet system has been used in the uk for football season tickets - you don't say!!! Are we to believe all other clubs within the UK are behind the game when it comes to marketing and pricing and that Hearts are trail-blazing on this one? Or have other clubs looked at it and moved on accordingly, knowing it was a sham - and Hearts are the only twats to have actually implemented it without seemingnly knowing how it works in reality themselves. Or maybe it's all quite deliberate and avoided an increase in Hearts season-ticket headline - and that's worked out right enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
