Fozzyonthefence Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 There will be around 12-13,000, as usual for this game - is there any point to these threads?

This. If we really are still as much as ?400k short of getting us through the remainder of the season then we really need to sell out at least three of the stands. I thought the attendance at the Dundee game was poor regardless of whether it was a midweek game against a crap team. Hopefully those looking to pick up a few loyalty points ahead of the final start turning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Have a feeling more tickets sold than the actual attendance for Dundee. A lot of gaps with regular season ticket holders near me missing. So maybe wasn't so bad. Still, we need a new push now onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we do sell out the 3 stands it'll still be around 3,000 short of capacity. If we sell out three stands then Hearts will open some sections of the Roseburn, just like we did against St Mirren. We have a reported 300 - 400k shortfall to reach our costs between now and the end of the season. If we fail to pay our wages on time we will face further sanctions from the SPL. What about the above makes selling out Tynecastle seem like a pointless idea? In fact... I cannot for the life of me figure out what the point was for your post.

TheMaganator Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 We could do with an official plea from the club re the short fall. If you are a 'go sometimes, when I can be ar*ed' type fan you'd me more likely to come along if you knew the club really needed it - like what we saw with St Mirren. Like it or not, we have thousands of those types of fans & as far as I'm aware, unless you read JKB you'd be thinking we were out of the woods financially, this season.

I didn't say selling out Tynecastle was a pointless idea, I'm just saying that these threads don't appear to have any impact on the attendances. Other than the St Mirren game, which was always going to sell out anyway given the circumstances, we're pretty much back to getting the normal crowds we would expect (like less than 12k against Dundee) which is a shame but probably understandable given the mixed messages coming from the board and the fact we're bringing players in again, albeit on loan. We didn't sell anything like 3 stands out against Dundee - why will it be any different against Killie, other than maybe getting a few hundred more because it isn't a midweek game? We need another Armageddon type statement from the board to have a positive impact on crowds til the end of the season and maybe some Cup Final ticket incentive scheme would help too, although I suspect that most people who want a ticket will get one anyway.

Robbo-Jambo Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 2 game package to guarantee a League Cup final ticket? We have actually 3 home games on 3 successive Saturdays with 3pm kick offs. There should be some sort of package set up to get the best crowds in possible whether it is linked to cup final tickets or a deal for purchasing tickets for the 3games at the same time. Somebody in the clubs marketing department should be earning their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody in the clubs marketing department should be earning their money. Getting good crowds at Tynie is probably the most painless way to get us through to the end of the season. The marketing folks should be working overtime to harness the cup final, exciting young team etc. Remember though that this is the same marketing department that came up with the Dynamic Pricing idea i.e. they are clueless. So these threads are are really important to keep the momentum going to raise the ?300-400k we need.....the club is not safe yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody in the clubs marketing department should be earning their money. Agreed. Far too often we are found wanting when it comes to club initiatives for maximising revenues. We are actively encouraged to dig deep and help the club in our hour of need, which is fair enough. But it seems too much for the people drawing a wage from Hearts to sit down and think this through and show a bit of initiative. Its hardly rocket science ffs.

heartsfc_fan Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 With February being a tough month due to lack of home games, I can understand the statement. Wages get paid the same weekend as the Killie game, so if we manage to get 3,000 extra punters through the door at ?20 a ticket, that's ?60,000.

Footballfirst Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 It is an odd decision for Hearts to make to ask Ticketmaster to remove the section counters (Ticketmaster wouldn't do it on their own). The information is still there but counting the available seats is a pain. The Board claims that they are transparent, but I don't see the value to the club in making the information on ticket sales less visible. I think that the JKB countdowns do encourage a few more people to buy tickets rather than the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
