Biffa Bacon Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Looks like we will sell out of these before the July 13 deadline - fantastic news The club will need to make a decision on releasing more seats. The 380 will include many single seats which will not suit purchasers, especially with kids. They will know how the renewals are doing, so will have to gauge if there are enough unrenewed seats to accommodate the demand for STs. Are there any more within the 3 stands that could be sold? Perhaps in N? Otherwise the Roseburn is the only option, or turn away customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify assuming every body who bought a season ticket last year and they all renew, this 317 is all that's left for a total sell out? even if 1000 don't renew, at this rate they will be snapped up by others? looks like we could reach 14k sales, magnificent. 12 at worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is we will be at 10500 at July 13 and 12000 at season start, but it is just a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also blocks of seats where STs are restricted or not available. e.g. there are 528 seats in section X in the Gorgie, but only 175 are available foe STs because the club wants to maximise hospitality when there is demand for it, as in the Cat A games. There are also some seats withheld in sections A, G, N1, N2, N3, T1, T2 and T3. I'd guess that the max no of STs with the current configuration is around 12K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eckauskas Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I think 12k will be reasonable. But the thing to remember is that Hearts have set aside a certain amount of seats for season ticket holders.

Jaap's Sigh Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Correct, our capacity won't allow it. I've never said "zero chance" we won't beat our target, before ST's went on sale I was extremely doubtful we'd even sell the same amount. The rationale was that we aren't fighting for our life right now. Pubs won't buy them, ex pats won't but them, current and ex players won't buy them. However, it sounds like we might sell more. We'll need to see how things go after the end of phase one. I underestimated how many folk didn't care about saving Hearts but do like the idea of competitive football. Saddens me in some ways but in others it pleases me. Can't you just take the positives from this? You seem to hold a large amount of negativity about beating last season's ticket sales. Your last paragraph annoys me. How do you know that people didn't care about saving Hearts? I bought my first ever season ticket for the season ahead. I'm not ashamed to say it. I'm 37 and have supported Hearts since I was a boy. I've only ever made a handful of games a season and when I did start to work, my shifts meant that a season ticket could not be justified. When I started to work regular hours I had a young family. Again this meant that a season ticket was on the back burner. Over the last few years I have given donations to FOH and have a direct debit set up. There will be others who, like me, have done their bit in the past without buying a season ticket. Stop using the positive to try and make a negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were also a number of fans very sceptical as long as the old regime was the legal custodian of the club, even with our obvious plight. After the 'share initiative', the distrust increased and many chose FoH as a safer option to donate to. I really think many were wary of throwing money down a black hole. Now there is unity and certainty that has change. Not saying what is right here, but seems to me how it was/is.

Kiwidoug Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 There is zero chance we will have 14K season ticket holders. I agree. I'm sure we'll sell a good few more than that. People who think we will only reach 14,000 are daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't normally explain to the moronic, but we do not have the capacity that allows us to sell 14K season tickets. We need space for away fans. There is a minimum requirement in place but over and above that most clubs are gentlemanly about it and offer more. This is either because you want the money of more away fans or you want the scope to get more tickets for your own travelling support. Also, we will not go to a 100% ST Hearts end. Kiwi, you are quite special. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fxxx the SPFL Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 We could sell out season tickets in the three stands, which would be about 13500 and then decide to either sell more ST's for the Roseburn as category B which we have done previously or keep purely for walk up's generating more income. Only Rangers/Hobbits are likely to sell out the away end given the proposed Rangers boycott and the Hobbits playing keech may reduce their sales it is a bit of an unknown and may possibly give Hearts a bit of a pleasant headache to resolve. I'm sure more will become clearer after the 13th July. Can't wait for the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statto Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 In 2006/07, season ticket numbers were capped at 13,500. I'm sure we sold Category B ST's in the Roseburn Stand then, we don't do that anymore. We've reduced our capacity since then, seats removed from the Main Stand for TV and the new dugouts, I'm sure the Wheatfield has seats unavailable to purchase (at the back of D) for TV/media, we have a large section in the centre of the Gorgie Stand unavailable due to hospitality. Based on this, I don't think the club will be able to sell any more than 12,000 season tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clerry Jambo Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Last official count was 5000, I think the 12-14k talk is a bit optimistic at the moment. Over 10K would be a fair haul and a good basis for a busy Tynie next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
