Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Boring, get the ridiculously over optimistic guesses in now so we're all left a little disappointed when we hear the true figure. Ok. I'll play. 13,300 season tickets will be sold. Every seat other than those in the Roseburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Whether we sell 10 or 12k we may be heading for full or near to full houses subject to away allocations / separation of fans. Btw I see Dumbarton have already sold out their 2,020 season tickets which is some achievement. Still leaving some seats for walk up fans. At least we have the Roseburn for that as could be the same demand as we're seeing for season tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tynietigers Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I do think some people are getting a wee bit carried away, yes we will sell a good amount of season tickets but it will be around the 11 thousand mar. Like what someone said there are parts of the stadium that you can't get a season ticket for, like the Gorgie keeps 300 seats back, the old stand keeps seats back for freebies & the Willie Bauld and I think the Wheatfield holds seats back so that could total between 500 to 1000.

davemclaren 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 Agreed. Over 10k would be great for the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I think it's a little more than a few. Every Gorgie pub bought them Ex pats who couldn't attend games bought them Ex players bought them Current players bought them None of these will be renewed. Depends on what you mean by "a few" and for that matter what you mean by "A little more" but in the context of wondering whether the overall total will reach 5 figures these tickets aren't all that significant*. In terms of absolute numbers there simply aren't that many pubs in Gorgie, there weren't many current players, The former players and ex pats were exceptional stories which is why you remember them. Wwhile the total sales for those 4 categories is probably into 3 figures, a total of 200 would seem high What's more in many cases the tickets will still have been used by friends and family of the people who actually paid for them. Some of these friends and family will become holders in their own right which will lessen the impact again. *if the final number ends up being 9,950 I will retract this post and apologise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tams bird Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Same card, it should just be updated. I'm arriving early for the derby though, just in case! . I always take my Reciept to the first game as well. Tho if loyalty points added should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five to One Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'm in b, 22, the view is great, although if you're unfit you'll need oxygen when you get up to your seat, and it does take a little while to get out at the end of games. I agree as I'm in section B row 28. It's my exercise on a Saturday! The view is spectacular, not just of the pitch, but of the Edinburgh skyline also (though I'm concentrating on the game during play of course). I like being able to see how the game is developing and find you can't do that being so close to the pitch. Some prefer being close to the action though which I can understand.

luckydug Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 If we do end up selling 12/13 thousand STs it makes sense to cut the away allocation .

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I'm an eternal optimist, and I think we will sell 12k give or take a few hundred. See if we do? It is a phenomenal effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory House M.D. Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 One things for sure. It would be absolutely glorious to sell enough ST's to justify containing those two sets of mutants to half a stand. From the sheer amount of new ST holders I personally know of, I din't think that 11-12,000 is a figure out of our reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger Is Back Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 About time we built a new stand. We could easily sell 15k STs this year. Then when the dust settles in future years we could be like Hibs and play to a half empty stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The capacity of the ground is 2,020 not the number of tickets sold.. they have sold out the tickets they set aside for season tickets.. approx 1000 but they have left room for away fans, walk ups and hospitality..........it will be one of the most difficult grounds to obtain away tickets for.... approx 500 tickets available.

The last time we had that many STs the OF had their allocation cut and the rest of the Roseburn was for Hearts fans. No reason not to do the same again. Only difference would be cutting Hibs tickets as well. The reason I said IF was because I actually think we will end up somewhere between 10/11 thousand . At this stage no one can be sure.

Strachsuit Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 My guess is that we will sell 11,000. Slightly more than last year, I know a few lapsed ST holders that are coming back yet I haven't heard of anyone who is not renewing. Would be very surprised if anyone didn't actually renew tbh, unless for financial/work commitments etc. As has been said, anything over 10k is terrific.

I think a few of people that bought season tickets last year to help save the club wont renew. Some season tickets were purchased by people living abroad who had little to no chance of actually attending games. I guess some of these people will put their money into the FOH this year instead!

Jamboelite Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I think the 12/13k chat is very optimistic it will likely be 10k or thereabouts and that in itself is a great achievement.

Jammy T Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 A poll should be started as to what season ticket holders from last season will or wont renew. People seem to be a bit pessimistic about numbers despite the apparent hundreds of new season ticket holders. People must be overestimating the amount of "donated" season tickets from last season. It couldnt have been that many and must be more than outnumbered by new season ticket holders by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
