super_vlad Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I can't remember the exact numbers but there were hundreds, the low hundreds, of tickets resold by the club for the first derby of last year . 200 at say even ?20 a pop, for 4 Cat A games is ?16k. Not an insignificant amount. I thought those were just tickets handed back by the players that went on sale? I don't still don't see it being a problem apart from hibs & rangers of us not having any seats for sale, most folk who can't use their season tickets for a game just hand it to a mate anyway. Last year I'm sure folk bought extra st to help the club out so I can't see there being many unused seats next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNox Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 How many have rangers sold? Don't go talking about Rangers on a Hearts thread. You must know it annoys people The last published number I can remember was 17k, less than half last season's total (if we believe they really sold 35k last season, surely lying to pretend they are still a big club, probably most were kids tickets to be used by cheating adults......sorry, I should really stop looking at losers.net!) Presumably they have shifted more as that was a good month ago, although there was some dubiety about how 'real' the 17k figure was. I read a suggestion that someone on the board had bulk purchased 4k STs to boost the numbers they had to announce, on the basis that those STs would be released as further sales were made. That might be complete sh!te but I do recall reading that they had only sold 12-13k not long before they would have to make the announcement.

FarmerTweedy Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 That gets it said. Edited to ask: Should ST holders be encouraged to release their seats back for home game they cannot attend? Probably not encouraged as such, as that may feel to some people like they're being pressured into it, but I think the fact that it can be done should be publicised as much as possible.

FarmerTweedy Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The club should defiantly look into this.... I think it would a great incentive to people who can't afford season tickets or can only travel to a handful of games. How, exactly, would they do it defiantly?

King Of The Cat Cafe Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Definitely worth considering, but need to think out the implications. No point in Hearts offering unused season ticket spaces for a small fee if that means they lose out on full price walk-up tickets. Perhaps I am being greedy, but my thoughts were that any seats freed up should be offered at the same walk-up price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strachsuit Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Wheatfield - 254 Gorgie - 128 Main - 183 Total - 565 Good to see that they are still selling, even if it is at a rate of about 35 per day. There are now not that many sets of two tickets outwith the Wheatfield and a couple lower Gorgie, which you would think may preclude parent-child tickets and possibly even two mates that want to sit together. I would imagine that once those few have gone and there are only single seats left there will be a release of a Cat B ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that once those few have gone and there are only single seats left there will be a release of a Cat B ST. Not ITK but I just have a feeling that the Roseburn (ie Cat b ) will be kept purely for walk ups.Some people for various reasons will not buy an ST but will want to go to a few games. If they are unable to buy a ticket on a one off basis then some of these fans could be lost to the club in future. Also ST holders may want to bring someone along (family or friend from abroad etc) and will want to get tickets together and the only place to do that could be the Roseburn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boozyuzi Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Maybe the club could contact fans ask them to move 1 seat to left or right - to help turn the single seats into pairs, making them easier to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Maybe the club could contact fans ask them to move 1 seat to left or right - to help turn the single seats into pairs, making them easier to sell. If that happened to me and I moved to the left I would be sitting on the stairs and if it went the other way someone would be pushed onto the stairs at the other end. I don't think that would work unless there was a spare seat at either end of a row and remember end seats are popular for ease of access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
