Footballfirst Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 K now open, but not the front section. I think that it is a misjudgement on the part of the club not to offer "Bronze" seats at this point. There are no seats together at that price band anywhere in the stadium. Anyone, whose finances are tight, may choose not to go rather than pay the "Gold" prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if this is the case just a possible explanation why the front section is unavailable It is possible the that front section is available for sale at the Ticket Office, or that stewarding costs will increase with every section or part section that is opened up. To me, it looks more likely that the club is seeking to maximise its revenue, by forcing fans to buy more expensive seats. Its fine that the club is seeking to maximise revenue, but it shouldn't be done with the thought of how much can we get out of the fans pockets by limiting their access to cheaper seats.

Serge Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 May be something to do with crowd safety/segregation. No idea if this is the case just a possible explanation why the front section is unavailable It's obviously to maximise revenue. They'll release the bronze ones once they have sold enough gold. They don't want people buying a cheap seat and then sitting in an unsold dearer seat. Why are you called "The Treasurer "? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalry Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 why is K opened last? Isn't this the section right in the middle?? It always seems weird to me to see this section almost empty and the other sections in the Roseburn almost full like the lower section in the corner. I'm sure they would rather sit in upper K.

So once again FF, without knowing the full FACTS, you choose to put a negative spin on something to do with the running of the club.You may of course be right, but if it is the case that the club only want to sell the dearer seats, why is every other section not sold by opening only the top section first ?

scott herbertson Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Most important thing to note is this is a remarkable number of tickets to have sold for a Championship game. Remembering back to the old first division days of the eighties even the bigger important games had much lower crowds. An additional point is that it is possible we will have DOUBLE the attendance that Hibs got for the same fixture, with no price inducements or kids days. Truly, we are seeing some great days at Tynie and the promise of many more to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have an interesting little test - which will sell out faster, the cheap or expensive seats? (Are concessions available in both upper and lower sections? It looks like Lower K is winning already - 24 gone compared to 18 in Upper K "The Treasurer" - All I want from the club is to make as many seats available, in all price bands, as far as is reasonably possible. That way you will attract fans of all means to attend games. Like another poster above, I would have preferred that "K" was the first section opened in the Roseburn (notwithstanding security considerations). That way, what are perceived as the "best seats" in the Roseburn are available to all pay as you go fans first, and not just to those who make a last minute decision to attend in the 24 hours before a game.

All clubs, not just Hearts, will keep seats in or nearest the "segregation" areas until last. Just so happens that theses seats are probably better than the ones previously available.Fans of all means have had plenty time to purchase cheaper tickets if that was what their budget allowed.

dc-jambo Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The club is doing grand on ticket distribution. The new site makes ticket purchase options more obvious. It makes sense to sell the first two section out and then work in from there. With good weather and a little hype about how Dumbarton are the only team we haven't beat yet -- K can sell out tomorrow Just wait and see!

luckydug Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I wouldn't agree that K is a better view than J. K is right behind the goals so if you are unlucky your view can be obscured by crossbar/nets etc. section J gives a clear view of the pitch and is reasonably central.

mainstandjambo Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Wheatfield - 5 Gorgie - 4 Main - 7 H - 58 J - 10 K - 502 Total - 586 Given that L and M hold approximately 1483, that means we are at present about 2069 below capacity, this figure will be lower as does not take into account how many away fans there may be.
