The People's Chimp Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 They always seem to say we have sold less than we have. Would imagine we are over 10k already. That would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poultry Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 That means we're about 3,500 short of last season's total. There are still a couple of weeks left for people to renew and there are <200 season tickets available for new purchases of season tickets at the moment. There will still be plenty of people who will renew before the deadline and other new season ticket holders who will be waiting to see what becomes available after the renewal deadline. Absolutely nothing to panic about. 12,500 last time and I can see us reaching 13,500 this time with the extra tickets available in the Roseburn Stand. Sensible post Stanley. I agree a good few watching and waiting to see what becomes available in the next phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTweedy Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 To play devils advocate, with both of them not coming up that means we lose about 4-8 televised games with us and the money involved. Obviously we will be on TV against some other teams instead, but probably not as much as we would have if they had come up. Still, money from ST's and a half decent cup run will replace that lost earnings easily. What money would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTweedy Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Same money but I'm not sure we will be on TV as much. I thought TV money is paid per game, rather than a flat amount over the season, but I might be wrong. Oh aye, it hurts them far more than it hurts us. The money each club gets is based on final league position. There are no payments for individual games being shown on tv. That means it can actually cost money to be on tv, as it can affect gates, etc. There are limits to how many times each team's home games can be shown on tv in a season.

FarmerTweedy Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Can't believe people still think we get paid TV money every time a league game is shown, it hasn't been like that for many many years (if ever?). TV money is paid out as part of the overall prize money, depending on final league placings. Hopefully, if Motherwell finish the job and the huns are stuck in the Championship, we will have less tv games so more 3pm Saturday kick-offs As Scott Herbertson said, we may well be on tv more if sevco stay down, as BT/Sky won't have the easy option of chucking whichever erse cheek is away from home on tv every week.

Indeed - no difference to us financially, but to me personally it will probably mean I use my season ticket less as the incentive to travel up for games will be less. I am not sure how cup TV money goes though - anyone know how that is shared out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I hope I am wrong on this but I feel we have over estimated demand for this coming season. If we match last seasons 12,500 it will be a fantastic effort. I just feel that last season was an adventure and fans wanted to back the club and ensure it's survival in the first season of the new regime. With an increase in price and no derby match it will perhaps not be viewed the same this season...and of course we may be on TV more often I would not have put full season tickets on sale in the Roseburn and kept that for walk ups. However as I say I hope I am proved wrong and we exceed last seasons total..........a few new signings will no doubt help as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may not reach last season's figure, but the club was spot on in selling seats in the Roseburn to give fans a decent choice of where they wanted to sit. Plus there will be more seats available in the other stands as many may have moved to the Roseburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had no new signings and no feel good factor my guess is we would have gone down to about 11,500 by season start but I think the steady stream of good news we will get from now on will ensure we meet or slightly surpass last year's total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way things are going currently, almost every seat available seat will be sold by deadline day (June 10) and that will only leave those who don't renew at all (500? 1000?) to resell before the season starts.

Cast No Shadow Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 If you bought a season ticket to watch us in the Championship but won't buy one to watch us in the Premiership - where we belong - then you must have very low expectations for Heart of Midlothian Football Club.

Footballfirst Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Last year there were 1083 seats available when the non renewed ST seats were released on mid July. (the Roseburn was not available for sale) Main 313Wheatfield 510Gorgie 260 By the first week of the season, there were just 86 seats available, so around 1,000 seats were sold after phase 1..

The number of supporters that will apply to will be miniscule, imo. People are using the administration ticket sales as the yard-stick. It was disappointing that more folk did not buy to save us when we were in admin, but I'd put that more down to being fed up with the shite football and general shite atmosphere around the club. I predicted 12.5 k last time based on the post admin good vibes, and got it right, I think there's even more good vibes around now, so expect more still.

BigC Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Renewed yesterday after getting paid. I think that the steady stream of good news will see the number creep up to very close to last season's total. The number of walk up's available will be fairly similar so whether or not we can fill the ground will depend on how we start the season. I'm not sure when ST sales stop (IIRC it's usually after the 2nd home game) but we might even get a wee surge just before they finish if we get a good opening fixture like Aberdeen at home and beat them.

As for the Cup Final issue that could be quoted in your words "Ah that old argument" ,,, we have 13,500 season ticket holders and we get approx 24,000 tickets for a cup final ... we should be glad that we have a fan base that snaps them up. They wouldn't all get into Tynecastle anyway and the cost of a cup final ticket is just a bit less than a season ticket.
