Cast No Shadow Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 The point was raised in relation to travelling support not success. Don't backtrack. The fact they have been shite for years and can still take larger numbers kind of points to them being a bigger club tho.... Erm, certainly not in my lifetime they haven't. Indeed, they had their best season for over a decade last year and still averaged less than United: thanks for playing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Absolutely gutted not to be getting a ST for the umpteenth season in a row due to work. Looks like it'll be bloody hRd to now even get a ticket for a run of the mill match hopefully can pick a ticket up from season ticket holders unable to go Hearts can do more here or you could ask via JKB?

Unknown user Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Beast-like post, imo. It was a fair question, it might not be obvious to the younger fans, Dundee have always been the bigger club. United are decades younger and started as a minority representation team- they even used to be called Dundee Hibernian, what more proof should be needed? Dundee's active fanbase has dwindled in recent years to be fair though, they've been awful for decades with just the occasional blip, but it's still true to say Dundee are traditionally the big team in Dundee.

Simply laughable, I'm affraid. Just because Dundee were the bigger side 40 or more years ago does not mean that is the case now.

ToadKiller Dog Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Mind that report some university did must be around 10 years ago claimed there was around 400,000 people who would claim to support or have an interest in Hearts . Had all the other scottish and English clubs . Claimed we were in the top 20 clubs in UK for potential support I think . Is it still around ?

Your old man can buy anywhere until 5pm tomorrow, then move at the same time as you. Alternatively he will have to wait until Monday and see what is available then, but with no guarantee he will end up beside you, unless you wait until Monday to move yourself.

I take it that is now ruled out given extra time has been given for renewal. I'll live. No extra time has been given for renewals, all that's happening is that when season tickets go back on sale on Monday after the moving period, the first couple of days are still going to be at phase one prices to give folk who want to buy just now, but can't because seats aren't available, the chance to buy on Monday or Tuesday at the lower price when more seats have been freed up.

Mr Sifter Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 cheers mate. Proud of myself. And at ?50 of course the wee man is coming! Good stuff. Those ?50 bairns tickets are absolutely brilliant. As other have said tho, I wish Hearts had staggered the pricing as the bairns grow. My laddie is 13 this year so his was ?200! Bit of a jump eh!! Still, a minor complaint. We've had a couple of years of the ?50 ticket so I cannie complain!! Enjoy the ride next season mate ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Based on the uptake, I'm wondering if we under valued our tickets and may have lost out on some money. I paid ?300 for mine, would probably have felt the same way of paying upwards to about ?330-350 before I moaned, under 12's @?50, would something like ?80 caused that much of a outcry? Hibs start at around ?350 and Rangers at about ?400. @ ?350 we would need to sell 17% more tickets to make the same money, I have no idea what their child tickets are priced at. A sell out is good, but could cost us a wee bit of money in terms of ticket sales although a sold out stadium, of course has other commercial advantages as well as footballing ones.

Gorgie_Rules Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Just to clarify for those wondering.... All current available seats (under 50 of them left) are able to be purchased up until tomorrow 5pm. From Thursday to Sunday anyone who has purchased a season ticket can move seats to any seat that has not been taken up as a renewal, or to any of the unsold seats mentioned above. From Monday, all seats that are not taken after the moving peroid will be available to purchase, with the prices remaining the same as phase 1 for Monday and Tuesday only due to the demand. From next Wednesday the Phase 2 prices will be charged. If you know for certain you cannot renew your current season ticket, it would be good if you could email the club to let them know to help out other fans that are looking to move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I wonder if most people moving from other stands to the Roseburn are vacating seats very near the front.
