HMFC 86 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 A theory, but given the apparent moving of the goalposts by foreign agents, suggested in the klaxon thread, perhaps we are reluctant make another announcement on sales, as the agents may want their client to get a bigger signing on fee, or wage, if they think we are raking in the money. That actually sounds plausible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth is that we possibly haven't tied anybody up for other reasons certainly the Reilly deal you would have thought should have been signed and sealed a while ago possibly it has and they are just waiting on timing to announce it. The standard in the Premier league whilst not brilliant is still better than the championship. I'm not worried about the midfield but we definitely require to strengthen in defence and another striker as others have mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstandjambo Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 if that is correct then if they are unsold for hospitality hopefully they can be used for walk ups. I think I read a while ago that the figure for hospitality is 200 in Section J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JALBO Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I think I read a while ago that the figure for hospitality is 200 in Section J. Being mindful of this then, and FF's note about 30 seats unavailable in T3, based on this morning's available seats, the figures would look like this: Total seats available:14,340 Less unsold seats: 908 (at 8am today, starts of Phase 2) Less variance in X: 75 (additional seats which may not have been available for ST sales) Les unavailable in N3: 105 (restricted view, not sold) Less unavailable in T3: 30 Less side seats in H: 27 Less hospitality in J: 200 POSSIBLE season ticket sales to date: 12,995 Although, as I mentioned in my epic count, it's possible that there are around 200 less seats available than we're assuming (bringing sales down to around 12,800) - equally, it's possible the variance in X - 75 - were available for ST sales, which would move the numbers sold up by as much 75.

upgotheheads Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 My shot at doing the mother of all dot counts ? showing number of seats available against section seating capacity (source: FF and others on this thread), percentage of available seats per stand sold as season tickets, and cross-referenced against last year?s sales information to provide statistical rigour and allow for further in-depth analysis??. Wheatfield A - 75 / 968 B - 63 / 802 C - 13 / 802 D - 3 / 772 E - 38 / 802 F - 52 / 802 G - 121 / 970 Total: 365 / 5,918 (94% of available seats sold as season tickets to nearest 1%) Roseburn H ? 22 / 765 J ? 112 / 718 Total: 134 / 1,483 (91% of available seats sold as season tickets to nearest 1%) Main N1 ? 4 / 207 N2 ? 2 / 234 N3 ? 101 / 580 P ? 24 / 366 Q ? 19 / 438 R ? 15 / 507 S ? 27 / 527 T1 ? 4 / 207 T2 ? 6 / 254 T3 ? 95 / 508 Total: 297 / 3,828 (92% of available seats sold as season tickets to nearest 1%) Gorgie V ? 30 / 674 W ? 8 / 634 X ? 15 / 367* Y ? 35 / 670 Z ? 31 / 766 Total: 119 / 3,111 (96% of available seats sold as season tickets to nearest 1%) *Total number of seats showing as open for season ticket purchases in section X Total seats available: 14,340 Less available seats: 915 Less variance in X: 75 (additional seats which may not have been available for ST sales) Les unavailable in N3: 105 (restricted view, not sold) Less side seats in H: 27 POSSIBLE season ticket sales to date: 13,218 To cross-reference this with last year, we were told season ticket sales were a little over 12,500. The capacity in the 3 stands (available for season tickets) last year shows as roughly 12,782, and we think there were about 80-90 available seats for general sale, which could suggest it is easy to overestimate available seats for whatever reason by roughly 200. Using this logic, it?s possible that the actual seats available for season ticket sales in the Main, Gorgie and Wheatfield stands is actually around 12,580 Using this figure to base the sales so far this year on, it would bring the total seats available for season ticket sales down to 14,140 ? which would give us the following scenario: Total seats available: 14,140 Less available seats: 915 Less variance in X: 75 (additional seats which may not have been available for ST sales) Les unavailable in N3: 105 (restricted view, not sold) Less side seats in H: 27 POSSIBLE season ticket sales to date: 13,018 Either way, it would appear plausible that we?ve sold a little over 13,000 tickets as Phase One draws to a close. If so, remarkable stuff really. I?m not doing that again. Hearts supporters in general and kickbackers especially are definitely a cut above your average supporter.

wavydavy Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 JALBO called it Ann just confirmed - on JKB first Think she must be reading kickback having made this comment in her statement ?I really cannot thank our supporters enough for their loyalty; but I also want to reassure them.

Fxxx the SPFL Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm certain that on match days there could be as many as 500 season tickets not being utilised if these all make their way back to the club that would generate an extra ?10-?12k each home match its all extra revenue for the jam tarts.

Don't shoot the messenger... I agree with JamboHeriot that, if we are doing well, we may well reduce it. However, this has been discussed in the past and something tells me we would have to give them two for segregation of not only seats but facilities downstairs and where they can put up the World War Z barriers !

Mikey1874 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 EEN article says season ticket "capacity" is 14,000 so we can pretty reliably count exact total sold now from remaining dots. 50 odd newly available in T1/2 and maybe a few in N2 today. Unless more to be released it should be 14,000 minus dots for the running total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
