Paolo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Makes sense. Very naive on my part. Guess I've never really thought too much about it. Seems steep anyhow It is a bit, yes, especially if you are printing from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I suspect not but figure it's worth a punt... Does anybody know if concession tickets apply to students for this game?? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstandjambo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Just under 1100 seats left in Wheatfield. Should get over 5000 for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Thurs night against Arbroath its not really unexpected or embarrassing.i actually forgot it was on until earlier in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgaro Gomis Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 A Thurs night against Arbroath its not really unexpected or embarrassing.i actually forgot it was on until earlier in the week. I'd still say 5,000 or less is an embarrasing attendance for the size of Hearts. To put it in some kind of perspective it is roughly the equivalent of Cetlic getting around 15,000 which, make no mistake, they would be slated for. Given we had 10,000, paying ?6 a ticket more, for a meaningless preseason game - it's pretty poor that we will only have around half that at our first competitive game of the season. I don't find it totally surprising; but, that doesnt change the fact that it is quite embarrasing and equally disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboJen Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The attendance will be disappointing, although I hope the decision to open the Gorgie to cash sales will boost it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macg63 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 you can only sell the tickets for the price that Arbroath agree, for some reason, all the big clubs now treat the cup games as games to use your full squad in the early rounds, and if you progress to the latter stages, you then try to win it --that's why fan's don't go, just need to look at the attendance's in the FA cup and Scottish cup 3rd 4th and 5th rounds--pish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said above, I am not surprised that the sales are poor, more disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homme Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I know its virtually the same thing (just a different way of spinning it) but attendences should never be slated. The amount of empty seats is fair game though. Everyone at the game tonight are the guys that have done their bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the general Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Yup, and if I remember correctly they were slated for it. As I said above, I am not surprised that the sales are poor, more disappointed. most clubs are the same nowadays but we certainly seem to be one of the worse thing is if we get to the final then how many folk will want one then?

Agree, especially when an old codger like me never even deliberated about not turning up to the first competitive fixture. Looking forward to this more than I did for a non event game last Sunday.

On Sunday though we will have one of the biggest %age of attendance v available seats in Scotland. A trend which is likely to continue throughout the whole season. A support of extremes!

Not sure Hearts fans should be slated for this. The amount of money we have collectively raised over the last 2 and half years and are still contributing on a monthly basis should provide a bit of slack.

luckydug Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I just can not understand folk not wanting to go to the first competitive game of the season. As it happens I attended last Sunday but if it had come to a choice between a competitive cup tie or a friendly it would be a no brainer the Cup tie every time for me. Perhaps with the manager coming out and saying he will be playing his strongest team of fully fit players we may see a late rush at the Gorgie pay at the gate entrance. I'm looking for about 6000 which would be about par for the course for these games. An optional cup top up on our STs would be a good idea I think. Thats why Hibs cup attendances do not vary from league attendances like ours do. They have had that option on their STs for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC86 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 That's not an excuse it's a fact I'd say fair enough if folk can't afford it. The fans have been great over the last couple of years. However there are definitely people who can afford it, aren't busy and just cba. Each to their own but I find it strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydug Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 This in no way meant as an excuse but attendances have been dire for this competition for years. Especially against lower league teams. I remember when Montrose pulled off a shock 2-0 win against us in 1986 there was only about 7000 there iirc. That was just a couple of months after we came a whisker away from the League Title.

heartsfc_fan Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Looks like Wheatfield is just about sold out. Only really tickets left in sec G. Wheatfield holds about 5,900, so hopefully we'll have a crowd of 7,000 on the night if we get a decent amount of walkups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
