SwindonJambo Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Tomorrow is the last day of Phase 1 pricing. Hopefully a late surge. I wouldn't rule out a few more sales in Phase 2 when people find themselves able to get a season ticket through circumstance changes. Good signings would help too. We could yet get close to 14,000. Meanwhile the neeburrs are nearly 5,000 behind and that after the bounce of a Cup Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romanov Stole My Pension Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Any other season I would think it makes sense to cap STs, but if our capacity is increasing by 3k next season then we should be trying to reel in as many season ticket holders now as possible. It would be awful to give the old firm back the full Roseburn end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fxxx the SPFL Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I hope I am wrong but I think season tickets will drop off once the new stand is completed there is a clamour just now because of limited walk ups with people looking to guarantee a ticket for the European games with the extra capacity of the new stand ST's may reduce I hope I am wrong and who knows if we have a really good season sales may increase further.

Keith Talent Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Similar age and I agree that the segregation seems way too big, however one drunken Dundee Utd fan climbed over the segregation banner and pretty much got to the Hearts fans before he got put back in his own section by the stewards last season. This managed to get reported in the press as 'crowd trouble' and was brought up in the official report to the SFA. I mean really, Dundee Utd fans?? Given the cup final shenanigens don't expect segregation to be reduced anytime soon. If football fans could stop acting like bellends this sort of stuff could be looked at, but at the moment no chance. That scenario was ridiculous-as you say one drunken Utd boy. It's been noticeable since that game that there is a far bigger segregation between us & the away fans meaning unsold seats & less revenue for the club. There really is no reason why there should be more than a couple of seats between Hearts fans & St J, Inverness, Hamilton etc, no history of bother at these games. You suspect the Ross Co drum fiasco doesn't help Hearts in arguing that case though sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott herbertson Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 You wonder if section K will be opened up Scott if demand is ongoing......... I don't think it will - we seemed to have reached saturation point - despite the Phase closing today I'm not thinking there will be a rush - maybe sell 20 or so more. Then the prices are higher so again don't think we will shift many more. I can't see the point of a phase 2 TBH - just keep selling them till the first fixture? Every now and then I hanker after Fireworks Phil who would undoubtedly have shifted the rest of them (tho probably by spending loads of money on promoting them) I would like to see something simple like 25% discount for ST holders and FOH members for the Europa games to encourage the last few waverers to buy up a ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the prices weren't about to go up, there would probably be a significant number of people who have bought season tickets who would instead be waiting to see whether the new signings over the summer excite them at all before making a decision. It's admittedly less of a factor just now with the numbers of tickets we're selling, as people are also having to buy early to get decent seats, but that might not be the case every year.

JALBO Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 It would interesting to know what Hearts prepared for this season in terms of Season Ticket sales. I think it's obvious that AB & co budget on what might be termed 'realistic forecasts', and I wonder, when it came to anticipated season ticket sales for this coming season, if they planned based on something less than 13,000. I imagine they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clerry Jambo Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 By: Hearts Media on 13 Jun, 2016 13:37 The phenomenal demand for 2016/17 season tickets shows no sign of ending, and therefore we will sell tickets up to a record 14,000 mark. This leaves only 300 or so available for Season 2016/17 and the club has extended Phase 1 pricing until this superb total has been achieved and thereafter, season ticket sales will cease. Achieving an unprecedented season ticket sell out ensures that a record amount of season tickets holders would be in Tynecastle for every home game as the feel-good factor continues for the upcoming Premiership and Europa League campaign. It is also a huge boost for Robbie and the team because everyone knows that the atmosphere in a sold out Tynecastle is second to none and this can only help the boys on the field. All additional information is available in our season ticket brochure Once again, we would urge fans to consider paying by cash or cheque. Last season, over half of you responded to this request which was fantastic. This meant we had immediate access to this money to progress various initiatives within the business.

Gorgie_Rules Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Any idea how many walk ups we usually get week to week? I'm guessing that number may be a little less this season due to as many season tickets. With a new capacity of around 20,500, 14k season tickets do we think we'll be able to shift 6,500 (including away fans) every home game to continue the sell outs? Don't think it can be achieved without giving the OF and Hibs the full end, but the demand has continued to surprise these past 2/3 years A minimum 16,000 average in a season will see us comfortably 3,500 - 4,000 ahead of non-old firm clubs. When that equates to a bigger playing budget we should start to see ourselves firmly established as a top 3 club every season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 A good season with new stand could add at least another 1,000 plus season ticket holders. As others have said choice may be around giving more away fans. But season ticket holders now well established in Roseburn. Club May prefer to allow these to stay there.
