Buffalo Bill Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Can anyone tell me why we didn’t sell tickets for the bottom corner of Section T? There was was also a small block of unsold (hospitality) seats in upper S (just above the concourse). If the game was ‘sold out’ why not just sell some of these seats to fans on the day?

I was wondering the same about lower T in the corner. I suspect it's just not been properly configured into the seating plan as it's different on ticketmaster (it shows more like what the original seating would have been down there). I'm suspecting someone just hasn't gotten round to updating it yet. My presumption about the upper S tickets was that they were set aside for family/friends of players - they had been allocated upper P last season but appear to have been moved. All three hospitality suites in the main stand were sold out on Saturday, so one presumes all of their allocated seats would be occupied.

More poor admin effort! It was mostly empty during the league cup games too and did the singing team not get told off for trying to move over and occupy those seats by an overzealous steward? Having looked on etickets, the St Mirren game still shows those seats as unavailable (with the original police box cutout taking away seats).

Mark Martin definitely said it was sold out - which now I take to mean "sold out of regular seats available for sale online.". However, the club were clearly selling unsold hospitality tickets at the back of Section X - but not online. There's no doubt this will have cost the club lost revenue - there must still have been 100 or more empty seats in X that could have been announced for sale at the very least. I also noticed there was still one row of unsold seats at the front of Roseburn section K immediately behind the goal. I really don't understand what this is all about.

stirlo Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 The issue of the empty seats on Saturday was discussed at some length on another thread but the thing is, this has been going on for a long time now and once again it is clearly not just a case of season ticket holders not turning up, because there are whole rows and clusters of empty seats together. The club really need to sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your last pic the cameraman would have been standing with his back against the wall to fit all three people in shot. Given its size it’s uses would be pretty limited in not being used for TV.

Think they have been trying to play catchup for some time with the building works, i've got a NFL season ticket for the london games and it would have been around March/April when the Wembley tickets were on sale, at the time the tickets for the Seahawks v Raiders game were held back because the seating plan hadn't been finalised and they didn't want to sell tickets that might end up with a restricted view due to the additional cameras required for an NFL game, I still find it strange that a stadium that has an NFL pitch built into the design that they didn't also plan for the additional camera positions with removable sections of seats.

JayTeeJnr Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Does anyone have pictures from inside the completed TV Studio? Great that we've finally got one rather than the temporary structures over the seats in Gorgie or Roseburn. Have to say, I was really impressed with the new club shop / ticket office when I was up for the Celtic game. The interior of the main stand looks so much better since I was last there with a lot of paint having been applied.

That's very sensible and reassuring to hear. With the structure in place and already earning much more matchday revenue than its predecessor, then there's no huge hurry to fit out the rest. I like the 'no borrowing' approach being taken. I still think the stand was built in too much of a tearing rush in the 1st place but lessons seem to have been learnt with the much slower pace of the fit out.

Great to have you back and firing on all cylinders, sir btw Cheers thanks for the kind words SJ - appreciated. The stand was indeed designed and built in a bit of a rush, however this was entirely due to the time constraints imposed on the Club externally. As has been previously confirmed the Council were going to tear down the existing nursery, and had committed to the parents to have a new facility opened by a certain date. If they had gone ahead with this then we would never have been able to built a new stand as a new nursery building would have blocked the development. As such the Club had to rush through a land purchase from the Council, get plans through the planning approval process, and get the new stand build (with integrated nursery) all within the timescale the Council had promised the parents for the new nursery. Mistakes were made, however at the end of the day the legacy for us all will be a fantastic 'new' Tynecastle Park that we can all be proud of. Footnote: Despite meeting the tight deadline the Council set for the Club to have the integrated nursery ready THEY are late with their fit-out!

That footnote is a classic and not a complete surprise. Councils are the same everywhere I was well aware of the need to rush through planning and design at a rate of knots with the nursery issue but less so re the ridiculous speed of the actual construction itself. I made the trip North for what turned out to be the 1st home win in front of the new stand v Motherwell last December and sat in it. Though impressed and pleased, I was somewhat shocked at how rough round the edges it was in places. Nothing that can’t be remedied in the fullness of time though. Looking forward to my next trip up to see it again. Proud of it, we most certainly can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A huge full colour hearts badge made out of wet pour rubber softfall would look great and I reckon that would be the type of image that would stick in memory of young kids. I still remember a wee swingpark I used to go to in Queensferry which I've not been to since I was 7. I always called it 'the crab park' due to the crabs and seahorses on the floor.
