No mention of Scottish Cup/William Hill. I couldn't have made a mistake and bought my own seat for Saturday as I have the season ticket! I guess someone has cocked it up but the bar code will still work? Noticed a few folk had that for the last round as well. Don’t know why that happens.

I know what you mean as you cant force people to go. If you were a player and you walked out to 10,000 a week on Saturday, you would think the fans are not interested in this competition. Also gives the opposition a massive lift before a balls kicked. Walk out to a near full/full house and the boost to the players would be huge.

I think our our problem is how to market games like this. having won the cup a few times, having put a lot more money into our club than any other fans, matches like this are ones that fans feel they can miss, not ones they feel they have to go to. Extra loyalty points would be good Maybe some sort of additional priority scheme for cup games if you attend the early rounds. more than this though, we need imaginative marketing of the type that ‘Fireworks Phil’ did early in the Romanov years.

For the league match this Saturday we will likely see a crowd of 16500-17000. Obviously that is mainly to do with season tickets but the league game is not as important as the cup game (in my opinion.) The best we can realistically finish is 4th this season but a win in the cup would see us 1 more win away from a potential return to Hampden for a semi final. I agree with you on the LPs as 1 point for this game isn't enough. Its also difficult to drop prices as Saints have a big say in this and I'd imagine they wouldn't play ball. In the previous round we sold out the stadium with the help of 3,500 away fans. The aim of that match was to progress in this competition which we have done. So the next round should be no different. Fans need to remember the feeling of winning the cup and if we want that again then we need to make the home advantage count a week on Saturday.

luckydug Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 One thing I like about cup ties is it gives me the chance to sit in a different area to my normal ST seat.

JamboJen Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 As an aside, I bought 5 tickets on the shop earlier as I was in the area. 2 in usual ST seats, the other 3 weren't. Was only given 3 tickets and told the 2 "ST" ones were added to our cards. Be interesting to see if that's deliberate this time and not a mistake!

King Of The Cat Cafe Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I can see where people are confused in the added to card/tickets posted out debate. My confirmation email states: "Any items that are sent via post would be delivered to the following address unless you have chosen another method of delivery:" And further down: Total face value £25.00 Add Access to Card £0.00 Admin Fee 1-3 £1.50 Total Amount Paid £26.50 Prior to the Hibs game the ticket office made a clear statement - in light of a lot of debate here and on Twitter - that it was printed ticket access only. Let's here from you again, TO... PS: I would have thought it would save a lot in postage and other faffing around to add admission to the ST cards - as has happened before.

SectionDJambo Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I would be very sceptical of smartcard entry. Some were told this last time and then told it was not the case. I went to the ticket office this morning, got the usual seats and paper tickets. The loyalty points being 1 for this game is a mystery to me. Hearts should be trying to encourage people to buy these tickets, for a game that we probably won’t sell out. I believe they should have given 10 points for this one, to reward fans for paying up, by giving them a better chance of getting tickets for any later round, or if we manage to go all the way to the final.

Add in 7-800 farmers max and attendance will be lucky to get above 13,000. That’s my take on it anyway. Need to remember that 50% of every £25 paid by a Hearts fan for a ticket goes to Saints. From a £20 ticket Hearts will get approx. £6-7 after match expenses are covered. Not worth spending a lot of money marketing tickets for such a poor return.
