This whole situation could have been avoided. Started by taking 4 days to decide the TV games, then another week to release tickets, 11 whole days wasted. Unfortunately this is just the icing on a rather poor process for a reasonably high profile event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably (hopefully) liaising with Motherwell about what to do, as Hearts will not only have collections to dish out but there's potentially hundreds of fans with tickets stuck in the post so it'll take a bit more organising from both sides for those people to get sorted.

Saint Jambo Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I imagine the two clubs are working together to come up with a solution. Setting up ticket booths at Motherwell seems sensible but will need to consider logistics like where to source a booth and queuing arrangements for potentially thousands of fans. More problematic is that for the tickets stuck in the post, if they hand out replacements they leave themselves open to fans abusing the system and ending up with duplicate tickets allowing an extra person in. We've seen similar problems at various Celtic and Rangers games as well as at games in England. Naive to think itnwouldn't happen at a Hearts game.

Tickets in the post is the big issue They may not even have posted the tickets that were sold on Wednesday as TO closed early on Wed and has been closed since. Tickets to be collected is easily fixed with a pop-up booth at Fir Park on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true but to say they will make an announcement later in the day and here we are at 16.04pm and not a cheap from them, not great. They could at least say they are in discussions and suggest what the possibilties might be regarding people still waiting on their tickets. There surely can't be that many options!!!

Fly the Saltire Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Morton chairman is correct, SFA have no consideration for the fans. Yes the pitches are playable and local access OK but with limited public transport, particularly on Sunday, and minor roads still covered in snow, even if it is safe to travel there there will great difficulty in getting parked anywhere near the ground.

Exactly, probably around 1000 vehicles (not including Well supporters who need to drive to Fir Park) arriving within a 1-mile radius of Fir Park, all the side streets already rammed with snowed in cars. As much as I'd love to be going on Sunday I still can't see how the authorities can weigh it all up and come to any other conclusion than postpone. Hope I'm wrong obvs..

Motherwell will continue to work closely with all agencies, local authorities and Police Scotland into tomorrow. All concerned are confident that the fixture will go ahead as planned. Any further updates with regards to the match will be released as and when required. The Hearts Ticket Office will open tomorrow at 10am for ticket collections. No post has been uplifted from Tynecastle since Wednesday due to the weather, so any fans who have selected postage when purchasing from Wednesday should proceed to the Ticket Office to collect their tickets.

So fe@k any of you who have purchased a ticket by post, who live out of town and cannot get to the ticket office on Saturday and cannot or don't want to get somebody else to collect it. Is this the only offer the club are making for ticket collection? As I posted earlier "We have your money chuckles...." Suggestions like ticket booths at the game are sensible alternatives. It will be very interesting to see if when the supporters take over ownership of the club, and if this situation arises again, that collection would be the only option. Also raises the real issue of duplicates being printed and seats being sold twice. Appreciate it is tough times but come on Hearts fans in this day and age don't all live in Gorgie Road.

Sooperstar Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'm sure if you tell the club that you can't collect your tickets then they will issue a refund. You would like to think they have at least investigated the possibility of setting up a collection point at Fir Park. Not much more they can do though for a situation which was outwith the control of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
