1953 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I just don't get the Hearts have to pay for unsold tickets claim, Hearts are selling them on behalf of Motherwell not buying them off them surely. Looks to me like Hearts simply underestimated the demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1953 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 One of the issues IMO was that we put them on sale without any warning, normally the announcement would say the tickets will go on sale at 9.00am tomorrow but it was a free for all straight away as long as you picked up the announcement. There will be folks who were at work without internet etc and won't have picked up on it until most if not all the tickets were gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a cross over in comms between the 2 clubs. I'd imagine we'd need to check with Motherwell first that they were able to cope logistically with the sale of another 1000+ tickets.

PurfJambo1902 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Motherwell Chief exec Allan burrows on twitter - Being truthful, I’m not 100% sure. The two ticketing departments would’ve handled that... I suspect it would’ve been sold right to left (top and bottom), as you look at the stand from the pitch. But yea, there will be more tickets available... think we dan all relax now, with his last sentence in mind ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgie_Rules Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Don’t think anyone can have a pop at the club for this, not one Hearts fan could have predicted we would sell 3,500 tickets in 24 hours. I didn’t think we would take 3,500 in total with it being on BBC on a sunday, making use of the loyalty point system would only have slowed sales with the timescales involved and people having to wait until thresholds drop to sit next to each other etc. The question now is whether Motherwell have sold tickets in their stand which Rangers and Celtic usually get and whether they will potentially have (or want) to give us that too. I know a lot of folk who regularly go to away games that don’t have their ticket yet. I suspect the additional 1,400 will go very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask any supporters club about the demand since the draw was made and it would be fairly obvious that we were going to take a massive support through. Hopefully the extra tickets go on sale soon and everyone who wants one gets one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboJen Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 By all accounts the interest from supporters clubs was higher than Hearts expected. Common sense should have told them that that would have extended to the wider Hearts support, especially when Raith sold out last year at similar prices and in an earlier round. Can't really see the issue in having a loyalty point phase, say from 35+ points, from 2pm Friday with a general sale starting 9am Tuesday. 3.5 days for loyalty points, 5 days for general sale. Time for posting for either phase where required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more that demand for tickets this season suggests no need to put limit when there is up to 4,800 seats for a game live on BBC. Hibs not sold out yet even. But the main issue with time is messing with people getting seats together, waiting for points to go down more than once. In just 8 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilnunb Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Usually the last day for posting to be guaranteed your ticket arriving is the Wednesday. The club were left with little option but to go straight to a general sale. Blame Motherwell for not handing us the tickets sooner. Wonder if they leave it this late when the OF are visiting?

It’ll be a tiny minority, if any at all, that misses out on a ticket.

I hope you're right, it looks like there's going to be a bit of a scramble for the final tickets now, though. If all 4,900 had been available at the start I'd be sitting with tickets now, along with quite a few regular attendees who have also missed out initially. Now there's an artificial race on for the final lot of tickets, which isn't ideal when the announcement will most likely be made during working hours again. I already had alerts set up for the HeartsTickets Twitter but that'll be refreshed every moment I get once I start work tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but Hibs not yet on general sale. If it was I think it would have been sold out days ago. Hibs away seems to be a game that many high loy pts guys dont go to anymore.

CJGJ Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Why would Motherwell require us to sell all the tickets on a non refundable basis ?..they are not going to have their own fans in that stand so what does it matter as there will not be any extra costs to any major extent..and of course the more tickets sold they more both clubs benefit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in that situation Motherwell (and Hearts as we get half the gate) were correct to see what the initial demand was like before committing.
