Pretty sure the other 1000 will go on sale soon so those needing tickets will get them. This is a question someone asked me on Facebook and I genuinely didn't know the answer. Why, if offered the full stand, did HMFC not just ask Motherwell to send them tickets for all the seats in that stand. As the money raised is shared it wouldn't have mattered if we had sold all the seats or not, would it (this is the question I was asked and it stumped me). Because if we had returned say 900 tickets in the away end Motherwell would have been unable to sell them to home supporters I don't think. Not sure if we would have been billed for any admin costs Motherwell would have incurred in producing and despatching the tickets mind you.

They are Crosscountry trains, not Scotrail usually decent length. From Edinburgh, Leeds and Sheffield to Glasgow. It's really just the 10.23 and 12.17 direct with the 13.13 getting to Morherwell at 13.54 which will most likely make you late for kick off. I'd advise getting on at Waverley for the later trains ie 12.17 certainly as might be ramned by Haymarket. Could really do with Football Special for this one.

Rocky jamboa Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Great effort, selling out 3,500 tickets in 24 hours. Pretty certain we'll get the other 1,000 tomorrow and might even give us some of the old stand but doubt it. Just shows you what having sensible ticket prices can do to ticket sales!

JALBO Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I imagine at some point today for sure. It's likely to be a scramble - unless we happen to get 1,000 or so in the main stand too, like the OF do. But I expect we'll only get the remaining South Stand tickets initially.

The Treasurer Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 As many posters will know I'm quick to criticise our support for not getting behind the team at times, so it's only fair that I acknowledge a great effort by our fans to sell out so quickly for this game. I'd hoped for a good support given the importance of the game but didn't expect this. As for the way sales have been handled, I think the club's hands were a bit tied on this one. I think there should have been some sort of LP threshold initially but plenty on here called for a general sale so I think the club were not going to please everyone regardless. Hopefully they get the rest of the away stand on sale soon and maybe even negotiate a section of the main stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively you can set up a twitter account on your phone turn on notifications on the hearts twitter page so you get a notification every time Hearts tweet. Thought there would have been a further announcement by now, even a tweet from Hearts to say that we are getting more tickets and awaiting to recieve them before putting on sale would do.

Famous 1874 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Just to let everyone know, I contacted Motherwell and they have sent down the remaining 1000ish tickets to Hearts this morning and then they will look to give Hearts some restricted view seats in their main stand if the away stand is completely full. I also contacted Hearts and they said that the tickets were sent but they have not arrived yet so keep an eye on their twitter feed for ticket information.

luckydug Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 111 LPs and possibly no ticket. Have to admit to taking my eye of the ball with this one. When it was announced that the match was on the TV I just assumed it would be more or less the normal away support for Fir Park. Thought all I had to do was walk in to the TO this morning and buy our tickets. When the assistant told me they were sold out I just assumed that we had only been given 1500 tickets to test the water. 3500 tickets sold over the weekend is unbelievable.
