At the end of the day, if you're the type to take in a game on your holidays, you'll already know what teams are in the city you're visiting and what games are on while you're there. The time, effort and cost that we'd have to go into to advertise to a non hearts audience just won't bring in the results needed to make it worthwhile. Let's not forget too, Scottish football is likely be shitter than what these guys experience at home, we're generally not a huge draw to anyone but hearts fans. It's mainly the long weekenders i was looking at targeting and you'll find the travel agent will do most of the advertising with the Hotel chain and Hearts having an ad on their web site. Apart from category A games i'd make about 50 seats at the top of Section H or J available to begin with then again as the tickets go on sale if more Hearts fans are needing these seats available to visitors would decrease just like down south. As an example the seats 6 of us got down at Old Trafford were in the gods at the corner and quite a climb. Anyway all the details would be easy peasy for a Travel Company / Hotel chain to sort out and when you think of it Hearts really only have to sell the tickets.

Your 8 is the number we'll need to take off the count to adjust for my incorrect seating availability in the Roseburn though - so you'll maybe get a result after all!

Mir kind of makes me think that Edinburgh is missing a trick. When I was in Salou last year there was wee shops all over the place where you could book up loads of different trips. They had a fantastic day trip to Barcelona which included the stadium tour. This was also a bargain at only 30 euros. All we seem to have is the tour buses on Waverley bridge. Even if Hearts got a wee booth up there during the summer/festival we could sell the stadium tour and match tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but going by previous years they will take the online option away as soon as they start selling the single tickets for the Celtic game, probably about 10 days before it so in a couple of weeks time. After that you'd get them from the shop as you would need to choose a seat where the Celtic ticket isn't sold. When the tic game sells out, as it will, then your ST would only cover the other games.

Then again football is the best game in the world. Football fans on holiday go to the odd game if they can. I have been to Torquay Utd, Blackpool, Darlington, Newcastle (Whitley Bay), Peterbourgh ect on holiday when i was younger and loved going to a game. You don't have to be a Barca to have fans of football on either holiday or weekend breaks wanting to take in a game. When the ground is finished completly, which going by my information could be by the end of the year, Ann Budge will be spending more money for the season 19/20 on promoting the Hearts brand. Think big become a real force in Scottish football and remember this costs Hearts next to nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
