If I was sitting here as a ST holder on 120ish LPs and having made the trip up to Cove on a Wed night, not to mention Bayview and sat through the Raith Rovers game, Id have been a bit pissed off. Why would said supporters have left it this long to get one? I’m still pretty sure everyone who wants a ticket will get one. The club can’t win.

Hardly fair on the more 'deserving' supporter though- for want of a better word. LPs for the first batch, steadily brouht down over a week and those who deserve one get one and the rest go to a free for all. Same amount of support and a fairer system.

Not sure how this is relevant. The other group matches were not in anywhere near as high demand! My point is relating to THIS match. Most people, such as myself have jobs and some may have been busy during the short period when the tickets we’re available. As they went so quickly on Wednesday (as was in a meeting for my employment) I could not get one at this point. Granted, like the club i still did not foresee an issue , given 5500 tickets were expected. These went extremely quickly. I tried for 3/4 an hour this morning but was unfortunately could not get a ticket. This was not expected and outwith my control (continuously on the phones and online to no avail) I am also on a 630am flight on Wednesday for work so will not be able to make the ticket office. That said I will try and get a ticket when the plane lands. Perhaps, as demand was so high initially, the club could have put the tickets today on LPs to ensure those who go to games get a ticket. (They could do this on Wednesday - even for a tenporary period —say 2pm on the day) Again, I appreciate the club might not have anticipated the demand but I strongly feel, those that go to games should be able to get a ticket and shouldnt be stuck in a scramble. Hope the team can continue to do well and lessons can be learned from this. I’m sure I will manage to get a ticket one way or other for Saturday (even in the home end at worst) Edited August 13, 2018 by comradejambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't announced as sold out until the afternoon and anyone with as many loyalty points as you're suggesting would remember the quick sales for the Motherwell and Raith games. An easy online purchase or phone call on a lunch break for anyone who couldn't get to Tynie that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the fact people clearly couldnt do that, some of whom have stated as much on this thread, you still think they could. I only managed to get one at the last minute and that was a total fluke otherwise Id likely have missed out entierly. But you know its eaay for everyone.

They were sold out by lunchtime though, as my brother found out when he went to tynecastle that day. He, plus his son and grandson still haven't managed to get tickets but he will be up there tomorrow morning to try again. I hate criticising the club at any time but I do think they should have had at least a day selling them with a decent amount of loyalty points required before the free for all. And I say that as someone who managed to get 5 tickets, one of them for someone with only 3 loyalty points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Hearts may be able to help. Just had a wee skek on London Hearts looks like it was the 4-1 game and McGinlay was the ref The bottle was chucked at the linesman but landed short !

The post you were replying to was quite obviously referring to the group stage games. I say quite obviously because it specifically said "group stage games"!!!! Your, and most people's, job didn't really have any bearing on ability to attend the group stage games. The point of the post you replied to was that the level of interest from the fans in attending the group stage games (at our own ground and with lower ticket prices) would understandably have had a significant bearing on the club's expectation for demand for the away game at Dunfermline. It's clear from reading through this thread that most people posting on it were also surprised at the level of demand. Your reply to that post made absolutely no sense at all in relation to the post you were replying to! FWIW, it will be a shame if fans who have traveled to the likes of the Cove and Raith games, as well as maybe season ticket holders too, miss out on tickets because some folk who only go to the odd game now and again managed to get in ahead of them, and I think you're right that the last batch of tickets (and probably the batch put on sale yesterday) should probably be sold with a LP threshold, and in hindsight, it would have been better if the first batch had been sold in a similar fashion. I'd suggest that you actually feed back your views on this directly to the club, as that's the most likely way that they'll get heard, and possibly acted on in the future! Good luck tomorrow, I hope you're off your flight in time to get on your phone and get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
