Was about 20 seats in a cluster that became available. I guess they don't sell the restricted veiw seats till late on just in case the match isn't a sell-out and some may pay the discounted ticket price then sit in a full price seat. Who would know for sure. Edited August 10, 2018 by mitch41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when we first started this and it was the game against St Mirren in 2012 when we had just been hit with a winding up order over an unpaid tax bill. There was a few tickets left in the Roseburn and some poster from overseas bought them around 2:30pm to make it a sell out. We won 1-0 through a Danny Grainger free kick.

Jambof3tornado Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 At least we wont lose out on numbers with segregation but I'd sooner see old firm reduced to 1 section.

Not a huge issue That’s my understanding too. I’ve seen pictures from the single seats in A and the same seats opposite in T by the police box. You can see every inch of the pitch, but not the goal nets, so if a goal is scored at that end and you’re not sure if it’s going in or past the post, you’re only going to know from the crowd reaction, you won’t see the net bulge, which is the most satisfying part of watching a lot of goals. You’d also miss out if two players fell into the goal mouth and started fighting behind the line, as you’d not be able to see it. But that’s not a reason not to sell the seats as long as they are a good bit cheaper than other seats and folk know what they are buying, so hopefully Hearts are doing so.

Yes, completely clear of pillars etc. Nobody mentioned it when they were in the Wheatfield but when the new stand was built, folk were clambering to have a dig at the club, including some Hearts fans. The police box issue made it easier for folk to misrepresent things to the uninformed, but it’s as good as it could be. The “restricted” view seats in the Wheatfield were created when we lengthened the pitch by a couple of metres to be within UEFA requirements. When the posts were a yard or two further forward you could see most of the net area!as well from the last seats in A. When building he new stand they were always going to make it symmetrical.

JALBO Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, David McCaig said: Last 3 columns in T and N. Actually, the club have sold the 3rd column in for section N for this game, and about half of the 3rd column in in section T (the upper half, furthest from the police box). They've not released columns 1 and 2 at either end of the stand, and, unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't look like column 1 at either end of the Wheatfield has been sold either - although I stand to be corrected on this. So it's quite possible we've over 150 seats that still seem to be unsold because of poor sightlines. Happily, judging by the number of tickets that appear to have been released by season ticket holders and put up for resale by the club over the last few days we've probably sold about the same number of seats, so the club is probably 'evens' on potential revenue, but the official attendance will be impacted I suppose.

Hungry hippo Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Will be disappointed if the club don't release tickets for those last two columns. As pointed out the views are fine. Just slightly reduce the price - maybe a tenner discount. Edited August 10, 2018 by Hungry hippo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
