Gold debentures sold 216 seats at £3,500 a head. Silver were taken up by 1,340 fans at £1,750 each, while Bronze debentures at £650 and £450 a piece sold 2,444 seats.

Bronze wasn’t too bad a deal. Had you went for it, you would have got 6 Hearts games off the top of my head, plus at least 2 internationals every year...plus all the OF games you probably could’ve sold the tickets for. I daresay, selling all but the Hearts tickets for face value individually probably would’ve given you a nice profit.

If only the spfl / sfa could see that their number1 job is to promote and develop the game here. My 8 year old cant wait to go to murrayfield. He was gobsmacked when I told him it was 3 times the size of tynecastle and we had sold 25,000 tickets. He’s now able to go with his pals and 7 of us are now going, none of us would have been at hampden on the Sunday evening. Same here.

tazhearts Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Do the row's at Murrayfeld start at A? Just got my hands on my ticket which said row O. Had a panic thinking it was a zero and therefor the front row (rubbish view). But I've been reassured it's an O and the row's are by letter!
