Semi Final Dot Count

I don’t think it’ll be that bad, even if we don’t start selling W8.

 

 If you have a look on e-tickets, you’ll see that the sections aren’t split up like Tynie (with a staircase separating each section). At Murrayfield they split right down the middle and each section having two stair cases up the middle, splitting the sections into 3 columns. 

 

Naturally people in W6 and W10 will stretch out and end up moving a few seats into W8 - taking up the outer columns.

 

You’ll probably also have people in the upper sections of W6 and W10 decide to move to the front middle column of W8 for a better view. All in all, I think it would just be the middle top section of W8 that might be completely free.

Well played Hearts/SPFL.

Is that the case? Someone told me you had to have bought a ticket for a game in the past 18 months to be able to buy tickets.

Then they were wrong.

 

You had to be on the database prior to 26th September.

 

4 tickets each they could buy.

 

Supporters who registered an account with Hearts either via the Ticket Office or on the eTicket's website on, or prior to, the 26th of September 2018 will be eligible to purchase tickets.

Missing dots!!

 

The lovely fantastic Jalbo has accounted for approximately 30,500 dots in the

maroon half of the stadium. Assuming the Celtic are allocated the same (??) that gives the clubs a combined 61,000 allocation!

 

So where are the missing 6,000 dots???

 

Surely, surely, surely the SPFL have not allocated Celtic 35/36,000?? Not saying I’d be against that (looks like we will be short of 30,000 allocation/ sales) but lack of transparency would be a concern!!

They will be for cooperate smooshing from Neil in a stadium he doesn’t think is better than Hampden, and I think around 1,000 to 1,500 for segregation

PS these were the last words from Longmuir CEO of the SFL  before the SPL / Doncaster took over the merged (SPL / SFL) organisation

 

“We trust the custodians of the new body will continue to work in an open, trustworthy and professional manner for the good of our national game"

There’s a good chance Celtic maybe got around 10% more tickets than us - strange it wasn’t officially announced though.

 

I don’t think we’d really have moaned about that too much - us with 30k, them 33k. Will make **** all difference.

See if my tickets dont come in the post, i can just get them re-printed from the ticket office before hand can't I?

There's a possibility they're already at the TO anyway. Someone else on another thread said his were sitting there for collection when he'd paid for postage (no idea whether he or the TO were right though, but mistakes do happen).

Yeah was thinking they might have just held them incase they didnt arrive. Fairly sure that they do that after the Wednesday before a Saturday match even if you select postage.

 

Thanks

Mine have not arrived , been in touch with TO since Thursday. They say were sent on 19th that’s over a week now. As it’s not Hearts game re prints have to be done by Murrayfield and you have to be on a list of re prints to be collected at Murrayfield TO after 11am on Sunday so would request a re print ASAP as I have.  If your tickets arrive you won’t need the re print but least your covered. TO has been so busy been sending e mails ((Lindsey) and given this info in replies

My cottage is situated off the rd behind 4 other cottages and if anybody’s coming to visit for the first time, I have to stand at the rd like a $20 whore! If I get a new postie, I don’t get mail for weeks!!

 

ps Ah’ve not made a dink Hawkin ma mutton so far btw

[Jambomuzz]

I can’t see us selling the remainder before Sunday unfortunately.

 

question... how did Anne get to purchase more than 4 tickets... rules for one and rules for another it seems ?. Go on Anne, give another 200 away!! 

[letsalldothebeattie]

Only W2,4 & 6 available on e tickets a large part of 6 up the back available not too many in other two sections a nice wee burst today would do nicely to get it at least very close to the sell out

[henry]

Been selling 4-500 per day up until now and that should continue today I’d have thought with hopeful a few extra since it’s the weekend. ??

Full house matches at Hampden such as Cup finals the tickets are never split solely between the teams. Usually 23k tickets each leaving 5k troughs oops sorry tickets for blazers etc.

They are just moving the troughs to Murrayfield on this occasion.

[Jambos_1874]

Hearts have been getting crowds of around 18k this season at Tynecastle. There are now going to be another 10k on top of that at Murrayfield. Are these extra fans mainly just Jambos who don't go all that often but are coming along because it's in Edinburgh and it's a big game and also perhaps family members of those who go on a regular basis but aren't normally fussed? Perhaps lots of neutrals too?

Probably a mix. I reckon there will be about 25,000 hearts fans who go to tynecastle in a season , just not all at the same time. Eg my son has been once this season, and my daughter twice I think. They'll both be there tomorrow but the guy I usually sit beside will be on a badly planned cruise with his wife.

[Thomson1874]

Great to see that Jimmy Dunne is offering a couple of tickets to anyone who is struggling for one on his instagram. Players must be desperate for a sell out as well!

That's a lovely gesture. I really like Jimmy. Even watching the Murrayfield training video on Hearts TV he was one of the first out of the tunnel onto the pitch and he immediately said, "where will the Hearts fans be?" I know it's a phrase often used, but the guy just gets us. I'm sure he'll be asking to have his loan extended until the end of the season.

My brother's the same. He only goes omce or twice a season (partly as he lives outwith Scotland) but he his definitely a Jambo. Even if he lived here he would probably only go to a handful of games and definitely semis/finals. I suppose there are a lot of Jambos out there like that. It woudl be great if we could get even some of the fans who come along on Sunday to become regulars and sell out Tynecastel every week, even for the minor games against Hamilton, Livi etc.

Total seats apparently sold with the usual caveats:  28,595**

 

**Including grey'd out hospitality, wheelchair, blind and PA sales, it looks as if we could currently be around 28,820 tickets sold. It looks as if we've sold 70 since 8pm last night.

 

The last section to go on sale is W8 with a capacity of 1,117.  Including seats remaining from current sections on sale, we have 1,768 left from our allocation of around 30,550.

Nah, it’s right. You can work it as W2 is the section below the commentary box (so less rows). W4 is the next entrance/exit, W6 the one after that and so on. 

 

The seating plan on the back of our tickets is a little skewed. W10 is a lot more along the touchline than it appears just because of the angle it is taken from - this seating plan shows you a bit more what it’s actually like.

The TO boy might be estimating by the number remaining. I.e. they’ve still got just over 2k tickets left, so sold just under 28k. Might be unaware that the total allocation is actually closer to 30.5k, meaning sales are closer to the 28.5k counted by Jalbo et al. 

 

Also wouldn't account for hospitality sales.

Yeah you're right, you can tell from the entrance/exits. I thought W10 was more in the corner. Didn't help that those sections are massive!!

We come up for 5 or 6 games a season normally....generally in the school holidays. It’s our third game so far this season so we couldn’t be counted as regulars but we still love watching Hearts! 

This has worked out perfectly as it’s the start of our half term.

People go through phases. 

 

There’s 7 in our group going on Sunday. 5 of which aren’t present ST holders, but all were at one point in time (talking multiple seasons, even decades, not just one). Other commitments can take over - work, studies, family - but these people are still Jambos to the core. Ask them, and they’ll all be of the view that they will be ST holders again but for whatever reason, haven’t managed it the last few seasons. 

 

The fact that major games at Tynie are now regularly sold out and on TV, also makes it far easier to justify not going along but those people are still there - cup parades have shown that. 

 

Price plays a large part as well. It would be complete financial suicide to do this and is not a serious suggestion, but if ST prices were £100/£50  and capacity allowed, then I reckon we’d potentially shift 30k or more.
