henry Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I buy tickets for someone that’s not on the data base but he’s a genuine Hearts fan. He goes to 2-3 games a season but isn’t registered. Shame if there’s folk like that not getting tickets. Not saying there’s an easy solution but it will be happening. Hopefully any Hearts fans like that can find a mate You can buy tickets for Hearts games without being on the data base. Bit of a shame if you can’t get a ticket for this reason. Still had a fair bit of time to sort it out tbf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munro9 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 my old man is almost 80 and a lifelong Jambo. I got tickets for my son and I but he decided not to come. It turned out he forgot the game had been switched to Murrayfield so after a chat he got the bus up to Tynecastle to get a ticket. Waited in a big queue only to be told he couldnt buy a ticket as he had no buying history (I always buy our tickets). He got little in the way of explanation so left without a ticket feeling understandably pissed off. I managed to get him one with my details but a bit of common sense and we could have shifted more tickets and not wound people up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much scope with the North Stand because of the proximity of the road behind, and the South Stand is about as big as it can be. Unless the whole place is bulldozed, the East and West stands seem to be the only realistic redevelopment opportunities - and making those stands closer to the pitch is likely to mean losing capacity rather than adding to it.

It is just unfortunate that it is an approach which while understandable is also impacting on both genuine HMFC fans and visitors to the city.
