You're not a good enough fan to get first dibs on a ticket to easter road. There are thousands of people that go to more games than you and they quite rightly deserve a chance to get a ticket before you (and me!) Just accept it, its the fairest system.

TheList Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 3 hours ago, Pasquale for King said: Nothing wrong with the system, it gives points to those who go to all the games. I don’t have enough points either and been to all the games you have plus the semi final, why should I get one ahead of someone who’s been to more games this season and last for instance? Points are added AFTER the away game has been played to stop people abusing the system. I can’t get to many away games, that’s not the clubs fault so why should they make an exception for me or anyone else for that matter? This is my view why should i easily get to pittodrie on a friday night but only have a chance to get a derby ticket because its the game everyone wants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy in the TO they go on straight away. That's the facts regardless of what it says on the website. Yep I was proved to be mistaken there and already apologised ?. I think it used to be different, I remember asking at the ticket office a wee while back about buying tickets for other away games and being told they go on after. I think I was trying to get someone else a ticket for ER if memory serves. TV for me this time I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure the points have been dropped the last few Easter road visits. I think the TO just set the bar high early on so that they can stagger the sale a bit and not be drowning in a deluge of sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure if I want to go tbh, haven’t seen us win there for a while and the last time I didn’t go we won 3-1 when Rudi scored si maybe I shouldn’t ??

rubyruby Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Seen quite a few begging posts on Facebook about getting a ticket for derby.I know people that buy tickets even tho they can't go but sell them on,that way they get the points anyway. However it does irk me when there's a "pay at the gate" at away grounds,as u lose out on points & that's unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. There's usually an option to buy tickets for a while before any cash gate is announced so you can still get points. If theres no advance ticket sales and only a cash gate then no-one gets any points which keeps things equal all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalstonjambo Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 14 hours ago, Skippy Doodle said: I understand the personal frustration some will feel when LP threshold is announced as there can be work,family or financial reasons which prevent them from attending more matches and I do empathise with that BUT the people who do attend on a more regular should not be punished and the LP system (although not perfect is the best system we have) I don't understand how they can be frustrated though? The system is quite clear. Attend games and buy tickets from Hearts in advance and you will get tickets. The system rewards loyalty in terms of those who attend games. Personal circumstances are just that. Personal. I say that as a London based season ticket holder who always had enough tickets for every game I wanted up until 2 seasons ago. The reason i don't have enough for Easter road now? I have 2 young kids so don't really go to away games now for the sake of my marriage. (I still have 53 points). Am I a loyal fan because i travel a long way for games? Yes. Am i more loyal than those who have been to away games this season? No. The system is absolutely fine. People only ever moan about it for Easter Road or a cup semi/final. There's a reason for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really never ever fails to amaze me that there are so many people who moan about not being able to get a ticket for these games, yet openly admit they never bother watching Hearts outside of the Edinburgh.

Morgaro Gomis Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I’m actually surprised that the threshold is as low as 67, maybe it’s due to the cull that happened earlier in the year but I always expect the Derby threshold to start at around 80/90 points. 67 is a reasonably easy target to hit, you don’t even need to attend many of the away games to get there due to the 2 year rolling system. People who moan about it only have themselves to blame, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boag1874 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The LP system aint perfect by any stretch but it is the fairest system you could put in place. Why should someone who never goes to away games get a ticket before someone who follows the team all over the country? My personal circumstances mean that, as much as I'd like to, I can't get to every game. However they're my personal circumstances and hearts fans who do get to every game 100% deserve priority over me for the big games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
