Just been in ticket office to get my grandsons ticket, , someone in front of me asked if there were any plans to open other stands & was told no as still many tickets left.

I was not able to get a ticket early doors and i don't want a seat with not so good view. I am probably spoiled as I have a good season ticket seat. I am hoping the club will eventually open the Wheatfield but if they do not then I will get a ticket for wherever. For sure, I will be at the game. They won’t though. Because there’s still loads of tickets left. You've more chance of them opening the Roseburn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livi will have their corner of the Roseburn, Sec A and B may open in the Wheatfield in the event of overflow as it did in the Caley match. A bit pedantic mate but Main Stand has circa 7000 seats I think Edited January 15, 2019 by Clerry Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this has been done to death but preventing st holders from keeping their own seat has been a mistake imo. In previous seasons, allowing 3 days priority for st holders usually meant a large portion of sold tickets. An empty Wheatfield will look crap.

I’m genuinely surprised at how low the uptake has been for this game. But I can see why Hearts haven’t moved to open the Wheatfield and can understand why they won’t now.

This is more about Christmas, money and tv than folk not getting their ST seat. It's just after Christmas and the games on the BBC. Some folks won't have the cash and I reckon a good proportion who have enough cash and would have bought a ticket if the game wasn't on tv will use their cash for other things seen as how they will see it anyway. I speak from experience as I was in that position myself some years ago. There will be folks who will now go to a league game because they'll watch the cup game on the box.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Start of a manic run of games at home through to end Feb. Livingston, St Mirren and Celtic all in Feb, these 3 in a week and the possibility of another cup tie.

Ramagio87 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Totally unrelated but don't want to start a new topic just for this!

Bob Loblaw Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I think we'll end up with 10-11k for this and that's not all that unusual for a Scottish Cup game. We got just over 12,000 for St Johnstone last year and just over 10,000 for Raith the year before, with this being on TV too it's about par for the course for an additional fixture at this time of year. I've got to pick up 4 tickets, but it's in no danger of selling out so there's no rush, I imagine there will be quite a few planning to go who haven't bought yet.

mainstandjambo Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Latest update on seats left Gorgie Z - 341 Y - 72 X - 72 W - 82 V - 336 Total - 903 Main T - 146 ( There were a further batch of seats released in this section this morning and they are included in this figure) S - 5 P - 2 N - 214 Total - 367 Overall total left - 1270 I make sales around 7350 (excluding hospitality.) If the 100 seats that were not made available for sale in S,R and Q were for Heritage and Executive suites we can add a further 300 to the total sales. Also to be factored in are the sales in the Gorgie Suite which are not known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasavallan Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Just a general question: I have difficulty in identifying colours/brightness on websites. A big difficulty is identifying what seats are sold and what are still vacant on the seat plan. The 2 dot colours used are too similar for me to make out the difference clearly. Do others have a similar problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
