That’s fine by me though. Even if we sell 25K tickets for the semi there will still be 20K empty seats so I’m just delighted to get the chance to see the boys in action again. Good stuff. Hopefully you both jave a great day, your lassie gets the bug and if we get there you both get tickets for the final. ?

I can see both sides of the argument AJ but as things stand the club rewards and prioritises ST holders and awards loyalty points to fans buying tickets for away and/or cup games through the club. I’m perfectly happy with that and have been aware for some time that that’s just how the club does things. It is disappointing though that cup crowds now are much lower than for league games. When I was up the road and going week in week out we might have got 13K for a league game against for example Motherwell but over 20K in the cup. Most folk were walk-ups in those days though. If we qualify for the final and if we get 25K tickets, hopefully there will be some left over and then, again hopefully, the fact that we did attend the semi will count but in all honesty I doubt final tickets will go to a public sale. In 2006 I managed to get a ticket for the semi but not the final even though we had a bigger allocation for the final. Will be happy if we get same outcome on the park as 2006 ?

That's bollocks! Not saying (well, maybe I was to an extent) that the system needs scrapped but they could at least nuance it towards current campaign attendees. Anyway, if we do get to the Final, then I would hope the club limit to one ticket per account. That should pretty much cover everybody, including p/t cup supporters.

Someone with 80 LPs should be behind someone with 12LPs from this season’s Scottish Cup campaign ? That’s the perfect definition of bollocks ! AJ’s idea is awful. He/she is basically asking Hearts to prioritise about 100 people, tops, all of which will almost certainly qualify anyway. In your example, 99% of people with all 12LPs from a cup run will have the 80pts from the league. You get LPs for cup games and that, in previous experience, will be enough for a final ticket. Hibs went down to 8 loyalty points, maybe less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticJambo Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 No. This season for example, 11K for Livi, same roughly for Talbot, 3k taken up for Partick away, 10K for Partick at home and say 9K (plus 4K chums) so far for ICT. How many STs do we have? ~13K iirc. You can bet your boots that 99% those ST folks will exercise their options on a Final ticket should we get there. That's not 100 people! I hazard a guess that there are also quite a few previous ST holders that have pied their renewals over the past two years but still hold high LPs (unless things have changed in the past few yrs on this retention front), and who haven't gone to the majority of SC games this year. All, I'm suggesting is that the club consider/show a bit of loyalty to those who have made an effort in the cup this year, and or last two years, whatever. ST holders have had first dibs on tickets for each game this year. That entitlement should stop there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydug Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 It's disappointing that a lot of ST holders refuse to attend cup ties. Perhaps it would be an idea to offer a LP bonus to everyone who attends cup ties. This would reward everyone by boosting their chances of cup final tickets at the same time as boosting cup crowds. The amount of LPs on offer could be something like 20 LPs per cup tie which would be enough to make it worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ST holders have had first dibs on tickets for each game this year. That entitlement should stop there. There’s clearly an element of misunderstanding on my part here. You’re saying that cup semi final and final tickets (more specifically the latter) should only be sold initially to fans who have attended previous rounds when demand wasn’t high? You can’t just **** ST holders over like that. What criteria do you use if we draw Hibs in the opening round? My point is that of the 11,000 at Livingston and Auchinleck games and 10,000 at Patrick game, at least 95% of Hearts fans will be season ticket holders. To use our bus as an example, roughly 40 went to each home game and 20 went to Firhill. Of those, only 2 in total were non-season ticket holders out of 140 tickets I ordered. Therefore my question is, what’s the point in creating far more work for the ticket office for less than 2% of fans who only go to cup games? You’re asking that Hearts build a database of 10,000+ when the current system will have 9,900 of those names already. If if I may use hypothetical allocation figures for a potential final. We’ll probably receive 22,500 tickets or thereabouts. We have 13,000 ST holders, immediately ruling out the option of more than one ticket per CRN. Lets say we have 1,000 (a very high estimate) non-ST holders who attended all four cup ties, therefore accumulating at least 8 loyalty points. Going by Hibs final when 8 was sufficient in the end, they’ll all qualify. If they all buy one, that leaves 8,500 for people who were ST holders last season, old shareholders (possible contentious issue) or have attended a sufficient number of home walk ups or away matches. That’s plenty for people who even semi regularly watch Hearts when you bear in mind our entire away support outwith the cat A games (which are almost exclusively ST holders) at ER and in the Weeg, probably amounts to 1,000 per game on average (13,000 in total) and again, I’m guessing only a small % of them aren’t already ST holders who qualify already.

I have no idea what you wrote. This is what I gave the thumbs up to: "...if the club announced that purchase of a semi final ticket put you straight to the front of the queue for a cup final ticket if we get there..." I have a semi-final ticket, but may not have the LPs needed for the final. I am truly, desperately sorry if I somehow offended you. As a penance, I will cut a hazel branch from next door's hedge and flail it down my back until it bleeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain America Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 My brother organised tickets for 14 of us for semi final, mixture of ST holders and non ST holders. He bought the tickets during phase where ST holders could buy 4 tickets. When he purchased tickets he couldn't allocate tickets to the non ST holders even though they were on his network. He has been in contact with TO today to get the tickets allocated to non ST holders and get loyalty points allocated but TO has refused so I miss out on the loyalty points for a game I am attending. To me this seems a flaw in the system, if it costs a possible final ticket would be gutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester copperpot Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 22 hours ago, been here before said: What about just giving Hearts a fiver if you're not going. Surely that would be the same as buying a 20 quid ticket and not using it. Infact thinking about it thats probably a better percentage than Hearts would get from a £20 ticket. I get what you are saying (I think it's a good idea) however I pay 15 quid a month into F.O.H so it may be a big ask (I will do it though as think that's an excellent idea). So, YES.

It DOES work and what it does is reward people who show loyalty by buying STs and building up LPs. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the club aren’t going to change a very good system at the whim of some fangled “ Cup system.” Sorry, guys. ? The bottom line is the sale of ST is absolutely critical to the Club - as such ST holders will rightly be favoured when it comes to tickets for finals.

I bought 3 tickets for myself and two family members. I am a season ticket but the other two are not so they will not be getting credited with going to the semi final and the 3 loyalty points. On this basis there is absolutely no way there can be a phase for buying final tickets for non ST holders that attended the semi. This is assuming we get to the final and there is a public sale.

brux Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I'm not going to the semi, I'll be in Edinburgh Airport waiting on my flight to the sun. Hopefully the game will be on somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not got a ST but I'll definitely get a ticket for the final, infact in 2012 I didn't even go to a single cup game bar the final and still hoovered up three tickets.

I include myself in this comment. Bullshit. Anyone with enough loyalty points deserves a ticket should we get there yourself included! Folk not being available for one game on a specific date isn't any reason to stop them getting to the final if they've made plenty others.
