ronnie_fife Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Now that it’s confirmed that Celtic will be in the final the likelihood is we’ll get between 18-22.5k tickets. How will Hearts allocated these to supporters? 1 per season ticket holder then set a loyalty points threshold? Also, if I was to purchase a season ticket on 1st May would this include me in the initial sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloustonHMFC Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I would be very surprised if we don’t push for 50/50 meaning around 22-23k. How the arrangements would be is anyone’s guess but I’d say everyone who wants one, will get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thommo414 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Would imagine Celtic doing everything they can to shaft us out of a fair split but you know Levein and Budge will contest it. Likely season tickets, one per account then a booking history as one would assume someone who has racked up a lot of loyalty points probably has a season ticket already. All imo of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboGraham Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 It was points only in 2012...details below... “Supporters of the Tynecastle club will occupy the South, West and North stands of Hampden with fans holding a minimum of 40 loyalty points at the head of the Tynecastle side’s queue. Fans with 8-39 loyalty points can purchase their tickets from 9am on Thursday, May 3, with sales being restricted to one ticket per customer.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Weathers Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I think if you buy a ST before the final the 20lps should count towards the total required for the final. Nice wee incentive for anyone on the fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct but it will not stop some drama queens (or kings to be politically correct) coming on this board to plead their own case if they are not guaranteed a ticket. Every season ticket holder this season will get a ticket Every new season ticket holder for next season should get a ticket and before anyone comments that does not mean existing season ticket holders who have or will renew Those with a loyalty point threshold and again this does not mean season ticket holders who are also high loyalty point holders get 2 There will be tickets for those willing to pay corporate prices Then there will be all the sponsors tickets And finally there will be tickets for points holders at the lower end of the scale and if any left a public sale of tickets.....personally at this level I'd like to see those who went to the semi final and who are not in any of the above catagories get a chance in a ballot at least but that's a personal view and if the club simply do it on a loyalty points basis only then there will be no real issue for me Edited April 14, 2019 by CJGJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone going to every away game and racking up loads of loyalty points provides no financial benefit to Hearts. Someone buying a season ticket for 2019/20 season provides hundreds of pounds in revenue. Those putting money into the club should get a final ticket. The differential between 2018/19 season ticket holders and 2019/20 season ticket holders will be less than a couple of thousand I would imagine so we will be able to cater to all three categories of supporter.

AlphonseCapone Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 There won't be any issues for folk that generally have went to watch Hearts at least a few times over the last two years I don't think. We've what 13k season ticket holders this year? The majority of them will probably renew with those that don't likely being replaced with new folk I'd say we'll be close to 13k again, giving a total of maybe 15-16k distinct people with season tickets this year and next? Still leaves around 5k for those without a season ticket. I think it'll get down to those with a purchase history tbh. Though the club might want to consider limiting it to those with a purchase history prior to the semi as there might be some Celtic fans purchasing a ticket for one of the next two home games to get on the database.

frankblack Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 It will be STs first, then loyalty point threshold releases up to a general sale.

Don’t think it matters, they are big fans. There won’t be many that have high lp’s that don’t have a season ticket but those that do probably also give to FoH. If it’s money that counts, as you seem to think, then those donating most to FoH should have priority, those buying platinum season tickets should have priority over gold, silver and bronze according to your proposal ie Money counts. I think it’s much more about who supports the club the most by attending matches hence current season tickets then loyalty points for me.

The debate about Murrayfield being superior to Hampden is irrelevant here since its not the national stadium and there isn't a scheduling conflict in Glasgow with other football.

upgotheheads Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Always somebody going to lose out. I will get one as a season ticket holder but my son, a season ticket for about 20 years but now having a family and only a few loyalty points, probably wont. Ironically If Aberdeen had won today then I would have had access to a friends Debenture tickets for my son and myself, which would have had the knock-on effect of releasing a ticket for another Jambo. Unfortunately, my Pal had been approached earlier by another Celtic supporting mate. This is somebody who never goes to games but isn't slow to tell you how great Celtic are. At the same time though there will be 30K Celtic season ticket holders who won't get a ticket either, I actually feel more sorry for them than I do for myself.

There is with a pro 14 final at Celtic Park on the same day which may attract a larger crowd than the cup final. With the chance of two Irish teams in said final or Glasgow against one of the Irish teams. I believe at present cup final 3pm KO. Rugby 6.30pm KO. Glasgow is going to be one busy city that weekend.
