I was at the Hibs v Rangers final in hospitality as an acquaintance has a box at Ibrox and bought one for the final. I’m tee total so didn’t reap the benefits but prematch and during it there was no cause for complaint as you’re waited on constantly and fed very well. No problems with anyone from either support while I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky jamboa Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I would imagine anyone who wants a ticket for this one will get one. We will get circa 23,000 tickets. Some people will be put off going through to Glasgow and some folk won't take kids with it being Celtic. Start off with 50 loyalty points to stagger ticket sales, gradually dropping down.

I'd really like to know how many FOH subscribers don't have a season ticket or high loyalty points. A fair few. It's one way that a Hearts fan who no longer lives locally can support the club.

Silvery_Moon Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 As per the 2012 thread loyalty points started at 40 points in 2012.

luckydug Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 7 hours ago, Boab said: I was amazed that the 2012 Final went to general sale. Wasn’t aware of that. Hope indeed for the low LP guys. I suppose if they are strict about one ticket per account there is a chance. 13500 ST plus high LPs and most of the high LPs are already ST holders. It is not an indication of slow sales as people are restricted to one ticket. Good opportunity to tempt people into ST for next season after all other categories have been satisfied.

Not sure if the 2012 semi is a fair game to gauge sales but we only took 12,000. This being a final will of course be a different situation(as we’ll sell out) but as you say, there will be people put off going for their own reasons. This will lead to STs being given to others to get tickets. It may in turn not produce the mass scramble for tickets if there’s a gen sale. Could open an opportunity to more non-ST holders to acquire tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win, and we are there for another 45 minutes. If we lose it makes the next win that much sweeter. Sometimes you need to lose to appreciate the wins. I'd urge parents with ST kid to take them.

Kiwidoug Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I went with my son for the 4-0. Thing that amazed me was the number of people. I thought it would be the wealthy elite (£100) with the odd scruff like me thrown. Instead there was a never ending line up of buses at Tynecasle. Must have been easily 600 of us. Gary Mackay asked me to lead off the Hearts song at the Thistle hotel which I did with great pride and aplomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of any other institution that would seriously think it was OK to look after loyal customers before patrons. Exactly. Most FoH subscribers are season ticket holders anyway. But for those who aren't - and I imagine we're mainly exiled Jambos - it's a bit of a boot in the balls if after years of charitable donations we don't get any consideration when it comes to ticketing. I will probably be OK as I have a mate who is usually able to get multiple tickets, but I can imagine some FoH subscribers might feel a bit under-appreciated. I don’t have a st or attend regularly for a few reasons but I’ve been a FOH contributor from its inception. If that didn’t count for something I’d certainly feel a little miffed.

Doc Rob Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 11 hours ago, Ribble said: The only reward I want from my FOH subscription is to still have a club to be able to buy tickets from. The more tickets I buy the more accessible tickets become, it’s all rather simple really. The loyalty point/season ticket/FOH discussion only happens for Hibs away and Cup Finals where people that used to go to games decide they fancy a day out so concoct random reward scenarios to somehow validate why they should be able to buy a ticket at the same time as the guys that attend way more often. That’s unreasonably harsh. Firstly, I didn’t suggest FOH subscribers should be able to buy a ticket at the same time as ST holders, only that perhaps they should get the opportunity before a general sale. (I’m aware that someone else did). Secondly, some of us live too far away to attend games regularly, but we still commit money to the club every month because we still want to do our bit. I’m in no way claiming this places us on an equal footing with those who attend every week, but I really don’t see what we have done to deserve your contempt either.
