waynefozzie Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 14 minutes ago, frankblack said: No, I don't have an FOH subscription but don't have a problem with those that do have. However, you are trying to invent some preference over season ticket holders that has never existed, and does not exist now. The purchase of season tickets and subscribing to FOH are for different purposes, whereas STs are for committing to watch football over the course of a season, guaranteeing the club up front cash. To answer your question, no I think it would be fine with me if FOH subscribers, along with other categories had a shot at buying remaining tickets before a general sale. I would rather tickets went to Hearts fans than interloper Celtic and Rangers fans. Fair enough mate - sounds reasonable to me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often wondered if I was in your position what I'd do? You could put the same amount into the club but take family and friends to a day in hospitality, or buy a season ticket and bank the LPs, or sponsor a player etc etc. Yes, I could. But I committed to a certain level of pledge, and I stand behind that as the best way of securing the future of the club. And no, I never expected anything tangible in return - but members of the old 500 clubs used to be given priority for finals, so I supposed I thought the same might be considered now. I did also have two STs until a couple of years ago, but work and family commitments made it harder and harder for me to make it back regularly, and in the end I gave them up. Yes, I know I could have told the club to resell my seat, but I never got organised enough to do that, and the sad truth was that it just wasn’t working any more. TBH it probably doesn’t matter much for me anyway. I am on call for work until 8am on the Saturday, and back on duty at 8am on the Sunday - so the chances of my making the game look pretty slim even if I did have a ticket.

This what I thought, so unless they start with a LP threshold and then change the system to a non LP threshold eg new ST's get a chance, then its not applicable if you buy a ST for 19/20 Would also mean you had 3 rather than 2 seasons of buying history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Elwood P Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 2 minutes ago, Pistol1874 said: So to be clear, your order of priority is current season ticket holders, then new season ticket holders and only then high loyalty point holders? In reality, high LP holders will in most cases be in the first category as well, but in case they are not, they should certainly be ahead of new season ticket holders. Why? You could exclusively go to away games and have 100 loyalty points and have put £0.00 into the club. The new season ticket holder has put in £250-500. Reward those who are paying to put the team on the park, build the new stand and pay for the £1m hybrid pitch. Like you say most high loyalty points holders will be season ticket holders as well. Potentially we could have season ticket holders for this and next season and over 40 loyalty points all in the first phases of sales. That probably amounts to about 18k.

It's a pointless argument as anyone with a season ticket and / or a decent loyalty points wedge will definitely get a ticket.

There is always an opportunity to "buy" priority, hospitality at Hampden for 1. This was also the case when we were away to Liverpool and Spurs.

Jambo-Fox Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) FOH subscription vs Season Ticket debate. Interesting, I do both but rarely use the season ticket. It all goes to club regardless. However the season ticket does come with more benefits (than FOH), into any game I want to watch and cup final tickets!! If I had to choose one (FOH or ST) it would be the ST because of the benefits it brings. Edited April 14, 2019 by Jambo-Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not perfect but the current system, in general, will place those that attend the most matches supporting the players in person; be it home or away at the top of the list.

hearts151 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 My memory of the final against HIBS was that I had 70+ points for getting a ticket no problem. But still queue after a heavy night at the ballroom on Monday morning with an out of date carryout for a friend to get her a ticket when they lowered it to 10points or whatever. There was a few hundred there and some even took my beer at 7am. However it actually still took a few days to finally sellout... And that was the final against hibs!! I do not doubt that anyone who wants a ticket will get one. No doubt whatsoever. I'm keen on getting 30-40 group together for this from various groups I'm mates with over the years and I'm not concerned about the LPs at all for some of the group that have near nothing these days.

AlphonseCapone Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Some inventitive suggestions for priority on here. Contributing to FOH under no circumstances should come before season ticket holders, that's absurd. Contribute a tenner a month, £120 a year, attend 0 games, and get priority over a season ticket holder? Mental suggestion. Whether the club do season ticket holders or loyalty points, those that deserve a ticket most will quite rightly be priority. Most, if not everyone, will get a ticket in the end.

A bit Hibs, so let’s not do it? That’s what I call mental! If we can get another 3,000 STs away at £400 a pop and that gets the club £1.2m, takes us up to 16,000+ and gives us the chance to half the Glasgow clubs’ allocations. Something we all want, no?

Ive had a few enquiries for the use of my season tickets(sons also) and trying to work out what best way to do it? 2 of my best mates haven’t attended much due to playing football etc so loyalty points are so low if any at all but know they really want to go to this game!!!
