You would think so but believe there were folk in asking to buy cup final tickets and it took a bit of explaining that it’s 20 lp’s plus on Friday then cup semi attendees at later date. Interesting that TO staff don’t expect many to be available for semi attendees and they are pretty certain their will be no category after semi attendees.

Because I have been to umpteen away games this season and watched the same turgid football and performances every time. Going to Ibrox the other Wednesday night was my last league away game of the season as I've had enough of putting in time, effort and money watching it (until next season). Why should my loyalty be questioned? You have stated if we were pushing for Europe, the numbers would come - of course they would! We have nothing to play for (again!) at this stage of the season in the league so where is the incentive to go? The fact that the numbers aren't there can be put at the managers doorstep 100%, we have proved time and time again how many fans we can take to games and I blame absolutely no-one for not going to watch that current set up every week.

No one wants Levein out of our club more than me but this is a derby and I dont miss derby matches regardless of what is happening at the club. Not being able to sell our allocation at Easter Road is shocking regardless of how poor we have been this season.

mitch41 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 This season pre Xmas I stopped going to away games as Levein and his Bootroom failed to pick and coach a Hearts team that tried to win games. Dire to watch and even embarrassing at times. I used to follow Hearts home and away but under Cathro & Levein it just isn’t the same.

I don't need 10 account numbers, as I had no intention of buying them, but it did show me that 10 in one row were available to buy, granted I would have to assign them to account holders, but you can see it gives an idea of multiple availability.

JH-HMFC Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Just don't understand that despite warning signs from day 1 that it might struggle to sell out, they're still after 40 points with barely 4 days to go. What a nonsense. You wonder how long they'll leave it before reacting again - at which point it'll probably be too late to make a difference to sales. Very disappointing. But you never know. Hopefully I will be made to eat my words and we'll announce a sell out on Saturday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillyboy Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Many of us with 40+ points have seen enough ..our away support has been declining.

innerjambo Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 This is an indication of things to come under the present regime. A very worrying sign, and surely one that won't go unnoticed by AB.

Austin MacGlee Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Still undecided about this game. The last derby took a lot out of me, mentally, with our Club/manager. The semi was a welcome relief from our tepid and insipid league form but then it was back with a bump on Saturday at Tynie. Have the chance to work overtime on Sunday and right now the extra cash is far more appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I wasn't looking forward to the game but the goal and the victory were tremendous. Not going to games because we might lose - FFS get a grip of yourselves. Remember how much we took the piss out of Hibs fans when their numbers were tragic at derby games? The best victories are the unexpected ones and the ones against the odds.

The 80 pts threshold allows season ticket holders who regularly attend away games to get first bite. The 40 pts threshold makes tickets available multi-season season ticket holders, which will easily sell in a day or 2. Hearts have plenty of time to sell tickets, so are just taking the time to ensure that the right people get them, after all, the away end of Easter road is hardly Murrayfield (or Hampden for that matter) Hibs fans won't understand this as they don't really have that sort of system in their ticketing.
