GavK1012 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 4 hours ago, Sir Gio said: Difficult to suggest otherwise that these last 300 tickets are heading anywhere else other than non Hearts fans. Even someone with 20 LP is surely only handing on to a non Hearts pal. 1 LP. Perhaps tomorrow they should close this and distribute via Big Hearts. Painful conclusion to the sales. Not quite....I know of Jambos who whilst they dont go to many games, are still Jambos and want to go to the final, but still dont have a ticket....it should open up to folk with 20 plus points to fill their boots and tickets will find their way to the correct folk....bizarre situation we find ourself in and the clubs very own making re tickets....

scott herbertson Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 If someone else has been buying their tickets without them having an account for those occasional games then there won't be a ticket available for either of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydug Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 1 hour ago, Sir Gio said: Not what I was saying. N Lincs had a good example of how a real new Hearts fan may not have got one. It just appeared to me that it would now be difficult to shift them without changing the criteria, meaning there was as much chance as anyone getting one of the final 300 than a proper fan. Hard to explain admittedly for me I'm sure they would have been sold well over a week past, but for the strict criteria, the extremely low amount left then become difficult to distribute. I'm finding it hard to believe there are still people buying them who have waited so long. Love to hear a story or 2. Cos I'm nosey! I suppose there has to come a time when we run out of people with purchase history. So while people myself included were complaining about semi final getting priority over -20 LP The club knew fairly accurately how many people qualified. If we had wanted to look good and had tickets flying of the shelves we could just have had an open sale to anyone first come first served. That wouldn't have been fair though. Still think there might be more tickets to come though. It doesn't feel like a cup final because of who we are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people might have learned their lesson this time about making sure they have an account. One of my uncles goes to games occasionally (even went to the semi) but had no account because other people would get him the tickets. There are probably a few in the same boat although I doubt they go to many games in general. I managed to get him a ticket but some probably haven't been so lucky although I don't think the numbers in that situation will be huge.

Kiwidoug Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 On a slightly related topic I've just read that the SFA don't release details of SC prize money. Why? Well the answer is probably revealed in the same article. It stays that the 2017 winners received £60,000 and £114,000 overall. That would suggest to me that they are too embarrased to publicise the prize money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Pretty clear that we will sell out but the fact that it's Celtic and that they are overwhelming favourites will have put many off. Even with our poor form if it was a club like Motherwell we would have sold out and be clamoring for more tickets imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is later deified by the Senate. His sons Caracalla and Getasucceed him as joint Roman Emperors. and then Geta is lured to come without his bodyguards to meet Caracalla, to discuss a possible reconciliation. When he arrives the Praetorian Guard murders him and he dies in the arms of his mother Julia Domna. Eboracum (York) becomes the capital of Britannia Inferior, a northern province of the Roman Empire.
