Depends on where you sit in new stand and what you are comparing with. One of my ‘mates’ paid £315 for a seat in their main stand whereas I paid £500 for a seat in Wheatfield. Their kids seats are much cheaper than ours. You need to do apples to apples comparisons to get it accurate. Try comparing their east stand prices with Wheatfield prices. They are comparable ie stand opposite the main stands at both stadia. Think you will discover a significant difference in prices especially if you use earlybird prices for ER, it’s £385 v £500 for adult tickets? That’s about 30%. For u13’s it’s £85 v £110, again circa 30%. They actually sell kids tickets for parts of the stadium at £50. After VAT is deducted it’s £41.67 per seat, virtually a free seat.  How many of them do you think they have included in their 11k announced today?

IIRC, their £50 kids tickets are only in the lower tier of the famous 5-1 stand, which I think only holds about 1,600 folk. When you factor in that it's a 'family' section, and I'm sure that  £50 price is only for u12 or u13s, there's at most a few hundred kids getting that price, and precious little opportunity for anyone that's not a renewing ST holding family to take advantage of it. The reality is, it's a headline grabbing gimmick rather than a good value pricing strategy!

I recall that Dundee United had a counter on their website a few seasons ago, do you think that it would inspire a few to make that final descion if we followed suit? An instant recognition of each fans part in the ongoing Natural Order. 

I think a counter could only help sales if they were already going well, and good and growing figures were just building excitement. If sales were even remotely disappointing, or left scope for anyone to try to argue in such terms, I don't think it would help at all.

Fair point, that it might become a millstone if things were not going well. There must be some way to harness the current enthusiasm, I find it hard to believe that cup final attendees (or even TV viewers) would not want to attend on a regular basis, if time and finances permitted.

Yes.  Season ticket sales so far have been fantastic all things considered too. 

Yes your right there saying all things considered. Hearts fans are so loyal it's what our club is all about.

Thanks Cygnet let's hope we sell many more ST's by then.

Despite how shite we were last season we’re still selling more season tickets

 

Over 11,000 for them :rofl: 

 

Had a wee laugh at Hibs.net earlier.

 

“11k that’s brilliant. How many have the Yams sold?”

“10.5k”

“Really? Haha big team.”

“Hearts have sold 11.5k actually.”

“Aye so their dot counter says.”

“Brilliant that we are outselling them. What are their excuses?”

“Their official Twitter has announced 11.5k”

“Who cares what the Yams have sold?”

“Sick of reading about them on here.”

 

:rofl:

Just had a quick look at their prices and a couple of things to note... Firstly, youth and child prices in the lower bit of the FF stand are the only ones which are priced differently depending on location. All other ST categories pay the same price no matter where you sit in the ground, so an adult ST in the front row behind a goal costs the same as one in the upper tier of their main stand.  Secondly, the fact that they have an early bird pricing window suggests to me that their sales will be more weighted towards that early period than ours are, as unless you want a specific seat, the only incentive to buy early for us is helping the club, whereas for them, they save money buying earlier.

What have Hibs season ticket sales got to do with Hearts ?

 

Our season ticket sales are not good enough. 

 

In a City the size of Edinburgh we should have a waiting list.

Not even got mine yet, know a couple of other people who haven’t done it yet, but will too. Just halfers again for me again, with the new baby, but hopefully get to a few on top of that again as well.

There's no such thing as good enough or not. The fans that want to buy will buy, and those that don't, won't.

 

The size of Edinburgh has nothing to do with it. It's success on the park.

Finance all sorted. Will be in me usual seat next season hoping for better football and that the two rockets who sit behind me are part of the “Not renewing because we hate Levein/Budge/Library/No flags or fireworks “ brigade.

Id kinda miss this

”FFS get it forward

Big hoof

”FFS who was that to”?

”FFS Levein change it”

Hearts make substitution

”FFS Levein”

”Well done Hearts. We’re all over them”

Hearts concede

”Been coming all game. FFS Levein”

So do I, but the only way that'll happen is if the team is successful. 

 

12k is probably our hardcore these days, the folk that will renew no matter what. The rest are fair weather. The sorta people who'll turn up every week if we are winning then disappear just as quickly when we start losing.

Congratulations on the birth of your new baby. 

 

In a few years you can take him/her to Tynecastle like I did with ours many years ago. 

 

Cheers Jonno. His big sister is four but has the attention span of a fly. I’ll try and take her in a few seasons time, but she is more in to drama and dancing and things. Be nice to take them both in a few years. ?

Brilliant example of their desperation to be able to think that they’re somehow better than us at absolutely anything.  ?

Incredible gesture.

 

Edit. Is it wise subjecting children of such an age to that torment?

It is an incredible gesture you're right. Character building matey. Gets them ready to face all the challenges that life will throw them. ST holders and FOH subscribers of the future

Looking at the amount of blue seats that are lying empty is worrying i’d of hoped

we’d of sold more by now. The club needs to give the fans a lift and hope that 

this coming season is going to be much better than the last. What will that take 

I think many JKBers will know what is needed.

10/10 for sticking with your depressing chat. JKBers may, Hearts fans know different. Loyalty knows no bounds and no prejudice and resolution beyond most inferior fans

Everyone I've spoken to has been pleasantly surprised by the number of people who have renewed already. You're the first person I've heard say they were worried about it.

Brilliant numbers reported. Hopefully break the 13,000 barrier soon. Hating the close season already.

3 years you have been trying to get rid of Levein and have failed miserably.  How utterly desperate you sound. :rofl:
