luckydug Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 18 hours ago, Paulp74 said: Giving MY OPINION that it is unlikely we'll sell 17k tickets, when we've only sold 10k so far, is me being "desperate" for us to send tickets back?! Hardly! The "we'll find out soon enough" response is because there's no point arguing over will we/won't we sell our ticket allocation. Only time will tell what actually happens. You're confusing me with one of these hobo in disguise posters who wants nothing more than having a dig at the club. I'm being realistic that we will unlikely sell out our allocation. If you don't deal well with people having different opinions to yours, maybe a fan forum isnt for you. You're probably right we will send some back but not as early as this week. You got my back up with your concern over The Rangers having enough time to sell any returns. Surely as a Hearts fan you want as few huns there as possible. Let's not make it easy for them. Once we start selling tickets for F sections then segregation will eat into the tickets Sevco receive. So whatever happens they will not be getting 7k tickets.

I'd prefer there to be 7k empty seats than 7k more huns there! I presume the gate receipts are split 4 ways from the 2 ties so 7k less of their fans would mean more than the small amount of cash we'd lose out on. I'm referring more from an sfa/spfl point of view (whoever deals with the ticketing arrangements) of them requesting tickets back from us sooner rather later, if they think it looks like we wont sell out.

Don’t think it works like that does it ? They will already have a proposed segregation line set out and won’t sell tickets in those sections unless it looks like they will sell.

Remember when everyone was complaining about us never getting to the later stages of cup competitions. Well this is now our third semi final in a row and some people want to boycott it. What's more Sunday showed that even with most of our best players not available we can still compete in big matches. We ran Celtic close in the cup final as well . There is every chance we could pull off a shock in this semi final and we may have players back from injury as well. We should put this dispute with manager to one side and turn up at Hampden in numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These games dont come round all that often so we need as many fans as possible to attend and support the players for the 90 mins. Anyone who doesnt understand that and instead takes a petty stance of protest is a clown in my opinion. Would you protest and not go to a final too? Or a semi against Hibs?

luckydug Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 If they are giving Rangers the entire section F they are not keeping many tickets back for Hearts fans. As long as Rangers get their tickets that's the main thing though.😕 There's eleven days to go before the game far too early to be giving back tickets imo.

Stanley_ Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Bought two tickets last night. Haven't missed a semi since 2003 so was keen to go. Train up from London on the Saturday afternoon with a change at Carlisle and getting into Edinburgh Saturday night. Then I'll be flying back from Glasgow Sunday at 9pm and will get back to my flat in London after midnight and up at 7am on Monday for work. I hope we at least put up a good fight to make the time and money I've spent worth it. It's always disappointing to see the level of support for semi finals. I can't really understand why more people don't go but there's nothing surprising in the sales so far. With or without Levein, we never get a great support for semis v the Old Firm (Murrayfield v Celtic being an exception for obvious reasons). We also have an awful record in semis/finals against the Old Firm (I think it's only 2 wins in my lifetime and I'm 32) so I guess I've answered my own question about why people don't go...

When we beat Gretna on penalties, we filled the vast majority of the east stand as well as the east end of the South Stand, although our main allocation was for the west stand.
