braveheart Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Now I wouldn't say I was a fair weather supporter.the last 30 years I,ve travelled a round trip of 200 miles and missed around 20 home games in that time.used to goto every away game as well then when it got to £20 to get in I said fcuk it.now I content myself with getting to all the home games and cup matches.as a season ticket holder in all that time,a shareholder,a 500 club member,a player sponsor and foh contributer I would like to think I,ve paid my dues.but the time has come to say enough is enough.i know many fans pay far more than me for stkts and foh contributions but to put a blanket £30 on every seat is wrong.if this was forced upon us by sevco then come out with one of your famous statements and tell us.by staying silent Mrs b you either have no objection to these prices or you were maybe the main reason for these prices.imo a giant kick in the teeth to every fan who has had to watch that garbage week in week out all season and more.of the 4 of us who regularly travel none are going.no doubt I,ll get told to "not come back" or "spitting the dummy" or whatever if there's only 12-13k at the game I won,t have been the only one to say "Mrs budge you can ram yer £30 tickets" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokyowalnut Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Cup prices are decided by both clubs. I'll probably pay the £30, but there has to be consistency across the board. It should be agreed at the start of the season that all cups games, regardless of opposition are £20 and £10, or thereabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB52 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 As everyon e knows ticket prices have to be agreed between the clubs and, has been proven in the past, it has been the other team who have forced the prices higher.

You do realise £30 is cheaper than any tickets for our games against Rangers. It's a quarter final and it's still cheaper than a run of the mill league game against the same opposition. There has been lots to complain about at Hearts this season. I don't think our pricing policy for cup games is on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts_fan Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 £30 a head on top of season tickets, time, fuel and other expenses is too much. I have sympathy with the OP. Others arguing that £30 is reasonable because it's cheaper than a league ticket completely dismisses the fact that the league ticket is a TOTAL rip-off itself. We are charged stupid money for ball-breakingly bad football in Scotland. Folks doing 200 mile round trips should be rewarded with cheaper cup tickets. Just a thought!

goldie83 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Just move closer to Tynecastle mate and that solves a few problems. £30 is extremely fair. Some of my mates paid £29 for today. There is 6 of us that go weekly and are all season ticket holders and we’ll all be there supporting no worried about the prices. If it was £26 would that make you go? If you are going to go you are going to go. Not worry about 4 quid! You enjoy it on the tele and and I’ll enjoy it at Tynecastle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJGJ Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Sorry but £30 is too high...there should be a max price of £25 and £19 for adult tickets for other parts of the stadium The cup prices are determined between the two clubs and Hearts should be standing up for the fans...the fans remember all but own our club Season ticket holders at least should get a £10 discount if a £30 price is to be applied but even that is not enough in my opinion If Rangers are forcing a higher price then tell us all..if not then we have to assume we have colluded in these prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Roller Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 £30 for any game in Scotland is ridiculous.

1971fozzy Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 £30 is probably a bit too high. I’d of said £25. the derby tickets no doubt on sale soon as well means an expensive double whammy. I’ll be going and paying the £30 but I know a couple of mates that have said they’re not.

Given the tv deal and sponsorship is virtually worthless If you reduce ticket prices then you also need to reduce wages, it’s a vicious cycle.

Howdy Doody Jambo Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Cup game rounds should be price graded with all clubs charging the same across the board for the same round of the competition Maybe a maximum of £20 up to the semis with kids going free £30 for final Every club just seems to be able to charge whatever they want Club's get TV money which should subsidise the price at the turnstiles, this money is never passed on to the punters Edited February 16, 2020 by Still Tynie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that we are a bottom 6 team this year, then we will miss out on 3 home games to Hibs, Celtic and Aberdeen. This will cause us two guaranteed full houses in the Roseburn at £90k each and about 1500 Aberdeen fans at approx £35-40k. Painfully this will cost us £220k. I’d happily pay £35 each for me and the bairn to go. We need as much revenue as possible to rebuild for next year.

SMJ_1874 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Last time I checked then chocolate buttons wasn’t a currency. Nor is Monopoly money. If we want to be 3rd team in Scotland every year then we need quality players in and they don’t come cheaply. We now have a manager with an ethos and a style that he wants to play. Imo the players aren’t good enough to play yet he is stuck with them and is trying to make the best of a bad bunch. At least he is at training every day ‘coaching’ these players. A total rebuild is required. Jurgen Klopp was given time and resources to transform Liverpool from the Brenda Rogers, to world champions. Now we have idiots calling for the managers head already. Does anyone realise what this would cost to get rid of him and his team after 4 months? Are people really so stupid? The same people calling for his head are the same ones who refuse to pay a small hike in ticket revenue. Probably take sandwiches to Tynecastle to save paying into the kiosk revenue. Budge has done amazing to bring everything back under one house and to maximise catering and hospitality. She is not a stupid woman. If I were her I’d be selling tickets in block release to all parts of the ground. Like a cup final scenario. Any unsold tickets would be given to the opposition like the league cup semi final, and a line of stewards and police could form a segregated area. Why should the club miss out on much needed revenue to cater for the minority of pant wetters? If you don’t like it then don’t go. Watch it on tv and sell the unsold tickets to the Hun.
