Bob Loblaw Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I'll be going but I understand why it's a game too far for some. In the last week I've bought St Mirren, Rangers and Hibs tickets, it's a lot of money in a short period and the product isn't often enjoyable. People who say they are going like it makes them better than others come across poorly. If you're going, good on you, it doesn't necessarily make people who aren't poor fans.

karipidis Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I think it’s another issue with the winter break with the fixture congestion as it is a lot of money to pay considering the amount of games that have been on recently.

soonbe110 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 If Saturday is a draw, and Rangers get through against Braga, and we win replay it’s looking like chaos for semi-final tickets as the first free date for a replay is 3/4 days before semi. Lots of maybe’s there but a possible fixture/ticketing headache for sure. If Rangers out of Europe then any replay likely to be Wed 18/3.

Like you say it could be a while before we play them again I think the problem would be crowd separation on the concourse. Feasible in the medium term if we installed one of the full monty gate/walls we have in the Roseburn. But presumably expensive and most would prefer the money to be spent on improving the squad in the hope that we fill 3 sides in the future.

The cup is a nice diversion from a mundane league campaign, which this hasn't been, more's the pity. While other factors are relevant the biggest factor for me, and I suspect a lot of others, is having forgotten what it is like to win and even the element of depriving the club of money has been belittled by the dire management of relative financial wellbeing. Preserving league status is all that matters now this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My half sister Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I know we may be blinkered by our own results which have been poor but so have theirs, throwing away leads against Killie, St Johnstone and us, drawing at home to Aberdeen. We will not get a better chance to beat them. What if St Johnstone then beat Celtic on Sunday and suddenly everyone will be demanding tickets for the semi. If you can get along, please do, we need you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no doubt that many, me included, are in the same boat and I’m sure that’s the main reason for the poor ticket uptake. I also expect many to cave in over the next few days and buy tickets. Another factor is that many will realise that it’s not Sky/BT that’s showing the game so it won’t be as easily available as many seem to think.

SectionDJambo Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hearts should have awarded 15 to 20 loyalty points for this. If they were tied up as far as prices are concerned, it would have been a reward for fans buying and encouraged more sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 It is only recently that there have been discussions on here about the club reducing the number of OF fans allowed into Tynecastle Park for games against them. Even more recently some were ripping into St Johnstone for giving Rangers more seats for last weekend's league fixture. Now, I'm reading on here people saying we should be looking to give Rangers additional parts of the stadium because home fans aren't taking up their allocation. If people don't want to go, for whatever reason my suggestion is we leave the seats empty, the money will already be getting made through whatever Premier Sports will be stumping up for this game.

DETTY29 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) 'Hey Rangers, you will have noticed we are utter pony just now and we are expecting a very low Hearts crowd. Can we come to an agreement to reduce prices to an extent that will get at least a decent number of our fans in, £20?' 'Come back with another proposal, we will sell out the Roseburn end irrespective of prices and under SFA rules we can go to £34' '£25' 'Try again' ....... (Not saying this is how negotiations really went) EDIT - IMO £30 is too much but having looked at what is charged in other qf ties (compared to league equivalent pricing) and last season the absolute minimum this game would be in region of £27. What Rangers charged their fans last year for Aberdeen and Kilmarnock games. Edited February 25, 2020 by DETTY29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
