Heartsofgold Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 33 minutes ago, HMFC86 said: Would hope that anyone caught with their reference being used to get away fans tickets would have repercussions. Folk I know are usually trying to help fellow Hearts fans out when they offer their references out for big games they can’t make but need to be careful. And specifically on this game when there’s thousands of tickets available, I find it hard to believe many folk that are Hearts fans don’t have a buying history. This is where I am as well. Any Hearts mates will have been to at least 1 game in the past and have their own history and therefore account. When I saw this I thought it stank.

Sunday lunchtimes you can understand but 5.30pm on a Sat isn't the worst KO time. Back in 1985 we had, iirc more than 20k for a QF against Aberdeen at Tynie then followed it up by taking 5k to the replay midweek in Aberdeen, with several hundred locked out, again iirc. Probably a combination of factors nowadays including the quality and attitude of pampered players and the atmosphere which has been sanitised beyond. Sad though. That replay was the closest I felt to getting seriously injured, if not worse! The crush getting in was horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie might have got 2,000 allocated but how many did they sell. Given that Hearts and Aberdeen both take 800/900 on a regular basis you have to assume that’s roughly how many actually wang to go to these places. I go everywhere except Ibrox and Parkhead, horrible areas, stadia, atmosphere and fans. I did a check, Aberdeen did in fact only ask for their standard 850ish after discussions with Police Scotland.

I'm led to believe it was HMFC who managed to get Rangers to agree to a ticket price of £30. Hearts had entered into discussions looking for ticket prices of £20, £25 if pushed, but Rangers wanted the ticket price set at £35 minimum. Rangers knew they would sell their full allocation and were hoping the higher end prices might reduce the number of HMFC fans in attendance, and it appears to have worked although might have been even more effective for them if they had stuck to £35.

Same thing happened a few years ago when St J insisted on full prices, knowing that our "loyal" fans would shy away from paying a few pounds extra for a ticket. It worked for them as we only opened the Gorgie Road end and the pish poor atmosphere contributed to a pish poor performance and a defeat.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 It’s problematic trying to debate with people who don’t understand that this was not a unilateral decision by Hearts to price the game as is and in fact we wanted the prices lower. People should be attacking Rangers not our own bloody club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
