I wouldn’t be too surprised if it didn’t make a comeback til next year, but ever? Well at the moment we dont know how this virus will react. If it continually mutates we may constantly be chasing it and having to lockdown and create vaccines. By the time we have a vaccine it could be useless.

jr ewing Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 I wonder if today's announcement by FOH will increase season ticket sales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Weathers Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 8 hours ago, upgotheheads said: I renewed this morning and had intended to use that plan. I phoned the club but the offices are closed tfn, so I went to the on-line renewal option where there was no mention of this scheme. I just paid the full whack. Has anyone else had the same experience? I'm aware that this is an act of faith as there's no way of knowing when (or maybe if) football will return. I remember doing much the same thing during the share sale at the end of the Romanov era, I knew then that it was nothing more than a donation to keep the club alive in the short term, but at least that actually worked, and I do have a nice share certificate to show for it. My purchase today is made in the same spirit, I just hope we can keep the club alive in the medium term until the aerosols in the SPFL/SFA get their act together. I don't seriously believe that Hearts will go under. I emailed today on behalf of my dad and received a response in about 10mins. I then logged onto his eticket account and paid half now.

There is also a chance that, depending on how this virus develops, that we may never see football played in front of fans again.

I've no objection to people not agreeing with me as long as they do it constructively, and some do. As I've said on here before, I have been a season ticket for 50 years and yes, I was young being at prImary school when I got my first (juvenile season ticket no.23 by the way - they didn't sell many in those days). I've been to approaching 2,000 games but it doesn't mean that I view the world only in maroon and white. What I'm trying to highlight is that I don't see the club going about maximising ticket sales very well - we all want a full Tynecastle after all and we all want a successful season ticket campaign. None of what I have said on here is intended as a criticism of those who have already bought their tickets - I'm simply questioning if the current sales strategy is going to hook the undecided. If some people cannot see that, then it's unfortunate. The club has to maximise income and if we end up in the 2nd tier with 12k+ STs the pricing will be proven to be about right IMO. It's a business, its about getting the balance right between maximised pricing without turning off too many. Early signs suggest to me that with a growing siege mentality it'll end up about right. Clubs have experimented with decent price drops, it's never worked financially, it doesn't attract enough people to make it worthwhile - Motherwell spring to mind.

Contraversial maybe, but if Tynecastle is reduced to a third or a quarter capacity and measures are tough- could we use Murrayfield. For a season ? 16k spread over Murrayfield or 6k spread over Tynecastle? As a side note, rangers would be donald ducked first.

You're kind of missing the point about the price of the tickets. Obviously we won't be able to get 12k in a 20k stadium if rules like that are in place, but we're talking about whether the pricing structure's appropriate.

Hungry hippo Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I'd expect quite a few sales towards the end of this month as plenty people will renew after pay day for many. I had planned on renewing earlier but decided to hold on a bit due to uncertainty over any games actually being played. Now that the 18 game guarantee is now in place will definitely renew before the early June cut-off. Suspect a lot will be thinking similarly.

The club have already said if there behind closed doors or the point you make in not being any for a year which is highly unlikely you’ll still get your money’s worth.
