Well, it definitely would need tweaked then. Maybe something more in line with PfK’s suggestion. I don’t know as I’m not paid by the club to come up with ideas, and I don’t have data on attendances and income from matches at my fingertips. If I was and I did, I’m pretty sure I could come up with some kind of idea that would alleviate the ire from some quarters, though probably not all. Personally, I’d be giving my hypothetical tickets to lapsed Jambos and armchair supporters. If that failed I’d be giving them to the ‘Donate a ticket to future Jambos‘ scheme.

soonbe110 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 17 minutes ago, Bull's-eye said: Show me the stats that show this overwhelming evidence of multiple season ticket holders in one house. I suspect the percentage of multiple season tickets will be very low, the multiples will be parent and children I imagine and I would like to think in time the club will address that situation. My own circumstances are 2 season tickets at a cost of £1250 so I include myself in the very small percentage of multiple ST holders. I should be more pissed off than anybody but I understand fully the predicament the club is in and honestly just want to watch Hearts play again. If it's by streaming it then that's fine by me. The club could have done nothing. Agreed. 10 seasons spread over three households for my lot. Not fussed re arrangements for streaming and games carried over. Staying in business is top priority. If it’s true that no PPVallowed then the Club made the right call, intentional or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henryheart Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 55 minutes ago, Bull's-eye said: Bullshit. Crippling supporters with debt is rubbish. If they bought a season ticket knowing they couldn't afford it then then they're stupid. It's a shame you're down financially but as long as your bills are paid then you'll get zero sympathy from me. If I thought for 1 second the club where using C19 to gain any financial advantage over me I'd never return. Really? So you are telling me that every person who bought a season ticket could afford to do so and that there are no stupid Hearts supporters? Get real; lots of people spend money they cannot afford. Hearts are not in partnership with a credit company to facilitate the purchase of a relatively small price purchase for nothing. I would imagine that if repayments are not made, then the costs increase and so on. That's how people get crippled with debt - just ask the Citizens Advice Bureau.

Shanks Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Will still be shocked if we see a championship ball kicked behind closed doors. The whole reason our season is kicking off in October is because that’s when we thought we’d have fans back, if we are going to be playing behind closed doors the season may as well have started ages ago. Don’t see why championship clubs can suddenly afford it when they couldn’t before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute Scenes Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) A few of the crowd I go to games with (used to call them friends but their actions and attitudes of late towards the club make me want to distance myself from them) are begrudged to pay full price for adult season tickets. One is doing exams in his role no work at present and is trying to buy a student ticket...surely the club would need proof if someone wasn’t a student right? You couldn’t just say “aye um studying gies a cheaper ticket”?? Edited September 24, 2020 by Absolute Scenes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is a supporter stupid for giving the club money to help that club survive based on a GUARANTEE by that club. If the club has said exactly what they were offering, many people that bought a ST, based on that guarantee, wouldn't have bought! They certainly wouldn't have bought 2, 3, 4 season tickets for the household. 100% this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionFJambo Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Sounds like the club are making it up as they go along. What is clear is having completely abused the wording already if they allow Hearts World for £12.99 overseas or PPV for any less than £35 per game they are breaching what they have left (i.e. no one disadvantaged). The no PPV is probably a convenient way to try and not cause any more issues. I think those wanting refunds or minded to do so would probably have been less likely to do so if a week on the substantive replies people were told would come had appeared. I'd also be cautious about accessing games/streams until such a time a satisfactory resolution is made. Final thought would be it's very kind of certain fans to tell others how they should spend their money or their money should be used. It is of course up to the individuals.

The problem is who do you believe? If the SPFL rules prohibit PPV streaming them the rules are daft, but with it being the SPFL you never know. But do I trust Hearts to be honest ? Unfortunately I don't - they may be telling the truth, but on the other hand I wouldn't bet my life on it. Interesting to note that the most expensive Raith season ticket is £200, but I suppose that's another discussion...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodLord Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 For those of us who have 3/4 season tickets for the family this is a complete stitch up. I also think it’s very unfair, and I realise it’s not deliberate, that some of us feel we’re somehow now viewed as not proper supporters or PHM (hate that term) for not just accepting our money is going to a greater good. My experience of watching Hearts home games will simply not exist, I and my boys have sat in the same seats for a few years and streaming will simply not work. My boys are 13 and 15 and anyone with boys (or girls) of a similar or indeed different age will know that there is little chance of all of us sitting round an iPhone or iPad and while they may start out with best intention they will very soon find other things to do. In fact this for me is the saddest part in all this, I absolutely love going to games with my boys and I fear last season will be it at least for my eldest.
