I don’t see a ticket # on my email.

Order Number but no actual ticket number.

Bought 2 and very glad to help ICT out as I think they've been struggling financially.  

 

Have managed to go the season so far without paying for any team that voted to demote us, except East fife where I couldn't get a stream.  Not too bothered about decisions to boycott or not, but it's my small way of protesting the events of the summer.

 

East Fife are one of the good guys anyway having voted the right way in the initial vote. 👍

Absolutely brilliant, as always  so proud to be a jambo 👏

4250 in less than 24 hours. Could easily be over 10k by the time we’re done.

 

Im selling mine on eBay for £60 when they sell out.🤪

 

Joking aside, any and all Hearts fans who were pissed off with how other clubs shafted us should definitely do this. Christ it makes you feel damn good to hit back in some way.

 

Totally agree, the feeling that some club chairmen are sitting there pissed about this is giving me a warm feeling inside.

feck them all

Think the East Fife game the only away game PPV I've paid for. Will happily watch away games on illegal streams, would've paid for Inverness game if PPV. Only the good guys shall get my cash and won't cheat them. The FOH been getting some extra of what I can afford for the away games.

This in spades. Bought my ticket but in all honesty would happily do so without getting a signed ticket save our legend from chronic arthritis in the future, that's some amount of signing to do.

Couple of hundred a day till they get sent out on the 22nd. That's some commitment.

There won’t be a boycott next season. Not a hugely observed one anyway. Unless of course Dundee join us in the league. I think they would still get boycotted to a large extent.

 

We’ve made our point and rubber stamped it with this ICT ticket gesture. No one will be in any doubt why that has happened. It is and should be a one off unless we get certain teams in the cup where it might be done again.

 

1500 people being absent from Fir Park won’t make a blind bit of difference to their finances over the course of a season and might well impact negatively on a team which will need everything we can give them in terms of vocal support.

 

Personal choice of course but I’ll be going to 4 or 5 selected away games as per normal. I imagine that most folk who go to far more away games than I do will be champing at the bit to get back.

Would love Hearts to give Celtic absolute minimum amounts of tickets for Tynecastle going forward. It would certainly make some noise in the media

Worth every penny to think how the Dundees,, Dunfermlines, Raiths and Ayrs of this world are thinking. Get it right up every single one of you. Our memories will last for a long time to come on them and others actions.

I didn’t buy tickets to get it up these other teams. But it is a nice side benefit.

It's not garbage at all. I attend matches with about 7 or 8 pals and Ross County apart, we will be attending all other away matches.

It is interesting, or maybe different is a better work, to read just how many fans of other championship clubs, are getting a bit disappointed by the number of virtual tickets HMFC fans are purchasing for this game up at Inverness. Many of them just seem to think this is because Robbo and Scott Gardiner are at ICT just now and that is having an impact. Those same fans may well be unaware that when we as a club were struggling back in 2013 ICT made a payment into the forerunner of FOH to help us out, and they also voted against the ending of last season, a final decision from others which resulted in our demotion. The purchase of these tickets is being done for a club who have offered us support in the past, and is a means of saying thank you at a time they are struggling. As far as I can see the fans of mainly two premier league clubs ae making their negative thoughts known, Celtic and Hibs fans, and I'm not at all surprised by that. Other fans seem to be mainly championship clubs whose fans don't understand why we haven't been purchasing PPV in bulk to help them out as well. I think the best word to respond to that is the word karma. For the Inverness game I believe the virtual number of tickets now sold is around the 4,500 mark, with many still to be purchased. I'm guessing there is at least 1 supporters club whose figures aren't included in that, and they will be taking into account the cost of their bus if the game had gone ahead and making a payment of around £1,000 in the form of virtual tickets. A few smaller clubs have maybe discovered that you can side with one half of the OF behind closed office doors, but if you piss off the HMFC support you will be well and truly bitten on the arse.

 


Excellent stuff and good to hear it’s been noted outside ICT/Hearts. At this level we can make a difference, either for you or against you. 

 

Having said that, the thought that we would do this out of loyalty to Scott Gardiner is rather amusing!

If we play Celtic or Rangers soon after fans are allowed back in I think they'll be limited to one section each as everyone is gagging to get back into Tynie.

Or walk up sales. I think post lockdown football attendances will be huge, at least for a while.

I have a feeling our away support will be as it was pre-covid-not that great unless we're doing well. 

 

If some ringpiece Hearts fans  😊 want to stay away from these fixtures then good. 😎

I think your misjudging the actual level of desire to follow through and actually boycott games We’ve not even been boycotting PPV apart from those who have been vocal about doing so on here. Raith Rovers just smashed their audience record for PPV when we played them a couple of weeks ago.

 

The boycott is a myth. Going away to watch Hearts is far too big a pull for it ever to be successful. It’s very easy to say you’re doing it when your not even allowed to go. Waking up on a Saturday morning and actually doing it is a whole different thing.

Yes I agree, but I’m sure we need to let them know at the start of the season how many tickets they’ll be allocated.

I suppose, but for one two games a season it would be worth the financial hit. We should show that club the same respect they gave us.

Ms Budge wouldn’t agree so that’s that until it’s not her decision I’m afraid. Personally I think we should put a fence in there and sell budget ST’s in our bit to those who find the expense a bit much to handle. That would be a good thing to do for a fan base that has gone the extra mile for years to support the club financially

Fantastic.  I'll be buying mine.  At least 2.  5 if I've had a couple of chardys before I press the button.

 

I will not forget that voting scam till my dying day.

Really? Surely allocations are just a few weeks before the game when date is finalised for any TV etc. 
 

Would be disappointed if the OF got the full Roseburn by default without walk up sales being given a chance.

Would an original signed letter photocopied not do?  I know it’s not the same but, is there any suggestion anywhere that this is not an option?

Ive got no way of checking (can’t be arsed if I’m honest) but I’m pretty sure that reason was given in past years

These are hard times for many people and that no doubt includes many Hearts supporters.  That makes this project all the more impressive.

 

Hibs recently raised £50,000 for themselves, well done.  We are very close to raising that for an oponent.

 

If that doesn't make you proud I don't know what would.

We’ll see if it’s garbage. First game back at ER I expect a sell out and if we’re not boycotting THEM, we won’t be boycotting anyone. We’ll see though. Bookmark for 6 weeks after away fans are allowed back and we’ll discuss if you like

I think reasonable people can disagree about the future of a boycott.

 

What makes it fun is that so can unreasonable people.

Hearts fans have been signing up for the PPV. Raith Rovers had a lot of sign ups, so did Morton and Alloa.

I was actually talking about just 2 games next season against the team most likely behind all that went on in the summer. Give them a couple of hundred tickets and sell all extras at seriously reduced prices for season ticket holders to distribute to family and friends?

Do you think they had as many as expected? 

 

Not even close.

 

Raith claimed ours was their biggest uptake (at that point) but how many fans of the likes of Morton, QotS, ICT do you think would have signed up? The only game comparable to us for them would be Dunfermline.

Possibly but it’s about time she listened to her own support? Surely even Mrs Budge must posses some anger towards that mob after last year. Maybe it’s just me 😂
