frankblack Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 6 minutes ago, MaskedMarauder said: Sorry if this has been covered already but I’m so confused with the whole thing. I paid full whack for my platinum season ticket last year and never used Hearts TV or took any vouchers so does my ticket carry over to this year? Fully intending to obviously pay money towards the club but times are so tough at the moment so could do without another full season ticket payment right now? I think you had the Partick friendly free on the service and possibly the first league match against Dundee then had to notify the club if you were wanting to roll your season ticket over. I think there was an email sent out plus messages on the Hearts website. If you didn't do that and didn't use the service you have probably missed the chance to roll the season ticket forward to next season.

Even Hearts could sell say a new category A++ ST which allowed entry to all games except the hoboes & old squirm but with TV access to them which might be attractive to many!

If cat b season tickets are offered and most of us end up watching on hearts tv, rather than on the ground then chances are the cat a games will be on sky. So everyone would be as well buying cat b tickets and either watching cat a games at home or in the pub. Assuming we aren’t in the ground.

Yes - difficult. I had decided that I was not going to get a ST after having one for many years - but was going to continue with my FoH donations. Then I thought "that is daft" - why pay and not be able to attend (if I chose to). So I cancelled FoH and will get ST - although may not attend. We are in a ridiculous situation.

You should be able to get concessions for games not covered last season. Should knock a few quid of the price imo.

As cheap as football was, to me, before working and then getting paid apprentice wages, the saving on entrance money was great. Not only did you get entry to all the cup ties etc., the ticket was cheaper than the admission for all the, then, 17 home league games. There was usually a separate gate for season tickets too, which could save on queuing time for big games. As you said, since the ground became all seated it’s become more necessary to have one to ensure being next to your mates or in a good position to watch the games.
