Season Tickets 2021/22 - over 12,500 sold

[Kiwidoug]

Does anyone know when ours go on sale and when our financial position will be known?

 

I appreciate that both these subjects will come under our club's total secrecy policy but it's a bit tricky to sell STs if people don't know they're for sale.

Its a need to know basis and we don't need to know, yet.

[DETTY29]

How many clubs have released their full end to end season ticket packages yet?

Maybe we should play at Murrayfield next season as no chance Sturgeon will permit full crowds.

Nah. Don’t know what the percentages will be come August but say it was 10% for the sake of argument. I’d rather Hearts playing in front of 2K in Tynecastle than 6.7K in Murrayfield every day of the week.

Scorland have been told 16500 for an international next month at Murrayfield.  So no reason why it should be less than that.

Sorry, wasn’t aware of that. So 25% then. 5K in Tynecastle if they’re being fair about numbers.

You thinking of buying one then ? 

I know you are in NZ but that shouldn't stop you if you're really interested in when they go on sale.

Logistical nightmare. Depends on how many will be allowed in. Every second game? How much can they charge?

Murrayfield good idea if possible , but saying that hearts are normally shite at murrayfield, if it gets fans in , I'm all for it ..

Makes perfect sense until everyone can get back to Tynecastle.

No it doesn't. 

We would make a loss once the rent and expenses were paid out. 

[Hungry hippo]

I'm definitely in favour of remaining at Tynecastle even if it means we all need to miss some games. Murrayfield was bad enough last time but would be horrendous with a socially distance crowd.

[1971fozzy]

If we miss games then so be it. It’s shit but if I can stream then fair enough. It will be what it will be. I’m getting my ST and expecting streams initially. Anything else is a bonus 

 

no thanks for murrayfield. I don’t want that at all

On Friday, Scottish Government said they would publish their plans for 'beyond level zero' in the next three weeks, with an expectation that if vaccine roll out continues to go smoothly and rates of infection continue to drop, we'd move beyond level zero in late July or August (which would make sense as by end of July all adults are due to have been offered the first dose of the vaccine).

 

I'm still hopeful that we will have capacity crowds in stadiums for the start of the league season (maybe not the league cup group stages).

 

If everyone has been offered a vaccine by the end of July, then they will all have been offered a second dose by the end of October. If after that we aren't back to full stadiums after that, then we really do have a problem, because there isn't any more action that we can sensibly take other than another round of much tighter lock down.

[jr ewing]

All about preferences at the end of the day. Fed up with the streaming and I bet I'm not the only one. At least getting to a match keeps an interest going.

whatever the SG decide on numbers, the LC group games could be used as "test events" as the crowds are never huge anyway so most, if not all, fans wanting to go would be accommodated even with a reduced capacity.

Yep. Given the choice of a stream or going to Murrayfield then it would be the latter option every time. 

 

The longer we and other clubs our size go without fans we run the risk of losing a generation of fans to the super League clubs that we'll never win back.

I don't think sitting in Murrayfield with social distancing in force is going to encourage people to take up going to football.

Sorry to disagree. People find other things to do. Don't want to be sitting in front of a screen , I've been doing that too often lately.

I hear that but the latest spike in G41 and the cancellation of the Cup Final fans, limited as it was, tells me they won’t think twice to hit certain areas if cases rise, regardless of hospital numbers. Won’t affect Tynecastle of course if there’s a rise elsewhere. 
Just not confident football grounds will be a priority for politicians. When has it ever been in all honesty ?

 

I'm not a politician but, right now, football grounds are not a priority for me. Getting the vaccine out across the planet, now that's what I call a priority. The best politician of my generation, Gordon Brown, gets it.

 

I hope I can get to some games next season but I accept that the road ahead is bumpy.

I'd sooner murrayfield with more fans distanced than tynecastle with a fraction of fans in.

 

Both are preferable to a fekkin laptop stream

The FA cup final showed a stadium only 20% full could create a great atmosphere.

But then those of us who attended Tynie before it was redeveloped knew that.

Politicians in general, and the current FM don't give a shit about football unless it's a vote winner. Bottom line is they have to start letting fans in sometime or we're all fkd. Who's to say it's going to be any better next year or the year after

It's not just football, it's rugby, concerts etc, any big sporting event or mass gathering. 

 

Also, as per the rangers fans celebrations last week it's perfectly reasonable for governments to be wary of football crowds returning.

Does nobody think that using Murrayfield might just be a wee bit expensive when every pound's a prisoner?

Same for me and I suspect a lot of others. 

 

[kila]

Murrayfield is a good idea if a deal can be struct with SRU. I'd rather be able to go watch the Hearts than not and we're lucky to have the largest stadium in the country a stone throw from our own.

 

[been here before]

Given the SRU are in the same boat as the rest of the sporting business world, they maybe wouldnt be too hard to deal with if it meant any sort of income.

 

If it means getting to games then go for it. The alternative of more Hearts TV shit coverage is too awful to contemplate.

Wrong forum for this but if you think Gordon Brown was best of your generation then surely you were around during Donald Dewars days?....way better than GB.

All before the social media darlings that now exists and can be destroyed just as quickly. Anyway as I said wrong forum put it in the Shed👍

My main point is, on the subject of season tickets and when we might get back into football grounds in large numbers, it will be a while yet, but I can accept that because of the big picture - the need to deal with covid, which is an international challenge. 

 

I realise that Kickback has a proud tradition of people always sticking fastidiously to the point, with no digressions, and will try to do better in future.

Yes. Gordon brown was hopeless.

Assuming it could contain at least  2 or 3 times more than Tynie could in present circumstances could be a win win for Hearts and the SRU.

May have been mentioned already but read today Rangers have already sold 44,000 season tickets already. Hopefully we hear something soon.
