Yeah... the Aberdeen allocation will be telling. I'm now thinking it may be better being part of a 'network' application. But if I decide to do that, and others in that 'network' were at the celtic game... am I doing my chances more harm than good? I seriously hope that if anyone applied for the celtic game (and were unsuccessful) they are automatically issued a ticket for the Aberdeen game... then (and only then), what's left, goes to ballot. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people will always miss out. The problem is the Scottish government’s restrictions. Edit: Post above proves my point. We have people in the ballot who can’t make it ffs. This isn’t a go at that poster but it shows the problem we are facing. You think it’s fair that at the end of September some people might have seen Aberdeen and Livingston and others might have seen Celtic and Hibs? Hearts categorise games so ensuring everyone gets a category A game should be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully all ST holders will be ok for the Hibs game though but it is difficult for the club do this fairly in everyone’s eyes when there is still so much uncertainty.

You're right, it must be an administration nightmare... and I'm disappointed to be missing the game - but I'll be happy getting a ticket for the sheep. It's a 'ballot', I get it, not everyone will get to go and I certainly wouldn't expect parents to get tickets and not their kids that sit next to them... I just felt (after reading this thread) the 'successful' comments were weighted towards multiple ticket applications, as opposed to singles.

Saint Jambo Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The idea that fans who got Celtic are likely to get Hibs, while those that get Aberdeen are likely to get Livi (if numbers remain limited) is I think potentially a misunderstanding of how a weighted system would/could/should work. After the Celtic game some people will have had 1 game and some none. So those who have had 0 games would be prioritised for the Aberdeen game. Before the Hibs game most people would have seen 1 game so they would all be treated equally for the Hibs ballot. If attendances go up for the Aberdeen game some people might get tickets for the Celtic and Aberdeen games, but then they'd be at the back of the queue for the Hibs game as they'd have seem 2 games. I'm not saying that is how it will work, but is how a weighting system could deal with the potential unfairness people have identified. Of course that means some people might get Celtic/Hibs while others get only Aberdeen. Some might feel that is unfair, but to be fair to the club, at no point have they said they'd treat games differently. At the same time I'd rather get Celtic/Aberdeen than just Celtic and hope to be prioritised for Hibs because I know at some point restrictions will be lifted so I'd rather frontload my 'luck'. One thing I don't think is clear, unless anyone knows different, is whether if you return your ticket as you can't go, does that count as being succesful in the ballot or not. Saying it doesn't count would help ensure people returned their tickets and didn't just pass them on to mates. But at the same time, that would allow fans to potentially play the system by returning Aberdeen tickets to ensure they got Hibs tickets. Having to ballot is a thankless task for the club and not one I think they can keep people happy, especially when as we can see from this thread people think that some season ticket holders are more deserving from others. I also think trying to divine whether groups are more likely than individuals or platinum seats more likely than silver seats to be succesful from a sample of people you know is pointless.

Jambo-Fox Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I don’t really understand why the attendance of season tickets holders is being restricted. I do understand the need for caution as we transition out of lockdown but to not allow all season ticket holders to attend seems petty and pathetic. Why not cap the attendance by only allowing season ticket holders in? Covid has affected the whole country but I don’t think any region has been significantly worse hit or indeed slower on implementing their vaccination programme, so why have these restrictions? It seems farcical that I can’t use my season ticket for this game but I can go to Adams Park tonight and Loftus Road on Saturday with no restrictions. At least on Saturday I’ll be home in time to watch us on the TV winning our first league game of the season! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in a network group of say three, then only the 'lead' person should apply on behalf of the group. Are you saying they also registered and then applied individually because that should not be permitted? Bizarre. It was me that was questioning it Jonno. I was basically stating that most successful fans getting tickets (on this thread) seem to be weighted towards multiple applications... as opposed to 'singles', like myself. And I was just speculating if it may be because, for instance, 1 application may have 4 horses in the race (or names in the hat)...ie. 4 times more chance than a single? I'm definitely not saying this is the case, just a theory based on this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
