As said, it will become clearer how many seats the Red Zones will take up and other general ST sales etc. 👍 I don't think the red zone should take up too many seats, so I'd expect anyone who hasn't got a ST and wants to attend will get a ticket. To be fair, the statement could have been a bit clearer in relation to arrangements for general sales, so at least reassure non ST holders that tickets would still be available, even if they couldn't guarantee that everyone who wanted one would get one, subject to demand.

I’d imagine ours would be the two nearest sections to the tunnel in the Main and Wheatfield. Quite a few bodies to move around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCrae Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 2 hours ago, Boab said: Our home games are all ticket. Sorry, your post doesn’t make sense. They can only sell tickets to the capacity of the stadium. There is nothing in the statement about the capacity for the Aberdeen game. Sorry, guys, I think you’re all being a bit generous here. The statement says the club will welcome back all season ticket holders…nothing else..just an ambiguous mention of “ going forward “ to capacity. Am I the only sceptical one on this board ? Our clubs comms are pretty useless. Fail to make things clear on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasquale for King Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I don’t think the crowds from last weekend had the front two rows empty (We didn’t v Celtic) , maybe a few seats around the dug outs but definitely only a few hundred that won’t make much of a difference all told.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I reckon capacity will be somewhere around 17k, be well advised to restrict away fans, first few weeks I can see a bit of a clamour for tickets before normal service resumes once cravings have been satisfied.

I think there will still be access to Hearts TV, but there will be something like three links, i.e. one for overseas fans who are paying for live matches as part of their subscription, and two for UK based fans, one for live commentary only and one which will effectively be a pay per view option, so UK based fans who choose not to go or can't attend on a specific matchday have the option of still watching the game at a cost.

Heartsofgold Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 With regard to the streaming of games, I think we should bear in mind that there will still be people, who have bought their season ticket to support the club, but have decided that they are still uncomfortable attending games right now. There may be very few of these but I think the streaming for season ticket holders should still continue for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately up to the owners of the UK tv rights. Although we are at level zero right now the situation is still quite critical, and Covid is going to with us forever probably, although hopefully not at this level. The government will be on the look-out for variants that threaten the vaccine and if they spot one then a lockdown could happen overnight. Allowing away fans into grounds might also be a problem if we get local outbreaks, I can't think of a better way of spreading a virus than by allowing 3,000 odd Celtic or Rangers fans into Tynecastle, remember it's not just Covid they're carrying.

Not as easy as you make it sound. Two completely separate systems with no existing compatibility needing to be linked in a way that will cause no problems and can only be tested in a very limited way before over 10000 people use it on a match day. No chance of this happening. I think this will be the end of hearts TV match access for season ticket holders unless restrictions come back.
