Sooks Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 The screens will be a welcome addition and obviously there will be adverts on them so we make money but the important thing is not to just have them on cycling volume up adverts like some one has left the TV on in the back ground ………….. visual adverts are fine with music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Magic Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I wonder if KickBack will advertise on the new big screens? If you are looking for a face for the campaign I put mine forward. I’m stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend has just said triple all ticket prices to give Hearts the equivalent income of a 60,000 sold out Stadium! That would increase match day income to the same level as the traditional ‘big 2’ in the league! Actually he’s just added quadruple all ticket prices!! Giving the equivalent income from a sold out 80,000 seater stadium! A bigger match day income than the ‘big 2’! Surely if the money was well spent the League Championship would be Hearts? I’d happily pay to see that and I’m sure all Hearts supporters that could afford to would happily do likewise! How ‘mental’ would that be, Hearts Scottish Premier League Champions!? ♥️♥️♥️♥️ I'll have some of what you're taking. Despite the twisted logic to your proposals The match day income would still be nowhere near the OF even if we quadrupled it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure if this means ALL home games, or just league games. 18 home games, so very (very very) roughly £2.4m a game... Flip side is Rangers were 'only' £23m, so £1.2m a game. Not sure where we are by comparison, but considering a good season has our total turnover at £15m, fair to say they're light years ahead. One thing I found interesting though was someone saying Aberdeen make a lot of their money through hospitality, which I thought was odd since Pittodrie is a dump.

johnking123 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Our hospitality is going to make a real difference for the coming season. Was growing before the pandemic hit and is was just starting to improve again last season. With Europe, things like weddings and possibly something happening with the second floor. It should really help our budget as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sold out for every game last season and tickets were hard to come by, even against bottom 6 teams. The only thing that could be done better imo, is to increase capacity for hospitality as its clearly a winner and makes the club a lot of money.

Yeah, it’s about sensible incremental growth year on year. Gradually turning as much of the stadium as possible into a revenue generating machine! I firmly believe the ground is a little too small, and expansion is necessary.
