henryheart Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 1 hour ago, FarmerTweedy said: IIRC, a platinum season ticket was £450 this season. 6 individual tickets for cat A games and 13 for cat B games would come to £594. Quite a saving with the season ticket! 1 hour ago, Boab said: Sorry, there is a very significant financial benefit in buying a ST. Mines works out at £14 a game and that includes Cat A games, which are over twice that amount for a walk up ticket. What you both say is perfectly correct, although you may remember pre pandemic the platinum ticket was £500 and a £50 discount was offered for 2020-21 on the basis of games that were not played in 2019-20. The point I was making was that if you miss more than a few of games then there is no real saving; it is not a criticism of the price, just an explanation as to why if money is tight some may choose not to renew.

Hear that. In order to make your ST financially viable, you need to go to most games. There are other benefits of course, hopefully next season we’ll see that when big games come around.

north wales jambo Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 So much to talk about here, Agree season tickets are the main financial money maker for the club, but also think Hearts need to think out of the box a bit.. Its going to be tough financially for a lot of people next season, even more so with families attending games..I’d never purchase a season ticket, not for not wanting to, but time and distance are against me, like others. I would like it if maybe hearts could do a ticket that is for 7-8 games. 1 cat A and 6-7 cat B,.. Like others have said the cost for walk ups is really high, and speaking for myself it does deter me for coming up at times. One big gripe of mine though is the amount of empty seats in bronze in the Gorgie stand, you can see it each week on tv.. Well in to the people who buy a season ticket,, but when you see sold out signs up or only single seats available it is frustrating, especially when the club could make more by reselling them, my guess is we have brilliant fans who purchase them but are unable or won’t see a match all season. In summary my opinion is that walk up tickets are to expensive, and before anyone moans, we put money into the foh, buy lots of merchandise etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckydug Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 No idea if the arrangement for Hearts TV will continue next season. The free Hearts TV access has been a real help when people have been unable to attend this season. If that arrangement can be continued its another selling point for STs. If people know in advance they are unable to attend they could either get the club to resell or donate to Big Hearts or the tickets for kids thread on here.

If people know in advance they are unable to attend they could either get the club to resell or donate to Big Hearts or the tickets for kids thread on here. I’ve often thought we should have a register of folk who don’t have the means for a full price season ticket or a full price match day ticket. Full ST holders who can’t attend would have their ticket sold to the registry people for a nominal sum (£5-£10) Club makes an extra bit of money. more people in the stadium. good PR. It might incentivise people who can’t attend to pass their ticket on a bit more than they currently do if they know some kid or someone not so fortunate can see the odd game for an amount they can afford. Whatever system is in place for releasing tickets just now isn’t working that well IMO. I’ve missed 3 home games this season. I didn’t bother releasing the ticket for various reasons. Had it been a one click operation on a simple website and I knew someone worthy was getting the ticket, I’d most likely have done it. one of the games missed was very short notice, the other two I knew 4-5 days in advance I wasn’t going.

Locky Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Bit of a weird one this, but I've got 2 ST's, one in my name and one in my ex's name who used to come with me most weeks. We split up last year so naturally, I don't want to continue to use her name to obtain tickets. But, she has 130 LP's on her account. Is there any way to transfer them? She never went to games before she was with me, and given her new man is a Celtic fan, I can't see her wanting to go back any time soon so those points will just sit there unused until such a time as they expire.
