JALBO Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 1 hour ago, scott herbertson said: the issue has always been we get less money that way. splitting the Roseburn means a large block of seats between the two sets of fans cannot be sold. We get full whack for these seats from OF and Hibs fans, less if we fill H J & part of K with Hearts season ticket holders. personally I would go for 1 sell the three stands until 99%full 2 offer H and J at a slightly reduced ST price with no Hibs game i do get why people want to reduce the OF but I feel there is less of a case for removing the Hibs fans and having thereby a smaller attendance for the derby. Every seat should be full for that game I think this was especially true a few years ago, but nowadays, the lost income from the large block of seats that is used for segregation when Hearts and aways fans both share the Roseburn is mitigated somewhat by the fact that, when we do give the full Roseburn to Hibs or the OF, we take a big chunk of seats off sale at both lower ends of the Roseburn, as well as the front few rows immediately behind the goal, and we don't sell any tickets in lower G to home fans. I should probably do a count of "not for sale" seats sometime, but, off the top of my head, we might find by giving a couple of sections of the Roseurn to Hearts fans, we're actually selling just 150 or so seats less when all's said and done.

Have I completely misread the dates? I think you have until the date specified to renew your ticket in your current seat, if that makes sense. Then it’s general sale. but all other seats on sale just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JALBO Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 2 hours ago, David McCaig said: Although we still have the issue of blocks of tickets not being released ie the bottom section next to the Police Box and lower G. That's right, and it's a mystery why seats there aren't opened up for general season ticket sale. I recall a poster mentioning their organisation is given a number of season tickets in that section, but I'm sure it was only half a dozen, or something like that. Lower G - I'd love for the club to bring that back into proper use again - there's certainly no reason I can think of why they can't when Hearts fans are in H&J of the Roseburn.

Was after this incident with Dundee United in 2015 that the segregation barrier was made massive. I'm fairly sure there was a statement from Ann Budge about it too. The problem wasn't the narrower segregation barrier but that it wasn't properly secured so the Dundee United guy was able to just move it out the way. Nearly 7 years later and we're still being punished... does seem quite excessive. It really ought to be plain maroon too, looks so ugly being white with G4S logos.

Absolute Scenes Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Anyone know if you can change seats once renewed? For example, I renewed to a different seat from my one I had this season, but say I wanted to see if I could move from my new seat, to another new seat, will that be possible?

I think we should have a fixed barrier floor to ceiling of preferably strong perspex , if we give a team the whole end it wouldn't matter but for other games eg old firm ones stop the missiles directed at the rival fans.

Although it doesn't alone explain the smaller segregation that we previously had in the Roseburn, or the significantly larger segregation at both lower ends of the Roseburn than we previously had if we have a full stand of Hibs/OF fans.

Wonder how many seats will be released once the renewal period expires. There arent many tickets left. I'd guess 1,000 would be a decent ballpark number. There'll always be a fair number who sadly die, or suffer declining health or simple old age, causing them to stop going. Some will have kids and not have the time or money. Job problems, difficult shifts, difficult spouses, emigrating, and all sorts of other reasons will have people give up their season ticket, but the good news is there'll always be more folk coming along to replace them. Young folk who just got old enough to get themselves one for the first time, parents now getting their kid's first one, folk who couldn't afford it before but have now got a new job! For anyone who isn't currently a season ticket holder but wants one for next season, my advice would be to buy the best you can get just now then see if you can get a move to a better seat when the renewal period ends, rather than just wait for the general sale, as the pickings may be slimmer then!

You don't have to wait til the public sale officially starts to buy the additional tickets. You can renew your existing tickets and buy the new ones from the seats that are currently available. Then you can try and move to seats together after the renewal period finishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed the ticket office today because I can't buy my daughter's U13 season ticket either from my account or hers. They said I need to go in to the ticket office which seems a bit crazy and not ideal for folks who don't live in Edinburgh. I also got a confusing answer to my question about the cut off date for U13 tickets. I assumed if you are under 13 at the start of the season, you can get an U13 ticket. Can't find anything in the terms and conditions about this. Does anyone know how this works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
