Those were the numbers during Romanov early Era, anyway fair play to everyone, wish I could get one, hopefully we have another good season. Well on course to hit the 16k! Which is mental! Already the highest amount in 16 years I think I saw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown user Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 1 hour ago, soonbe110 said: Disagree. Clubs have to be much more generous than that. Arsenals scheme gives 90% of resale ticket price to the season ticket holder to be used as a credit towards following seasons season ticket. Good deal for the season ticket holder and good deal for the club as they get 10% for nothing plus the seat is used so food, drinks, programmes etc all possibly purchased. It also costs the club money when that 90% is taken off the money they get for the ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky jamboa Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 1 hour ago, JALBO said: I essentially count the seats in each section, and remove seats that we're pretty sure are not for season ticket sale - eg the hospitality seats in Pr, R and S in the main stand, lower T (just the end section), the 120+ unsold seats in lower G of the Wheatfield, upper X in the Gorgie, and on it goes. Once all that's done, I'm able to work out how many seats are probably made available for season ticket sales, and I add those up to get the total that I base my figures on. it's not foolproof - we've seen before that the club has surprised us with seats popping up that we hadn't expected - but it should be pretty close within, let's say, 100-200. Yeah. That's as accurate as you'll get it. I was simplistically thinking 20k tickets available, 2k kept back for away fans and segregation in the roseburn, then c.1000 hospitality seats (?), with about 800 or so tickets remaining for sale, we should be close to 16k sold but we will no doubt keep tickets back for the players plus other reasons.

Percival King Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 As long as the health and safety brigade don't find out, we could reintroduce kids sitting on the perimeter track in front of the advertising hoardings. If each kid was allocated 50cm we could comfortably get 600 in (and that's keeping clear of the dugouts and tunnels), £100 a season ticket and that's another £60,000 income and perhaps several hundred new fans for life. I'll leave the club to work out the fine details like how to make the advertising hoardings visible and dealing with kids that get smacked in the face by a ball or by a player or by a Celtic fan. And we'd have a bigger capacity than Hibs. Sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you've deducted seats held back for hospitality which would explain the larger gaps between capacity and ST availability in the Main and Gorgie stands. If that's the case then there is a real possibility we'll break 16k once hospitality STs are taken into account, assuming H and J end up selling out or thereabouts.

151 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Thank you. To each and everyone of you. The reason why? Because for the first time in my life I am able to say I am a Heart of Midlothian Season Ticket Holder. Me and my partner and our two sons. Wow what a feeling!! And the reason it is viable is because of the Roseburn offer - it is cheaper and just made sense. Living in Dundee and having quite a busy life have meant it was never really possible but when I seen it crash through 14,000 today it made me have a look into the Roseburn as a more financially sane option. Genuinely can't believe i'm able to say i'm a ST holder. Been a member of FoH since day it began but this feels surreal.
