Main Stand - 7.2k Gorgie - 3.5k Wheatfield - 6k Roseburn - 3.5k minus say 1.8k for segregation plus OF allocation. Leaves around 1.7k for home supporters 7.2+ 3.5 + 6k + 1.7k = 18.4k. We usually take the piss with the size of the segregation too. Can cut that a lot like they do at Hampden. I reckon the 2 sections of the roseburn for away fans is around 1400 plus maybe another 600 for segregation so 2000 in total. Hospitality probably accounts for around 1,000 seats and around 500 seats held back for directors and players. Therefore maybe 16,500 absolute max? I wonder if H and J sell well in the Roseburn if we might open up K as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I would hope the club look at the situation in lower G and sell season tickets there again. It's only the derby that will have opposing fans close by so why not sell the seats closest to the corner as non derby tickets like the Roseburn. Extra stewards in the corner of the Roseburn closest to N should be enough to allow STs to be available in lower section there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnking123 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Increasing wheatfield and changing that side to cantilever is all we can really do now.

SectionDJambo Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Now does seem to be the perfect time to restrict Rangers and Celtic, as well as the rest, except Hibs, to one section of the Roseburn stand. Hibs the exception because they give us the whole away end, even though it's obvious they couldn't sell any seats in there to home fans anyway. It's a derby, which thrives on a derby atmosphere. If Hibs fans abuse that privilege by poor behaviour, then change it. As for Rangers and Celtic, they do us little or no favours with away allocations, so who cares what they'll think. They are both an extreme risk to security as well, due to their behaviour and ticket cloning. It's very unfortunate that Hearts fans who now live and work overseas will find it very difficult to go to Tynecastle on trips home, but is there an obvious solution?

Why would you give priority to someone who might attend vs someone who will give you a seasons worth of cash up front? A ST holder is just the same as a walk up, but commits to buying all his tickets at the start (and commits for the season). Two reasons (at least)! Firstly, season ticket prices are at a significant discount to the total price of individual tickets over a season, so selling some seats as walkups will bring in a fair bit more money if they're actually sold for every game. Also if you have 19 different folk buying the walkups over the season, you might get quite a number of them popping into the club shop before or after the game and spending some money there, when they might never have bothered if they hadn't gone to a game, while a season ticket holder might only go to the shop once, or maybe not at all! So there's potentially significantly more money to be made from a bunch of walkups over the season than from a season ticket holder! Of course, that has to be balanced against the fact that season ticket sales bring in guaranteed money before the season even starts, whereas you have to wait to get the individual ticket money and it's not guaranteed that you actually will, as a disappointing season could see interest in attending fall away! On the whole, it's brilliant that we've got really high season ticket sales, but it's not a bad thing at all to have a smallish number of individual match tickets available too!
