mitch41 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) I would support Hearts CEO & the Board considering selling Hearts season tickets to anyone who still wants a ST. We have the capacity and these supporters should be the clubs number one priority. With the old firm getting 1,200 tickets this amount should be cut to a maximum of 366 which is the equivalent percentage of our allocation for Ibrox and near the Parkhead number. Now there would have to be a cut off date and the Old Firm would have to be informed before we play them at Tynie although I can’t see a problem with squeezing their allocation. All of K and most of L could be an area of Season Ticket holders and Walk-Ups. I’d never want a Hearts fan to be told that they can’t buy a Season Ticket because we’re playing a Glasgow team.

Ked Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 People wanting loyalty points or discounts etc Just buy your season ticket if you can't go give it to someone who can and tell them to spend a tenner in the shop. Or ask them to get you something out of the shop. Why does everyone need the club to act like their nanny? Also the people who moaned about the cup final tickets and the way they were allocated. Wonder if that made some consider a purchase . Loyalty points should be a reflection of away games attended primarily. So that those people can get priority for Easter road.

Sarah O Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 If we have a waiting list people should get nothing for missing a game. Rewarding non attendance, so folk can hoard tickets for big games and have priority is ridiculous. That's why Arsenal and the like have huge waiting lists with very few new ST holders per annum. Fans literally locked out by selfish arseholes. If you have a ST and can't go to games, tough titties. You should release your seat/s for sale because you are not an arsehole. If you miss so many games that it's an issue, perhaps a ST isn't for you. This want want want gimmie gimmie gimmie attitude is sickening.

To the best of my knowledge Hearts have only asked ST holders not attending a match to release their ST once in recent years, a NY derby vs Hibs. There are hundreds of Hearts fans that have STs (and have had them for years) and rarely use them. These fans buy STs because they are Hearts supporters, they don’t want anything in return and just want Hearts to do well.

Also like the dot count we saw when buying season tickets could a separate page be linked showing the current tickets for a specific game that are being resold ?

Similar situation for me - and the few local jambos I know all have season tickets too. surely if there’s an relatively simple and inexpensive way for the club to make more money on an occasionally unused season ticket seat, it’s worth setting up as an option. Just make any incentive involved small enough that it makes it worthwhile for the club to administer? I don’t really get why anyone would object.

XB52 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I want the club to make as much money as possible so they need to have a SIMPLE method of putting ST seats up for resale, and the club have said they are looking at doing this. I'm away for a few months every season and I know my seat is empty a few times. Personally not bothered about getting some reward for a resale of my seat but, if it helps to get people to participate in a resale scheme, then so be it.

His name is Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 It could be as simple as emailing the ticket office to inform them you can't go. TO release the seat on the system to be bought. TO send out a voucher to the ST holder if the seats sold. Voucher can be spent I'm shop or towards next seasons ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fortunate that I've been able to afford, or budget, to have a season ticket (which I've used) since the mid-eighties but no idea how I'm "extremely priviliged". I, and however many thousand like me, have given money to the club despite knowing that we could buy a walk-up ticket for every game, despite knowing that there would be few capacity crowds in a season. And do you know what, when our fortunes fade again (which I hope they don't but history and experience tells us they probably will), we have few capacity crowds and don't sell out out our season tickets, I'll still pay my £450 a year whilst plenty of others will ditch their season ticket until we're on the crest of a wave again.

Maybe they shouldn't expect anything and maybe they should just suck it up but if there's no incentive to ask the club to resell their ticket for a sold out match then it's a undeniable fact that some season ticket holders who can't attend will just do nothing and not release the ticket back to the club and walk-ups could miss out on the game.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 The club is crawling with IT expertise and links. It should be easy to set up a page on the website that makes it easy for fans to put a seat for sale with the money going wherever decided. Easy also to build in options of where the money goes depending on a person’s circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankblack Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 (edited) There is discussion about the club offering streams to those who release their ticket. I'm pretty sure that this is not something the club has power to do post-Covid as streams to UK residents was a temporary measure that won't be available next season (unless we have another lockdown). Sky allowed us to do that as an "act of goodwill" during the pandemic and now its gone. Edited June 26, 2022 by frankblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just email the club and they'll release it for sale. Then based on this thread its not very well publicised and still requires more effort in simplifying it to ensure its widely used. Ideally just an option on the etickets site. Edited June 26, 2022 by RedStarRiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCrae Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I would be happy to donate my ticket for the odd game if for some reason I can’t make it. I want Hearts to get as much money as possible and don’t want to take anything from the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used it in the past when my mate or Dad was unable to take my season ticket and I actually just used to phone them up it was really simple may be it is more difficult and they insist on email now but I would be surprised if so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
