McCrae Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 30 minutes ago, HoGwash said: Not sure where the ugly sisters came into my post, I never mentioned them. Just seems selfish that some people want to deprive what could be a significant number of Hearts supporters from having a season ticket and watching the derby because they're worried that their day out to ER once or twice a year might be impacted. And for the record, I do go to derbies at ER. Having a full stand at ER, is not just about a day out. I reckon is also good for the team and may help us secure more points.

We have already reduced the old firm away allocation so to not sell season tickets to Hearts fans for the sake of two home games against Hibs makes no sense to me, even taking into account Hibs might reduce our allocation in response.

JALBO Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Season ticket availability tonight: Wheatfield: 260 Main: 150 Gorgie: 66 LEFT: 476 At the start of last season, I estimated that the club had around 14,900 seats in these three stands available for season ticket purchase. Bearing in mind the discussion that's being had just now about whether the club might want to reintroduce some form of season ticket for the Roseburn, and assuming a similar number are available in Wheatfield, Main and Gorgie stands for this coming season, we would probably need to sell less than 900 more season tickets than last year in order to sell out the available seats unless the Roseburn comes into play. (The club announced this week that we had over 14,000 ST holders). Even though there's less than 500 currently left - and a good few new ones have obviously been bought since yesterday already - there will inevitably be some fresh seats available once the current season ticket holders renewal period ends in June.

Demand isn’t their yet to make it clear we need to look at selling tickets for the Roseburn stand. Once we see what the up take is like the club will make the call. Maybe they are not expecting demand to be that strong and thus could be the reason they haven’t already advertised Cat B tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'll hear something about the Roseburn come June. As it stands now, there are single seats dotted around the other stands so probably would make sense for the club to introduce something so people could sit together. I'd imagine that's their thinking. With only one guaranteed Hibs game pre-split, it would make sense to sell A tickets in there...in my humble opinion !

The domestic Cup games I believe we have to offer away teams 20% of our capacity. In these circumstances we would not be able to guarantee all our ST holders the opportunity to buy a ticket. We used to sell category B season tickets for the Roseburn these excluded old firm and hibs games. We could do this again but only exclude the hibs game and keep the Derby special.

It’s not just the games at Easter Road… I think having a full Roseburn stand adds to the atmosphere of the games at Tynecastle. Bung in the fact the club would make more money, no segregation required in the Roseburn. For atleast 12 of our home games it’s easy to get a ticket. Until we start selling out those games I don’t think we need to do any changes. Giving people the incentive to renew season tickets so they can watch the big is the smart thing to do.
