michael_bolton Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Hearts' tweeting today outlining demand will out-strip supply. With that in mind, the extra ticket for ST holders really is very poor. There are all kinds of reasons people don't have STs. Many people work some weekends so only go to games when they're off or can arrange childcare etc. A lot of these people will have a good chunk of Loyalty Points but are being chucked into a lottery alongside the wives/husbands/fathers-in-law etc of season ticket holders. It's not right. I keep reading people on this thread saying it's good that ST holders are being rewarded. That's completely wrong thinking. ST holders are rewarded by getting a seat for every game, getting LPs that give them access to high-demand aways, and getting (rightly) first dibs for semi-finals and finals. That's your reward. Giving ST holders an extra chance to buy a ticket for someone who doesn't qualify themself is not rewarding them, it's punishing those who can't have a ST. Lots of people will have their own sob story. But I'm extremely frustrated as a regular attender of Hearts games, someone who's bought half-season tickets in the past that I can't use to keep the club open, and a FoH contributor from Day One to be chucked into the same category as a ST-holder's boyfriend or girlfriend. I understand Hearts' only real concern here is selling it out and making sure no Rangers fans get tickets. That's fine. But giving the ST holders their extra shot at it before catering for those below the (remarkably high for 22,000 tickets) 120 points is a completely wrong move. I'm sure there will be ST holders reading this who are planning to buy an extra ticket for a day-tripper. Maybe your husband, uncle, gf etc. I'd urge you not to.

Hearts in my opinion have done this all wrong they could have had the first phase with the season ticket holders and 120 loyalty points one ticket only and then drop it down like 100 loyalty points for a couple of days then 80, 60, 40 etc why have a loyalty point system and not use it.

Yip. Seems pretty likely to me that we'll have the bizarre situation where some people who were at the Livi and St Mirren cup ties and who go to watch Hearts regularly won't get a ticket for the final, while there will almost certainly be people at the cup final who have barely darkened the door of Tynecastle in years, if at all.

My main issue is that someone whose first game may well have been the semi final may well get a ticket for not only him but he can bring a pal, this may be his pals first Hearts game and he could get a ticket ahead of myself on 112 loyalty points and a FOH pledger. What's the points in even having a points system if you are not going to implement it? Even the SFA can sell Scotland away tickets well and stick to the points system every time. Everyone is on 0-33 points and it drops down a point each day or if its a tight timescale they drop it 4 times a day at 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm until the tickets are sold.

I live abroad, didn’t go to semi because flights were too expensive for both. Bought a semi ticket for my old man on my account and my brother bought a ticket on his account. Now in my opinion we should be able to get two tickets for the final but instead, if I’m on quick enough we could get four. Like I said, works in my favour because hopefully none of us will miss out but it’s not the way it should have been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's completely wrong. I don't disagree that tickets should've been handled differently, but I do disagree that it's a "pretty likely" scenario that people went to the Livi and St Mirren ties won't be at the final. The chances that they aren't ST holders, nor at the semi and don't know anyone who's a ST holder to order for them feels like it's not a particularly likely scenario at all.

Extra tickets will be for mates/family that don't get to so many games IMO. And in my case for two boys who have been in the Foh from the start and up until this season due to an absolute fekup financially bought season tickets for years and during covid. They deserve them and I'm glad to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holyrood_Hearts Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 5 hours ago, michael_bolton said: Hearts' tweeting today outlining demand will out-strip supply. With that in mind, the extra ticket for ST holders really is very poor. There are all kinds of reasons people don't have STs. Many people work some weekends so only go to games when they're off or can arrange childcare etc. A lot of these people will have a good chunk of Loyalty Points but are being chucked into a lottery alongside the wives/husbands/fathers-in-law etc of season ticket holders. It's not right. I keep reading people on this thread saying it's good that ST holders are being rewarded. That's completely wrong thinking. ST holders are rewarded by getting a seat for every game, getting LPs that give them access to high-demand aways, and getting (rightly) first dibs for semi-finals and finals. That's your reward. Giving ST holders an extra chance to buy a ticket for someone who doesn't qualify themself is not rewarding them, it's punishing those who can't have a ST. Lots of people will have their own sob story. But I'm extremely frustrated as a regular attender of Hearts games, someone who's bought half-season tickets in the past that I can't use to keep the club open, and a FoH contributor from Day One to be chucked into the same category as a ST-holder's boyfriend or girlfriend. I understand Hearts' only real concern here is selling it out and making sure no Rangers fans get tickets. That's fine. But giving the ST holders their extra shot at it before catering for those below the (remarkably high for 22,000 tickets) 120 points is a completely wrong move. I'm sure there will be ST holders reading this who are planning to buy an extra ticket for a day-tripper. Maybe your husband, uncle, gf etc. I'd urge you not to. The last paragraph here I completely agree with. It’s scandalous anyone getting tickets through someone else if they haven’t been near Tynecastle all season or prior.
