August Landmesser Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The SF went to general sale eventually, meaning that the final is also basically a general sale, for everyone who attended the SF (which should help to keep Huns out). The two-tickets for STs is a wrinkle, but I think this is intended as a reward for folk who bought STs not knowing if they could even attend games this season. Folk on 120 without an ST are very likely to have had an ST for the COVID seasons, when they spent a lot of money to see no live football at all (a blessing at some points last year!). I can see what the club are thinking here, and ultimately everyone with an ST or over 120 points has had an opportunity for a ticket. It's not flawless but no ticket system ever is.

Percival King Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 19 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. I think you're absolutely right. It should be for the club to determine who gets tickets, not for a season ticket to pass on a second ticket which they've been able to buy. I have a pal who moved away from Edinburgh some years ago, he had a season ticket and used to travel to away games with us including a few in Europe, his Hearts supporters credentials are in no doubt to me and perhaps he is the sort of supporter who would make a decent case for getting my second ticket (to be clear, I'm not buying a second ticket), to me he'd be more deserving than a glory hunting daytripper, nonetheless you're right in what you say and it would seem that you and many others like you are more deserving of a ticket than my pal.

PapaShango Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I'm going to log in tomorrow morning and will try and buy a couple of tickets. Since I'm doing hospitality I have no issue selling these to a fellow jambo who may miss out. If anyone is looking for a ticket(s) let me know and I'll try help out. I should be able to get another 2 tickets with having a ST and being at the semi Final (also using my son's ST account). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher75 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Tickets arrived! Showed my 12 year old daughter who examined her ticket thoroughly and then asked a very astute question.

John Blair Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I’ve already emailed the ticket office about this, but does anyone know if I will be able to login on my own Hearts' account (not eligible for a ticket) but use my friend's season ticket reference by adding him to my network? He already has his own ticket purchased but isn't going to be able to login tomorrow to buy another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic v Rangers was the first game drawn, even though they were the 2nd game played, thanks to telly footering aboutness. Ergo the winner of the first semi final drawn is the 'home' team in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In either case they have no idea who that second ticket is being purchased for. This is why a loyalty points threshold and /or purchase of a semi ticket phase should have been next before anybody had the chance to purchase a second ticket.
