Rockwell Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 A few years ago you were able to sign up and you got every away ticket sent out to you. it's was quite a commitment to make .I liked it as go to all away games . don't know the reason it was stopped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Unless you're already in the habit of going to every away game, then these aren't really necessary. It might get you a ticket for Easter Road easier, but you're also committing to multiple jaunts up to Inverness and Ross County over the season, and every game you don't go to is wasted money.

The Gorgie Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 No for me. Love away game but don't go to them all, lets be honest it's never really a struggle to get tickets anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hogfather Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Don't really struggle for tickets, but I wouldn't be opposed to paying a lump sum up front and not having to shell out when they roll around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikoliunas Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Wouldn't be very fair on those who have racked up loyalty points if Joe bloggs could stroll in and buy tickets for every away game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I wouldn't buy one but no harm in exploring the option if there are folk wanting to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1953 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I usually manage to get to any away game I want to go to so there isn't any need for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown user Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 The other clubs won't discount the prices so you'd have to pay full price, up front. If they're already easy enough to get, what's the point? And that's ignoring the fact we don't actually know what the ticket prices will be in advance, Hearts don't set them.

Two options: 1) A season ticket minus Rangers and Celtic or 2) A lottery draw if given less allocation (say we sold 2,000 away season tickets and Old Firm given us 1,000 so 1,000 in the lottery draw. Those who didn’t get lucky would get a partial refund. On a side note, about paying upfront - again partial refund whatever left after the last away game of the season.

ri Alban Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Maybe a couple of cup games should be on the actual season ticket, never mind taking more dosh up front from away tickets.

The Treasurer Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I had one when the club last issued them and we always got given the worst seats available. So no thanks, the current system of loyalty points is fine if demand outstrips supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinSmith1255 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Loyalty points are good for me. It is many years since I missed a cut-off for a game I wanted to attend. I avoid Ibrox and Parkhead so I wouldn’t want a season away ticket and end up paying the OF for games I didn’t go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabienleclerq Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Away season tickets were hibs stupid response to mismanaging a basic loyalty point system ,they tried to make loyalty points a money spinner and thus passed off regular away game goers. Loyalty points works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Personally, no. But like others, as much as I love an away day, I don't go to them all. Maybe only a few a season. I like the LP system a lot. It's simple and it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
