Given our segregation arrangements, I think our effective capacity when the Roseburn is shared is probably very close to 19,000. I suspect we can't quite reach that figure when all things are taken into account, with 18,800-ish being my guess. Would like to be wrong though.

I guess they think they will get some lucrative hospitality sales over the weekend. But I agree they should be able to release more, earlier, and perhaps consider opening up the exchange scheme earlier, though they would have to be careful not to kill last sales of the unsold seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Jalbo you already have an important role being everybody's favourite dot counter, so I think you should start the ball rolling regarding the ticket office and how they are going to rectify it.

Yes, we factor in those unused seats into the effective capacity - it's a shame to have seats going begging when we're selling games out. I imagine the club could sell them for half price or something on the basis of the restricted view....but I don't think it's on the clubs' radar.

I'm pretty certain that Sunday's home ticket sales will be the highest for a Tynecastle league game since sometime in the 80s - similarly the Ross County game a couple of weeks ago.
