Thanks mate. Good to know. They could have saves themselves a lot of hassle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there really no print at home option or collection in Riga available? Doable to have someone collect from Tynecastle, but pretty inconvenient if they need ID etc rather than just the order confirmation How can you have 165 points when you live abroad? Just wondering mate 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have booked an airport transfer - Riga Airport to Wellton Centrum Hotel and have 2 spaces in it, it cost €25 but happy to do it for €5pp as appreciate you would have to get from our hotel to yours on the Tuesday night.

Albion Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 If Hearts have shown anything this year, it’s that they’re really not very good at organising ticket sales. Embarrassing that RFS are having to reassure our fans that there will be enough tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 33 minutes ago, We_are_the_Hearts said: Hearts have emailed me to say they will be dropping the points each day If this is the case, both clubs aren’t going to be able to gauge how many fans are travelling/needing tickets for however many days they prolong this shambles. Not great for fans just wanting that reassurance asap either. Should be similar to Zurich - high points threshold, next day ST holders, next day general sale. They have the space, just let us in!

periodictabledancer Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 1 hour ago, We_are_the_Hearts said: Hearts have emailed me to say they will be dropping the points each day How very considerate. Normally I'm all in favour of big points holders getting priority but there's no need in this case. Just put them on general sale and then request more when those sell out. Absolutely zero thought put into this and all it does is cause unnecessary delays while they fart about dropping the points required.

I’d be happy to collect and bring over and meet you on the day of the game over there if all else fails 👍🏻 Thanks - if I can’t sort things out I’ll be in touch regarding your kind offer! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they could email out and get a judgement of the level of interest in the trip before setting a threshold. Also a timeliness for the threshold dropping.... if unsold after day 1, day 2 will be 120 points and so on Feels like they are European ‘virgins’! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say this with all due respect to your post but literally NO HEARTS FANS SHOULD BE ON TENTERHOOKS!!!!!!!! Anyone who travels to Riga, with or without a ticket will get into the ground regardless of what is being said just now. They will have thousands of empty seats, the atmosphere will be one of fun, there will be hardly any Popo or security and once the Hearts fans are there Riga will sort things out if necessary. The 419 and 500 tickets are a nonsense. They will have plenty more if required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 919 tickets will surely be enough going by numbers in Zurich. Admittedly Riga appears a lot cheaper to get to, especially if you’re willing to do a train or a bus from Estonia or Lithuania but there’s no way flights would still be £25-£35 return to these places if Hearts were taking 1,000+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did this for me at the Zurich game as I live in Dublin. Worked well and TO as always were super helpful. They don’t advertise too widely as last thing the one poor person at the pickup point needs is 1000 people descending on them an hour before kickoff to pick up tickets!

DETTY29 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 In typical Hearts / Ticketmaster fashion, while Hearts web says it will be collection only, Ticketmaster appears to suggest it's postal only option.

It's a proper race against the clock to get a ticket selected and paid for!
