Luckies1874 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 It is not difficult to do a little due diligence when considering providing someone with a reference number so that they can get a ticket. Whilst I agree with the clubs stance over ensuring none of the unwashed find it easy to get their hands on home end tickets there are ways they could be looking at account history, what games have been attended in previous years, other club expenditure (such as the mentioned Hearts Tv) etc to shift some extra tickets to those going into Tynecastle.

Bull's-eye Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Supporters aren't going because they think we'll get battered, quite probably true as well.

Spot on. There needs to be strict guidelines for online sales but if people are able to prove they are Hearts fans in person at the ticket office, they should be allowed to buy a ticket. Perhaps the club have agreed with the police about the 10 LPs and therefore will not change their stance on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not saying making these decisions is straightforward for the TO but I think a bit of checking here and there could allow them some leeway in who they sell to with any kind of loyalty points total. If someone has only ever bought a ticket for a Hearts v Celtic match for instance then categorically don’t sell them a ticket. If they have been to Hearts b Ross County and Hearts v St Johnstone unlikely to be a Celtic fan in disguise! Not difficult really.

I don’t think anyone is arguing against the club taking sensible precautions in trying to keep the unwashed out our stands but there are ways (fairly straightforward too) to ensure that buyers with a reference number with less than 10pts are a legit Hearts fan. For example 2 of my ‘network’ (the term Hearts use) don’t have 10 loyalty points despite being Hearts fans for 40+ years. Both attended the cup semi and final last year and were in Florence this. A quick look at my purchase history (a supporter with over 100 loyalty points) would show I’ve bought them tickets recently on an order I’ve made. Surely in that kind of instance the ticket office should be given the authority to sell 2 tickets and the £60 that comes with it?! I managed to sort them out through others who had 10 pts but are abroad and can’t make it but it seems daft to be locking out such fans. Equally my 12 year olds account only has 8 points (not a ST holder) so not valid for a ticket - again sorted from elsewhere but a bit silly given any ticket that’s ever been bought on their reference number has been bought by me through my account!!!

It's a pity if genuine Hearts fans can't get a ticket, but games against Celtic are the most toxic and potentially explosive of the season, this one maybe more so given its importance so there is potential for a real problem if we have Celtic fans in amongst us, particularly the sort that don't see any reason to hide that. That is the sort of scenario that can put people of going to a future Hearts v Celtic game, particularly if they take children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4marsbars Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Slightly off-topic, but should members of FoH not get some loyalty points for that alone? Presumably, a small number of members do not get to many matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
