Very different from a fan 7500 miles away spending £25 on an away ticket to gain 3 loyalty points and then watch on Hearts TV! So its no bother harvesting 1 point but not 3? Are you doing this based on some sort of a sliding scale of massive fanness divided by lifelong Hearts fan hyperbole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comedy gold. Both can be managed. What's your solution then ? Bearing in mind that if there is trouble in the Hearts end Hearts will be held responsible ?

Also, I'd have thought that the Disabled section on the concourse between Upper and Lower X will also be affected by anyone standing in Row 8 of lower section. I really hope that the ultra's experiment works but imo it'll be quite a few rows at the front of the upper section and not just the disabled folks that'll have their view affected by people standing in the lower section. I was in the Roseburn for the Dundee Utd game and noticed this when people were standing at half time. My guess is that the front row won't see the bottom half of the goals. Whether that's bad enough to cause concern remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seamus O'Fea and his lass Aoife, both frae Lochee, will have simply splashed out on corporate tickets, so deary me! Joking aside, there seems to be all sorts of consternation as regards keeping Celtic fans at bay, but, as per when we totally went to town purchasing corporates at Fester for that ill-fated 'money-spinner', they will, I'm sure, have snapped up hospitality briefs nae bother. I'm in the camp that reckons us having to be a tad slicker when assessing ticket sales for such matches. In this age of computerisation there surely must be a switched on Uni student who could figure out an algorithm based on previous purchases that would allow genuine Hearts fans to purchase on behalf of family & friends without simply battening down the hatches and turning folks away.

Yes, I too hope they become a fixture, although the club will have to find an appropriate solution to where they're best placed wrt everybody concerned. I'd be shocked if the vast majority of those with current STs in Lower X simply opted for the seats just because they were the only ones available!

Presumably, a small number of members do not get to many matches. This is a good shout. Or as an alternative to handing out loyalty points to FoH members, make the criteria for being able to buy a ticket for a match like this 10 loyalty points or a certain level of FoH membership. Can't be many huge Hearts fans who wouldn't be in either category and should still eliminate the interlopers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's very likely that folks on the ST waiting list who have not been able to garner LPs due to the sell-out scenario will be personally known to ST holders who simply can't make the game for the usual reasons. Something that needs tweaking as it seems to me that we're turning away business and stymying football tourists and future ST holders alike. Exactly this .

Perhaps a way round the specific problems you have brought up would be to ask people purchasing for low or no LPs holders to take responsibility for their guests.

I think a ST holder with a clear significant Hearts history, as many accounts will have, could be trusted to buy an extra ticket or 2 and for it not to be going to a Celtic fan. Equally someone who has a child with single figure loyalty points (I'm one) could surely show the TO that any match they have ever been too has been bought from my 'network'. I'll be able to buy them a ticket for St Mirren at home next week but not for tomorrow?! That's flat out bizarre and costing the club money.

This is not about having an unnecessary dig at the club, it's about putting in place better processes. Just as is the case with the Ticket Exchange (still in it's infancy) and things like the popularity of our hospitality and the thousands who wanted tickets for European away matches the club are having to move quickly given the new (positive) issues they are dealing with. They deserve the opportunity to get these right and improve them for all our support whether people have 150 loyalty points or 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
