makateer Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'm below the 15 point threshold as well annoyingly. I don't know if it's that high to stop Celtic fans buying in the home end, or to reward people who attend more games than me which I have no problem with. Seems a bit high for this fixture though. If it is the former, I wish they would look at other factors to prove the buyer is a genuine Hearts fan. I'm an ex-ST holder, a shareholder and have been a member of FoH since it began.

Hannibal Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 there should be a mechanism where if you have been a pledging for a certain period of time you can bypass the 15 point threshold for games like the Celtic and Rangers home games.

Have heard a few like this. I think the club have to be very careful about giving any sort of reward - however modest - that is akin to a financial benefit for pledging to FOH. I do agree that the 15 point threshold seems quite high, but equally I can see the rationale. Perhaps they could come up with some exemptions such as ex-season ticket holders and/or fans that have attended at least 3 semi-finals. It just doesn't seem right that there are empty seats at a match when there are genuine Hearts fans who would like to purchase tickets.

It's hardly a financial benefit if you have to pay full whack for a ticket just like everyone else. I believe the recent upgrade to the FOH web platform has integrated with the club's system so identifying pledgers should be easy enough for the TO. .

I'm hugely supportive of trying to prevent OF fans from buying tickets for the home sections at Tynecastle but rather than simply having a 15 loyalty points threshold, if we could also use FoH pledging for say a year to the eligibility criteria, this would be a great help to FoH supporters who can only attend occasionally.

Whether that's lowering the points or looking at a buyers previous purchasing history. It must all be there for them to see, so not sure how difficult it is to filter for them.

makateer Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 It's one of those fixtures that some people will be on the fence about given the result we had on Saturday, and payday for a lot of people to come in the next few days. I just wish Hearts would be forward about saying we will require 15+ points until this date, then any tickets left will be available to 5+ points from 28th February, or something like that. At least people under 15 would know there may be a chance to buy from a specific date and time. Same goes for Hibs tickets as well. I'm all for Roseburn ST holders getting first shot, but give them a week to buy and if there are still tickets available in the last day or two before the game it needs to be opened up to more people.

The 15 LP limit isn’t to prioritise fans getting tickets. It’s to stop Celtic fans getting in the Hearts end. So I doubt it will be lowered to 5 points at any time. I agree there has to be a better way of doing it though - stopping Hearts fans from going who have attended 10/12 games in the last couple of seasons seems crazy.

I get why they're doing it, but surely we just need t obe reasonable here. I think we've played Celtic 4 times in this LP period at Tynecastle. Assume a Celtic fan has bought a home ticket for each of those, there's 4 points. Then assume a madly dedicated Celtic fan has been prepared to get two more tickets, or a two-point away. There's six. So, you could make a case for 7 or 8 points being a reasonable compromise. 15 is just excessive and will keep seats unsold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Loblaw Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) It can't be hard for Hearts to do a search on their database. Cross reference users who've attended say 3 non Celtic games and allow them to purchase. Locking out our own fans is stupid.

Stanley_ Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I think they could easily make it something like 5 points. 15 is very high considering it is only 1 point per home game and we are selling to non-season ticket holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, 2 x 10 tables is a fair number to handle if anything kicks off. 1st signs of making home fans feel unsettled then it should be oot the door forthwith. At the last home game v them there was one of 'em stoatin' aboot the main stand concourse at ½ time, jacket open, manky hooped top as clear as a Great Dane's 💩 on a polished floor.
