1953 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 1 hour ago, Baxfee said: Hearts should just release all sections now. People have preferences so would simply let those holding off buy now. A couple of days delay before dropping the points at least gives the ticket office staff time to allocate and post out the first lot of tickets before the next rush.

Shaggy2 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 26 minutes ago, Sir PH said: Why is the figure of 5 loyalty points being banded about? Why not 4 points? Possibly suggested by those on 5 loyalty points who can still make use of the one kids ticket they bought for Ross County last season, or the £5 ticket away to Basaksehir. If anything, should be as many as required rather than just two, to someone on 20+ and trust them to hand to bona fide Hearts supporters. If you want to go to a semi and you don’t know a Hearts ST holder who will help you out, I suspect you’re a Rangers sympathiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in that case there will potentially be thousands of empty seats and it will cost Hearts a lot of money, and also see our next semi allocation cut to about 17k. As for your usual smart arse comment regarding cup finals. Not everybody can afford season tickets or make a lot of home games due to work, family and other reasons. But you probably know that.

Luckies1874 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Be some what strange if they drop the LP threshold as low as 5 points when we have seen them happy to leave hundreds of empty seats at Tynecastle and refuse to drop the LP's below 15 pts for games against the Old Firm! By the way this is not me saying they shouldn't do it just that it would be a weird stance to take given the alleged reasons for having that policy. I'm hoping the club have some creative ideas as how they are going to shift another 6-7000 tickets. Frankly they should be announcing that anyone who buys a semi ticket gets first dibs on the final or some additional perk next season as right now it looks like they have badly miscalculated the appetite for this match. As well as potentially dropping the LP's they should just allow those with 20+ to buy more. Edited March 29 by Luckies1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's too much hassle for the club to organise but putting on buses from Tynecastle might appeal to folk. The club have done that on and off down the years and did that for the semi in 2012. I assume there are folk who might be put off by the hassle of making their own way through but a bus directly to Hampden might make a difference. Or maybe everyone attending could get a free "signed" t-shirt like we were given for another semi (might have been the infamous 20 seconds silence for the Pope semi).

Swanny17 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 If we don’t look like selling out in the week of the game, I’d genuinely have no issue with Hearts giving all the remaining tickets to Big Hearts and local schools.

Got to imagine that around 80-90% of ST holders have bought already, therefore we really need the 7k on the waiting list to step up here. I was quite hopeful we'd sell out after the first day sales, but looks like the brakes have slammed on a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that factors into many peoples thoughts at all. Out with those feeling the financial pinch by far and away (and it isn't close) the reason for people not bothering is the fact we have never beaten Rangers at Hampden in our history and twice in the last 2 years have gone their and been routinely pumped. Yes, it took till ET in the Cup Final before we went behind but Neilson's side could still be playing now and not have scored and we never laid a glove on them. The semi performance in November was perhaps even worse. Add in that we lost 5-0 in Glasgow to them recently and some feel we haven't a prayer and have been there and done that. My opinion is that it has to happen sometime and you only need look at the 2012 semi v the other cheek, when nobody gave us a hope, to see what can happen. I'd be too scared to miss it when it does not to go but it's our chance of success being minimal which is putting people off. Hopefully Naismith will have us ready this time.
