Fozzyonthefence Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 16 minutes ago, Sir PH said: We're talking a handful of them manage to do this. And it's probably Hearts fans handing their tickets over in some cases. Not sure how many it is but yes, I suspect it is more likely to be Hearts ST holders giving them their ST card. But if it’s to their mates then maybe a good chance they’re buying their second ticket for the semi for these same Hun mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottg71 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 So some of the biggest mouthpieces on here have less than 5 loyalty points. Who’d have thunk it🤣 I have 3 people in my network not going who have way more than 20 points so that’s technically 6 tickets plus another in my name and my lassie’s so 8 ticket's going a begging. If they don’t drop the threshold I may offer to get some for those struggling if they’re good guys 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bean counter Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 All this talk trying to organise how we "should" sell the semi final tickets The Club know how many tickets they have got and want to sell The Club know how many season ticket holders we have The Club know how many are on the season ticket waiting list The Club know how many fans have over 20, 10 and 5 loyalty points The Club will know on a daily basis how many we have sold The Club will know how many from the first four points have purchased so they know the size of the remaining potential sales I'll trust them to decide if\when to drop the loyalty points level and to what to drop it to I'll also trust them to distribute any potential unsold tickets as they see best.

We had more expectation of beating them back than I suppose plus we were the 2nd best team in the league that season. Was gutted at that game, 😕. had a severe hangover as well.

Jambo-Fox Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 4 hours ago, Percival King said: 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). Last time I looked Hampden was only 45 miles from Tynecastle … not exactly an away game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you're point is but 45 miles isn't exactly a home game. Being pragmatic about it, maybe the easier it is for floating supporters to get to/from the game then maybe the more likely they are to go. The reality is we have folk in our support who will go anywhere at any time on any day to watch Hearts through to folk who'll just go to cup finals and if some of those folk can be persuaded to go to the semi, that would be a good thing.

Don’t agree with your last point. At those ticket prices nobody will be getting more from me as a donation. Personally think if the club went all out to get 50/50, got it and the part-timers let the club down then it’s a lesson learnt the hard way. If you’ve got too much spare cash, feel free to be fleeced time and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank Christ, because I’m not from Edinburgh 👍 Look, if you’ve really HAD TO WORK every Hearts match for the past three years (but you’re available for semis and finals esp v Rangers weirdly) I can get you a couple of tickets from one of the many ST holders I do know that can’t go. Would anyone in that category (GENUINELY supports Hearts and has a real interest in actually attending but doesn’t know a single ST holder) please make themselves known?

Its not for me thought no patience for that. I think this one is going to be very difficult to accurately dot-count. On the face of it, yes, it looks as if 14,000 or 15,000 have been sold, but it appears likely that some sections have seats that have been blocked out. They may have been sold or are allocated as seating for hospitality packages, or something else that the club has in mind. I would guess Hearts has sold a little over 14,000 tickets, but I also think the actual figure could be as much as 1,000 up or down. The club obviously has a plan, starting with a fairly high points threshold - higher than they set for home games v Rangers. Time will telll if their strategy pays off.
