Gorgie_Rules Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Have the club announced when the points threshold will be lowered? Needs to be asap looking at sales. Appreciate the need to lock out huns with having it not too low but need to consider any fans who have yet to build up a decent number of points/anyone who wants to bring mates along that can be potential future fans.

There are still well over 2 weeks until the game, if the points come down then I don't think it will be before next week. Most Hearts fans that are intending to go will have got their tickets already, not many that are on less than 20 points won't have someone who can get them a ticket.

The difference between us and the rest of Scottish football (at this point) is that we can underwrite the cost of taking a 50/50 allocation (not always the case). There’s no way the SFA or the SPFL can NOT allow us to take up a 50/50 allocation under those circumstances. As long as we can guarantee to underwrite the tickets they really have no option but to agree to it. They've got plenty option! If we have a few thousand empty seats in our end, there's no way they're going to give us a 50/50 split for future semis. Whether we've covered the financial cost would be immaterial.

I think it's true that a lot on less will have used others to get them tickets but I think there may also be a few who are under 20 waiting for a lower phase so they can get the LP's themselves. End of the day if you're under 20 you're probably looking you get points where you can in the event of a possible final. Not saying huge numbers but definitely a few you'd think.

Yeah they want a show piece game at the national stadium to be sold out. If this was Hibs we were playing it would be sold out already, its pretty obvious a lot in our support don't fancy games against the OF for numerous reasons. I know we haven't ever beaten them at Hampden but going to the 2012 semi final I didn't think we had a chance, its probably up there as one of the best games I've attended out with winning finals. This could be exactly the same and I would be gutted to miss out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon the thinking is that maybe some 'gers will get through the net for this, given there's thousands of seats, but at Tynie, there's never many empty seats, so there should be Hearts Fans with 15 LPs They do know how many points everyone has, after all 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA If going on your own, even if there are two of you as adults I would do that and try and grab singles in D1 to D3 or high in the South Stand I think it is I so grab two there or again singles if not any doubles available. You will have pre and post game with yer mate fur the banter. If going with a young one then probably try higher up in any of the G sections I guess but that would be my last choice.

Fans need to back the club on this and do the right thing. Hmmm not sure I agree with all that. I think the first stage was reasonable and we will now see how many more go with the LP's dropped from 20 to 5. There is still the opportunity for further stages too. Re calling "the club out the club about wanting to win and challenge", I would suggest that some who have not bought tickets would argue that our failure to even compete in this fixture over many years including several times very recently has been at the forefront of their decision not to attend. That until such time as we do have a side capable of at least laying a glove on them in Glasgow, why bother?! This wouldn't be my attitude as I'd be too worried that the one time I binned it we would win and witnessing results like the Celtic 2-1 semi, when they come around, is worth all the dire performances.

Tried to explain this on earlier pages but there are some who just don't grasp it and seem to be more intent on trying to justify their own non attendance rather than trying to promote tickets sales .We have 15.5k season ticket holders and 7 thousand on a waiting list.
