Cairneyhill Jambo Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Heart of Midlothian is delighted to give the following update to supporters with regards to ticket allocations for the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup semi-final. The Jambos will meet Rangers at Hampden on Sunday, 21st April at 3pm with the game being shown live on Viaplay. Yesterday, the club put forward a proposal to secure an equal share of tickets, guaranteeing Hearts supporters the opportunity to purchase seats in Hampden’s North Stand. We had to make an extremely strong case for our argument, given the size of our opponents’ fanbase and historic semi-final ticket sales. We are, therefore, extremely pleased to confirm that our proposition was accepted, and both Hearts and Rangers will be given an initial 21k allocation of tickets to sell to our respective supporters. We would like to thank the Scottish FA for their assistance in this process. This gives us the best opportunity to have Steven Naismith and our players walk out onto the Hampden pitch to a sea of maroon, spread out equally and fairly across the national stadium. The door has now been opened for as many Hearts fans as possible to attend and, hopefully, have a special day out. One condition of this agreement is that the club covers the cost of any unsold tickets from our allocation so it is in all of our interests to sell out and give the team the level of backing that Hearts fans are famous for. Ticket prices are as follows: South Stand Lower Section I - Adults £40 / Over 65 / U-16 £20 South Stand Upper Section H - Adults £40 / Over 65 / U-16 £20 North Stand Section D - Adults £40 / Over 65 / U-16 £20 East Stand Sections F & G – Adults £30 / Over 65 / U-16 £15 North Stand Wheelchair Users - Adults £22 / Over 65 / U-16 £12 South Stand Wheelchair Users - Adults £17 / Over 65 / U-16 £10 East Stand Wheelchair Users - Adults £12 / Over 65 / U-16 £10 On sale dates, criteria and hospitality details will be announced in due course.

Followed by the same for supporters with 5+ loyalty points. Then one ticket for anyone with a purchase history! Spot on. We're going to struggle to sell 22/23,000 tickets anyway so doing as you've described above might encourage season ticket holders to take a mate or their partner along and boost sales. Doing the way we usually do discourages that as you're not going to then buy a ticket in the general sale to sit on your Todd. Hopefully the club are thinking of things along these lines.

Gorgie_Rules Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) The club has done their bit, now up to the fans to sell as many as poss. A generous loyalty point threshold/ST holders being able to buy 2 would help. Can’t see it to be honest. Reality is alot of fans aren’t interested when we play the Old Firm due to the likelihood of getting beat. Hopefully it‘s viewed differently this time by the support with us having as good a chance of beating them as we have had for a good few years.

basel04 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The only criticism I have against the club this year is the pretty mental way they sell tickets for games against the old firm. 15 loyalty points threshold at Tynecastle and despite us having about 2000 tickets unsold for the league cup semi not putting the tickets on general sale. Fair enough for arguing the cause but surely based on the history they’ll not blow it by making it overly difficult to purchase a ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher75 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Absolutely brilliant getting half the North Stand. Wonder if they will sell from D1 or D5.

Rocky jamboa Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Well done securing a 50/50 split. We need to be doing all we can now to secure as many sales as possible, such as releasing tickets to everyone with 5 points plus from the outset, plus the option to buy 2 tickets each, discounted buses from Tynie, guaranteed ticket if we make the final etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
