The Old Tolbooth Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Is there the usual complete rip off admin fee charge on top of season ticket prices again this season? I'm thinking of renewing today if I get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Diggler Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Considering what we were served up last season, Those are terrific numbers. I fully expect the 'I don't believe a word of it, The T.O are obviously rounding up the figures, the real figure will be somewhere nearer 9k' brigade to arrive just shortly.

Cliffundo Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Im happy with the appointment of shabba and will be getting my two today Im all for one last effort and giving Vlad his ultimate final hooray. If this season turns out like last with the stories of intererence and non triers...then this will be the last for me ans the last for most people I know. Right now though, im up for another run at the league and cup. (aslong as we manage to get a few decent signing in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1998 Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 If VR brings in a few exciting new players-(Hopefully creative Midfielder and couple of strikers)-Watch that figure jump again-maybe close to last years season ticket total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Aye, ?3.50. Cheers for that Boo, I really don't see why anyone should have to pay that if they go into the office, pay the cash, and then take the ticket away. I fail to see what admin work they are actually doing 10,000 ST renewals x ?3.50 = ?35,000 for fekk all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Still 3 weeks to go, we could easily shift another couple of thousand:) yeah they could ,but wouldnt say it would be easy to shift another 2000 st. I expect around 11,500 max by the time the season starts ,which would not be to bad given last season drop off and a lot of people having less cash in hand due to the increase in cost of living.

No doubt, like last year, the EEN will have a story on Hearts and Hibs season ticket sales smashing through the 10,000 barrier. With a small sentence at the end saying that Hibs have sold 8000, but expect to have 10,000 by season kick-off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drylaw Hearts Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Considering what we were served up last season, Those are terrific numbers. I agree.

I am not sure of the significance of next Saturday Colin, but the online booking receipt has a section highlighted indicating that is the date you must collect your ST book by (from The Ticket Centre). When I booked it online I just assumed they would fire it into an envelope and stick it in the post. I was actually thinking of nipping across today to pick it up, but it is p i s s i n g down, and a morning/afternoon sitting in front of the box watching the golf is looking much more appealing at the moment.

Paws (FTH) Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I booked and paid for my ST online back in April, I have since been to pick it up, but if you don't by July 26th, they will be posted out to you. As for admin charges-they really pi$$ me off too. If Tesco added ?3.50 to my bill when I bought stuff from them, I'd say GTF and go elsewhere. Problem is with STs we don't have a choice, if you want one you have to buy it via HMFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy the Jambo Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 The ?3.50 booking fee is a fecking rip off .I went yesterday to buy a season ticket and had ?300 cash with me when the woman at the desk asked me if i wanted cup top up on my ticket i said yes .She told me the total sum was ?308.50 when i asked what the extra money was for she said ?30 for the top ups and ?3.50 booking fee she had to take the extra of my card . I remember for years we used to get into EVERY game at Tynecastle with your ST including reserve games . It was pieman who started this top up rip off but the mad one who started the booking fee farce . I think the Federation if there is still such a thing should start kicking up a fuss about this ?3.50 booking fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 As stated some time ago, I won't be in a position to buy a season ticket now. Had VR delivered much earlier I could have put the cash away but not now unfortunately. I had hoped that something was going to happen giving me some spare cash to buy one but I don't think that will happen now. However, now we have a manager, I will return to attending games and will definitely (assuming we have a manager or are at least being run like a football club then) get one next year.

CJGJ Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 The ?3.50 is nothing to do with Vlad, or even to do with Hearts. It's a charge levied by ticketmaster for each transaction using their system. What the h.... have they (ticketmaster) got to do with someone paying cash at the ticket office -- this is an organised rip off -- you pay cash and they want a fee -- i could just about understand if you used a credit card etc but cash !! I have written to them and stated that I am willing to buy another season ticket for a relative but will not pay the fee -- ?300 cash or nothing -- you decide -- you can get a discount at the vast majority of shops etc and we want to charge people more for the 'pleasure' of buying a ticket -- for a 'product' that may turn out to be the same s... as last year.

Dirk Diggler Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 It's ?3.50 ffs. If it's that much of an issue, I'd suggest paying ?250 - ?500 for a season ticket at Tynecastle wasn't a wise move. We all know that it exists, It did last year, and the year before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 After reading this article think I'll be keeping my wad in my pocket. Despite them not winning away from home they only actually lost one away from home and that was to Nigeria 1-0. It was also the only game they lost in the group. On a more positive note. Obua scored 5 goals in the group and got a hat trick in one game! As someone else posted. Sounds extremely like sour grapes. One minute we're being told by the press from Uganda that he had a fantastic relationship with everyone including the head of the federation yet somehow the observer has found quotes this guys meant to have made!

bilstonjambo Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 i renewed yesterday bought my ticket and my brothers, i really dont know why, i regretted it as soon as i handed the cash over, i just couldnt help myself, i suppose HMFC is a way of life and i cant give up the habit.
