If carlsberg did rivals... Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Is this game likely to be moved for TV or have the broadcasters already announced their January games?

PapaShango Posted January 5 Posted January 5 This will sell out, another massive game and they seem to be coming round even quicker now. If we can pick up 6 points in the next 2 games we will be a minimum 6 clear of them by the time this comes around.

selkirkhmfc1874 Posted January 6 Posted January 6 When you see the amount of empty seats for games this season it's pretty obvious season ticket sales weren't as strong this season but come the summer I'd imagine season ticket sales will be at capacity again

The empty seats are because frankly Season Tickets for some people (not all) are cheap and therefore people buy them regardless of whether they can attend every match or otherwise. They secure, in all likelihood 2 derby tickets and all the other matches for the same price as 2 or 3 hospitality visits. Now the Ticket Exchange is being utilised by some to assist those without Season Tickets, and get some refund, but by no means by everyone who can't attend. The solution there is obvious, they start to monitor who is using their ST week in week out which should be easy enough these days. If people are just buying them for occasional use then moving forward, as demand increases, they should lose the option of renewing. Simple as that.

Brentford started an "Every Seat Counts" campaign not that long ago for this sort of thing: 2025/26 Every Seat Counts | Brentford FC If a season ticket holder fails to use their ticket for a league match, they will get a yellow card. If they get four yellow cards by the next renewal date in 2026, they will lose the automatic right to renew their season ticket for 2026/27. To avoid getting a yellow card, each season ticket holder must 'use' their ticket by performing one of the following actions: Attend the match and have their season ticket card scanned. Transfer their ticket to another Brentford supporter, and the recipient scans the ticket. List their ticket on the ticket exchange prior to 2pm on the day before the game. Sell their ticket on the ticket exchange, even if they miss the 2pm deadline.

I've got my daughter on it and we didn't get the chance to buy a season ticket so I assume that none were available or those that were got snapped up.

I know it's been closed for some time due to so many being on it. The wait may well be a good few seasons!

Seems like a sensible solution that shouldn't irk existing season ticket holders and will lead to more bums on seats. If it's logistically and technically easy enough to implement then it's a no brainer imo.

Interestingly, that policy likely won't release many seats for new season ticket holders but will more drive extra revenue for the club via ticket exchange.

This scheme would help with this. Agree with your sentiment though, reality is that if you know in advance that you want a ticket then it's still pretty easy for every game except the derby.

I would add that we need new fans to be able to come along. Youngsters, folk moving to Edinburgh, etc all need ways of coming along and can’t / won’t always buy weeks in advance. We’ve got to be careful we don’t turn supporting HMFC into a closed shop as we, hopefully, become more successful.

My friend put his seat on the exchange for the last Celtic match and I had endure sitting next to a sectarian bigot more interested in shouting and gesticulating at the away fans than watching the match.

Jingle Bells Posted January 10 Posted January 10 (edited) How many seats are currently kept aside for Hospitality, which could be sold as STs instead? I would also cut the de facto owners Directors Box by at least 50%.to let a few more in. that way. Come the revolution brothers. Edited January 10 by Jingle Bells

That's standard of any football team really. Infact, I'd argue that, even when we haven't been doing great, we still have amazing attendances. Not sure exactly, but has the season ticket waiting list not been on the go for 4 years or so now? We've definitely not been on form all that time, yet, each of those new seasons has seen most renew, with only a minority getting in off the waiting list.

I was having a go back at the number of posts that have been appearing where existing ST Holders are being slagged off. There is still over a 1000 walk up tickets available for each game for those who want to attend, bar H1B5. The Club needs to do something about increasing our capacity though.

Im fairly certain that the board would be at least in discussions about options re increased capacity, even before the Bloom investment. I guess the biggest challenge is weighing up the cost versus the actual benefit. Say it was going to cost £20 million to increase Tynie to 25k (I've no idea if that's even possible of even a realistic figure, I'm just using it as an example) they'd be looking for full capacity to recoup as much of that as possible. If say, we hit a really bad spell though, maintaining season tickets of 13-15k, but walk ups drop off a cliff, it leaves 10k empty seats and, more importantly, no extra revenue. I know some will see this as a negative view (and it's not necessarily my own one) I'm just trying to understand how it may be looked at from a cost/business decision.

I think revenue will increase significantly with better runs in European football and player sales so we might be able to fund extra capacity that way, if the Planning Department allow, Ironically, where we are losing out at the moment is income from away supporters. I agree that its a balancing act in that there wont be a need to buy a ST if capacity is set too high and the punter can pick and choose , which games to come to, I think 25k to 30k ,with a flexible away section, is about right as that will give the Club some room for future growth. I wouldn't mind the Club giving out free tickets to youngsters to fill the Stadium if that's building our support for the future.

Of course there are numerous reasons for people missing games throughout the season, but 'it's my seat and nobody else is sitting in it' isn't one Depends on how many seats are being held back to accommodate it when there is a high demand for STs I am a long standing St Holder who attends each home game however I feel that once Folk have been good enough to put up their money to buy one thereby supporting the Club, others then have no right to decide how said ST is being used. If you want to dictate how other people choose to spend their money or use the product, which has already been paid for, then this is a very arrogant attitude to take. I suspect that some unused STs are owned by people who live abroad etc but still wish to support the Club. There are lots of poor visibility seats and I suspect that folk also migrate from their ST seat to N or G etc and double up there for a better view. A consolatory email by the Club to actual under used ST seat holders advising them of Ticket Exchange etc would be the best approach, imho. Not every Supporter is aware of JKB.

It's just a matter of education. via the Club if the Club feels it's an issue. I don't think its a case of people being selfish as everyone who buys at ST wants to support the Club in the best way that they can. Everyone knows someone who can use a Computer so the Club could issue easy to use instructions, along with said email for the reasons for doing so, that they can follow them. I've never used it preferring to lend my ST to lapsed Hearts Supporters in our area to get them interested in going back to games again, as I have to work the odd weekend. Having said that the odd sicky has been known to have been thrown if it's a big game that I'll miss. Work know I'm at it though!!
