diehardJT Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 This is disgusting, I was working until 10pm on friday night then got up saturday morning at 6 for my 7am to 5pm shift and come home to see all these glory hunting *******s have got tickets and its sold out. (I know a lot of u are not but you know what I'm saying here) I cant get a season ticket as I work some weekends but I have racks of hearts loyalty points but any fud was allowed to go online and pretty much get as many tickets as they liked. The stadium will be full of non hearts fans/wives/girlfriends/pals that have never stepped foot in tynie. But I miss out because I wasn't watching for a 12 hour notice for tickets. I'm so pissed off its unbelievable, why hearts decided to sell the tickets in such a rush is beyond me. It was always gonna be a sellout but instead of making it fair for the majority that actually bother to go to the games (like the pish I endured last sunday) they just get the cash in quick. Is nobody else in the same situation? I was hoping to get a full house of hearts fans singing their lungs out and intimidating the feck out of the londoners! What we are going to get instead is a very good atmosphere (on par with a rangers/celtic game) and a lot of wives/girlfriends/parents/inlaws asking "what happened?" everytime they hear a roar. I dont care if this has been posted by hundreds of others but I'm no happy and I am venting.......... oh, and yes I'm very happy for all you "I got my tickets" folk, no seriously I am. Wish I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoJack Horseman Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Plenty of folk in your situation mate, see the Murrayfield thread for the general opinion on it. Season Ticket Holders have a week to buy their seat before they go up for sale. I'd imagine there will be a limited release next week sometime. Try and keep an eye open for that. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Lambretta Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I'm on call 24/7 but I still have a season ticket and try to go to away games.

bighusref Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 You should make your complaints known to the club. Point out your loyalty points and ask how many loyalty points were required for the tickets that were released today. I know the answer is nil, but if I were you I'd want an explanation from Hearts why loyalty points apply in one case but not in another. Oh, and as stated to another Hearts fan that missed out, it isn't sold out. The unallocated tickets were sold out but there will be the odd season ticket holder that will not get a ticket. Not many, but there will be a few. Make sure you are about (or somebody is for you) next Saturday to try to get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky999 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I've got to give credit to my mate "bigladatthebackpost" who got tickets this morning after finishing his night shift and going along, mucho respecto.

Buying a season ticket for the seat to be empty two thirds of the time is just stupid. nightmare scenario for you ,did you not know anyone who could have got tkts for you while you were working ?

Bang on, Neave. Then you get a few gloaters on here showing off about buying 6/8/10 tickets for their bird's or family members that havent made it down the road to the stadium in years. Bitterly dissapointed for you guys, but due to the amount of brass neckers who bought 8 tickets etc.. then there will be lots kicking about on the black market/touts/outside the ground - may have to pay above market value for them though.

Jamhammer Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I'm in the same boat. Don't have an ST cos I'm only off for 2 Saturdays in 5. Surprised they didn't do Season Ticket holders first and give a wee bit of notice before the general sale but there you go. I'm off both Thursdays too. Might get a ticket for down there. May well be on the box but would liked to have been there. Should be 1 ticket per person though. 10 at the office! Bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If loyalty points do not count then fine. Make it 1 per person with a valid purchase history. If there are any left after a week,then 1st come 1st served regardless.

diehardJT Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Just read a bit on the murrayfield thread about pricing. Do you think the daytrippers would pay ?55-?60 each and then buy 10 at the ticket office? Hearts should have cashed in on this glamour tie. It would definetely still sell out and it would weed out the glory hunters aswell. ST holders would be charged the concession price of ?30-35 for their own seats only and the above for additional tickets needed. Damn it why don't I work for hearts!!!

kitster Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Really feel for you and agree it just wasn't right today. I was in the online queue about the same time slashishere was and we said ok whoever gets in first will get us the tickets. He beat me by 2 minutes but of course I owe him a few drinks for it. I can't wait to go and its gutting to know folk were buying 6 or 10 as lets face none of them do that most weeks (if of course they are actually all jambos) I was there Sun and Thurs and I understand how disgruntled many fans must be, as you said lots of loyalty points and no tickets. My dad's an ST holder and if I hear of any of his group not going, I'll get him to buy it so I can give it to someone on here. Poor show Hearts, you let many down today.

amadjambo Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 They certain could have done something like, at Paksi game you get a ticket, buy a season ticket and get a ticket (could have possibly generated much needed funds), or do a 3 or 5 game SPL package so at least those buying would actually have to come back to Tynie and support the team. Can't believe peoe could buy more than 4, would have thought 2 MAX was more than fair, and ONLY if you have purchase history. Feel for those not getting tickets. Hopefully you get 1 when the spares are released next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the basic plans should have already be in place a long time ago I have mine as a ST holder but seems a lot of good fans may miss out while some hibs rangers (with the baggage those two can bring) will be in attendence ,it .

Buffalo Bill Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 It's absolutely shocking if people were able to buy 8 tickets. It should've been 2 tickets MAX for data base customers.
