scottg71 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 In today's Daily Star Ryan Stevenson says he managed to get 40 tickets for tonights game for family and friends. Seems a bit excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloSergioBentoBrito Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Maybe each player was allocated 20 tickets plus 10 extra for every goal against Paks? LOL but seriously. 40 is a bit much surely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussAsia Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I would imagine that each first team player gets about 5-10 tickets for each game.. Stevenson will have his tickets plus he will have got the tickets from players not using theirs such as Obua, Zaliukas, Novikovas, Kello etc..

Mr Sifter Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 ******* joke. He says they are all for his mates. 40 tickets for boys from Ayrshire who've probably never been to Tynie before and almost definitely not Jambos. He should've kept his mouth shut IMO.

Radioactive Mince Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Wonder if it's the same script for the away game? Definitely something not right with the allocation/points threshold balance.

Stevenson will have his tickets plus he will have got the tickets from players not using theirs such as Obua, Zaliukas, Novikovas, Kello etc.. I think you are right Ryan Stevenson will have taken the comps from players not using their allocation. Gary Locke was renowned for doing this for big games when he was a Hearts player.

RussAsia Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 What is the point in complaining about these tickets.. If you are going to complain then here is something to compain about.. Hearts fans have used a variety of excused for not renewing season tickets/stopping going to Hearts games including reasons such as: I will never go back as long as Romanov is there/Rix is there/we are playing rubbish football/Thompson etc.. They then use that as a good excuse not to go every week.. Now we have a big game they have come out the woodwork and got themselves a ticket.. Either that or they dont have a ticket and complain saying that they used to be a season ticket holder but are not now but they deserve a ticket because they are a huge hearts fan.. They should have just done it at the ticket office that every season ticket holder is entitled to 2 tickets for the game.. they are the ones that put their money into the club no matter the product on the pitch.. Any unsold after that can go to non season ticket holders depending on loyalty points.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any unsold after that can go to non season ticket holders depending on loyalty points. Its a nice idea but unlike some wee teams we have too many season ticket holders for everyone to bring a mate.

I reckon you would be surprised.. quite possibly a group of mates all have season tickets together and dont need the extra tickets.. other than that you could start with platinum then move your way down to bronze.. maybe bronze would only be able to get their own seat depending on how the sales went..

The Treasurer Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hate hearing that.well thats 40 less people singing tonight. Even if they're not Hearts fans I would imagine that, being family or friends of Stevenson then they will be getting right behind him and therefore right behind the team. And as pointed out they can't any quieter than some of the existing ST holders. Speaking of which.... I just hope that they arrive at least 30 minutes before kick off, don't need the toilet and stay in their seats for at least an hour after the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gods a Jambo Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 To be honest, some of the excuses getting trotted out by those who cant get tickets are laughable. I find it amazing that all these people with all these commitments always manage to get time off for the big games. My old man has bought a season ticket for years, and due to his shifts could only make a handful of games, he would sell his ticket on the games he couldnt go. Surprise, surprise, he could never get rid of the games against st mirren etc. People will come out with a million excuse, yet these same excuses never apply to big games. Its funny how they manage to remember their Jambo credentials when tickets are in short supply, yet never appear to bust a gut to get to the "wee" games. If you have a season ticket and follow the club, you deserve your place at these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with what your saying, of course if you have a season ticket you are more entitled to get the big games than someone who doesnt if tickets are in short supply. I dont think anyone would argue that I am one of those people who has probably put more effort travelling up tonight from Newcastle (not a million miles away and I am sure there are people further away than I am travelling up) than I would St Mirren on a Wednesday night. When I am in Edinburgh I will go to the match, not bothered who it is against. If I was to listen to half the majority of the people down here I am aswell chucking my money down the toilet but I genuinely believe that we can do something special and I would love nothing more than walking back into work tomorrow morning with a huge smile on my face!! I dont post that often but people who get wound up for 'part time' fans coming out the woodwork for what is a massive game is just irritating. I dont see myself as a 'part time' fan, just a genuine Hearts fan. I might not give Hearts my money on the gate but the Hearts shop still does alright from me.

sniffer Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I suppose the main issue here is, did the players pay for their own tickets? Probably not! If that's the case, then it's no surprise that the club is ?30m + in debt, if that how it does its business normally. We have people (real fans) queuing up to buy tickets at ?30+ a skull and we appear to be giving them away as freebies. Makes good economic sense, eh?
