yes hence why i posted that about another club that is due monies to Hearts.

cashflow problems will be at all clubs, some will have a better running of their monies than others but all will have concerns during the course of the season.

So it has absoultley nothing to do with the worry that Vlad won't pay up and its because of cash flow problems at Hibs & Celtic and every other club (that will probably do the same thing)?

You really couldn't make this pish up...

It seems like its just a bit of a publicity stunt, along with the moaning about us to the council. When the going gets tough, try and make a much bigger club than you look shite

Aye, thats it!

Damn, our plan is foiled!

if you read my full post you will see i said Hearts have major cashflow problems, and that hearts never gave assurances that the ticket money would be transferred on said time, so i can see why both clubs have decided to sell tickets direct to us fans, i like others wished there was a way for some hearts fans to collect the tickets and not pay the £6 delivery charge, some Hearts fans stay close to easter Road and can easily walk into their ticket office and collect tickets if that was their choice

would not say 100% solid but has been said by a few folk i know have a good re pore with staff at Tynecastle and are less likely to say a pile of manure like the OP

It sounds plausible but the question would be what were the terms. After all there is already a contract in place and a guarantee so what additional obligations were they demanding above and beyond the normal ones that Hibs faced in August.and Hearts faced in April

thats one i am unable to answer, have Hibs decided to use the poor finance card on Hearts to ensure they get the money straight away and a good few (7ish) weeks earlier than if hearts sold the tickets, like how the tash used Hearts finances to deflect away from him during their agm, the moaning about Hearts having talks with the council about a joint venture on building a stadium (Hearts have already paid £1.5m in fees for these reports) and the sharp fall in attendance from the Hibs support, it also helps build a bit of edge between the fans (like that is ever needed anyway)

Hibs have cash-flow problems haha aye ok then laddies.

The Additional Charge is down to Hibs insisting on sending these out by Special Delivery rather than allowing them to be collected so it very much has something to do with Hibs.

If Hearts stop paying outgoings then the debt is guarunteed by the league so that's of limited relevance. There is no risk of nonpayment but there is of late payment.

The idea that Petrie is doing this to get more money is weak but the idea that he's doing this to get the money faster is being understated. He's got my Credit Card details already and it's not even December yet. if the sale was done normally (assuming Hearts paid within 10 working days) wouldn't have that cash for another 7 weeks.

Under cover of avoiding a risk of getting paid a couple of weeks late he's grabbed the cash 7 weeks early. Given Hearts' much publicised problems the finance director at Tynecastle may well wish they'd thought of it first.

Realising this also lets us see our club's treatment of Old Firm Tickets differently as well

The only legitimate complaint Hearts can have IMO is the issue of distributing tickets. When the only option for delivery is that extortionate (not from us mind) there really should be an option to collect. Obviously not in the lead up to the game, that would be an absolute nightmare. However if people are buying them now then there's no reason why collection from ER shouldn't be allowed.
Maybe the problem with that is for that to work the away would have to be sold out weeks in advance? Can't have Jambo's collecting ay ER last minute for security reasons, and by late Dec it may be too late to post tickets?

Either way a better arrangement should be in place as that price is harsh.

The issue of the liabilities being insured is irrelevant. In any business whatsoever you're not going to deal with a company who make it a point of policy to delay payment. Doesn't matter about cashflow, proper clubs have budgets, in which chasing up other businesses or the league for weeks to get monies owed doesn't come in to it.

Its a shite situation but Hearts have the people running their own club to blame unfortunately. On a side note £28 base price is absolutely fucking ridiculous but that's not a Hibs specific problem, and perhaps a discussion for another day

[pozbaird]

It should be a discussion for right now. I paid £25 to watch Newcastle at home against quality opposition. The SPL is having a laugh.

[Hearts Daft]

Hibs, relegation strugglers charging £34 to get to their game. Laughable.

I agree... we're all having a right good laugh about it.

GIRFUY!

[madwullie]

Am I missing something here? It looks like 28 notes for a ticket (pricey) with 6 notes delivery the vast majority of which goes to the royal mail.

On what planet does that mean hibs are "charging 34 notes to get to their game"?

Only in their world. A world where everybody has it in for them and they can do nothing wrong themselves.

Your obsession with Hibs knows no bounds. If Hearts payed their bills on time there would be no need for them to be sold by Hibs direct. The price is a little steeper because they are sent Special Delivery Royal Mail. If they were sent normally through the post you would no doubt be tugging yourself into a frenzy that Hibs were using the cheap option and risking the possibility that they go missing.

Id hardly call him obsessed for posting about a game involving hibs and Hearts.

[woolf]

Why not just ask hearts to pay up front for the tickets.I am sure thats what the old firm do.I f we couldnt pay up front then Hibs could have done what they are doing now although its no wonder some clubs are struggling to fill their stadiums when they are fleecing the punters to watch pish.

e,This could end up costing Hibs a small fortune when Hearts fans decide that they can stick their tickets up their arse.

If you want to go to the game, pay the money, if you dont, then dont pay the money.

Simple really.

think you'll find most of us are only a bit peeved with the option not to pick tickets up (obvious would not be allowed on match day) to avert the £6 fee for recorded post.

think the OP is the only one who is spitting feathers about it being £34 for a ticket...

They decided to not ler us collect so they're responsible for the six quid extra.

HTH.

Be "peeved" with your on club then, its entirely their fault.

Why should we let you's collect at OUR ticket office. Have we ever been aloud to collect at your clubs ticket office?

At least we can justify the additonal costs. What about when Hearts fleesed us out of £33 per ticket (That was £33 going directly into the pocket of your club). Their were no additional costs, the tickets themselves were £33 FFS.

Quit your whinging. Nobody is going to miss your plesant company if you don't go.

I think it's highly likely that this was discussed between the clubs.

Complain to your shambles of a club for not giving assurances after recent farces like not paying staff that ticket money would be handed back to Hibernian then.

There has been no mention, I repeat no mention on the hearts website or through any other media outlet that they are upset with our clubs decision so let's face facts, Romanov no hearts fc give a shit that you have to pay £6 postage.
