But the equivalent seats are the same price home or away, and some seats are more for home fans, it's not trying to just rip off non-Hearts fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Very few clubs have as many ST holders as us, the club obviously feel they can't offer PPV at a much cheaper rate than it is for the 11,000 fans who've forked out upfront. I don't agree with it, I paid my ST and knew the situation. I would rather it was £12 or so for a PPV stream as we'd be likely to make more money that way rather than price out that market. Thing is, not everyone would be the same, people will complain regardless and from Hearts point of view, pissing off your own fan base is probably more of an issue than annoying away fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home fans have the option of buying cheaper tickets in another category, away fans are forced to buy them in the £29 category.

I recollect that Hearts fans have been more than generous in supporting their club, isn't there some sort of Foundation where many fans make monthly donations over and above their ST and team product purchases, seems like Hearts management think they have an endless money tree when in comes to the fans, to my mind that same management should have offered Season Ticket prices in line with other Championship clubs as a way of apology for letting the fans down by having a major Scottish club relegated. Perversely the opposite seems to be the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Ridiculous price for a stream and if people would really come out and complain that they've paid £400 for a season ticket why have they bought a ST during an international pandemic.Also £400 for a championship ST is scandalous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "equivalent seats". so the other half of the Roseburn, or the upper section of the Gorgie end. what other away grounds allow you your choice of area? Not many I can think of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perversely the opposite seems to be the case. At the time ST's went on sale it hadn't been decided what league we'd be in, the decision to end the season PPG hadn't been taken. We like every club had to plan so it could well have been for the Premiership, and our ST's had a reduction as well. £450 is clearly steep but it's a platinum ST, you could buy an adult one from £285 as well. I don't think Hearts fans have been milked more than many other fans supporters, and those that bought the platinum tickets are getting money back from the club via vouchers which can be used for the club shop or hospitality and anyone who is unhappy with the ST arrangement was entitled to a refund. And again, I am not defending the PPV price, it's far too high. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Not for the first time, our pricing is a bit off the mark but it’s somewhat dictated by the season ticket pricing and the total f**k up we made of that. Loyalty comes at a price I guess. As for the game, hopefully Gino is fit to start and he’ll probably go in for Roberts and we’ll stick with BCW (Bald Craig Wighton) out wide and the rest the same as we started v Hibs. Probably too early for Naismith and Haring to start, but we looked a far better side with them playing, unsurprisingly.Tight game against Caley a month ago but they got pumped off the pars and had an even looking (by the stats) 1-1 with Ayr who haven’t started great. Convincing win v Arbroath but I think Arbroath’s season will be determined by their home results rather than away. All in all, Robbo to keep the juggernaut rolling on to league dominance and a home win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodec Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Going to need to be a big performance from Caley if we’re going to get anything tomorrow. Need Todorov and Mackay to be clinical when they get any chances in front of goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I'll go back to 2002 and the Cup game at Tynecastle and we were in the 1st Div and Bagan's dazzling run beating Fuller and Gronlund to finish the game with a cracker of a 3rd goal, heady days but will we see that again, who knows but I would be happy with a draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
