If hearts really have the demand then it’s their right to do it. I don’t see why the league should have to step in. By my calculations, if you had a season ticket and attended every single away league game for five seasons you wouldn’t even be half way there. Anyone in that bracket should be given first dibs, you shouldn’t be able to buy your way in through DNA (and I say that as a subscriber). 5x season tickets = 200 Every away league game in last 5 season = approx 140 It absolutely should not be up to clubs to choose to offer negligible or in some cases zero away tickets. A game with no away fans is a step away from what we had to watch during covid. Scottish football is terrible at selling itself and accentuating it’s genuine good points and this is an example of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won’t go out of phase 2. Last time I couldn’t get a hearts ticket was 2015. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest your concern isn’t with Scottish football selling itself, it’s with not getting a ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't attend many away games or have AberDNA anymore but I've still got 478 points. I think your calcs are wrong. And I'm still not likely getting a ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be correct based on that, maybe they offered more points in previous years. I’ve not factored in cup or European games which I believe give you 4 points each either. https://www.afc.co.uk/2022/06/23/update-to-priority-points/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket for past 5 season, plus 3 or 4 away games a season and most home cup games and I have 320 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEFA, Scottish FA, Premier League and English FA all deem it to be a matter for them for their competitions. It’s just my opinion, lubo. Id rather we had a bigger away support, I do think it adds to the spectacle and of course, I’d rather get a ticket . But if hearts have taken a judgement to prioritise fans who can’t otherwise get a ticket vs the spectacle then I believe they should have the right to do so, even if I disagree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2018, you get 100 for a season ticket and AberDNA. That was obviously when I had more money! It's dropped to 40 for season ticket and 40 for AberDNA. The European and league cup games fair stack up though. Main point being, there will be plenty of folk with more points than me. Which is fair enough. I don't go to many away games so when the allocation is restricted, then I miss out. I've been offered a ticket for the home end but don't fancy that.

Cup Semi and Finals is 2 points. Also next season season ticket and DNA is including in the points. Anyone on Premium DNA, got a season ticket and go to nearly all the away games will be first to get tickets. I think those that don't do DNA but goes to every game will be offered tickets.

This “reasonable allocation” nonsense is typical of the SPFL though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This “reasonable allocation” nonsense is typical of the SPFL though. Big, noisy away supports are what makes watching football different to virtually any other sport. The league should absolutely set a minimum percentage that has to be given to away clubs if they request it. 5-10% seems reasonable to be. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck getting 5,000 tickets from The Rangers for the b*****d garden, or 6,000 for the piggery. Even 5%…. 2,500 at Ibrox? It’ll NEVER get voted through on that nonsensical 11-1 vote - thanks for that Stewart Milne ya fud. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
