Heart of Midlothian 2014-


Recommended Posts

Aye, he's kidding on he was a known Hibee on kickback.

Mind when he said Alex Harris is the best player Scotland has brought through in a generation? :lol:

I'll think you will find I was. I was emptied off kickback long before Alex Harris was probably out of nappies.

“After the announcement that season tickets for the 2014-15 campaign will go on sale tomorrow morning, I wanted to provide some additional information regarding their purchase.

“The delays in launching season tickets have caused huge frustration both to the supporters and to all at the club.

“We have been ready to launch for some time. We agreed the pricing weeks ago – approximately 7% reduction across the board; we agreed the phasing weeks ago – two phases instead of three.

“We have tried to keep everything as simple and straight forward as possible and hopefully you will agree that what we are proposing is

fair. It reflects that, although we have gone down a division, our costs have not significantly reduced, but recognises that the supporters have been magnificent and we want to say thank-you by implementing as much of a price reduction as we can afford.

“However, we do need to ask if you could consider helping us

out once again.

“If you choose to pay for your season ticket by credit card for personal financial reasons or because of the protection this offers you,

then that is absolutely fine and please feel free to do so.

“However, if you pay by credit card (or indeed debit card) for convenience only, would you please consider paying by cash or cheque (or loan) as this will help the club by minimising fees and assisting with cash management.

“Because of HMFC’s credit history, coupled with being in administration for a year, we have been in a weak position in negotiating economic terms with our card processing company.

“In simple terms, if you buy your season ticket using your credit card – or debit card – the card processing company does not release any

of your money to the club until after the first league game of the season, and then only 1/18th of what they have collected after each home match. This is largely to do with the Consumer Credit Act and the protection that this offers to the consumer – namely you.

“In addition, there are charges for every use of a credit/debit card which the club has to pay.

“So, if you are able to use another method of payment then we would appreciate it. If not, no problem…and either way I look forward to seeing you in the new season.

“There is more exciting news to follow shortly – watch this space!

That is a great deal for season tickets. Hibs are still charging £405 for season tickets :lol:

Like most clubs in Scotland pricing structures have tended to be flat without much difference between the price of the best seats and the worst while Hearts have tended wider range of prices meaning that it's usually one of the most expensive places to watch football if you want to be 20 rows back on the halfway line but relatively cheap if you're willing to sit next to a corner flag Edited by topcat(The most tip top)

Mine has dropped about £40 I think so can't argue. I still think the platinum ones are too expensive for the level we're at, but sales will dictate whether they've got it right or not.

It's probably priced right. My mates are all happy paying the same price as last year knowing the money is being used to help the club. I think the club know this and feel reducing the prices a wee bit will satisfy enough people to keep sales at a similar level to last season and with smaller away supports most weeks they couldn't drop prices too much and balance the books. I also think that most fans will see enough of a saving to justify a monthly direct debit alongside the season ticket, so I'm quite happy they have their maths right.

If it was £410 as top price I'd agree, but £450 for platinum in phase 2 is still high. That said, there are lots of reasonable prices in the packages and I'm confident we'll shift a fair few. I'm looking to move to a Gold section I think, so will probably pay slightly more than last year and am happy to do so.
