But they should be dropping the points requirement to 7 or 8. 15 is OTT. Costs us money, less backing for the team, open goal for the OF morons to criticise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but the rage among the Celtic fans almost makes it worth it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are, at time of writing, 578 tickets left on sale for the Celtic game About 2/3 of which are in the section K next to the Celtic fans Most of the rest are single seats scattered around the rest of the ground, ideal for people with no mates Giving Celtic an extra section would mean we'd already be denying Hearts fans tickets regardless of their loyalty point status and the extra revenue would be less than £18k Edited February 27 by topcat(The most tip top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think we shouldn't be making it unreasonably difficult for Hearts fans to buy a ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means you could pretty much have been to every home game this season and still not have enough. It should be dropped to 5 or something like a buying history outside of Celtic games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Getting close to the chance to wrap up third. I think we'll get pumped off Celtic on Sunday. After that it's Ross County away and Killie at home. Two wins there and we're pretty much done, imo. Although I think the Killie game is more must-not-lose- than must-win. Follow that with St Mirren away and Livi at home. I think 9 points from our remaining games should be enough. No fucking about and hopefully a relatively serene post-split life like two years ago.

You wouldn't think that would be too difficult to sort. You could even take to anyone with one or more points excluding Celtic games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the space of a week I've gone from looking forward to the Celtic game to dreading it. As for 3rd, we have 52 points and Kilmarnock are on pace for 54. Even one win might be enough. I'd say a couple of wins and a couple of draws would make us extremely difficult to catch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie have 6 of their last 10 away, and have 2 away wins all season. Simply cannot see them getting to even 60 points, as decent a team as they look 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 With 9 games left we're now 13 points off 2nd and 13 points ahead of 4th so barring something truly amazing happening 3rd place appears inevitable the only question is when it becomes official So in order to artificially inject some suspense into proceedings I'm going to pretend that having it wrapped up before the split is important A draw in the upcoming Killie vs St Mirren fixture would help speed the process up but if we win the next four then it's job done regardless of what happens elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not wrapped up before the split, Naismith has to go. Said all along that an inexperienced coach was the wrong way to go. The utter indignity of limping into the post-split fixures still potentially staring at FOURTH would surely be too much for him to survive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Season ticket waiting list closing to new entries on Friday at 4pm. So, anyone on here fancies getting place 25,000 or 25,001 on the list, get in by the end of the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. X Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I think they should reduce the number of single game tickets. I know there is more money in the single game tickets, but Hearts should look to accommodate as many Hearts fans wanting season tickets as possible. Especially behind the goal in the Roseburn. Looked a bit shit sitting empty on Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked a bit shit sitting empty on Sunday. Heard from a few people that they're going to be doing just this. Not sure if this is just a rumour going round in circles, but it would make sense. I think we do need to keep tickets available for those who don't want/can't afford/can't commit to a season tiket. Folk shouldn't be cut out of seeing the team in those circumstances, but I'd be tempted to go up from where we are now. I think the current cap is 15,600, so I reckon we could do another thousand? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked a bit shit sitting empty on Sunday. I don't think it is about making more money from single game tickets. Like @VincentGuerin says, not everyone can afford a season ticket. And how many season ticket holders were there that didn't go to the game? 12 o'clock on Sunday morning is pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Ticket office having a tough week. After the sales-blocking 15-point policy for the Celtic game, Ross County away went on sale today to 40+ and sold out in a heartbeat, leaving quite a few 100+ pointers ticketless. Fast or last. I'm not actually against lower points totals. I think it's important to avoid a situation where a small number of Loyalty Points Champions at the top keep rolling over points just because nobody else can get in ahead of them. Maybe today was a deliberate move in that direction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
