VincentGuerin Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I'm on the package so IN for all three home games, also booked up for Riga and Florence. Waiting and seeing for Istanbul, that'll be easy to sort late on. Tickets moving sluggishly for the home games. None sold out yet, and plenty left for the game on Thursday. It's an expensive time to be a Hearts supporter, and obviously outside football there are big financial issues for most people just now. I know a few lads who are booked up for the first two trips in the group but won't be going to any of the home games as a way of paying for the trips. I can see that logic. Also think the kick-off time for the first game is an issue. Again, anecdotally I know several people who usually come to games in my group who just can't make it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Can't make Thursday so I'm going to the other two home games and Florence. Not surprised sales for Thursday are a bit sluggish but I'd have thought Fiorentina would be near enough sold out by now. I guess there's only so much cash you can wring out of one set of fans in such a short period. Shite form and a boring transfer window probably don't help either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylish Kid Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I think the short notice for tickets, particularly this week hasn't helped! I was surprised how many tickets were available. I guess also, they are guaranteed to be on tellly. And a 545 KO is potentially difficult at 4 days notice with other commitments! Poor show from uefa TBH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor show from uefa TBH Kick-off time definitely a factor. But it's also just expense. In the last few months a lot of Hearts fans have shelled out for a season ticket, we had an away derby, we had the Zurich tie, a few thousand at Livi on Saturday, now a lot of people have trips to pay for etc. And obviously cash is a concern at the moment. I can understand why it's a bit slow. Purely on a personal level, it's been an eye-watering few weeks for the bank balance related to Hearts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Also, hope Hearts allow a fully public sale tomorrow. No sense in limiting it to people who have a buying account. A couple of folk I know have been going to games on/off for years using mates' STs or going to aways on other accounts etc. They can't buy tickets for these European games, and that just seems daft. We've now had the Season Ticket holder phase, we've had the open phase for Reference Number holders, now they should just open it up and get some more sweet, sweet gate money in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Fucking laughable stuff from Hearts with the Riga away tickets. 400-odd on sale at 155 Loyalty Points and above tomorrow, with another 500 available later. They do realise that the game is next Thursday? Get them all on sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it is daft in general, surely the clubs have been in dialogue about how many fans are expected to travel etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts really are amateur at times. This is really simple stuff. It won't be 100% accurate, but fire off an email to everyone with a ref number asking about travel intentions, take it from there. Supporters' buses do this all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 What stand would you fine gentlemen recommend for the game? I’ve only been to Tynecastle once before and think I was in the Wheatfield. Is Main Stand better? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a lot of empty seats that aren’t going to be purchased so seems like a crazy decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praying that Kiomourtzoglou's visa miraculously comes through in time and that he's actually good. I don't fancy our current midfield options other than Devlin against a better side. Based on who was benched yesterday, I've a feeling we might see Ginnelly up front and Shankland dropping off. Gordon Smith Halkett Kingsley Cochrane Kio/Haring Devlin Forrest Shankland McKay Ginnelly With the disastrous news that Halkett is out and the unsurprising news that Kiomourtzoglou's work permit hasn't come through I'm revising it to this. Gordon Smith Neilson/Sibbick Kingsley Cochrane Forrest Haring Devlin McKay Ginnelly Shankland God help us. At least our inevitable gubbing will just be rolled into the wider narrative about "the standard of the game". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty shambolic. Aye. I know at least five who have already bought in the home end and it seems at least one 'home' section of the stand we're in is going to be majority Hearts fans. Possibly the next one along too. RFS have been daft in not leaving sections empty to enlarge the away end, but Hearts have done absolutely nothing here to gauge the interest so they could go to RFS and say 'We've got _____ travelling, let's be sensible here'. So, RFS have done hee haw about it. Hearts are a terribly amateur shower so often with commercial / customer relations stuff. Lots of Hearts fans in the home end then. Probably fine, but you never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Basaksehir handicap odds are looking tempting I have to say. I'm pretty sure the stats tell us that no Halkett usually means we lose. I think that's as much to do with Halkett being good as it is about not having a proper back-up. Kingsley does the dirty stuff well enough but I'd say Halkett and Rowles are the only out-and-out CBs we have with any experience and they're both out. Even just being able to stick in some jobber to heads and kicks everything away would give me far more confidence. Maybe we shift Haring back there? Not ideal, but it means no Sibbick and he'd probably be off the pace in midfield anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
