The Big Huge Gigantic Team.......

[Frazerbob]

.....still haven't sold out their wopping 1400 tickets for tommorrow.

3rd force eh?

[bighairyfaeleith]

thats pretty bad, where did you hear this?

[JimBHibees]

Keekback reporting it I think

[Hibee87]

what the big team who were ripping us for only selling half a stand at the PBS last season when we had nothing to play for on thursday night surley not the big team ALWAYS sell out at e.r dont cha know must be some sort of boycott then

[Barney McGrew]

Not for the first time, Hertz fail to sell their allocation for ER. No doubt they'll be boycotting us again

And yet they still have a go at us for one game at Hampden where they also failed to sell out their tickets.

Not being able to sell out 1400 briefs for a game 3 miles away from their home ground when they're pushing to overtake us to get into Europe?

Big team my erse.

[K.Marx]

oh how I wish the old East Stand was still up so we could have laughed at the site of barely 1,400 of them in a 3,500 stand

It makes me laugh when they go on about their whopping big home attendances whilst their away support is utter pish.

now anyone seems to be able to view what they say over their and you dont have to be a member when did this happen? This means I dont need to go looking 4 my online football jokes each day any more now

anywhy back to the op they cant sell them out because people dont have anuf loyalty points looking at the TV pitures of there last cuple of games this is not a surprise

[HibbyAndy]

Hearts have bigger fish and bigger scalps to fry tho.

Its Champions LG they are after.Not the Europa LG.

THATS why they havent sold out.

[Hainan Hibs]

Didn't they have their knobs out about getting the entire stand because they would sell so quickly?

The only thing BIG about them is the big embarrassment they are.

[bighairyfaeleith]

love how they are all blaming there stupid points system for not selling it out

Also, someone says that there is probably on 50 or so left, then everyone states it as fact for the rest of the thread. Fannies of the highest order

[hibs0666]

Have we sold all our tickets?

wtf is hearts loyalty points? im guerssing its the same as having to be on the database like hibs and bought a cat b ticket to get a cat a game right? but that doesnt answer the question of season ticket holders who must have the priority to by tickets correct? so if they have say 10'000 season ticket holders what the **** arwe they slavering about

[whereswallace?]

My yam mate informs me that as of 15.56 they had 9 tickets remaining.

Im sure he ment to say they have 9 brain cells remaining between them.

[Antifa Hibs]

The last Derby wasn't sold out. Tomorrow is not looking likely to sellout.

WTF is this telling you Hibs and Hearts? Yer £28 tickets are a tad dear, for a 4 times a season fixture, that is constantly on the tele at a ****** kick-off time perhaps?

Empty seats is a good thing IMO. Long may it continue. To my knowledge there will have only been 7 sellouts in the whole SPL this season. 4 old firm derbies, the 1st two edinburgh derbies and the huns will sell-out their last game of the season when they get the trophy. As I've said before, what is this telling us? Fans bored of the league format? Sick and tired of TV dictating fixtures? Sick and tired of paying top dollar for pesh fitba?


Saying that, the wee huns still not shifting 1400 briefs is piss poor, no doubt if this game was at 3pm with tickets priced at £22, you wouldn't get one for love nor money, in either end.

**** ESPN and Sky. **** yer sky high ticket prices.

The thing is, those strokers haven't been selling out their allocation at ER for years, even when it was much cheaper and it wasn't on the TV.

I remember a few years (maybe 4-5) back you had to get yerself down to E.R at around 7/8am to get a ticket for tynie, and they were gone by 12pm without fail. In the meantime hearts would rarely fill more than 3/4 of the South Stand at E.R and blame it on some boycott or not wanting to give us money

Barney, yer wrong mate. a Yam called John Mitchell tells us the real reaon...

Your forgetting that the initial sales were only for people with 71 loyalty points or over, this cuts out a lot of the Hearts support right away, had the applications been open to everyone then they would have sold out in hours, but then it wouldn't be fair on the most loyal of Hearts fans with the most points.

I reckon a few people don't fancy sharing a stand and mixing with the absolute ******s which used to sit in their East barn too, lets face it, its the utter dregs of that mobs support who sit in there.

Surely it's ******s which don't know the rules of grammar?

Originally for this match Hearts fans needed to have 71 loyalty points to purchase a ticket. They then reduced the number of loyalty points needed and it's now down to 55. They rarely ever sell out at their away games never mind most, so why bother with it?

i agree with much of what you say, however looking at it realistically if we reduce both the ticket prices and tell the TV companies to **** off where exactly are we going to get our money from?

If you think that both of these factors would somehow drag thousands of people watching football, well i'll just say i think your wrong as there would be even less money to spend on players so the standard would be even poorer than it is now plus you'd still have wall to wall premiership football showing you just how poor the standard is.

Scottish football wasn't exactly thriving before the premier league was introduced and back then there was no sky tv, kick offs were at the same time every week and from what i hear many kids were getting a lift over the turnstyles.

I don't claim to know what the answers are BTW i just know that it's not as simple as reducing ticket prices, if it was that easy everyone would be doing it.

I'd also like to know what their 'actual' home attendances are compared to ours, given that they constantly count their ST sales as part of the overall attendance.

This is the same 'big team' who also took less than 100 fans to Hamilton earlier this season, too.

Hearts NO LONGER count ST sales they did for parts of season 2006-07 and 2007-08. This has been discussed here before and to repeat We are trying to get the actual numbers through the turnstiles. However you can only use the reported figure unless otherwise corrected.
