Caught a few glimpses of the Hearts v Celtic game earlier and there looked to be scores of empty seats, yet the attendance is given as 16,777 which can't be far off capacity at Tynecastle.
Out of interest, are season ticket holders automatically counted as 'in attendance' even if their seat is empty? If so, does that mean every home crowd we have at ER this season will automatically be at least 10,700?

Do Hearts count empty season ticket holders' seats in the official attendance?

Perhaps they do but to be fair there are many clubs who count season ticket holder seats in their attendances even if they don't attend a certain match

This has been discussed lots of time. Hearts always announce tickets sold not the actual attendance. But what difference does it make.

In saying that, though, it'd be churlish to deny their attendances have been anything other than decent the last few seasons.

The difference is notable when you get the attendance numbers for home supporters in cup games
So they have to pay less to the opposition

You have got to remember that some of these muppets ,in their blind loyalty to the cause ,purchase more than one season ticket.

They always do this, they are cheats but can't explain when confronted with it, they don't turn up against Celtic anyway due to the inevitable outcome. The only time is was at capacity is when we played St Johnstone.
Big team.......

Surely an attendance is exactly that, those that attend! Yamenomics as per usual!

It just seems to me it says something about a club when it has to pretend and exaggerate the size of its home attendances. To be fair, it's not that their attendances are poor. So why lie/pretend/exaggerate?
I'm sure the shrinks have a word for it.

I'm glad I missed the last fifteen minutes of that game.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

[QUOTE=Edson Arantes;4784725]How much more damn petty can football fansites become?
We do the same with ST holders.
Give it a friggin rest
Virtually every team in England counts its gates including all tickets sold so season ticket holders not taking up their seat for a game are included.
Whether Hibs will this season will remain to be seen but up until last season we certainly didn't. We had over 8000 season ticket holders didn't we? Our gates against Livingston and Dumbarton were 7,289 and 6,686 respectively so clearly non attending season tickets weren't being counted.
