There would have been stories of long queues, problems with ticket office etc.

Apparently they are still counting the as yet incomplete credit card transactions. They haven't actually received the money for these yet and my understanding is they are unlikely to receive it all before their self imposed 2 week deadline, hence the need for Cash and Cheque only.

Wonder if it's clear to the administrator they're not going to hit the target if he'll just shut the doors early, i'd imagine the first week will give him a fair idea if they're going to be able to generate enough cash or not.

Supposing they are telling the truth about the 900 figure it'd be interesting to know how many of them were full price season tickets and how many were kids or concessions.

He did say that they would review sales after a week to see how much money was raised, so it's possible if they keep falling they won't get the full 2 weeks

Is there definitely not any online or phone sales? Would explain why they're claiming to have sold this much when the shop has been dead.

They have now announced that the 1000 mark has been hit!!!!! Yeah right!

Good - the more of them that lose their cash in the next few weeks the better.

Also, this is just to last them until the season starts and they are only 1/3 of the way to the total having probably hit the peak of those who would have responded the message.

They released a statement saying they were only accepting cash or cheque payments so that'd require a visit to the shop.

So not even a debit card payment?

Nope, not even a debit card payment.

There was talk of credit cards being accepted before they released the statement so there's a chance some were bought that way, although the fact hearts released that statement there's got to be doubts as to whether they'll get that money in time.

It was still possible to put and order through online on Friday. Judging by Twitter and weallbuttonuptheback a lot of them took this option along with the finance option. Over the weekend the only way to buy them was with cash or cheque, there are no sales online or over the phone currently. All the credit card sales are still on hold and Zebra finance have suspended the credit option.

From the Scotsman article.

"Hearts manager Gary Locke says he has been in touch with a number of clubs regarding a friendly on July 20 adding that he was sure that fans would fill stadium no matter the opposition.

He said: “I touched base with Ally because we want to play a game that would fill the stadium. Mind you, I reckon we could play Bonnyrigg Rose and 14,500 would turn up."

Why are they struggling for season ticket sales if there's a hardcore of 14,500. Not only does Locke like a bit of p**h but he also talks plenty of it aswell.

Crazy. They're no exactly making it as easy as possible for folk to buy them.

Good!

[Eternal Hibbie]

If, and its a big if, they beg, steal and borrow their way to some sort of survival scenario, would we be satisfied with them being homeless and playing in a lower division, taking many years to climb back to any semblance of what they were ?

And now that they are struggling for their very survival will the deluded over there still refer to them as the "big team" ?

I don't think for a minute they're kidding on. The yams only sold 6000 season tickets pre-admin.*They'll definitely sell the other 3k tickets.

I'm not convinced, especially now they don't have the option of credit card facilities or payment plans. I also think a lot of them have given up and just want the inevitable to hurry up and happen so they can start again in whatever form.

Yam I know took great delight in informing people he paid £1800 on 6 season tickets which he paid for on his credit card. He then went on to advise fellow thick yams to do the same, think this was Friday.

Love the fact that his payment has probably been suspended

[Treadstone]

Popped my heid into the Yams ticket office 15 minutes ago (11:15am). Car park busy but artificially so, satellite van taking up about 15 spaces as they were doing an interview there. Looked like Charles Paterson from SKY interviewing a Danny Wilson lookalike. Checked their website and narrowed it down to three, McHattie seems the current go to guy at the minute.

Anyhoo there was about eight in the queue, a couple were carrying hangers so i take it tickets and retail operate from the same line. Another four browsing could be buying anything, old couple looking at the token gifts, mugs(!) and pens. Actually felt a bit sorry for them looked like the types that are affronted at the shenanigans and just seemed to want to do their bit however small. Auld chap wearing his Yam jacket wi' pride.

Wasn't going in deep cover, so can't report on the Garden Gnomes! Must be potential for a paint job there.

Other than getting a Wonga loan, how many people can shell out £300 - £400 in a month on a season ticket. Yams I have spoken to have the choice of buying a season ticket or going on holiday and most are telling me that they can't justify putting anymore money into the club.

Barry Anderson claiming hearts have had a bid put forward to their administrator. Shame he can't sell them.

[Kato]

They'll sell 3000 no problem imho. All it's doing is getting them all aboard a carpet that is about to whipped from beneath them.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Why would clubs, who have been impacted by Hearts cheating, want to help them out because of their cheating?

Sounds ridiculous.

It would be like Lance Armstrong (1-5, by the way) asking his previous cycling community cyclists to chip in to get him back on the circuit.

If there's a chance of a sale then the Administrator can ask for the assets to be unfrozen. Doesn't mean it'll happen but there is a slight possibility. He probably won't ask until he's done all the rest as they'll likely only get one shot at it.

I was in the shop as well this morning ( about 11.05 am, us Hibbies are making their place busy ! ) Two or three looking like they were going to buy tickets of some description.
The shop is a pretty scruffy dump compared to ours, makes TK Max look like Harrods.

[s.a.m]

In the extremely unlikely event that the valiant efforts of these hoards of valiant and loyal Jambos, stampeding in their thousands to the club's rescue in its hour of need, fail to hit the target - what happens to the season and match ticket cash handed over, if they fold and don't actually play any games? Does it get tossed into the black hole to contribute to the creditor compensation, or do they get it back?
