Hearts Game Price Cut

[Dynamo]

£5 for adults and concessions, £1 for under 12's. New home kit on show too apparently.

[Karl Fletcher]

Good stuff, will definitely be going now.

[Foster14]

Think it would have needed something like this for a good crowd. Hopefully a nice day to go along with it.

 

Does make a bit of a mockery of the savings they advertise along with their season tickets though. The 3 home games I've missed, plus this one effectively means I'd have paid the same at the gate every week.

[dunc_afc]

Does anyone know what the crack is with black and gold season tickets? I thought we were still due a free ticket this season or have I got my wires crossed?

Was earlier in the season if I remember right.

I thought there was one they gave to all season ticket holders that they said wouldn't affect the black and gold deal.

[OddJob]

Would like to think we'd get a good crowd for this match

[Karl Fletcher]

Just noticed on the Club website that you need to get your £5 tickets in advance, you can't just show up at the turnstile on the day and hand over a fiver.

 

Is that not a bit stupid?

 

Can see a few angry Dandies showing up, fiver in hand, only to be told they have to pay full whack.

 

Edit: I suppose a short walk round to the ticket office can solve that, if they show up early enough, however I'm not sure why they don't just put cash gates on for this offer as well.

Ludicrous, but no doubt designed to make extra cash out of those who turn up at the last min & just want in.

 

Is it same criteria for Jambos?

Yes.

 

These deals always seem great on the face of it til you read the small print. Shooting themselves in the foot.

[dave_min]

Fucking booo.

 

Once again, us hard working, honest paying, Season Ticket holders get shafted.

 

I shan't be renewing next season.

 

(As an aside, not having PATG for this offer is fucking stupid, particularly after closing the club ship in town)

[diamondsr4ever]

dry yer eyes Dave_min.....its the last game of the season

Hearts are cash gates and its a £5. I very much doubt that it will be full whack it will be £5 but they will encourge people to turn up with tickets

How are we getting shafted? We have our perks for buying season tickets. £144 saving over the course of the season and a 10% saving on each purchase at the club shop?

[RUL]

Theres no chance whatsoever season ticket holders have saved £144.00 over PATG fans this season.

I was going by the last sentence in this section here...

[Kilkito]

As a season ticket holder, I couldn't give a shit about "being shafted" any initiative to try and encourage fans along is fine by me, I don't really buy the ST to save money, its about habit, helping the club and guaranteeing tickets for big games(not that this is so necessary nowadays).

[Dynamo]

I agree. Would rather see an extra 3-4000 turn up than save £5 on those getting in cheaper!!

[Stoney]

I'll not be there...

[dave_min]

I agree. Would rather see an extra 3-4000 turn up than save £5 on those getting in cheaper!!

 

Are you mad?

Think of the π-queue if that many punters turned up??

Not to mention the reduction in number of seats to choose from.

Correct answer.

[daytripping]

I was planning on going to this, don't know if I'll bother now, fuck going to the ticket office.

 

£23 for a nothing end of season game, will spend my money elsewhere, sky diver no problem.

[oilcat]

Hearts have this in their website

 

Aberdeen V Hearts

 

Entry will be via a cash turnstile with admission priced as follows

 

Adults £5

O60 U18 Students £5

U12s £1

 

So I take it that it will be a fiver pay at the gate for everyone

[muttonhumper]

Indeed. AFC website:

 

 

Ticket Prices are as follows:

Adult

Concession (under 18, over 60 & FT students)

Under 12

Main Stand (& RDS padded)

£5

£5

£1

South Stand

£5

£5

£1

Richard Donald Stand

£5

£5

£1

Merkland Family Stand

£5

£5

£1

 

On match day, cash turnstiles will be open in all stands from 2:00 pm. As always we recommend purchasing in advance to secure the best seat(s) and minimise queueing on match day.

[Karl Fletcher]

Wonder why they have that contradiction on the website then.

 

Good that you can pay at the gate though, however I imagine we'll still struggle to get a crowd of over 10,000/11,000

[Ke1t]

I would go if I was in Aberdeen,

 

Could be your last ever chance to see Hearts at Pittodrie... or anywhere else for that matter.

I'm sure you can't charge different prices for two sets of fans.

As much as I'd like to let us in for hee haw and charge the Dhims £100, we can't

[baconman]

Shame they didnt try this type of pricing earlier in the season at a game which DID matter i.e. shitty cup game against the midden or summik?!!

Thats only if they're in the same stand.
