Hearts only have one section of stand reserved for us, for this visit, selling limited seats in second seciton to home fans and all other sections too, surprised as even though the rip us off, we've taken a fairly sizeable support to these matches. ( albeit not often scheduled midweek)

Is the view from the lower tier rotten? £6 is quite a gulf in price.

Think I've only been in the front tier once. Can't remember it being a particularly poor view, especially if can get nearer back rows. Agree the 6 quid difference is crazy though

We were in the lower tier for the cup game in 2008 and it was not as good as further back but it was fine. We've gone downstairs for tickets for Wednesday too as it certainly isn't a 25% poorer view!

Thinking of taking the car too. Where do people generally park?

Sainsbury's on Westfield road is where we park. Just off Gorgie Road and is a 5 minute walk from the stadium. Plus you get to walk by North British Distillers and enjoy the wonderful scent

I know it's not all about me, this ticket scenario is hugely inconvenient I feel.

 

I'll need to wait till Wednesday morning/lunchtime/afternoon to find out whether I can just stoat up to Tynecastle and buy one!

 

I had fully intended going to this game but it's in the balance now.

An Aberdeen fan contacted the BBC yesterday saying the same thing. He didn't know a game against Kilmarnock would be all ticket and queue at ticket office meant he'd miss a fair chunk of the first half.

 

Just another example of Scottish clubs costing themselves money by putting customers off going...

I don't think it's the clubs that decide, is it? Is it not usually the police that determine if a game should be all ticket?

 

(If it is the clubs, then I agree - madness).

Thats correct but they're more than happy for the clubs to take the flak.

Looking at trains, there's no direct return to Motherwell after FT. There's a 2200 one via Glasgow which looks the only option. Pricey too at £16.70 return to Larkhall.....might just take the car!

 

There is one at 23:15 that gets back in motherwell at 00:21

 

£10.60 for an Off-peak return

I think in a lot of cases it's "all ticket" in the sense you need to buy a ticket from a window or caravan, rather than paying cash at the turnstiles. (St Mirren, killie...)

 

There's a bit of scaremongering (bit extreme, but best word I can think) as it's easier for the clubs and police if you buy in advance and they know how many are coming.

 

There's also the trust issue with stewards who man the turnstiles handling cash, clubs prefer the ticket office staff to do this.

 

(I worked a couple of games at tynecastle and folk were fighting to get the cash turnstile.)

Just off the phone to the club who state there is no movement at the moment on the tickets and that there would likely be none until the club send all tickets back to Tynecastle. (Side note, our office staff are VERY polite by comparison to other clubs)

 

 

I'm going to travel through to Fir Park, from edinburgh, in the morning to buy tickets and I could get yours if you'd like? Let me know, it's no inconvenience to me to buy an extra one.
