Hearts set to hand Celtic and Rangers fans full ticket allocation for Roseburn Stand – unless there’s an upsurge in Tynecastle season ticket sales

 

Less than 1500 travelling supporters from all clubs excluding rivals Hibs have been allowed entry since 2015

 

HEARTS could hand Celtic and Rangers*fans more briefs*at Tynecastle next year – unless there’s an upsurge in season ticket sales.

 

The Jambos decided to cut away allocations in the Roseburn Stand two years ago after clinching promotion back into the top-flight.

 

That allowed Hearts supporters the chance to snap up season tickets in the Roseburn for the first time.

 

Since then, less than 1500 travelling supporters from all Scottish clubs excluding rivals Hibs have been allowed entry into the away section.

 

But with the £12million redevelopment of the Main Stand nearing completion, it will take the current stadium capacity to more than 20,000.

 

And Hearts are now reluctantly considering allocating*the full Roseburn Stand to Old Firm fans – more than DOUBLING the current ticket share.

 

However, SunSport Online understands no official decision has been taken, with the plan dependent on the number of season ticket sales.

 

In a club statement outlining season ticket pricing for the 2017/18 campaign, the Gorgie side confirmed: “This coming season, the club has reluctantly decided to offer “Cat B+” season tickets only, in the Roseburn Stand.“This will mean that all season tickets in this area will only be valid for Category B matches and for our two Category A fixtures with Aberdeen FC.

 

“Please note that anyone with “Cat B+” season tickets will be given priority to purchase tickets for Cat A games.“We are aware that this will not be a popular decision with all fans, but we hope you will appreciate the economic reality involved, namely that the club must try to maximise attendance.“Should season ticket sales exceed our current expectations this would, of course, be revisited.”

 

The new-look Main Stand at Tynecastle is scheduled to open in September 2017.
