Hearts have announced that season ticket sales for the club’s return to the SPFL Premiership in the forthcoming season are fast approaching the 13,000 mark.

With Phase Two prices starting today, Hearts are on course for record sales figures.

Owner Ann Budge told the club’s official website “The support shown by Hearts fans for their club never ceases to amaze me. I keep thinking “it can’t get any better” and they prove me wrong every time.

“When we sold 12,500 season tickets last season, we were absolutely thrilled. To have sold 13,000, so far, this season…well, what can I say? We made extra seats available to allow for the possibility of extra demand and the supporters, as ever, are backing us all the way.

“There are still seats left, of course, but they are going quickly. The best seats remaining now are for our hospitality reserved areas and I have absolutely no doubt that they will go equally quickly, now that the hospitality season packages have been announced.

“I really cannot thank our supporters enough for their loyalty; but I also want to reassure them. I know they are all desperate to hear about new signings for next season but I urge them to be patient. I assure you we are all working really hard to negotiate a number of new contracts, some of which are very complex.

“We are totally focused on bringing in the calibre of player that Craig and Robbie believe we need to ensure our continued success on the field. Our supporters deserve the best we can afford and we are doing everything in our power to deliver on that.”

Hearts have also announced details of its hospitality packages for the new season, details of which are at www.heartsfc.co.uk
