Heart of Midlothian fans can now secure Premiership tickets for the 2026/27 season by purchasing through club platforms or secondary markets. Ticket prices range from £20 to £50, with high-profile matches costing up to triple that amount.
Ticket Purchase Process
Official match tickets for the Scottish Premiership are sold directly by each club’s ticketing platform or box office; there is no central league portal. Tickets typically go on sale two to four weeks before the fixture date. Season-ticket holders and club members receive priority, with exclusive windows opening up to 3-4 weeks before the match for buying extra seats. If any seats remain, the general public can purchase tickets roughly one to two weeks before kick-off. Fans who miss the official sale can turn to secondary-market retailers such as Ticombo, which offers a reliable alternative for last-minute tickets.
Pricing Structure
General admission adult tickets usually cost between £20 and £50. High-demand fixtures-such as those against Celtic, Rangers, or the Edinburgh Derby between Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian-are classified as Category A (Premium Matches) and can see standard prices double or even treble. The remaining fixtures fall into Category B or C (Standard Matches), with prices set according to demand. Clubs often split home games into two or three tiers, and the base price is determined by the tier and the opponent’s popularity.
Key Fixtures and Records
The season’s most dramatic finish came in May when Celtic scored two late goals against Heart of Midlothian at Celtic Park, denying the Edinburgh side their first league title since 1960. Heart of Midlothian had been top of the table for almost eight months before that defeat. Under Martin O’Neill, the Bhoys are now aiming for a sixth successive league crown, or, improbably, a 15th in the past 16 seasons.
The Old Firm rivalry remains the longest sustained period of domestic dominance, with Celtic holding 56 league titles and Rangers 55. Both clubs share a record of nine consecutive league titles: Celtic achieved this twice (1965-1974 and 2011-2020) and Rangers did so from 1988-1997. No club outside the Old Firm has won the league since 1985, when Alex Ferguson led Aberdeen to the title. Celtic’s record for most points in a season is 103, set in the 2001-02 campaign under Martin O’Neill, while the now-defunct Gretna FC hold the record for fewest points, with 13 in 2007-08.
