Hearts Europa League play-off tickets on sale from Friday

Hearts will play Viktoria Pizen in the Europa League play-off round and the first leg is in the Doosan Arena in Czechia on Thursday, August 22 (6pm UK time).

The return is at Tynecastle on Thursday, August 29 (7.45pm) and tickets for the home leg go on sale at 10am on Friday, August 16 to season ticket holders.

They are reserved until Tuesday at 5pm after which unsold season ticket seats will be released for general sale.

Non-season ticket holders can buy tickets in the Roseburn Stand subject to availability.

Adult tickets for the Euro game are £20 and over 65s £15.

Ticket information for the first-leg in Pizen, who are currently second in the Czech First League and are managed by Miroslav Koubek, will be announced shortly but hospitality packages for the home leg will go on sale on Friday, August 16.

The Czechia team, who won the Czech First League title in season 2021/22, have finishing third in their last two domestic campaigns, but qualified to meet Hearts courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, who are eighth in the Ukrainian Premier League in the third round Europa League tie.

A goal from Daniel Vasulin after 52 minutes secured their passage after coming from behind to take a 2-1 victory in Ukraine in the first leg for a 3-1 aggregate overall.

Of course, victory for the Steven Naismith’s Jambos would see the Scots move into the Europa League groups but defeat would mean they play Conference League football. Pizen advanced to the quarter-final of that competition last season before falling to Italian side Fiorentina.
