Hearts vs Spurs Europa League

[Auchinleckian]

Have read that Hearts only printed 3,000 programmes for the Spurs game? The programmes have predictably been doing well on ebay, and with a cover price of £5 perhaps justifiably so.
Noticed on ebay though that one such programme is currently a about the £8 mark,and one with longer to go is over the £12 mark. Checked the bidding out on both, as it didn't seem right that one with a couple of days more to go is currently costing £4 more - "bidder''s identities protected" A classic case of shill bidding, or am I missing something?
Glad I got a pre order in, and will have them at the Tartan Army Fair next Sunday.

I was at the game and they were all sold out by the time I got there (30 minutes before KO), but I have one set aside at Almondvale Programmes.

It appears to be a combination of Hearts scrimping on the print run, and people buying bundles of them at the game to make a quick buck that has lead to some silly prices on ebay.

Someone has it on Buy It Now for £20
