Celtic’s ticket sales for Falkirk clash send clear message to the board

Add as preferred source on Google

Celtic’s first game of the Scottish Premiership post-split fixture against Falkirk has gone to general sale, but the numbers don’t make for good reading.

The Hoops hold the cards in the title race and begin their quest to topple Hearts and Rangers against John McGlynn’s side.

With the Green Brigade now back in the stands, the atmosphere is slowly returning; however, it seems that quite a lot of Celtic fans are still staying away.

Celtic have thousands of tickets available for Falkirk clash

Tickets for the game on Saturday 25 April are now on general sale on the Celtic website but the stadium map shows that there are seats available in almost every corner of the ground.

Given the enormity of the next few weeks for Celtic, the decision made by so many to stay away is a damning reflection on the Hoops board.

Frustrations have reached boiling point with decisions being made on and off the pitch to the point that some are consciously choosing to stay away.

The ‘Not another penny’ campaign from the Celtic Fans Collective has been running for several weeks to pile the pressure on Dermot Desmond and co, and seems to be continuing.

Season ticket renewals could depend on whether or not Celtic win the league but for those who don’t even get the chance to go every week, the decision to not attend should raise alarm bells.

How to buy Celtic tickets

Tickets should always be bought from the official Celtic website to avoid any risks of scams and require an account.

In order to do so, here is a step-by-step guide:

Tickets are released in phases, often starting with season ticket holders before going on general sale.

Certain fixtures like the Glasgow derby are of a higher demand and therefore harder to obtain, likewise with cup semi-finals and finals.
