On Tuesday Celtic fans discovered if they had been balloted a Scottish Cup Final ticket.
On top of a Season Ticket you have to be in the Home Cup Ticket Scheme which would have involved buying tickets for two matches against Hibs plus games against Falkirk, Kilmarnock and Raith Rovers which comes it at around £120 with five Champions League matches costing the guts of £200.
Clearly not everyone that went to those matches can get a ticket for the Cup Final but very little is known about the process involved in allocating tickets and crucially how many tickets are made available to ordinary Season Ticket holders.
There is a real feeling that the number of corporate tickets is increasing, for £250 you get a pre-match buffet at Celtic Park, a bus to Hampden and a seat in the North Stand or East Stand then a bus back to Celtic Park after the match.
Sick of these ballots. Last 3 SC finals my sons had nothing. My mates had all 3. Why can’t those who never got last year get this yr. Its easy to pull that data @CelticFC . Your process is lazy and unfair. You should be looking after ALL season book holders on HTCS. @CelticFCSLO

Totally agree 100% my mate I sit with gets tickets for every final yet come finals I’m 50/50 as to getting one the process is flawed and yes lazy Is exactly what it is.

The nature of the ballot is unknown, with nothing made public it should be assumed that it is entirely random.
Everyone that qualifies goes in a draw with the same chance of a ticket.
Most fans would prefer a rolling system where those unsuccessful for one cup final are given preference for the next.
Generally for semi-finals, other than against the club from Ibrox, everyone can be catered for.
Celtic had close to 40,000 fans at the League Cup semi-final against Aberdeen and the Scottish Cup semi against St Johnstone, tickets for that match filtered down to a general sale to Season Ticket holders not on the Home Cup Ticket Scheme.
This. Time Celtic produced a detailed breakdown of where the tickets go – home ticket scheme, hospitality, corporate etc. https://t.co/XXHLYHO58h

You’ve got to feel for the Aberdeen fans on these occasions ! Travelling the long journey to Glasgow …then 35 minutes into the final , thousands head back to the buses despondent , as another Scottish Cup is gone by that time and the long journey back home beckons ? How miserable can they feel ? How much is a cup final ticket again ?
Ah, Lawwell taught his minions well, meet the New Boss, same as the Old Boss
plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
Why would fans think otherwise?
You’re just a number, much like any one of the mythical 10K on the Season Book waiting list.
All done to deter people from cancelling in haste then going to the back of the bus, sorry queue.
If that figure was anywhere near accurate then extra capacity would have been built years ago. Are we seriously expected to believe that the Board would turn dead down the option of 10K x £500 per annum (minimum). Good auld Pete would have been front and centre laying the bricks himself. Just another string to his bow…..
Kerching….
Incidentally, if you type in ‘Kerching’ to this post, predictive text changes it to ‘Leeching’.
Coincidence or what?
Ah you want flied lice with cully.
Is it the same on the klan sites ?. You are right enough about the so called waiting list I agree there.
Lol some clown on Football Insider bragging about the stadium capacity being increased at the bigot dome, unfortunately the dopey cunt doesn’t mention how many extra seats.
King out on a mission yesterday still trying to pimp himself and his worthless shares out there.
PANIC is stations have set in now,in February it was announced about the FAKEOVER only weeks away from completion,3 months later and they are still in the same position no further forward.
March became April,April became May and now May has become June.
All that’s missing there is Neil Sedaka,ah love ah love ah love ma calendar girl,everyday of the year.
