Celtic fans will receive just 749 tickets for visits to the Falkirk Stadium in the new season.
Back to back promotions under John McGlynn have created a lot of excitement in the town with 5,700 Season Tickets sold.
According to the SPFL website the Stadium has a capacity of 7,937 with the non Season Ticket seats split up in a variety of ways allowing for segregation and matchday sales.
In a ticketing update on the Falkirk website the club announced:
Away Fans
Visiting supporters will receive 749 tickets, located in sections E, F, and part of section D in the North Stand. Tickets will be sold through the away club.
Celtic are away to Falkirk on December 13 with a second visit due if both teams are in the same half of the Premiership table after the 33 fixture split.
The Falkirk Stadium was built in 2004 to replace Brockville, currently it has stands on three sides with the club considering adding a fourth.
In terms of away tickets for the new season Celtic fans can expect 7,000 or more tickets for matches away to Livingston but the loss of St Johnstone and Ross County will be felt with both of those clubs offering away fans significantly more away tickets, especially St Johnstone who provided Celtic with three stands for their last visit to McDiarmid Park.
Good on Falkirk, if teams can fill their stands then let them go for it. Their club, their fans should come first.We could give them 1,000 & at Paradise & prioritise our fans but won’t be an issue if we knock down that shithole of a main stand & spend £100m on a new 75k main stand to accommodate OUR fans on the waiting list, we’ll, half of them at least!
Instead of ” drip feeding ” upgrades and improvements to the Main Stand over the years…it’s been allowed to deteriorate and will now cost a fortune to sort…Our Board ain’t fit for purpose.
Yes, whilst we can all debate the level of negative influence of PL/MN on transfer activity,
the state of the Main Stand is arguably, the most obvious sign that the Board is not
working effectively, and hasn’t for a long time?
‘Sweating the assets’ when the plc cash pile grows ever larger reflects a short-term,
restrictive approach – and a lack of vision – off the park.
Falkirk’s “stadium” is a joke. It’s basically a big three-sided bus shelter. It’s an embarrassment that such a construction is seen fit for the Premier League.
Another fuckin plastic pitch to contend with as well Paddybhoy67…
No wonder Scottish Football Is mercilessly mocked in England when I go down to watch ma favourite team down there…
And that team certainly ain’t no giants for sure…
I cannot argue with one single word that The English say about football in this backwater of a football country !
What teams give Celtic in tickets is easy returned when they visit parkhead ,give what we get or less . No big deal it,s the team that are playing the football not the fans
Falkirk looking after their own business is commendable.
5,700 season books sold.
A reopening of the youth academy.
Fully digital ticketing platform
New fanzone with support of the council
Very wrong to call their stands as bus shelters, their main stand has better facilities than celtics.
A fair comment. On Economies of Scale, perhaps we are just too big for our own boots!
To be fair, this is quite easily solved. Supporters clubs hire double-decker buses, park them in Falkirk’s car park and from the upper deck everybody can see the game over the fence where the fourth stand should be….?
