Celtic have confirmed that tickets for their upcoming Champions League play-off at Celtic Park are now on sale to season ticket holders.
The first leg will take place on Wednesday, August 20, with an 8pm kick-off, against either FC Kairat or Slovan Bratislava. Kairat hold a 1-0 advantage from the first leg of their third qualifying round tie, meaning Celtic could face a gruelling 7,000-mile round trip to Kazakhstan in the return fixture just days before the Glasgow derby, if Bratislava don’t manage a comeback.
Season ticket holders have until 9 am on Wednesday, August 13 to secure their usual seats for the home match. Sales are currently online-only, with prices set at £29 for adults, £22 for concessions and £17 for under-13s.
Brendan Rodgers’ squad is still awaiting reinforcements before the crucial tie, but the Celtic boss has already made clear that his focus will be on maximising the output from the players currently at his disposal. “Whether we’re prepared or unprepared is irrelevant,” Rodgers said on Friday. “I’ll work with the players here and make them as ready as possible.”
The manager admitted that no signings are imminent and that he is unsure whether or not he’ll have new faces in the door for these qualifiers.
Celtic are asking fans to pay the £29 after season ticket prices increased and fans had no free friendly included in their ticket.
