Celtic look set to announce new measures for season ticket holders which looks to address the anxiety around many losing their seat for next season.
The current financial climate means a lot of supporters who would have renewed without a second hesitation can no longer at this point count on cash flow to pay for their books. Redundancies and uncertainty mean at the present time, long-standing season ticket holders could lose their season book if the club were not to intervene.
According to Celtic SLO, John Paul Taylor, Celtic are working on a plan to make sure no supporter loses their book at the end of this month due to the current crisis.
The renewal period ends on May 29, which was extended in the first place. This looks now like it will go into over-over time.
It's currently May 29 but likely to be extended beyond this

No, there has been no suggestion or consideration given to selling anyone's seat, objective at the moment is to provide as much time and flexibility as possible to everyone planning to renew

With no news on how this season will end yet, the club can’t end season ticket renewals when we don’t know what next season is going to look like.
It’s a precarious and unprecedented time for all football clubs and they must ensure they do everything possible to put supporters minds at ease.
