The Celtic Supporters Club owns two season tickets at Celtic Park. These allow us to attend every Scottish Premier League home games and give us the opportunity to purchase Champions League / Europa League tickets as well as some Scottish Cup tickets.

Every member of the Celtic Supporters Club Switzerland has the right to use the season tickets and attend the games. Active members get one to two free games a year depending of their membership preference while passive members have the opportunity to attend games at a preferential rate. Please check our membership topic for more details.

Location

The tickets are located in the Jock Stein Stand: area 143, row G, seats 8 + 9 (marked on the stadium plan below with a red cross).

Here is what you see from there:

Who keeps our tickets?

Because it would have been sad to keep the tickets in a drawer here in Switzerland, waiting for a member to use them, we decided instead to let them in Scotland. They are safely kept by our dear friends Brian and Martin. Every time that a Swiss guy or girl wants to attend a game, we organise an appointment with Brian and Martin in a pub in Glasgow or directly at the stadium before the game where they can hand over our season tickets. Spending time with them is not only a pleasure but as well a great way for every newbie to learn more about the Celtic Football Club’s traditions and all aspects of the life in Scotland. They will even guide you through the safest streets of Glasgow and prevent you from naively showing your enthusiasm whilst starting to sing some Celtic songs when crossing a unionist area for example.

Charity

Due to the small size of our supporters club it is logical that our tickets aren’t regularly used by our members. It is indeed not possible for us to travel every weekend to Glasgow and therefore there are lots of games when our season tickets are not requested from us. We know how much Glaswegians love their football club and enjoy supporting it in the stadium. It was inconceivable for us to let the tickets at Martin’s place and thus waste two seats that someone else would have liked to occupy.

Anyone who travels to Glasgow would unfortunately notice that some parts of the city are quite deprived, that there are homeless people begging and that food banks collections are not a rare sight. Coming from Switzerland, we were sorry and shocked to see such scenes. We wanted to help but didn’t know how until the day we purchased the season tickets for the first time. We realised that they were not often used by our members and we then asked Brian and Martin if they could lend them to Celtic fans from deprived background who can’t financially afford to see games in the stadium. Martin got in touch with his local church and together, when no Swiss is in town, they try to make poor people’s life brighter for 90 minutes.

If they sometimes lend our tickets to friends who need a ticket for a special game and can pay something in exchange, the money is always given to charity or food banks.

The Celtic FC was founded in 1888 by Brother Walfrid, a religious man who wanted to reduce the poverty amongst the Irish immigrants in Glasgow. His idea was to create a football club to use the money generated for charity purposes. The club has perpetrated this charitable tradition throughout the years and we, at the CSC Switzerland, are proud to take part in that project too by lending our season tickets.
