Ticket chaos again and safety fears increase.

Last updated : 03 September 2006 By Jack Kennedy
The Celtic park ticketing and entry system has once AGAIN failed miserably and fans attending the Scotland game had serious entry problems. Although the SFA had said to arrive early many fans missed 4 goals due to being outside the ground trying to get in.

There is now a safety fear as Celtic fans arriving for the Champions league qualifiers may not be as patient as the Scotland fans and arriving 30 minutes early but still being outside when the Champions league music starts would be unbearable.

Although much of the commotion on Saturday was because of fans unfamiliarity with the system this was not the reason for the delays. Many fans were sent to the ticket office for duplicate tickets after the scanner would not work and fans had the misfortune to watch the goals going in while they were in the ticket office queue.


Celtic have not yet sorted out the entry system and have a duty of care to do so. The fans have shown great patience so far but if this fiasco happens on a champions league night there is a danger of crushing and possible injuries to supporters. Celtic you have been warned and you are liable for the safety of your paying customers. Get it sorted or revert to the old system. Technology is a fine thing but if even one fan gets injured because of the new system its not acceptable.

Have you had trouble getting in? Or is it just one or Two people out of Thousands?. let us know what gate/section you sit in and we will take it to Celtic on your behalf. Help us pinpoint the weakspots. Our messageboards are open
