Celtic ticket exchange scheme

[tommybhoy8881]

Been talk about it for years but Celtic need to introduce this ticket exchange scheme (selling tickets back to club that you can’t make) similar to the big teams in England the huns and even hearts…our stadium has always got spare seats except games against them and also group stage games and maybe last couple games of season
I understand not many folk want to give season ticket to strangers etc so this ticket scheme would benefit the club and more importantly the supporters who pay for season ticket and can’t make game and also the fans who can’t get ticket because it’s a sell out even tho they could be up to 3 thousand empty seats per game
Club makes more cash the season ticket holders can get some money back even if a portion goes to the Celtic foundation charity …back in the day on walk to parkhead u would see loads of folk would hold up the ticket vouchers and people would buy them etc but you can’t do that now because it’s a card that’s why you see more empty seats since they got rid of the book vouchers (Celtic park should be full every game especially when it’s near impossible to buy tickets for most games)

Far too sensible an idea for our board to implement. Their excuse is that it would affect the sale of the 5k tickets that are available to purchase for each home game.
Nicholson had said last summer that they were looking at doing something with Ticketmaster, didn't specify what, but hasn't been mentioned since.

Aye there excuses are bulllshit mate the 5k always sells out and people miss out so if a few hunner or couple of thousand went up for sale from season tickets then they would sell (even if you couldn’t do it until the 5k got sold first)….that’s why the big clubs in England you don’t see a spare seat because they have this sort of thing in place ….think it was the Norwich or Blackburn friendly it was a sell out and it was about 20 thousand at most in stadium

Tickets should go to season ticket supporters on the waiting list first and foremost and fuck ticketmaster and the other sharks. Real names on seats is how club liability works if in place., fan and club each with responsibility for liable actions

Hope if Hearts get through, and providing we don't draw the huns, we get them, as the one thing that is certain is Aberdeen will not lie down to the huns.

I would love this to be set up because I can never get a fecking ticket every time I come home. It is even more annoying to then see all the empty seats at the ground when i watch the game.

Mate it’s crazy I know loads who can’t get tickets then when I go to game you see spares all the time …Dundee game I had loads around me empty….st Johnstone is a sell out and it won’t be full capacity

True above the above with a lot of grounds. Especially early cup rounds

Our problem is tho it’s nearly every game out with the derby and Europe and trophy day …would be massive help too with Irish fans who can’t make it to every game

I guess there is no incentive really. The board don’t care because the tickets are sold and they have banked the cash. They have no incentive to pay for an exchange. I only get to see Celtic when they are shite - i managed it a few times when Delia was in charge . The way things are going I’ll make it no problem next season mind you

No they do make extra mate as they take 50
Percent cut if they re sell the ticket so they have already sold the seat plus get 50 percent extra once it’s re sold also that’s extra pie juice and match day program sold too

It is crazy that this has not been implemented yet. This is desperately wanted by fans and isn't exactly a groundbreaking idea - there are many successful business models we can copy from other clubs.

Not only does it create a better atmosphere for the team, but there will be more sales of the scrumptious delicacies from the food kiosks and merchandise from the club shop.

The club could even make a small profit by including a small (£5?) handling fee on top of the ticket cost to cover the extra expenses in setting up and operating the system.

It is a win-win situation for club and fans.

I need to double check but I’m sure clubs that do it get 50 percent of the money but also the 50 percent the fan gets it needs to be spent at club shop or goes towards your season ticket the following season so club makes a fortune with it anyway mate
