With the UEFA Champions League fixtures now confirmed, Celtic supporters are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the club’s three-match ticket packages.
The Hoops have been drawn into a tantalising Group E, featuring Feyenoord, Lazio, and Atletico Madrid. As anticipation builds, the question on every fan’s mind is: “How much will it cost to witness these encounters at Celtic Park?”
Last Season’s Benchmark
Before diving into speculations, let’s take a look at last season’s ticket package prices for Season Ticket Holders (STH):
- Adult: £129
- Concession: £99
- Under 13: £90
These prices served as the baseline for fans who wanted to experience the magic of European nights at Celtic Park. But given the high-profile nature of this season’s group-stage opponents, could we see an increase?
Factors That Could Influence Pricing
- Opponents: With the likes of Lazio and Atletico Madrid coming to town, the allure of these fixtures is undeniable. This on its own wouldn’t justify a price hike. After all, we had Real Madrid in town last season.
- Inflation and Operational Costs: The general economic climate and increased operational costs could also play a role in determining the new prices. Season Ticket prices crept up ever so slightly this season.
- Fan Demand: Celtic Park is renowned for its electric atmosphere, especially on European nights. High demand means the club can be confident no matter the price, it’s likely going to be oversubscribed.
Speculative Price Estimates
Given these factors, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a moderate increase in ticket prices for the upcoming Champions League campaign. Here are some speculative estimates:
- Adult: £139-£149
- Concession: £109-£119
- Under 13: £95-£105
These are purely speculative figures, but they offer a ballpark range that takes into account both the allure of this season’s fixtures and the economic factors that could influence pricing.
As of now, the club has not made any official announcements regarding the Champions League ticket packages for this season. However, given the excitement surrounding Celtic’s group stage draw, it’s only a matter of time before the details are revealed.
So, Celtic fans, keep your eyes peeled. Whether it’s a modest increase or a price freeze, the chance to witness the Hoops take the Champions League is priceless.
