Edinburgh again, Ticket Office Blues

635

While Celtic are in the middle of a month with six home games, we face Hearts on Sunday on their eighth consecutive home game and tenth game on the trot in Edinburgh. Runs of games like this do you no favours in the long run, but they provide pockets or benefit.

Training schedules for Hearts have been perfect during this period, without needing to factor in a trip to Dingwall, for example. Game plans will have been consistent and clear. There will be modifications for the visit of the champions, but we will face a team who are as ready as they could be for the challenge.

This letter from the Ticket Office:

Like many of you, I have several season tickets in my wallet right now. They are not always used by the named person (Martin42 has been unable to use his ticket since August (!) due to injury).

I have not been in touch with the club, so can only wonder what “the Celtic Ticket Office is not obliged to provide information about the named Season Ticket Holder to any third party” could be about. It is an obscure reference, as is “in all cases relating to Season Tickets photo ID is required”.

Letters like this are never produced purely to irritate, there will be an issue to be addressed. It will not be a mean-spirited attempt to stop you taking a friend to the occasional game – which we all do.

But if the issue is serious enough to write to all season ticket holders: explain, explain, explain.  It’s not just the perma-rage-against-the-man-types (you don’t know who you are, so don’t bother wondering) who are troubled by this, some will be reluctant in future to invite a friend along to Celtic Park on a spare ticket.

Lessons learned, I’m sure.

  1. It’s still not been made clear why the ‘letter’ was sent. And JPTs subsequent statement further confuses the issue. For the purpose of clarification it would be helpful to know if we are or if we are not allowed to do what millions of other football season ticket holders all over the world are allowed to do ?

  2. BMCUWP,

     

     

    after Trumpets election….am no sure that hits the real scary heights…..am curious how you can become a judge in America without being a serious litigator tho…..

     

     

    If you want real scary….thanks to whoever on here who bumped….Last Week Tonight with John Oliver…..it’s an eye opener….

    I interpret the “non transferable” part of the T & Cs as meaning permanently….continue to borrow or loan as required ;-))

    I could be incorrect but was it not about non-concessions using concession tickets ?

     

     

    The club had to earn every ST holder

  5. The money spent sending that ridiculous letter to thousands of ST holders would have been better spent on helping the homeless. Hh

  6. Haw u GFTB….get aff my moon howling ;-))

     

     

    AoW…my first walkman experience….is a cheat….it was an mp4 mini-disc recorder/player…..album was The Doves….what’s a cassette?…..only joking….I’ve got vague memories of a bright yellow waterproof walkman knockoff…..no memory of the first tune tho ;-))

    It would have been better spent pissing it down a drain,a real slap in the face for many of our Irish friends,for a start.

     

     

    Very poor PR from PL.

    I’ll have a good long look,there’s a really nice JD beside me.

     

     

    Tenner a litre from my mate.

    I take it he’ll be moaning if his ethnic racial slur at 1020pm is deleted in the morning

     

     

    —————————————————-

     

     

    Are you interpreting Diego as Daygo…..who’s the racist….

     

     

    sorry mods

  11. BMCUWP

     

     

    Don’t believe the press, minimum pricing is a myth

     

     

    On alcohol content whisky and vodka could end up cheaper :-)

    The man that takes a punt on setting up a booze hyper market in Carlisle or Berwick in preparation for minimum pricing in Scotland could retire in 18 months. :-)

    You know,I’ve thought about that anaw.

     

     

    I’m quaffing a can that cost less than 56p. Minimum pricing is roughky 95p.

     

     

    Etcetera,as Yul said.

     

     

    Back in Kilwinning,I could get a deal-many of us did-from a fella that had travelled 500 miles and taken a ferry and back.

     

     

    Carlisle? Piece of piss.

  14. Am I the only conspiracy theorists that wonder about Morgan Stern being associated with all the banking havoc….dunno why we should be surprised….it means Morning Star…..the bringer of light and knowledge to the shady world of banking ;-))

    Don’t do it. Gerry and me, both face the Brig, didnit recently and needed people like your good self to entice us back. The blog needs you and you enjoy posting. Deletions are annoying but just forget it and stay among like minded individuals who all support Celtic.

  21. GFTB, expect nothing less from a Tim but cheers anyway mate , ps give me a clue who your blantir friend is . Hitting my cot now !

  22. BMCUWP,

     

     

    Hunderbirds has a good idea…..am still no convinced minimum alcohol unit pricing will be implemented…..he sais googling warehouse price letting/building….just south of the border ;-))

    My mate from Blantir is around 50 his initials are SH, he could kick a ball, his young cousin who I met before him follows Celtic everywhere, worked with both of them and met Ph at Pittodrie more than jerk :-) PH is a very good friend of BT on here

    I was more annoyed at myself but after a few days you realise what you have lost :-)

     

     

    Far too much good stuff on this blog to get wrapped up in the rubbish :-)

     

     

    Your tutu didn’t do me any favours :-)

  25. BMCUW

     

    A bevvy in the Market sounds good mhate any time your back up here in God ‘s country ! I’m quite partial to a Guinness or 3 in there ! HH !!

    It’s actually Blantyre :-)

     

     

    I think that annoys them more than Coatbridge annoys Coatbrig punters :-)

    Looks like there suffering knows no end.

     

    Just home from a few lageros at the local holstery to be told by Mrs Malvinas that a Celtic supporter has won a BBC dancing competition.

     

    If the famous Glasgow Celtic win tomorrow it’s going to be another great weekend !

  28. itscalledthemalvinas on

    Monkey in work told me on Friday that the smelly Hun who said that “the big hoose must stay open” has left the building is now spinning in hell ! (from one bad place to another)

  29. ITSCALLEDTHEMALVINAS,

     

     

    Out of order and not befitting of a Celtic supporter! I hope the moderators remove this vile shit!

  30. ITSCALLEDTHEMALVINAS

     

     

    A person’s choice if football team and/or religion doesn’t give them a one way ticket to hell.

     

     

    Have a think, for crying out loud

    Scary that you think there’s actually a hell and your choice of football team dictates your place in it
