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.

  11. Very good news about a much liked poster on here, don’t know the man but someone I know respects him enormously. That’ll do for me.

     

    Quiet night in tonight, would love to be at Swinecastle on Sunday but have family priorities and then off to Manchester on a Sunday night.

     

    Glad to see the MSM still spinning furiously about their favourite bunch of bigots. Anyone know if they are selling any half season tickets over Govan way? HH

    Very sad news. So sorry to hear about Derry’s passing. I don’t have any pets but since I joined Facebook a few years ago, I have come to realise that for many of my mates and others on Facebook, pets and dogs in particular are not just pets but are part of the family. I wish you all the best for the future.

  13. 67Ecw-so Gerry is abroad?so I’m obviously getting him mixed up with his brother up in carrigans,where coincidentally is where my wife is tonight on her works night out:-)))

  14. MIT.

     

    Ach. So sorry to hear your sad news.

     

    You could tell from your posts how much Derry meant to you.

     

    Take care.

     

    Hail Hail
