Thought there was a UEFA price thing that can't go over?

lol. Celtic, the people's club!

The champions league is just a money making scheme for the rich. It’s never really been about the football.

To be fair, they aren't the people.

Probably is to the fans of the teams in it.

[Glory Lurker]

They should pipe down. Imagine how much they'd have to pay if they didn't have to stand behind a pillar.

[Hibernia&Alba]

It’s obviously scandalous, but clubs know the demand is there. The Champions League is the best club competition in the world, and fans will pay it. The clubs involved, especially the bigger ones, can profiteer.

Celtic are guaranteed €32m this year before they've kicked a ball and ticket is sold, that's without factoring in Any points the win (€2.8m a win and €930k a draw)

They're selling their 3 Match package for £138 to season ticket holders and think non season ticket holders will have to pay £183 for them, and that'll be full to the brim too, they'll probably pocket about €40m in total from it even if they got pumped six times.

UEFA have well and truly ******ed over smaller nation leagues, there's not much chance of ever catching them again domestically and I'm sure there's another dozen leagues like ours facing a similar situation, the best we can hope for is someone (anyone) to knock them out of a cup and we can all go for it.

The Huns can barely compete with them even with all the living outwith their means they do, so god knows how anyone realistically expects anyone else to ever do it again.

Utterly depressing.

Agree £138 for three games isn't exactly cheap either. If fans can afford to travel over from Spain and likely pay for accommodation, I doubt if paying about £15 more than home fans for a ticket will trouble them too much.

[DH1875]

How much they charging both sets of fans for the game in Madrid? Bet its not far off the same price.

Just checked the exchange rate. 70 Euros is £60.15.
So if Celtc are charging £61 they would appear to be breaching.

Scandalous anyway. The self proclaimed champions of the downtrodden.

[The Modfather]

To play devils advocate. If we were up to £31 for conference league qualifiers, against Villa, is £61 that out of sync for the champions league group stage? Certainly in Scotland anyway we’re all, generally, vastly overcharged for ticket prices IMO.

It does look depressing when you look at it that way but look at what Leicester achieved, miracles can happen in football. Good coaching and bringing through as much youth as we can should be our objective, we're due a golden generation soon anyway.

I'd settle for one academy graduate establishing himself in the first team every two years. I think that would be a very satisfactory return from our youth system.

Golden generations where four or five break through at once are incredibly rare.

Totally agree mate. The last part of my reply was more tongue in cheek than anything else
