Where have they mentioned secondary seller? They haven't outlined the exact reason behind why they sent the letter, which they probably should have, but I honestly can't understand the outrage over this letter.
I'd say there is a wide range of reasons why the letter has been sent out tbh.

Adults entering with concession tickets
Fans with other peoples tickets causing bother
Tickets for Bayern appearing on stub hub etc for 3-4x the price
Ques of folk at TO before a CL game this season because of turnstile issues and a lot of them weren't the named season ticket holder which meant it took ages to sort out and some fans missed the start of the game

It's a general letter letting people know that you are responsible for your ticket. If you give it to an arsehole and they cause bother your ticket will be removed. Like you said - I can't believe the outrage over it either. All Celtic are doing is covering their own backs
:thumbsup:
And just to add... I find the fag-packet maths by Matt McGlone on twitter about 29k in postage costs outstanding. People are genuinely pissed off at the board over postage costs. :lol:

Guy on twitter saying his nephew was turned away from the ticket office vs Bayern because his ST wouldn't work and he didn't have ID to prove he was a concession ticket.

I'm guessing this is the only time ID will be needed.

JP's doing a wee bit of backtracking on Twitter. Says it's mainly down to the adult/concession thing and it should have been worded differently. Think the ticket manager woman has gone a wee bit above herself and it's backfired. Apologised for any upset caused.
He’s not backtracking at all. He’s politely explaining the reasoning behind the letter to a bunch of arrogant mock offended arseholes.

The principle of the letter is ridiculous.

Going down the route of folk having to use secondary sellers to use season tickets. Absolute joke.


Did we all get different letters ?

:ponder:

My letter didn't mention secondary sellers.

It didn't mention it. Man United started this way a few years ago and now all their tickets are handled through secondary sellers and if you miss home games you are ineligible for away games.

This is the board misjudging the support. Again.
You can't have a go at something the club hasn't actually done or said! You are just getting het up over something that is no different today than it was last week!

Quick question - I’ll be taking a concession to the Aberdeen game using my mates adult ticket. The stewards won’t react to that eh? Only the other way about, an adult gaining entry with a concession ticket
Technically they should as it's a clear breach of t&c's but they won't. I would surmise that Celtic have to date instructed stewards only to act when an adult uses a concession ticket. Certainly only examples I have heard of anyone being caught was this.

If you are concerned try the lounge entrances at corner of north stand at either ll or js stand. Make of that what you will...
You don't need a lounge pass to access these turnstiles.
There aren't turnstyles at the executive entrances but you do need to either show your lounge pass or a letter that shows you are entitled to use the lift.
They still have scanners that you scan your card with and these show whether you are allowed to enter or not.

The club should have bought the tickets themselves off stubhub if they were available and then ban whoever sold it.

Can't stand people who sell on tickets for anything above printed cost plus expenses for printing/postage etc.

The club obviously felt they needed to take a line on the issue for all of the reasons mentioned.

It does seem counter productive in one sense though when they are as good as saying that it won't be enforced for the vast majority of cases. That's because the vast majority of cases are completely harmless, and almost impossible for Celtic to detect or enforce. Because it is simply an adult using another adult's season ticket for a game, sitting minding their own business not causing any bother whatsoever.

Given my circumstances, my dad or my brother uses my season ticket basically 14 games a season. It is as much their season ticket as mine, but historically it is in my name.

So in that sense, it is sledgehammer to crack a nut, but I don't suppose they could have worded the letter much differently, without looking lax on that issue and not using wording that is compliant with their own and the SPFL's terms and conditions.

They have every right to enforce against adults trying to use concessions, but they are only as good as their worst steward in that case, and there are quite a few of them in all honesty.

They also have every right to try and stop this reprint nonsense causing queues in the ticket office. That's the problem with technology though. From a season ticket holder base of 53,000 on any given home matchday a good number are not going to work because they've been placed up against a debit card in a wallet, or otherwise damaged in some way. Been there myself. Common sense from a turnstile operator as opposed to a machine probably makes that go away, but hey ho, that's not happening.

Think they might have stated that something like this was coming on the website and social media in advance, as well as make an announcement at a recent home game. To get it out the blue just gets peoples backs up unnecessarily, whether its warranted or not.

It seemed unnecessarily alarmist, and it follows the recent pointless hygiene letters going out that simply brought ridicule on the club. You'd think they'd realise there are ways of dealing with this after that debacle. Even make a regular scripted announcement at a game immediately following the "club open to all" patter or the police message.

Why not just send a letter to all concession season ticket holders 'reminding' them it was for concessions only rather than cause all this fuss?

A lot of problems are down to "day-trippers". Folk buying season books for the day. Being mad with it and not going through turnstile correctly. Going to ticket office asking for reprint but not being season ticket holder the ticket office can't help. Said folk then shouting and bawling. I was in for Anderlecht game picking up tickets and some absolute zoomers shouting off.

Celtic are clearly (and in my opinion correctly) putting the responsibility on the season ticket holder.
