When does CP Open?

Hi Folks, looking for a wee bit of help!

I'm taking my wee bhoy to his first game against St Johnstone, usually I just get there 5/10 mins before kick off but want to avoid the rush this time. Does anyone know how long before kick off the gates open.

Cheers.

 

Think it's normally around 90 minutes before kick-off.

 

Good lord people go through the gates that early? I'm usually not even in the Parkhead area until about 30 minutes before kick off.

 

think its an hour before kick off

 

On matchdays gates open about an hour before ko mate. Seeing as it's your boy's first visit if affordable consider taking in the stadium tour and make it really special for your son.

You have to pre book but pretty sure they run the tour even on match days. Do the tour early and you'll easily avoid the crowds.

 

Brilliant - thanks for the help everyone

 

I might be wrong but i'm sure you dont get tours on matchday

 

I was the first one in the park with my son as was at the pictures at the forge with him beforehand ( sunderland pre season game) the turnstiles opened at 2pm

 

I'm positive they do mate, sure I read not long ago on the official website they have tours on Sat and Sundays although obviously only at certain times, I imagine you could get a morning/midday tour on Saturday then take in the game (where we win the league) just after!

 

Tour Times

To experience Celtic take one of our guided tours available from Monday to Sunday 11am, 12 noon, 1.45pm and 2.30pm (except home matchdays).

Saturday Matchday tours now available at 9.30, 10.00, 10.30 and 11.00
I stand corrected

 

I would say around half one. My bus gets in just after 1pm and the shutters are half up normally.

 

I usually arrive half an hour before the teams arrive and usually the turnstiles open 90 minutes before kick off.
