    Think this is a * joke tbh I can't believe it's 20 quid myself... This should be free again I would rather have had this than Saturdays game! They then should have charged around this price for the 3rd one!

    It just shows the interest is there with he amount at the cliftonville game when it was a freebee! Don't get me wrong the time we have had to purchase these is very much a shambles! I think they should have pre sold them before the 1st qualifier was finished

    The Helsinki game last year was in the season ticket. This is them trying to recoup the season ticket reductions.

    They are champions of Sweden but they are currently 9 points behind Helsingborgs. Even though they aren't doing so hot in their league right now the fact that they are halfway through their season (and play on artificial turf) gives them an advantage over us in this tie before a ball is kicked.

    As somebody else says its not like we * need it! Am going I just think the way it has been dealt with is shocking its also awkward for guys who travel further afield we play again on Saturday so what one are they going to come for if they can't afford it obviously Saturday! In saying that there's enough fans in glasgow who could easilyl turn up!
    In no way am I expecting it to sell out but anything less than 40 k I would be hugely disappointed !

    1 we shouldn't even have had to play any of these qualifiers !
    2 we have had a week to purchase these tickets
    3 it should be free
    4it was badly delt with should have sold tickets prior to the second game v cliftonville with the other two teams printed on the ticket !
    5 our support are glory hunting big game *!

    And don't take number 5 and twist it to oh people have family's people have no money I have stated that people from further a field will probably choose Saturday as its free! No problem with that I personally know people who are a deciding wether to go or not not due to money it's a sick and * attitude! I personally can't wait till tomorrow I'm taking the night off work and borrowing the money to go to this game why can't others do the same?

    Also these people who in the group stages fork out 30 to sometimes 45 quid for a ticket !

    Selling them before the tie was officially over? Extremely disrespectful.to our opponents. There has been plenty of time to buy them. Takes 2 minues.

    We should have to play these qualifiers. We have been * * in europe over the last five years. Our country (and club) coefficient is * and that is partly Celtics fault. You don't get a free pass into the CL on the back of one good season.

    I am sure you are just a passionate Celtic man but your coming across badly. I'm not having a go I just don't think you realize where we are in Europe atm. We done great to qualify for the group stages last season. To get to the last 16 was a major achievement. Celtic have only participated in the CL 7 times ! We have never been a CL regular. Our aim year in year out is to qualify for the group stages. It is no easy task.

    I won't be able to make the game, and you shouldn't really expect te attendance to be anything over 30 k because we only had 1 week to sell tickets, and for people who work shifts, they don't have time do organise a day off for the game.

    There is nothing Snidey about my remarks. You are being incredibly arrogant assuming we will get to the playoffs. I genuinely hope your on here tomorrow night if we pump them telling me you were right. However if a disaster ensues I expect we won't here from you for some time.

    What you are saying now is wrong. Last year when you met Helsingborg lay them sixth in the Swedish league and had lost some players after they won the gold. Elfsborg teams ranked stronger than Helsingborgs last year of all the experts here in Sweden

    does that mean we should only expect a 3-0 aggregate win instead of 4-0?

    For a qualifier it's a bit ridiculous, I still paid it like a mug though. I think it's £24 for non season ticket holders as well. It won't be a surprise if it's a * turnout.

    £22 for non season ticket holders.

    Considering I paid £29 to see us vs Hibs last year it's better than I though :56:

    Celtic had a lot of luck in the first match against Helsingborg. Then in the second game, they were already over before the game started. Under normal circumstances it should Helsingborg won the first game 3-1. Just check the statistics from the first game and you will see that I am right. I am not a supporter elfsborg I'm rooting for the Swedish team Djurgården. But quite honestly Elfsborg team is slightly better than the Helsingborg you met last year. Have you not as lucky in the away game elr playing much better than last year, will you go on the lost away from home
