    I've got family visiting from Italy in February. 8 of them and they're desperate to see a Celtic game when they're over. It's only Juve home and Inverness away fixtures whilst they're over. I know there's little to no chance for the Juve game but was wondering what the best way would be to going about getting tickets for either game. I've not had a season ticket for a few years so I'm not on the way registration either. Any help would be appreciated.

    Seeing as your family are in Italy maybe best to try and ask Juventus for a ticket for the game in Glasgow. ICT away will be difficult but best option may be to buy a ticket in the away section direct from ICT.

    I asked them about the Juve end but their relationship with them is like ours with rangers, they refused to sit beside them.

    To be perfectly honest mate, theres no chance you'll get 8 tickets to either of these games

    As above, you have less than no chance of getting 9 (8 plus you) tickets for either game.

    Youd be easier for Juve, but it'll cost you big bucks.

    Getting 6 numbers on the lottery will be easier!

    ICT is one of the hardest games of all to get a ticket for and for the record they DONT sell tickets directly to us for the away end!

    Your only option is to contact ICT direct and play the "foreigner" card and try and get tickets in the home stands as they are never full

    Good luck

    The ICT game in August had tons and tons of tickets going outside the ground. Our bus had 3 or 4 and really struggled to get them shifted. Doubt you would want to go up there without a ticket in your hand first but it is always an option.

    Best bet would be Thomas cook its nearly 200 squid for a ticket and 1 nights stay at a hotel. Which is probably okay considering most tickets that get sold on for this game will be about 300 squid or more

    Thanks thats worth knowing for future reference as a few times I thought about going up without a ticket...mind you Ive been ticketless to Swinecastle a few times with no bother so ICT should hold no fear

    Probably the train fare and long walk that puts me off :)

    While undoubtedly some will move on for inflated prices and some season ticket holders will see the opportunity to make an easy buck or two, I'd hope most go for face value. Anyone that willingly pays over the odds for a ticket frankly I have no sympathy for.

    As for Thomas Cook, they and their prices for this (never mind the rest) are nothing short of disgusting. They were charging £399 for a Juventus match ticket plus one night stay at the Radisson Hotel. Shameful that Celtic are in bed with a company that is ripping off Celtic supporters, however loose that term is, to this extraordinary extent.
