Celtic responds to Green Brigade allegations regarding ticket prices in the wake of the suspension…

The Green Brigade has claimed that Celtic is still charging them for tickets even though they are not allowed to attend any games. Celtic has responded to this claim.

Last week, the fans’ group was barred from both Celtic Park and away games due to a string of “unacceptable behaviors.” The club sent emails to anyone who would be impacted by the decision, explaining the rationale behind it. It is thought that the club does not share their motives in supporting Palestine.

The Green Brigade were absent from their usual section in the north curve area of Parkhead during Celtic’s 2-1 victory over St Mirren last Wednesday night.

However, while they weren’t meant to be in Dingwall officially, a banner with the group’s logo on it appeared in the stands ahead of the win over Ross County at the weekend.

Today the ultras released a statement hitting out at the club with their latest claims. They stated that direct debits were still being taken by the club despite members of the group no longer being eligible to use their tickets for games during their suspension. They also highlighted this week’s trip to Madrid as an example of their members being left out of pocket.

This has been partly denied by the club, as they insist that nobody in the group had been granted a ticket for tomorrow’s game against Atletico Madrid, nor charged. However, they have recognised that reimbursements will be made to fans for home ticket suspensions.

A representative for Celtic stated: “The group did not receive any tickets for the Madrid match, nor did the club collect any payment.

“For all home matches where tickets are suspended, reimbursement will be offered and an update will be made to all supporters shortly.”

 

“This week, fans are losing hundreds of pounds on travel to Madrid for a game they are banned from,” the Green Brigade said in a statement. Furthermore, the PLC still accepts direct debit payments for matches that fans are temporarily prohibited from attending, and there has been no additional correspondence with the impacted fans.
