The Celtic allocations for our away games in the CL is very poor.
We will only allowed 1,500 in Warsaw,2,300 in Germany and only 1,800 in Madrid.
Our fans who travel everywhere will struggle with those numbers.
When the draw was made, I was encouraged Celtic would get a good allocation against Shakhter Donetsk and Real Madrid but it's not worked out.
I might take my son to Santa Ponsa for a few days to watch the Shakhter match, before he goes back to Uni.

As you are aware Buzz I've already booked my flights and accommodation for Germany and presumed we would have 4k-5k ticket allocation but to get hit with 2.3k is an absolute joke. Its the only time in going away for many a year I have not managed to get a ticket and as I posted earlier the fact they away end tickets have ended up on scalping website's really turns my stomach! If I don't manage to get an a ticket about a week before the game I'm just going to cancel my flights as not away go all that way to sit in a pub when I do that here!
Just because Real Madrid ( i know the Bernabau is under construction) and RB Leipzig have VERY poor away support in Europe doesn't mean that Celtic should be affected with away tickets. I understand Shakhtar in Warsaw with the locals etc getting on board to supprt them with the war going on.
When I went to see RB Leipzig at Celtic Park a few years ago there was lucky if there were 300 fans, they couldn't even sell out that tiny section!
Hopefully a Golden Ticket appears in a chocolate bar for myself for the away game! Fingers Crossed!

At least you got a bargain Mikey with booking early.
It would be worse if you waited another 30 minutes and paid 4 times as much.
I don’t fancy paying over the odds and going without a ticket.
We can go to Santa Ponsa from the Tuesday until the Friday for the same amount.
