Celtic Park Set for Champions League Play-Off as LASK Tickets Go Public
Tickets for the biggest home fixture of the season so far are now available to all supporters, with Celtic Park set to host LASK in a crucial Champions League play-off first leg.
Celtic have confirmed that tickets for next week’s UEFA Champions League play-off against Austrian champions LASK are now on general sale to all supporters, according to an official club statement. The first leg takes place at Celtic Park on Wednesday, August 19, with kick-off at 8pm.
This is exactly the kind of night Paradise was built for. A place in the group stage of Europe’s premier competition is on the line, and after the club’s official announcement went out, the doors are now open to the wider support rather than just season ticket holders and priority members.
Tickets are available online only, priced at £39 for adults and £28 for concessions, with a £1.60 per ticket booking fee applied to this fixture. Fans hoping for accessible seating should note that this goes on sale separately to AS waiting list members from 11am on Thursday, August 13.
Digital Account Now Required
One important administrative point supporters need to be aware of: you now need a Celtic FC Digital Account to purchase and manage tickets online. The club says this change is designed to improve the online experience and make it more secure, and full guidance on making the switch is available directly through the club’s ticketing pages.
Anyone caught out by the new sign-in process at the last minute is going to have a miserable time of it on a night like this, so it’s worth sorting well in advance of matchday rather than leaving it to the Tuesday before kick-off.
What’s at Stake
This is the tie that decides whether Celtic reach the group stage of the Champions League this season, and the size of that prize – both on the pitch and financially – hardly needs spelling out to anyone who has followed this club through lean European campaigns and rich ones alike. Supporters looking for more detail on the fixture itself, including kick-off arrangements and broadcast information, can find further coverage of the Celtic vs LASK Champions League play-off.
There’s also wider context worth reading on exactly what’s at stake in the LASK play-off for Celtic this season, along with a look at the UEFA rule changes affecting this year’s play-off round.
For those wanting the full matchday experience, the club’s recently refurbished Number 7 Restaurant offers hospitality packages from £325 plus VAT, including a champagne reception and four-course meal with padded executive seating overlooking the pitch, bookable directly through the club’s hospitality team.
Get those tickets sorted, get your digital account squared away, and get down to Paradise. Mon The Hoops.
