Visiting Celtic Park on Match Day

Celtic FC tickets are available through the official Celtic FC website at celticfc.com. For most Scottish Premiership home fixtures, tickets are available to the general public — though popular matches sell out quickly.

Celtic operate a tiered membership scheme. Non-members can purchase tickets for most fixtures, but availability is limited and sold on a first-come, first-served basis after members have had access.

For Old Firm matches against Rangers, tickets are essentially unavailable without an existing membership or Season Ticket. If attending a derby is your goal, plan 6–12 months in advance and explore membership options via the Celtic FC website.

International visitors should note that Celtic have a significant global fanbase — matches against major European opponents in the Champions League or Europa League sell out extremely quickly.

Celtic Park is at Celtic Park, Glasgow G40 3RE, in the Parkhead area of the east end of Glasgow.

• By bus: The 61, 62, and 64 services run from the city centre directly to Parkhead — around 20 minutes. This is the recommended option for most visitors.
• By train: Dalmarnock station on the Argyle Line is a 15-minute walk. London Road station is also nearby.
• By car: Parking is available near the stadium but fills quickly. Arrive at least 90 minutes before kick-off if driving. The stadium is accessed from Janefield Street off Springfield Road.
• By taxi: Around £8–12 from the city centre, 15 minutes depending on traffic.

The area around Celtic Park has several traditional supporters' pubs that fill up from early afternoon on match days.

• The Brazen Head: London Road, one of the most popular Celtic pubs in the east end. Busy from early on match days, good atmosphere, serves food.
• Parkhead Cross: The crossroads area around Parkhead has several bars worth exploring. Arrive early on big match days as they fill up fast.
• The Celtic FC Sports Bar: Inside the stadium via the Kerrydale Suite entrance. Open to all with a match ticket. The easiest option if you want to stay close to the ground.

Note: Celtic Park is a cashless venue. All transactions inside the stadium — including food, drink, and merchandise — require a card. Make sure you have one with you.

Gates open approximately 90 minutes before kick-off. The area around Parkhead Cross gets very busy in the hour before the match — allow extra time if travelling by bus.

Security checks at Celtic Park are thorough. Do not bring large bags. All bags are subject to inspection on entry. The stadium operates a strict prohibited items policy — check the Celtic FC website before you travel.

The meeting point for stadium tours — the Celtic FC Sports Bar via the Kerrydale Suite — is also the main entrance point for most match day supporters, so it can get congested. Follow signage carefully to find your correct turnstile.

Celtic Park is famous for its atmosphere. The Green Brigade — Celtic's organised supporter section in the north curve — leads the singing from before kick-off. On European nights particularly, the noise is extraordinary.

Lionel Messi has described Celtic Park as one of the most atmospheric grounds he has ever played in. Standing inside with 60,000 supporters in full voice, you understand why.

The stadium is all-seater. Away supporters are accommodated in a section behind one of the goals — check your ticket carefully for your correct entrance.

London Road gets very busy immediately after the final whistle. If taking the bus back to the city centre, expect delays for 20–30 minutes after the match ends. The pubs around Parkhead remain busy for an hour or more.

If you want to avoid the post-match crowds, walk 15 minutes to Dalmarnock station and take the train — it is usually less busy than the bus routes immediately after the final whistle.

If you can't get match day tickets, the Celtic Park stadium tour gives behind-the-scenes access to the Trophy Room (including the 1967 European Cup), the home dressing room, the players' tunnel, and pitchside — areas that are off-limits on match days.
