Celtic fans have unleashed their fury on the board once more after it was confirmed that season tickets would once again rise.

The Hoops fanbase have regularly clashed with the ownership this season in what has been a brutal campaign.

The Old Firm club could end the season without a trophy, with Hearts on track to win the Scottish Premiership at present.

With Champions League qualification also hanging in the balance, and fans more disillusioned with the club than ever, the board have seen this moment as wise to raise season ticket prices.

As a result, this has not gone down well with the Celtic fanbase outraged with the board.

Celtic season tickets receive price hike

On Friday, it was announced that the season ticket renewal window had opened, ready for the 2026-27 campaign.

However, with it came a price increase, with adult tickets starting from £626, up from £608 last year, an £18 increase.

On top of this, over-65 tickets have risen by £11 to £387, and student prices are now being placed at £405, a £31 increase.

While the price of an under-13 ticket remains the same at £50, this is not enough to satisfy supporters, who are furious.

Taking to X, they insist that the board are ”tone deaf” as they continue to showcase their anger.

We have Celtic’s future on our minds, the board only want our money. No strategy, plans or vision offered.

Riddle me this Mr Celtic, why should ANY Celtic fan spend £700+ of their hard earned money on renewing season tickets when you can’t even do the the most basic of jobs, such as at least giving us an idea of who our new manager will be, or at least sign half decent players?

Predictable disgrace. Everyone needs to hold off and not renew.

This is a disgrace. Seasons not done. No doubt ticket prices are rising

There is absolutely no reason for you lot to put the ticket prices up just pure greed on the boards behalf.

And not investing in the team properly either its quite insulting

Will Celtic’s relationship with the board be repaired anytime soon?

Former Aberdeen chief executive Keith Wyness exclusively told Football Insider that Celtic’s new fan trust will lead to more divisions.

Using his previous experience from the Dons, he believes that the initiative will simply not work.

Fronted by former non-executive director Lord Willie Haughey, and backed by former Celtic midfielder Paul McStay, the move is designed to give a fan a voice on the board.

It also intends to raise £2million for Celtic for every 10,000 season ticket holders who sign up, with Haughey believing it will help heal a frustrated fan base.

The Hoops need to fix the fracture between the fanbase and the board if they are going to become the top team in Scotland once more.

If not, it could be yet another season of hardship for the Old Firm club, especially if Rangers are able to put together a good window in the summer.
