That's probably corporate hospitality box prices - "category 1 seating"
makes it sound like that - either that or some fuckwit is paying 300 quid
for a seat in the stands ... here's the *real* pricing ...

Just in case you need to register to see that celticfc.net page, SPL game
ticket prices for Celtic games are £25 for adults, £14 for under 16s and
over 65s. I paid £20 walking up to the park for a Celtic SPL home game last
season (got it from a guy outside selling his ticket, no, not a tout!) and
about £35 from the ticket office for a Celtic UEFA cup match at home.
Oh, for a season ticket ...
btw, apparently corporate hospitality isn't all that it's cracked up to be,
not at Parkhead anyway - no colours to be worn, no shouting, no swearing ...
I mean I know you get nosh and booze but the best part of going to see a
Scottish football match is screaming at the referee / opposing team / player
on your team who's just fucked up that he's a fecking this and a fooking
that at the top of your lungs, hoops scarf around your neck, mince pie in
one hand and plastic cup of bovril in the other ... :)
