I emailed the Celtic ticket office but got no reply.
Ive flight booked so hopefully I'll gt a ticket
What a weekend its gonna be. Hibs winning the Scottish Cup on the Saturday, and Ireland stuffing celtic on the Sunday. Can't wait, flights booked already :D
tickets won't be a problem for a testimonial.
On sale already to Celtic Season Ticket Holders or World Huddle Members.
General sale from Mon 4th April.
However, FAI should get a decent allocation so can always try there also.
Cheers Junior, have noticed in the past that you can always answer these questions, should go for a job at FAI ticketing, more help than they are!!Quote:

the premierlodge at George square or Charing Cross are good options. £50GBP for a twin.
Its strange that the game is on the day after the final, which celtic will almost certainly be in.
Its hard to imagine them being in much mood for the Ireland game the day after losing to Hibs in the cup...

Good man, you going to the match this weekend?
A few of us coming over from Dublin.
SUNSHINE ON LEITH :D :D
Ya, looking forward to it, reckon we should go well, Celtic haven't been at their best lately. They might be in for a surprise!
No Glass or Boozy, but we should still have a strong enough midfield
Bring on the Cabbage & Ribs :D :D
4 of us booked up, looking forward to it! Never been to Parkhead, always looks impressive on da telly. Any suggestions on where to watch the cup final the day before?
If its your first time up, then somewhere on the Gallowgate (close to city centre) would be good for bars of the celtic persuasion 'Bairds Bar' full of Memorabilia, 'Bar67', 'The Hoops Bar' or you could try 'The Brazen Head' a big Celtic pub in the Gorbals http://www.brazen-head.co.uk/indexf.htm again good for memorabilia etc...- These will all be mobbed so get there for opening time or as near to it as you can!!Quote:

If your not in to the celtic thing, there will be plenty of pubs in the city centre showing it that will bea bit quieter.
EDIT
Sorry should clarify these will all be mobbed IF Celtic are in the final
Was in Parkhead Tuesday and you could buy the tickets for the game there and then.
£21 a pop
I am not sure that is the case but if anyone wants to double check you can call them on 0870 060 1888. I believe they were only selling certain stands to see what demand would be like, if they are selling quick then maybe they have opened up all the stands and a general sale, though they haven't updated the website if that is the case.Quote:

Myself and 3 others are heading to it. Noticed some others mention it on another thread. Will be good to see who gets a run before the Israrel game, but with the scots cup final the day before (and provided celtic are in it) I don't fancy very good opposition!Quote:

Just because I'm Irish, and live in Scotland, do you think that should automatically make me a Celtic supporter, especially as I live in Edinburgh? (and yes I could afford the bus fare if I wished, but I don't want to :) )
Every team is going to have a few idiot supporters, especially a team from a city of this size. But even then there was more disruption from Celtic fans during a minutes silence for the Queen mother a few years ago than there was from Hibs fans on Saturday (Obviously I'm not condoning either set of supporters actions).
Also it paled into insignificance in comparison to the actions of many Hearts fans on Sunday.
Hibs were founded by Irish and the clubs supporters are aware of their history, but that still doesn't make them an Irish team. Obviously 99% of Hibs fans (myself included) were unhappy at the disruption of a minutes silence, but again, it was a very small number of people and like you said it came from both ends of the ground.
The minutes silence at both weekend games was requested by Celtic and given the potential for trouble in Scottish football it must be asked whether it was a good idea to have one at all. Politics and religion should be removed from football completely because at this stage in Scotland theyre just taking it over. Hibernian's policy is to remove secterianism entirely from the club, and they do a good job of achieving this. If the Old Firm were half as successful as Hibs in this regard then Scottish football wouldn't be in its current state.
Every country in Europe had shown respect for the leader of one of the most important men in the world. The Scottish FA were shown up for the bunch of bigots there are for refusing to compile with what UEFA has asked member countrys too do. In a way, part of me is happy it happened, cause it shows the world what a bigoted and anti-Irish/Catholic country it is.Quote:

I booked 2 tickets a few days ago, if it is a sunny day, we'll walk it(take about an hour but it is good fun), if not, we'll get the bus out :D If anyone still wants to go to this, book asap, a lot of single tickets in places, took me a while to find 2 seats together on-line.Quote:

I'm in the North stand area 142, near the goal, haven't been in PH for a few years, bet it is a sh!t seat! :rolleyes:Quote:

Have you any idea which stand the Irish support will be in? As FAI aren't selling tickets. :confused:Quote:

i dont know to be honest. Personally i wouldnt worry too much. Its a cracking stadium, and the atmosphere should be good, so it shouldnt really matter too much where you are sitting. :)
Dundee United used to be the "Irish" team on the East coast.
Originally founded as Dundee Hibs. But they are no more Irish than Hibernian FC of Edinburgh or indeed of Malta. The same can be said for Celtic as they play under the SFA jurisdiction for perfectly legitimate geographical reasons !
Dundee FC are known as the Blue Noses which means of the Rangers persuasion.
the eurohostel is just opposite jurys!!! :D Lots of celtic supporters go to jury's when they come over for games from ireland, some drinking session in the hotel bar, you can see them all when u walk past!! :D my brother's room had nice view over the river, rooms were a bit small, but apart from that a great place to stay.Quote:

Its decent enough as you are close to the half way line, though depends on your row. If you are at the very back of the upper tier its a fair distance to the pitch.Quote:
