Ticket Collection Celtic away

I find it very hard to believe the club declined the option of a further 500 tickets. Especially given that they anticipate high demand based on the points criteria. What proof is there of this?

None - if the ground fits in less than 59k for CL then why would they offer us 3,200?

Fingers and everything else crossed for this one. I'm right on the bubble as they say for the last selling criteria, 14250 points when my Swansea points go on, train and hotel booked so here's hoping.
 
If there wasn't a ticket collection in Glasgow I expect these would've sold out around the 16k mark
Now people with 14k may be in with a chance so I'm all for it regardless of what a pain it is.
 
Doesn't Celtic Park hold about 55K for Champions league meaning 2700 would be around 5%?

I'm certainly reluctant to condemn the club in the absence of any hard evidence but would anyone be surprised if that was the case? Last season when we played Villa away in the FA Cup the tickets were dirt cheap and it was a 3pm Saturday kick-off. We were allocated 6000 tickets but it was obvious we could sell many more. There were conflicting stories as to why we didn't get a bigger allocation - one was that Villa didn't want to give us any more than the minimum requirement for the FA Cup (15%). However, one poster claimed that they spoke to someone at our ticket office and City turned down more tickets because they didn't think they could get them all posted out in time. Come the day of the game we were in the end behind the goal and the normal away section for league games at Villa Park was totally empty.
 
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that this is nothing to do with points whoring, and everything to do with slowing down, and thus controlling (whilst filming) the perceived loutish, drunken English and our idea of a good time.
