Celtic Park seating plan: stands, sections and the best seats

The Celtic Park seating plan has four stands and 60,411 seats. The North Stand is the huge side stand, and the Main Stand faces it across the pitch. The Lisbon Lions Stand and Jock Stein Stand sit behind the goals. For the view, pick the North Stand. Away fans sit in the south-east corner.

Every game at the ground is on the Celtic Park tickets page, and the Celtic tickets page shows how each match is being sold.

How does the Celtic Park seating plan work?

The Celtic Park seating plan works by stand, then tier, then numbered section, then row and seat. Celtic Park is the home of Celtic Football Club, in the Parkhead area of Glasgow’s East End, postcode G40 3RE. A stand is one side of the ground, and a tier is one level of seats.

Three stands join up to form one two-tier bowl around three sides of the pitch. The Main Stand, also called the South Stand, is the separate, older stand on the fourth side.

Fans and the media call the ground Parkhead, and the club often calls it Paradise. Celtic Park is the largest football stadium in Scotland. Looking for Celtic Park in Derry? That is a different ground, used for Gaelic games in Northern Ireland.

Older websites may use other names. The Lisbon Lions Stand opened in 1996 as the East Stand and was renamed in 2000. The North Stand opened in 1995, after the old terrace known as the Jungle was knocked down.

Does the Celtic Park seating plan show rows and seat numbers?

The club’s Celtic Park Maps page shows turnstiles, seating, accessible seating, parking and hospitality, the seats that come with food and drink. Your own section, row and seat appear on your ticket, along with the turnstile you must use. For a photo of the view from a real seat, fans use sites such as A View From My Seat.

Is there a 3D seating plan for Celtic Park?

Celtic launched Celtic Park as a Virtual Venue, a digital version of the ground, with its ticketing partner Ticketmaster Sport. You will find it as “Celtic Park in 3D” in the ticket guides on the club’s website. It is a good first stop if you have never seen the stadium.

What do the section numbers at Celtic Park mean?

Celtic gives each section a number, and it sometimes calls a section an area. Sections 115 to 117 are the Family Stand in Lisbon Lions Lower. Area 120 is in the south-east corner, where away wheelchair users sit. Area 118 is on the club’s FAQ list of Special season ticket seats.

What are Special season tickets at Celtic Park?

Special season tickets at Celtic Park are for seats in a set group of sections, and they leave out home games against Rangers. The club’s FAQ lists areas 115 to 118, half of area 416 and areas 417 to 419. Its prices page stops at section 117, so check with the Ticket Office if your seat is in 118. Holders are offered any spare Rangers tickets before a general sale, with no promise of one.

Where is the best place to sit at Celtic Park?

The best place to sit at Celtic Park is the North Stand for the view and the rail seats for standing, though rail seats are hard to get. Each part of the ground suits a different fan.

• Best for the view: the North Stand. The lower tier is close to the pitch, and the upper tier, above the boxes, looks down over the whole bowl.
• Best for standing: rail seating, where each fan has a space behind a rail, in the Lisbon Lions Stand. It is the only part of the ground where fans may stand, and only on league days.
• Behind the goal: both ends have two tiers and face each other, so the view is much the same from either side.
• A different angle: the Main Stand gives the opposite touchline from a smaller, older stand outside the bowl.
• Bringing children? The Family Stand is in sections 115 to 117.
• First visit? Pick a side stand, so you can follow the whole pitch.

If you are unsure about a seat, ask the Ticket Office before you buy. Its counter at Celtic Park is open 11am to 2pm, Monday to Friday, and from 11am until kick-off on matchdays.

What is rail seating at Celtic Park?

Rail seating at Celtic Park is a section of the Lisbon Lions Stand with 2,975 places, where each fan has an allocated space behind a rail. It was installed in 2016, after permission came in June 2015. Everywhere else at the ground is seated.

Celtic’s 2025/26 ground regulations say fans may stand in the rail section, except at matches the club marks as all seated. That includes all UEFA matches, where standing is forbidden. So do not expect to stand at a Europa League game.

The rail seating code of conduct adds these rules:

• Stay in your own allocated space.
• Keep aisles and vomitories, the walkways into the stand, clear.
• Do not surge or crowd forward.
• Do not stand on seats or barriers.

Can you buy a rail seat at Celtic Park?

You cannot get a rail seat as a new fan, because rail seating is sold out as a season ticket. Any space goes to existing holders who have registered their interest. A holder must renew their current seat first, then email tickets@celticfc.co.uk with their client reference. Rail seats cannot be transferred to anyone else. Rail Seating opt-out season tickets leave out home Rangers games, with no promise of a ticket.

How much does each part of Celtic Park cost?

Celtic Park has no published price list for each stand, and the club uses no A, B or C match categories. You see the price for each area when you buy online. These recent prices show the range for a single game.

For Dundee United, under-16s and over-65s paid £26 and under-13s £17. General sale tickets, sold to anyone, add a booking fee of £1.60 each. Season tickets start at £626 for an adult, and student season ticket prices apply only in certain areas. The Celtic season ticket guide lists every age group.

How do you get a seat at Celtic Park?

You get a seat at Celtic Park through the online general sale, a sale open to anyone, when season ticket holders leave seats free. Celtic’s season ticket waiting list is closed, so single games are the normal way in for new fans. Follow these steps:

1. Create a free Celtic FC Digital Account. You need it to buy and manage tickets online.
2. Say yes to club emails. Celtic calls this “Sign for Celtic”, and it tells you when a game goes on sale.
3. Buy online when the sale opens. Celtic Park tickets are sold online only.
4. Save your ticket to your phone. It arrives by email at least 48 hours before kick-off, for Apple or Google Wallet.

Bigger games work differently. The September game against Rangers went only to eligible season ticket holders. The Europa League games against Beşiktaş and Marseille are limited to fans who registered a ticketing account by 26 August 2026.

Coming as a group? The club’s group bookings page covers parties of 10 or more.

How do digital tickets work at Celtic Park?

Digital tickets at Celtic Park go into your phone wallet, and you tap your phone at the turnstile, the entry gate. Selected match tickets work this way. Follow these steps:

1. Open the ticket email sent to your registered address.
2. Tap “Add to Apple Wallet” or “Add to Google Wallet”. Each ticket can only be added once, so use the phone you will carry.
3. Charge your phone before you leave home.
4. At the turnstile, unlock your phone and hold the back of it to the reader.
5. Wait for the green light. If it shows red, ask a steward, who will send you to the Ticket Office.

Screenshots do not work. On Android, NFC, the phone’s tap-to-pay feature, must be on, and Google Pay must be your main payment method. If your Android phone has no NFC, open the ticket, tap “Show Code” and scan the barcode at the turnstile. In a group? Scan each ticket one at a time and go in together.

Where is hospitality on the Celtic Park seating plan?

Hospitality at Celtic Park means a ticket with food and drink. It sits mainly in the Walfrid Restaurant, Number 7, The View, Cafe 1888, the Legends Suites and the South Stand Boxes. Club 67 is a separate product, and the club says it was previously the Kerrydale Suite.

Hospitality is sold apart from normal tickets. Celtic has a matchday hospitality hub, a seasonal hospitality hub for full seasons and a page to register your interest. On a matchday, the Hospitality Box Office opens for ticket collections before the stadium does.

• Expecting rail seats at UEFA games. Standing is forbidden there, even in the rail section.
• Bringing an A4 bag. Celtic’s own rule is A5, and older notices may say otherwise.
• Opening your account late. Some European sales were limited to accounts registered by 26 August 2026.
• Buying a Special season ticket for the Family Stand and expecting Rangers games. Those games are left out.
• Going to the wrong side of the ground. You cannot always walk round, so approach from the side of your turnstile.
