Celtic criticizes Hearts over reduced away ticket allocation
Summary

Celtic has expressed disappointment at Heart of Midlothian’s decision to reduce their away ticket allocation by 20 percent for the upcoming match at Tynecastle on January 25, 2026. The club has been assigned only 508 tickets, down from previous years. Celtic noted that this decision is out of their control, and it follows a trend of reduced away supporter access across Scottish football, which they believe dilutes matchday atmosphere. They highlighted concerns about potential revenue losses for clubs that limit away fan attendance. Hearts' decision could impact their own attendance figures, given past instances where clubs faced empty seats and financial repercussions from similar actions.
