Chelsea vs Celtic tickets on sale for friendly at Notre Dame

Tickets to the friendly between Chelsea and Celtic this upcoming summer at Notre Dame Stadium are now on sale. The English giants are making another trip to the United States this summer. It is the Blues’ third trip to the USA for summer friendlies in the last three years. For Celtic, playing friendlies in the United States is not nearly as commonplace. The last time Celtic played friendlies in the United States was in 2007. That included an appearance in the MLS All-Star Game, which the Scottish side lost.

Now, the return of Celtic to the United States comes as part of three games against top opposition. In addition to playing Chelsea, Celtic is playing Manchester City in Chapel Hill, NC. The game at Notre Dame Stadium, though, carries a little more grandeur based on the history of the venue. You can buy tickets to the friendly between Chelsea and Celtic right now.

South Bend, IN, has hosted major events before. While this includes top-tier college football and even ice hockey, its experience in soccer is not as high. The only summer friendly to take place at Notre Dame Stadium came in 2019. Borussia Dortmund defeated Liverpool in front of over 40,000 fans. The stadium has a capacity of 77,622, which means it was far from a sell-out. Chelsea has a massive following in the United States, just like Liverpool, so it will be interesting to see how the crowd can stack up.
