Scottish champions Celtic will be hoping to find their feet in their second Europa League outing of the season, when they travel to face Portuguese giants Benfica at Estadio da Luz in Lisbon on October 15.
The Bhoys kicked off their continental campaign with a disappointing 3-1 beating by Ferencvaros at Celtic Park, and are aiming to avoid another damaging defeat in their first meeting with As Aguias since November 2012.

Official Away Tickets – Celtic
Celtic fans with Club Celtic and Executive Club memberships were given the chance to apply for tickets for this clash, with a deadline of 5pm on Friday, September 11.
When Hearts made the trip to face Benfica at Estadio da Luz in August, they were allocated 3,400 tickets, so expect a similar designation for the Bhoys' trip on October 15.
Given the demand for tickets to see the Bhoys in action, as well as the small allocation and the fact that the deadline has passed, the official route for accessing Celtic tickets to this fixture is closed.
Resale tickets
If you are unable to secure a ticket to Benfica vs Celtic via official channels, then one alternative option is to consider visiting a third-party resale site.
Keep in mind that resale tickets will cost over face value, so it is recommended to try the club's own ticketing portals first. However, for more peace of mind when using a third-party resale site, check out Football Ground Guide's reviews for Seatpick and LivefootballTickets below:
