Match Day Tickets

I'm going to be mighty pissed off if I don't get a ticket
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Newcastle United is excited to confirm arrangements for the return of up to 10,000 supporters to St. James’ Park for this month’s fixture with Sheffield United.

This is following the government’s target dates for Step 3 of the roadmap out of COVID-19 restrictions, which will see every Premier League team able to host one home game with a limited number of supporters in attendance.

This is subject to any future announcements from government which may change these circumstances; it is currently anticipated that government will announce the move to Step 3 on 10th May.

The club has been planning for the return of fans for several months, putting in place a range of protocols to ensure supporters’ matchday experience is as safe and comfortable as possible.

The Magpies host Sheffield United at 6pm BST on Wednesday 19th May and a ticket ballot process for eligible supporters will commence from 10am BST on Friday 7th May.

Eligible supporters are those with season tickets on long term price freeze deals, as well as supporters who held a valid season ticket at the end of the 2019/20 season AND continue to have account credit outstanding.

The ballot closes at 10am on Sunday 9th May, giving a full 48-hour period for eligible supporters to apply. We will contact those successful in the ballot on Tuesday 11th May.

Ticket information

All stands will be in operation, while Level 7 will remain closed.

Pricing will be simple, with a single match ticket based on the supporter’s usual existing season ticket price divided by 19 (i.e. number of home league matches per season).

Supporters’ credit will be reduced by the equivalent value of one game at their usual season ticket price irrespective of where seated.

Ticket ballot

With demand expected to hugely surpass the number of tickets available, a ticket ballot will take place.

Priority will first go to season ticket holders on long term price freeze deals, as well as those who held a valid season ticket at the end of the 2019/20 season and still have an account credit on their club ticket account.

To assist with social distancing, the majority of tickets will be sold in singles and pairs with a small percentage of fours. All supporters must adhere to applicable government guidance on social contact when making a group booking.

If successful in the ballot, supporters will be able to select an available seat as close as possible to their usual seating category. However, we are unable to guarantee their usual seat and available seating may not be in their usual stand.

How the ballot will work

The ballot opens at 10am on Friday 7th May. Enter the ballot using the button below and:

• Log in to book.nufc.co.uk
• Select Home tickets
• Select to enter the ballot
• Follow the on screen instructions

The club will let supporters who have been successful in the ballot know on Tuesday 11 May and once allocated to a named supporter, tickets are not transferable to others. Photo ID checks will take place on arrival to the stadium and supporters will be turned away if their photo ID does not match the ticket.

 

Successful? That's debatable

 

Not sure why there is a ballot.

ST Holders with 100 or more loyalty points should be the first ones who get the tickets then asliding scale as per away tickets. Reward loyalty especially during a pandemic.

 

Got mine yesterday. Just said I was willing to pay a bit extra and they have put it in the post.

 

Mate, this thread is about Newcastle tickets not tickets for the poor relations in Manchester. Anyway I thought all you Man U fans had to do to get in to Old Trafford was kick the door down and storm in.

 

It seems a fair method.

 

The bastards at Man Utd are doing it by ballot. Tried offering them more but it didn’t work with them.

 

I get to the front of the queue then the next message says Rejected Queue Number

 

Does the same for me.
Typical NUFC, using dodgy second hand IT systems.

 

tried 8 times now - no response

surely if there is a problem with the system (and they must know about it by now) then they should at least put another message on the website or email the people who they already emailed

The Box Office is experiencing a high volume of emails. You will receive a reply in due course although due to the volume of correspondence this may fall outside of our standard response times. The Club thanks all supporters for their patience.

If you are a ticket holder, please quote your supporter number in all email correspondence as this will help us deal with your enquiry more quickly.

We are currently unable to accept incoming calls but we will advise supporters when we can open the phone lines for supporters who require assistance.

 

I have 4 tickets now, as I received another couple this morning, presumably by mistake, so if you want a couple of them just PM me.

 

thanks for the offer but ......
I Believe these are not transferrable ?
