Next, we’ll walk you through how to use your tickets for hassle-free access to St. James’ Park.

At the start of 2023/24 St. James’ Park adopted a digital NFC (Near Field Communication) system for ticketing, making it easier to enter the stadium using your smartphone:

• All turnstiles now scan Newcastle tickets directly from your mobile device.
• Once your tickets are issued, you may need to download an app that provides a QR code for entry.
• To ensure a smooth process, have your smartphone’s digital wallet open and ready as you approach the turnstiles.
• If this is your first time buying Newcastle United tickets on the secondary market, here are a few helpful tips to make the process smoother:

• Review the Policies: Before purchasing, take time to read the refund policies and terms of service on the resale platform. Keep in mind that Premier League match dates are often confirmed only six weeks in advance.
• Expect Higher Prices: Resale Premier League tickets, especially for high-demand Newcastle United games, can be priced above face value.
• Be Prepared for Last-Minute Delivery: It’s common for NUFC resale football tickets to be delivered close to game day, often within 1 to 5 days before the match.
• Don’t Worry About Name Discrepancies: If the name on your ticket differs from yours, it won’t affect your entry. The ticket will still be valid for St. James’ Park Stadium.
• Contact Support if Needed: Should you encounter any issues with your NUFC resale tickets, reach out to the marketplace’s customer support via email or WhatsApp for prompt assistance.

Now that the purchasing process is clear, let's look at the trends for Newcastle tickets in the resale market. Below, you can compare prices for different NUFC fixtures:

As soon as the Premier League fixture list is announced in the summer.

As mentioned, the cost of NUFC resale tickets can fluctuate significantly depending on the demand for a particular match. These prices often vary more than those offered through official channels, with supply and demand playing a key role.

For example, tickets for a high-profile game like Newcastle United vs Manchester United will likely be more expensive compared to a fixture like Newcastle United vs Bournemouth. While finding cheap NUFC tickets can be challenging, the following tips might help you save money on Ticket Compare:

• Avoid Big Matches: Newcastle United tickets for games against lesser-known Premier League teams tend to be more affordable.
• Look for Less Popular Seating Areas: Seats in the highest parts St, James’ Park (Level 7) offer the cheapest ticket options.
• Opt for Weekday Matches: Midweek fixtures generally have lower demand, resulting in cheaper resale ticket prices.
• Consider Solo Tickets: Single seats are often priced lower, so sitting apart from your group may save you money.

Yes, Ticket Compare only works with resellers with a track record for reliability. 

Due to dynamic pricing, football resale tickets are affected more by supply and demand, and there’s always massive demand at St. James’ Park.

Understanding how the resale market works can help you find better deals, but how do these prices stack up against those sold directly by the NUFC ticket office? Let’s delve into this comparison.

If you’re wondering just how much NUFC tickets cost, here’s a price list for the 2024/25 season:

• Adults: £32 - £70
• 18-21: £17 - £38
• Over 65s: £26 - £58
• U18: £17 - £38

The cheapest Newcastle United tickets are in the Family Section, in the top tier of the Milburn Stand. However, there’s often low availability for family seating.

If you aren’t eligible for Family Section seats, the next most affordable Newcastle tickets are in the Leazes Stand and Gallowgate Stand, priced around £45 for 2024/25.

The most expensive seats at St. James’ Park in the Platinum Club, mid-tier in the Milburn Stand (Blocks L2A to L2H).

If you’re curious about NUFC ticket ballots, the General Members Sale and Ticket Forwarding, we’ll go into the process of buying Newcastle United tickets from the club in the next section.

Four to five weeks before a home fixture, Newcastle United members have a two-day window (10 am to 10 am) to register their interest to buy Premier League tickets for this match in a ballot system.

The ballot will be run as soon as the window closes, and by 5 pm on that day, successful applicants will be told that they will be able to buy tickets.

The next day at 12:30 pm a seat selection window opens for successful ballot entrants, and this window lasts for two days.

The day after the seat selection window closes, another window opens for Magpies fans to get hold of tickets for NUFC matches at home.

With ticket forwarding Newcastle Season Ticket holders can pass their seat onto a friend or member of family.

The recipient needs to have an online Newcastle United account.

Can I forward my NUFC Season Ticket to a non-Member?

Yes, as long as they are registered as family or friends.

NUFC Season Ticket holders can also sell their seats back to the club if they can’t attend a match. This service is available starting about three weeks before a fixture.

The ‘Sell Tickets” option is available on the ‘Personal Details’ section of your Newcastle online account.

As the last of the NUFC ticket on-sale dates—three weeks before a fixture, there’s another opportunity for Newcastle members to secure home match tickets.

From 10 am there’s a first come, first served sales window selling a small percentage of tickets that were held back from the ballot.

These seats are extremely limited and are always sought after. The maximum Premier League away allocation is never more than 3,000 seats, and the price of an away ticket has been capped at £30 for several years now.

As a result, Newcastle away game tickets are sold only to NUFC Season Ticket holders.

What are NUFC Loyalty Points?

The Loyalty Points scheme determines who is eligible to buy away tickets. They will go on sale at a certain threshold, which will then reduce until the allocation is sold out.

You earn 1+ point for every NUFC away match you attend, and most matches sell out for people with at least 20+ points, while the lowest threshold is normally 10+ points for EFL Cup matches against lower-league opponents.

For those looking for a premium experience, Newcastle United offers a lineup of swish lounges, which we’ll explore in detail below.

An elegant bistro, with welcome drinks on arrival and a contemporary three-course meal. You can warm up with a hot snack after the game ends, while your stadium seats are behind the goal in the Leazes Stand.

Introduced in 2024/25, this off-site package offers a dining experience at the top of Hadrian’s Tower, a five-minute walk from the stadium. You get skyline views, and your seating is in an excellent position in the Leazes Stand.

Where better to start your perfect NUFC matchday than St. James’ Park famous bar dedicated to Alan Shearer himself? You can hang out in this laid-back setting, enjoying a two-course buffet, before taking your seats in the Milburn Stand. At half-time and full-time you’ll be free to make use of the upscale Platinum Club lounges.

In a sophisticated environment, The Rooftops with Fenwick offers a seasonal grazing menu and all-inclusive bar with cocktails and champagne. You can hear the opinions of an NUFC hero before and after the match, while your seats are with the most passionate Geordies in the Gallowgate Stand.

Elevated in every sense, this Leazes Stand lounge looks out over St. James’ Park and Newcastle beyond. Food-wise, you’re treated to a casual grill-style menu, and you will be joined by a former Newcastle star before and after the match.

No, Newcastle matchday hospitality tickets are sold via a different process. However, Ticket Compare works with official Newcastle hospitality partners, so you can use our platform to secure VIP tickets.

Now we’ve wrapped up the hospitality section, let’s dive a bit deeper into the St. James’ Park matchday experience.

Where Are the Best Seats at St. James’ Park for Newcastle United Matches

Here’s a quick guide for first-timers wondering which stand to choose:

• Leazes Stand: Away fans sit in the gods in the upper tier, while the lower tier is favoured by some of Newcastle United’s noisiest supporters. Be warned that if it rains you will get wet if you’re by the pitch, but it might be worth it for the atmosphere.
• East Stand: The smallest stand is on the eastern longside, and offers excellent views of the action, at a lower price point than the main Milburn Stand. All seats in the East Stand are general admission, so there’s a balance between a great vantage point and a fair price.
• Gallowgate Stand: The most famous stand at St. James’ Park is home to the die-hard Toon fans. The Gallowgate Stand is on the south side behind the goal, and the atmosphere improves the closer you get to Strawberry Corner on the east side of the stand, which has been converted to safe standing.
• Milburn Stand: By far the largest stand at St. James’ Park is named as a tribute to prolific striker Jackie Milburn. Lower down, this is the location for Newcastle United’s premium seating, while the entire upper tier serves as the stadium’s family section.

Accessibility at St. James’ Park

• St. James’ Park has 234 wheelchair spaces, mostly in the Gallowgate, Milburn and Leazes stands.
• Many of these are elevated, on Level 7 for a bird’s eye view of the pitch that may be uncomfortable for some disabled fans.
• The stadium also has 21 seats for ambulant disabled supporters, as well as an additional 24 seats for visually impaired fans.
• Newcastle United’s ground has 27 accessible toilets, 25 of which are in the home sections and 2 in the away area.

Payments

This venue is mostly cashless. To be on the safe side during Newcastle fixtures, don’t expect kiosks to accept cash.

How Much is a Pint at NUFC?

Typically £4.90. This is about mid-table for the Premier League where pints can cost £6 or more. 

Hey Jude (Geordies)

Something that has really taken off in the last few years is the home section belting out “Geordies” to The Beatles’ “Hey Jude” before kick-off.

Going Home: Theme of the Local Hero

NUFC’s entrance song is an instrumental track composed in 1983 by rock musician Mark Knopfler for the movie Local Hero. Knopfler is best-known as a founder member of Dire Straits, and grew up near Newcastle.

Newcastle United Crowd Chants

NUFC has a club culture like few teams in the Premier League, and that comes with a few songs that may be unfamiliar to first-timers. Here are some Newcastle chants to look up.

“Blaydon Races”, “Toon, Toon, Black and White Army”, “Who’s that Team We Call United?”, and “We Are the Geordies, Geordie Boot Boys”.

Getting Away from the Stadium

Being in the heart of the city, crowds disperse relatively quickly after Newcastle games, so you won’t need to leave early.

A number of roads around the stadium, including Strawberry Lane, St James' Street, Leazes Terrace, St Andrews Street and Leazes Park Road are closed on matchdays to improve crowd flow.

Local Pub for Some Post-Match Fun

One spot that is packed with Newcastle fans both before and after the match is The Strawberry (NE1 4SF), just off the south-east corner of the stadium.

The pub is a treasure trove of Newcastle United history, and is the perfect place to celebrate a Toon win or deconstruct a defeat.

Before we end this section, we’ll offer some tips for away fans heading to Newcastle.

When Do the Turnstiles Open at St. James’ Park

90 minutes before kick-off. It’s worth aiming to be in your seat about 30 minutes before the match starts.

Away Fan Pubs for Newcastle

Something great about the stadium’s central location is the abundance of places to eat and drink within a stone’s throw of the ground.

For the sake of convenience, most away fans gather at the pubs close to Newcastle Central Station. One spot to consider, directly opposite the station The Head of Steam Newcastle (NE1 5EN).

How Many Tickets Do Away Fans Get at Newcastle?

Roughly 3,000, which is the minimum for a stadium with a capacity over 30,000.

Where Do Away Fans Sit at St. James’ Park?

As we’ll show below, the away section is on Level 7 in the upper tier of the Leazes Stand (Blocks L7F to L7M), entered via turnstiles 91-94. This is the only away allocation with no pitch-side seating in the Premier League.

So now we’ve covered the essentials of a matchday in Newcastle, in the next section we’ll look into the ticketing aspects of NUFC Membership

Simply because the team colours are black and white, the same as a magpie bird.

To avoid kit clashes. Newcastle started out with red shirts and white shorts. In their very first league match against Woolwich Arsenal in 1892, they had to wear their change kit of black and white stripes, which they adopted as their main kit.
