Season Tickets

[Nii Lamptey]

For the first time in forever, I've just managed to snag one of the last remaining away tickets for Newcastle next week... and then realised it's the fecking late kickoff and my brother is getting married in Bristol the following day. FFS!

With that kickoff time, I'm guessing there are no trains back to Birmingham (post-final whistle) that evening either?

1943 is the last train back to New Street. Game should finish 1920-25 ish. Could make it, if you get your skates on (subject to the new ruling re. added time).

Simple, when we go 3-0 up in the 79th minute, head for the station.
Out of interest how did you manage to bag a ticket ? I'd have assumed they'd be snapped up immediately or handed over to Terrace View members ?

There were a few remaining tickets that made it to general sale to season ticket holders at 5pm tonight. They got snapped up within about 3 seconds, but kept refreshing for a few minutes to snag one that didn’t go through the sale process. First time I’ve ever managed it tbh! Normally can only get one off mates that can’t make it or something.

Fair play, i guess a lot of people will be on holiday so a rare bonus i expect . Enjoy !

They have given numbers of people who meet each stage if the criteria and it will be the same for Burnley away which goes on sale next week. It’s basically a 5pm online lottery for the last few tickets. Worth a try.

Extremely interesting that away games are now making effectively general sale.

Which away game has made general sale? Newcastle reached season ticket holders and sold out before the minute they went on sale was up, foiling my plans to get my son a ticket. This was unlike last year when it reached season ticket holders but survived long enough past the hour for me to leisurely choose his seat and purchase it.

Time to have another Monster, count the paint chippings and quote some Leviathan.

It is good news that season ticket holders may get the chance to get an away ticket

Highly interesting that you try to find a negative spin on something.

Nothing negative about it, just shows that there may be some 'drop off' from those who went away last season.

Last season I got tickets to Newcastle away as a season ticket only (no away history). Yesterday not a chance. Gone in 20 seconds

I got tickets to Brighton as well. Again I doubt I will get those when they come to no history season tickets

So, no there’s no drop off

It's like having Nigel Farage on here sometimes.

In what way? That it was harder to get Newcastle away tickets as season ticket holders this year than it was last would suggest demand has increased, particularly as this game is televised.

[sid1964]

Are all the away tickets at Newcastle in the safe standing area?

[ChicagoLion]

Can you imagine what he would be like if he supported a team with a ground falling down that has spent almost a decade just avoiding relegation with absentee owners chronic financial problems and a dwindling fan base oh wait…….

[Risso]

I got 4 tickets last year, none this.

Like Sid said, even if they do go to General Sale from time to time, that gives an opportunity to those who wouldn't normally be able to get one. Karen Flintstone has managed to turn a negative into a positive.
