Newcastle United fans are torn over the announcement to sell approximately 1,000 season tickets next Tuesday. In a move that was never going to please everybody, supporters who have purchased a season ticket, matchday ticket or membership since July 1, 2019, will be eligible for the upcoming release.
An update on the club website cited “an unprecedented demand” for next season forced Toon chiefs to devise a fair plan after consulting the NUFC Trust. Premier League rules insist 5% of tickets must be left for match days, with an allocation also taken up by away supporters.
Season tickets go on sale at 10am on Tuesday and can only be bought online at nufc.co.uk. As always, debate has sparked over how the tickets will be distributed ahead of the Magpies’ most exciting campaign for a generation.
