Resale websites for Arsenal vs Newcastle United tickets
For fans of either club who were unsuccessful in the official route, a last option is to purchase tickets from third-party resale websites, one such example being LiveFootballTickets. Another option for fans is Seatpick.
However, if you intend on going down this route there are a few things worth keeping in mind when doing so. Firstly, due diligence is of utmost importance as there is a very real risk of scam tickets or tickets being invalid at the turnstile on matchday.
Secondly, prices on these websites are often far higher than what is considered a fair market value, so always ensure you are happy to pay the price displayed on the site.
