Newcastle United will welcome Brighton to St James' Park on 2 March in the fifth-round tie of the FA Cup. The fixture will kick off at 1:45pm.
While Newcastle have had success in the Carabao Cup, making it to a second final in three years this season, the FA Cup has been less kind to Eddie Howe. Brighton's journey ended in the fifth round last season, though a semi-final penalty shootout loss the season prior was the closest they've gotten.
Both sides are clearly out to win trophies, so it will be a fascinating match.

Newcastle United vs Brighton tickets: Buying guide
Home tickets
Newcastle United tickets for the Brighton match are available through a ballot system. The initial wave was sent to fans on Tuesday, 18 February. As always, a small number of tickets will be held back for general sale at a later date, though these are very limited and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

- Senior (65+): £15/£7.50
- Under-18: £15/£7.50
- Full-Time Student (with ID): £15/£7.50
Away tickets
For Brighton tickets, they've been given a ticket allocation of around 7,000+ due to the FA Cup 15% ticket rule. However, it's unlikely that all these will be sold, as Brighton rarely sells out their league game allocation for games at St James' Park.

- Adult: £30

- Under 18 £15
- Full-time Student £15
Accessibility tickets can be purchased for 50% of each of the above-listed totals.
Hospitality
Newcastle offers several hospitality options for fans who wish to attend the clash. The club has made hospitality tickets available at numerous of its hospitality options. As with most clubs, Newcastle hospitality is strictly for home fans, though not wearing away colours or cheering if they score will be fine if it's your only option.
- The Barracks – From £187
- Heroes Club – From £348
- Sir Bobby Robson Suit – From £500
- The Rooftops and Executive Boxes must be booked via phone call
Newcastle United vs Brighton tickets: Alternative options
If you can't secure tickets through either club, there is one remaining option. In recent years, many fans have begun turning to third-party ticket resale sites to purchase football tickets, and some are already listing tickets for this match.
We recently reviewed LiveFootballTickets and Seatpick, both of which are options for fans looking to purchase tickets from third-party sites. As with all third-party websites, you will need to pay more than the face value of the tickets if you choose this option. However, this eliminates the need to buy memberships to obtain match tickets.
FGG says: Never enough tickets
It's already fairly clear that there won't be enough tickets for the game, at least for Newcastle United fans. For now, it seems like Brighton's away allocation might be handed back. While a Premier League clash, it's certain to be an exciting fixture against two sides who are both looking to push on.
