Newcastle United season tickets: Pricing, availability
The only way to guarantee a match ticket for every single Newcastle game at St James' Park is to purchase a season ticket. All season tickets were sold out for the 23/24 season and the club don't operate a waiting list, meaning that season tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis each summer should any become available.

Newcastle United matchday tickets and single-match tickets: Pricing, availability
If you don't have a season ticket, then you will have to buy a matchday ticket on a game-by-game basis. Purchasing single-match tickets can be tricky at Newcastle with the vast majority of matches going to a ballot to allocate tickets. In order to be eligible for the ballot, you need to be a member of the club with only a small number of games going to general sale.
Should you be successful in the ballot, then you will be presented with the opportunity to purchase home tickets. Ticket prices differ based on the category of the game and the whereabouts in the stadium you want to sit. For Category A fixtures – those against the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City – adult tickets range from £32-70 while junior tickets range from £17-38.
Newcastle United tickets for Sela Weekender

Similar in format to the better known ‘Emirates Cup' hosted by Arsenal, the Sela Weekender sees European sides battle it out to be crowned champions of the pre-season competition.
Before the official tournament begins, Newcastle will host Girona on Friday, August 9, in what will likely be an entertaining affair. The following day will see Newcastle Women play AC Milan Ladies and Newcastle Men host Stade Brestois.
All three of the above fixtures are priced exactly the same, with an adult general admission ticket costing £20. A ‘Premium Bars' ticket is also available for each of the games, a luxury which will set you back £25.
Tickets for all three matches are still available on the club's official website.
Do I need a membership to buy Newcastle United tickets?
Technically speaking it isn't essential to have a membership to buy Newcastle United tickets, however, having one significantly increases your chances of getting tickets. The ticket sales process for each home game follows the same pattern – members are invited to enter a ballot for tickets and those who are successful are then given the opportunity to purchase tickets.
If any tickets are left remaining after the member's ballot then members are then given another opportunity to purchase tickets, this time directly via the online Newcastle ticketing platform where any remaining tickets will be listed. It is only after this stage that non-members are able to purchase tickets but it is very rare that it ever gets to this point.
