Updated for the 2025-26 Season: How to Buy Newcastle United Tickets

How do you buy Newcastle United tickets?

Updated October 2025

Many people are looking to buy Newcastle tickets, so here is what we know on the subject. It’s actually fairly straightforward — just not easy to accomplish!

First, let’s have a quick reminder of how English soccer tickets work in general.

How Newcastle United Tickets Are Allocated

As at other clubs (see above video), Newcastle United delivers tickets in stages:

1. To season-ticket holders
2. To club members via a lottery (or ballot) process
3. To club members via a Members Only sale
4. To the general public if there are any left.

Do you Need a membership to buy Newcastle tickets?

Probably, as few if any tickets remain for General Sale.

It’s easy to become a Newcastle member, though. Just visit their website and choose one of three options, each of which includes:

• Access to the Members Ballot for game tickets
• Access to the Members Sale for game tickets
• Access to the Members Ticket Resale Area
• Various discounts and other perks

Newcastle Ticket Sales: Members Ballot and Sale

The ballot (or lottery) for a Newcastle home game typically opens about one month before each game, but it is only open for about 24 hours. As a member, you will get an email with a link to enter, and the ballot will be run the next day.

If you don’t get a ticket through the ballot, there will be a Members Sale a few days later. That runs in the usual way: You log in and then wait your turn. As you might imagine, this is a very tough process, as you can see from these images from the ballot for the Newcastle-Liverpool game.

I logged in 11 minutes before the sale started …

… and the moment it opened I was beyond #21,000 in the queue.

By the time my turn came up, the only seats left were in the Family Area, where sitting with a junior member was required.

Buying Newcastle United Tickets on Third-Party Sites

Newcastle does not work with any official resellers, which means anyone other than the club who is selling tickets is doing so against club policy and UK law. They get around this by being based outside the UK, but the fact is these sites are sketchy and unethical. The number of “people” in that queue, however, reflects that many illegal resellers are in these ballots, often using bots to hoover up everything they can find.

The BBC recently published an interesting article on this world of illegal ticket sales.

Does Groundhopper Guides sell Newcastle Tickets?

We wish! We used to, but since they ended reseller contracts, and we don’t operate in the third-party market, we have no access to Newcastle Tickets.

Hospitality Packages: One Way to get Newcastle Tickets

All of the above refers to the process for buying regular Newcastle United tickets. The club also offers hospitality packages, which are seats plus some benefit like lounge access, food and drinks, etc. You don’t need a membership to buy Newcastle hospitality, nor do you have to fight with a queue. It’s just quite expensive.

For example, at an upcoming Premier League game against Fulham, the cheapest are around £350, which is over $450 US, per person. Against Manchester City, it starts at £457 ($600+), and against Sunderland it starts around £500 ($675).

So hospitality is not cheap, but it’s a legitimate, guaranteed way to buy Newcastle tickets and have access to a lounge with food and drinks.
