Newcastle United membership for new season – Club publish further update / clarification | OneFootball

On Tuesday morning, the 2023/24 Newcastle United membership announcement was finally made (see below).

The club revealing the information with only 18 days to go before the season starts.

If you want to buy a Newcastle United membership they go on sale at 10am this (Wednesday 26 July) morning.

One big / massive change to note was that for members it will be ‘access to tickets to home matches via a ballot’, so not first come first served as it has been previously, with tickets on sale at 10am on a particular morning ahead of each game.

Following that Tuesday morning Newcastle United membership announcement, the club then also later updated their FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) on the official website:

‘How will the Membership ballot work?

There will be a 24 hour window to enter each matchday ticket ballot. This period will be communicated on the ticket on sale page on the website.

Those supporters that are successful in the ballot will have payment processed on the card details they supplied at the time of entering the ballot, and will receive an email to download their digital ticket.

Those supporters that are unsuccessful will not be contacted. Single match tickets cannot be forwarded on or re-sold. Our standard refund policy applies.

If I enter the ballot – can I enter with friends and family?

If each person has a membership, and you are linked by the Friends and Family functionality, you can enter the ballot as a group. If you are successful, each person will secure a seat.’

One other positive, is that listed on the (UK) adult Newcastle United membership benefits is ‘Access to ticket re-sale opportunities.’

Most major Premier League clubs have a system that allows fans, mainly season ticket holders, to put their tickets up for ‘re-sale’ to other supporters via the club, if they can’t get to a particular match. So very good news that Newcastle United appear to have now developed their own system along these lines.

Whilst local / UK members will see their applications go into a ballot each match, as they try to get home tickets. The club sparking speculation / confusion when instead of entering a ballot, ‘International’ members will have ‘Access to home match tickets (terms and conditions apply).’ Difficult to comment on that one until we can see what exactly those terms and conditions are.
