    With our future under Rafa now secured, we’re delighted to announce price reductions across the board for all supporters. Your loyalty through these challenging times has been magnificent and it’s right that we now reward you with savings for our 16/17 Championship season.

    We’ll get the details out to you as soon as we can,
    but in the meantime wanted to let you know what prices
    season ticket holders can expect this season:


    • Season ticket prices are being reduced by 10%.
    • Supporters on our long-term deals will receive the 10% reduction on the price we wrote out to you with in February. We’ll be in touch soon with details of your new price, and how we’ll manage refunds or reductions in your monthly payment.
    • For those supporters wanting to purchase a 1-year season ticket:

    -





    -




    - For example, as an adult in our category 2 seating, you’ll be paying £520 for your season ticket instead of £578 in 15/16 – combined with the additional 4 games, this brings your per game price down from £30 to under £23.


    Prices in our family area are £68 for under 18s and £329 for adults. This means a per game price of £3 for under 18s and just over £14 for adults.


    Juniors across the board will therefore see significant reductionsfrom their 15/16 price.
    • Fans with an existing 1-season, half-season and 5-game season ticketwill be able to renew online, over the phone or via our Matchday Box Office from Tuesday 31st May.
    • We’ll make applications forms and monthly direct debit forms available online from Monday 6th June.


    Read our full press release on 2016/17 Season Ticket pricing here


    We’ve heard from lots of our existing 1-year season ticket holders, keen to renew as soon as possible and concerned that they could lose their seat. Don’t worry – we’ll be keeping your seat for you until Friday 1st July so you’ll have plenty of time to renew once tickets go on sale.

    If we’ve not heard from you by Wednesday 15th June, we’ll write out to you about your renewal and you’ll still have a couple of weeks to secure your seat.

    If you’re an existing hospitality customer, we’ll be in touch with you soon with details of your new deal price. But rest assured, you’ll benefit from our 10% reduction too…



    Have criticised the Club many times in the past for it's failings but I just have to say well done and credit the Club for voluntarily doing the "right thing".

    a big well done to the club from me too.
    wonderful gesture and one that will hopefully help put bums on seats.
    I'm not going to overthink this gesture but, along with the big kids reduction I'm paying a lot less for my tickets than I was a few years ago.
    well done NUFC.

    Hate to come over all Mr T'ish but I think it is as much an attempt to maximise revenues as reward anybody for anything

    The one thing I don't think you can criticise the Ashley regime of is ticket prices. There's been good deals, price freezes, £20's Plenty campaign, etc. Sure the economy has pushed them in that direction but it's been better here than at many clubs. The membership charge is the only criticism I have really although it's fairly understandable.

    I agree ticket prices are comparatively very fair.

    Yeah it looks like a nice gesture but they couldn't charge PL ticket prices in the Championship so prices have to come down which means they need to fill the seats from day one as revenue is going to take a hit even with the parachute payment, the extra matches will help and I would presume that more away fans will come to matches in Newcastle as it's going to be a big away day for them playing in what will be the biggest and best stadium in the Championship.

    Was until a few years ago, then just had enough, my Dad also. Nowadays there is no point as i`m in Istanbul, but will try to coincide trips home with home games in the hope I will get a ticket as I need to take my little lad to his first game( he is 4). It`s come to the time when I have to make him suffer like my Dad did to me!! I foresee next year being sold out pretty quickly though. if we start of the season as we hope to.

    No season ticket as live to far away. Promised l would not set foot in SJP again until Ashley and Co started running the club properly.
    It's too soon to know how things will truly be, but in Rafa l do trust.
    May be able to catch the lads at Norwich and Ipswich if we have turned a corner, which l think we have.
