Newcastle United has announced the launch of a Season Ticket waiting list, responding to overwhelming demand for tickets. The initiative follows a proposal from the Fan Advisory Board (FAB) and aims to provide clarity and accessibility for fans seeking season tickets in the future.
Key Details of the Season Ticket Waiting List
The new waiting list will be open to all Mags, Mags+, and Junior Mags members. The club plans to offer a minimum of 250 season tickets to those on the waiting list for the 2026/27 season. Chairman of the FAB, Michael McCarthy, emphasized the importance of season tickets for supporters and acknowledged the club’s responsiveness to fan feedback.
Why the Waiting List is Needed
As demand for tickets reaches unprecedented levels, this new platform will allow fans to sign up and monitor their waiting list position via their ticketing accounts. However, positions will not be confirmed until the application process is fully completed.
How to Join the Waiting List
Members can register for the Season Ticket waiting list at no cost between May 18 and May 31. Detailed instructions will be provided to supporters on May 18, including information regarding their priority bands. Additionally, helpful FAQs will be available in the Help Centre.
Application Process Overview
- Step 1: Check Eligibility on May 18 – Eligible members receive an email confirming their priority group.
- Step 2: Apply Online – From May 18 to May 31, log in to your account at El-Balad to submit your application.
- Step 3: Ballot – From June 1 to June 7, submitted applications will be entered into a ballot based on priority groups.
- Step 4: Notification – Supporters will be informed of their waiting list position after the ballot.
- Step 5: Season Ticket Offers – Eligibility to purchase season tickets will be communicated starting June 10.
Priority Tiers and Membership Requirements
Applicants will be sorted into tiers based on their Mags memberships for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 seasons. It is crucial for supporters to maintain continuous Mags Membership to retain their waiting list position. Failure to renew by May 31 will result in losing that place.
Accessible Seating Options
Supporters with accessibility needs are encouraged to join the waiting list. The club will assist in finding suitable seating options. Personal assistants should be included in the application if needed.
Conclusion
Newcastle United is committed to enhancing fan experience, and the establishment of a Season Ticket waiting list is a step towards ensuring that all supporters have the opportunity to secure tickets in future seasons.
