Is this game back in anyone's history or tickets on the website yet who got one in p1-p3 last week? Mine stil isn't

I'm still bloody panicking that the game isn't even in my history and I got it in P3, can't rest until its back there. Genuinely feel for anyone who didn't get a ticket mind, I'm lucky but also totally understand those being aggrieved, it's affected me in thr past, had 110 points on my ST that I gave up when Bruce came, got it back after Covid and have 8 points which wws pretty much all the aways I could get to before it went mental, and am now completely locked out. It's never going to be perfect, no supporter is more of a supporter than anyone else for the actions that they took and we all feel slighted in some way, but these arguments don't happen in shit times, so thankfully we're good now and games like this are going to become commonplace in the next few years we so we can all agree that's amazing and let's try and enjoy the ride!

There's hardly any that get as low as 50, let alone zero

Aye same, sounds everyone's confirmation has gone, hopefully it's just whilst they're updating the ballots and it's just some little glitch and it'll be back later, bit worrying mind

So has mine - P3 - wouldn't put it past this box office to make a monumental fuck up and lose everyone's confirmation

Van Dijk, Jota and Firmino probably all likely to play against us then, bloody typical

Also got one in Block 134 safe standing! Fucking buzzing now! Surprised how many were still left there, decent seats them being a bit higher up!

Sounds like the website is broke this morning and every single block is showing greyed out for those trying to buy tickets. Absolute nightmare, thankfully only a few hundred going for one today but imagine the carnage if this happens tomorrow morning

Aye pretty sure our whole end will be standing tbf, especially in the lower tiers

Yup I'll be on my own, where I live I don't even have any mates that support Newcastle so I generally go to the matches on my own. Live slightly closer than you mind so it'll just be an hour and a half on the train but still, staying in a hotel on the Saturday night on me tod too

So exciting man seeing people able to get tickets, buzzing/petrified for Wednesday when it's my turn - thankfully going out drinking tomorrow night or there's no chance I'd have been able to sleep haha. Nervous now about the quality of tickets that will be available, ideally don't want to be in the gods but tbf I've sat about as high as you can before there as got a mate who's a Spurs fan and the view is fine, just want to feel a part of it. Ticket anywhere will be unreal mind.

Yeah it did seem odd, this is where it was shared https://www.themag.co.uk/2022/03/club-meets-newcastle-united-fans-with-info-on-loyalty-points-and-season-ticket-sales-shared/ Must be loads of fans with historic points that don't go to many aways anymore I guess?

Yeah I did think that, but going off what the trust released last year about how many season ticket holders had points it went :- 100+ - 2000 fans 50-99 - 3000 30+ -8000 So that's 13k there and would imagine quite a few more have 25 plus so there is quite a lot of people eligible there today. Obviously they won't all go but probably a fair chunk will want to

There'll only be about 15000 maximum that can buy in period 1 and 2 altogether, so there'll definitely be at least some left for p3 on Wednesday, but yeah looks like it's guaranteed anyway, fingers crossed

We're not finishing in the top 4 like, absolutely no chance. We've had a phenomenal season whatever happens, no doubt (unless we lose no end of games between now and end of season and end up finishing 10th or something) but we're nowhere near good enough to finish in the top 4. We had a chance but our squad is so wafer thin, and the back ups we have so poor that we're going to slip up. Top 6 would be fantastic, but that in itself brings more pressure for next season, we can't go backwards from that and the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea will be a lot better, it's a great conversation to be in but pressure on Howe and the team are going to be significantly different next season.

Only team that's going to stop Arsenal winning the league this season is Arsenal themselves. This City side aren't up to it, no chance they're going on any sort of run and have no faith in them winning difficult away games, they're in a proper transition period, genuinely think they won't win a title for the next 2-3 years at least, maybe more with the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal and even us looking to improve massively.

Nailed on 0-0 this

It's one of them though, I completely understand your point and accept it, however it's relative and context that make people feel how we feel. At the start of the season, out of context if someone had said we'd be where we are now and with the cup fun, we'd be fucking dancing from the ceiling and it'd be unbelievable, but the fact is we've got/had a genuine chance at the top 4 and we're fucking it up, its so frustrating, there's no way that next season spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool will be as bad as they are so it's such a great chance to get ahead of them. Performances like the last few weeks are so frustrating and the main annoyance for me is that we didn't properly strengthen in January when we could've done and it would have solidified our spot.

Shite this like, not strengthening in January is going to cost us top 4, we're only missing Bruno and look fucking hopeless, never looked like scoring since they equalised. We're massively overacheiving in the position we're in and nights like tonight highlight that, we can't cope against teams that set up to nullify us because we're not good enough yet, 4 draws from the last 5 and the one we didn't draw we should've lost. I know this will seem negative, and we're obviously having a great season, but there's a long long way to go before we can class ourselves as a top team, it's so frustrating. I appreciate we're ahead of where we thought we wouod be, but why the fuck did we not strengthen properly in January, we could've basically assured top 4, instead we'll miss out and it'll be a shit end to the season

Thing is there if he doesn't dive and just continues on, the leg comes out so he would have been fouled, bloody muppet diving before

Was my first ever game at SJP that one, the 4 nil. Great memories, my dad had took me up a few weeks earlier for the Barcelona friendly, not expecting it to sell out he hadn't sorted tickets, we got there and there was none left. I was devastated, tears, tantrum the lot...and that was just my dad! We were just about to head back home then had the idea of checking if there was any tickets left for the first home game and thankfully got some in level 7 for the West Ham match. Turned out to be the perfect first home game, was 0-0 at half time as well! Repeat that tomorrow would be just fine.

Going to drag so much to Wednesday man, I'm an anxiety ridden wreck at the minute, know I probably should be ok in period 3, but I think it'll be touch and go and its making me nervous as fuck. Can't imagine the euphoria on Wednesday if I get one, think it'll match us actually getting to the bloody final haha

I'm the same and initially I thought so. But thinking about it now I'm not sure, we've got a good chance but I'm pretty sure it will sell out in period 3 so could be iffy. There's about 13000 fans with 25 points and above and then couple that with period 2 which might take a few hundred more, I'm anticipating there'll be about 14000 sold in them sale periods. So when you discount corporate I would imagine that leaves around 12000 tickets left for period 3 and I would safely assume more than 12000 fit the criteria so it'll be touch and go

I can't even see it getting past period 3 let alone 4

So there'll be about 15000 in period 1, if they all went to one cup game, an additional 2000 in period 2 potentially for thr tranmere allocation, though some of them will be in period 1 also. So there should be a good 10/12000 for period 3....the fact it doesn't mention a ballot for that makes me think they have enough for period 3 to all get one but we'll see
