Yes but as others have said you get randomised in the queue before 10am. It gives you a rough idea how long the wait in the queue is (shows how many ahead) and then you get your 10 mins to buy tickets once let in. Pre-season matches will be a full sell out probs, mad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 There’s no reason why a pre season kick about should be £20. Needs feeding back to the owners, they’re meant to get it. There’s a cost of living crisis and for some this would be an opportunity to at least see the team. I really hope they’re poorly attended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 It’s definitely not cheap but for how few games I’m likely to get to during the season with tickets being difficult to get to, I’m going to the double-header. If you’re a season-ticket holder for instance you probably don’t need to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 no more £10/£5 cup games any more then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 £20 is quite expensive , and probably prices me out of friendlies Although I’ve got an invite for the Atlanta Friday night game which I am going to anyway. £15 seems about right / bit of a balance However I don’t begrudge the owners charging £20 as we all know the money is going back in to improve the club So hey ho …lets go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack j Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Loads kicking off about the ticket prices on twitter. This is why people talking of a 75 thousand seater stadium are deluded.

Geordie_once_removed Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Anyone know how to get tickets to the Mainz game in the Newcastle section. There is no information on the club's website yet.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 FWIW I think £20 is a bit much for a friendly, but £35 for both is decent. Non-league teams charge £20 a ticket, albeit for league games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 So the only way to get value is to pay £15 more and go to both games and perhaps also take the kids twice. I’m very disappointed with the pricing, if it’s a sign of things to come then Joe Public will be priced out. If any fans group has a route to the owners they need to call this out.

Paullow Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Normally wouldn't mind, as 99% of the time I wouldn't even be thinking of going, and I'd probably have the mindset of well if the demand is there, fair enough, more money for the club, but just this time I was planning on going, and it did shock me . I mean if they lose to Bilbao 0-1 or 0-2, it might be a little disappointing, but it certainly won't affect your weekend at all in what is effectively a meaningless match where you know the team is going to be relatively weak anyway and with them playing like 18 hours earlier, and a mix of better / fringe players in both. I guess time will tell with the numbers. It probably will do better than I was first expecting and if a grandad took 2 or 3 grandchildren then it's just like £30/40 (what it should have been for the majority), so they probably will do well, but yeah, not for me this time.

WillingtonMag Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Will give them the benefit of the doubt for these games maybe just a mistake on their part cup games through out this season and season ticket prices next season will give us a better indication. Hope we don't end up losing the good vibe between fans and ownership we currently have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) It is a bit much, but I’m guessing they are thinking of what is happening with season ticket and membership sales flying out. Also, the calibre of opposition is arguably better than anyone Ashley had coming here, and therefor they may have requested a higher fee and/or a greater percentage of ticket sales. I’ll be going purely because I’ll unlikely be able to get tickets elsewhere in the season, and other will likely do the same. There lies the problem I guess.

This is the problem. A quick look a other PL teams pricing for friendlies against similar standard opposition shows £20 is about the ‘industry standard’ price (think Bournemouth are doing £15 v Sociedad). But we’re so used to everything about the club being de-valued by Ashley, that we just expected £10 tickets. And like anything in life, if you have to pay more than you were expecting for something, you’re not happy about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I was just thinking the opposition doesn't really help either. I mean it's obviously better than Doncaster and what not, but I honestly couldn't name a Bilbao player without googling, and even if I did wiki, then I probably wouldn't have heard of many either. There obviously is a few links with that UEFA Cup match (my first season of being old enough to understand) and the Rob Lee match, but it's not Barca, Real, or Atletico, likewise Atalanta, a few good seasons, but traditionally a smaller club than us, and it's not AC Milan, Juve or Inter. It's a step up on recent years, traditional clubs, certainly in AB's case (both are AB I guess, but Bilbao), probably well matched, but they are not names that are instantly going to guarantee an extra 10,000 on the gate for name value alone. I'd far rather pay £20 for a cup match against a Cambridge or Oxford personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
