I made it to four games last season on two trips, one hospitality and three ballots for what it's worth. honestly, I’m not intending to offend. I have more respect for someone like yourself than the sizeable section of entitled season ticket holders who go to every game just to piss and moan and scream abuse at our players But I just don’t think a domestic membership scheme should be tailored to suit an international audience I’d be 100% in favour of an international scheme that made it easier for someone like yourself to get tickets on the occasions when you’re able to be here. You deserve it for the effort you’re willing to put in to attend a game Edited June 11 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You deserve it for the effort you’re willing to put in to attend a game It's a shame we don't have any idea how it really works. I was an international member and I got both tickets for the "second match" from ballot when they had an idea I was there already (Dortmund and Everton). No idea how sophisticated the system is but making it somehow easier on the international pool to get a second ticket when people have already got to Newcastle would make a lot of sense. Or even a possibility to apply for two matches together when the schedule is known. Obviously that would be best just for me but it's so hard to talk about these without any selfishness.

Pablo Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) Any idea what ‘St James’ Park events’ is. I expect it is a Sam Fender concert… but could we feasibly consider a home match at SJP to be an event occurring at SJP.

Obviously that would be best just for me but it's so hard to talk about these without any selfishness. there should definitely be a way in which an international member can secure tickets for a couple of games per season a few months before the game takes place so they can book travel, accommodation and plan the trip to the city well in advance of the game In principle it’s similar to how they’ll happily sell hospitality tickets months in advance (at daft prices obvz) Edited June 11 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overthinking this… Other concerts at SJP probably Fender will be back on tour for 3rd album but probably not playing SJP And I don’t see why NUFC fans should get priority on any SJP gig tickets. It’s music not football If DJ Otzi was headlining the Stadium of Light I’d be very pissed off if Massive Lads Fans got priority on tickets ahead of me Edited June 11 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 They need to start a loyalty scheme for members at the very least whereby you accumulate points based on how many home games you attend (obviously away games are a non starter as things stand). Then for the big games they sell it to members on a loyalty points basis. When we play the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Utd etc if nothing else it would make it more difficult for away fans to infiltrate home sections and then as time goes on, the members who go to the most games get priority.

Agree but hard to become a loyal member if you're only getting 3 a season from the ballot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with the principle of that. The obvious problem is that whether you get to a game now is as much due to luck as it is ‘loyalty’. It would, as you say, make it a lot more difficult for away fans to get tickets, so that would be a positive, however how it plays out amongst the home support, giving one fan a potential advantage over another, just because they’ve been luckier in ballots, I’m not sure.

TBG Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Thankfully we're in a new 200,000 seater stadium so 40,000+ scrambling around for around 8,000 tickets should be a lot easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be an overnight fix but by law of averages, over time the more games you apply for, the more games you'll attend, and the more points you'll accrue. It's been a tried and tested method at other clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
