I'm sure corporate is right but we also have hundreds for sale on reseller websites. 

 

Between non corporate areas being switched to corporate for the Sunderland game and all those tickets on 3rd party sites it's probably not too difficult to work out why people with extremely low queue numbers were still unable to buy tickets.

 

The 3rd party sites getting hold of tickets has blighted us for a few years now and sadly the club aren't interested but it's pretty shit on paid up members selling seats that have always just been standard seats as corporate for £720 and chucking in a meal at an off site restaurant. These same seats will be back on sale for £50 for the next home match after Sunderland v Bournemouth.

I find it very difficult to accept the PSR argument for ticket prices when we’ve still got no sponsor on the training kit.

I just hope those who ironically have voiced strong opinions about not wanting a new ground who’ve had an odd pop at me think again.

 

Anyway… It’s a great debate nothing more. Try not to get personal in your responses.

 

Mate, you said members were using the ridiculous experience on Monday as an excuse to have a whinge about ticketing. Ain't a chance I'm not snapping back at that. It was dismissive and condescending as I said. 

 

If there are 15k "spare" tickets then something is going very, very wrong when a queue number of <1000 isn't getting a sniff of a ticket, when that is meant to be half the member allocation.

 

To say that members kicking off at that are just looking for an excuse to have a moan is confrontational as fuck, whether you realise it or not.

I don't think PSR is a factor in general ticket prices TBH, the different will be fairly negligible. But taking a £55 seat and selling it for £300-750 might make a dent in it.

The club are entirely focused on growing income. I think this is understandable and why available  tickets are used for high revenue customers. If we want to compete with the top 6 at some point then I think we just have to suck this up. And I say this as a Member who didn’t get a ticket for the Mackem’s game and has come up with 1 successful ballot per season over the last 4 years.

Complete bullshit. There’s a tipping point and a trade off. In one of the UK’s poorest regions we’re fast approaching this. We aren’t a historical giant in the North West with huge amounts of day tripper churn from across the U.K. nor are we a London club with access to the tourist market.

No I didn’t. I was asked what started the debate and I gave that as the reason baring in mind the discussion started as the general sale opened/closed.  All the other stuff you’ve assumed I meant which I didn’t.

 

Ive explained what’s likely happened. Doesn’t mean I agree with it or like it but I’ve explained what the reality is. Not what you.. I… others would like to happen.

 

I never said that either. I refer you to my first paragraph.

 

Take your frustrations out on someone else. Thanks.

[Tross]

See they've added more seats in that block for offsite hospitality now. I hope the fuckers that snap these up choke on their 10am steak and chips and get nee where near SJP

What's the point in competing if genuine fans across all levels of society can't even go and see us compete.

 

Supporting Newcastle in the flesh becomes the sole activity of people who had season tickets pre-2021, or the descendants of people who had season tickets pre-2021 ? 

 

Anyone outside of that magic 35,000 is getting fucked up the arse with no lube by a club that's chasing financials at all costs. Unless they're wealthy enough to afford ridiculously priced tickets, or have connections to sponsors.

 

NUFC can suck my plums.

People weren't kicking off at not getting tickets which is what you said. They'd have to be completely stupid to think it would be a piece of piss getting tickets for a game against Sunderland. 

 

They were kicking off at there seemingly being an obscene amount fewer available. Big difference and completely justified criticism. 

 

If we're speculating that like 10k tickets have been given to corporate and sponsors here then that is completely unacceptable imo. 

 

Fine to leave it there, aye.

I'd say we are beyond the tipping point on ticketing already tbh. Member ticket prices are already obscene, the fact that normal members are now being squeezed out for more and more of these daft £700 packages even more so. 

 

If this is the cost of getting a bit higher up the league I'd rather we didn't pay it. The fact the club are doing it with zero consultation or transparency and fans (usually ones with their own season tickets already assured) are queuing up to justify it is just entirely depressing.

I'd rather not compete with top 6 than suck that up.

[bobbydazzla]

I've been kicking off and I'm not even really that arsed about getting a ticket.

 

I would have had to cancel a weekend away that I'm looking forward to and to be honest I'll have an easier life by not having to cancel the weekend away.

 

It's the Machiavellian scheming by the club that fucks me right off, not the lack of a ticket.

 

We're told "never a choice always a mag" and yet the cunts can't even give us transparency on ticket distribution.

 

The might as well say "never a chance of tickets, always a mug"

I’m not arguing there was an obscene amount fewer available and club not above criticism. I’m just not as surprised as some and can see the club’s short term justification. Not saying I like it. I’m just dealing with reality in my corner. 

 

For example I believe if there is 1000’s of companies on a waiting list for boxes/seats going into the future (Who was it who had the figure given on a recent stadium tour?) then it’s these games the club will cherry pick a handful each to secure a commitment going forward.

 

Don’t ever think I like how the game is going though. I paid £3 my first game which doesn’t seem that long ago.

 

Happy to. Just a debate on my behalf. Not even my own opinions in some cases.

Unfortunately at this time, we are not able to share the number of tickets available in the Mags Member Sale. Should any information be shared, it will be communicated across appropriate channels.
 
If you have any other questions, do get back to us.

I'm thinking of a protest for transparency for all our members.

 

This is just a prototype, so I'm hoping for better suggestions.

I’m sure the club would love to be bombarded with photos of their members’ “members out”.

Like I say, that's just a prototype. It could quite easily develop in to something like 'Roll wu sleeves up, but wu foreskins doon for wor members'.

 

I'm gonna contact Wor Flags, see if they could maybe unfurl a huge banner with all members.

I have emailed again asking for full transparency.

 

For this fixture, we followed exactly the same process used for all other matches this season. 
 
Mags Members had access to the same amount of ticket allocation as every other match in the 25/26 season, through the same official channels— the Mags Member Ballot and the Mags Member Sale.
 
Demand for tickets continues to be significantly higher than the number of seats available, which means that some supporters will unfortunately miss out, even when doing everything correctly.
 
To explain this in more detail, we’ve recently updated our ticketing transparency statement. This outlines how tickets are allocated, the current demand picture, and what we’re doing to keep supporters better informed.

If it's the same ticket allocation as a normal game then 400 people were able to secure 5000+ tickets.

 

But NUFC say it was business as usual, nothing untoward happened, nothing to see here, move along now please ladies and gentleman, don't ask any more questions.

 

Do they think we're thick as fuck or what ?

Unless they’ve let 10000 people in the queue in from 10:00 as a Battle Royale free-for-all someone’s telling porkies.

That's just blatant lies though. I can go on the stadium plan right now and see seats that all season have been available for standard admission prices now showing as £720 seats with a knife and fork symbol on them instead of a solid blue colour.

 

Staggering that they are prepared to peddle this untruth when anyone can access the stadium plan and see it for what it is. A pack of lies.
