As long as you get your application in before the window closes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Cheers.... expected more to be sold out. This wait until Wednesday is torture praying that I can get one decent place in the queue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re in p4 and it’s not a massive hassle to be online and in the queue on Thursday morning, I’d still probably do it, and hopefully someone who’s in sharp will post on here and you’ll know whether it’s worth hanging on or just going back later when it’s quiet.

Thought they would all have gone straight away tbh. me too but whilst I would have booked SS years ago today I opted for the adjacent block to let the younguns have it - I expect uk be standing all the way through anyway as I’d imagine most round us will be regular away supporters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Aye pretty sure our whole end will be standing tbf, especially in the lower tiers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The higher ones are actually quite scary 🙂 I managed to get a cheap ticket for the Chelsea v Arsenal charity shield when down in London off a tout last minute chancing my luck. Was sat fairly high up but still a good view. The incline is quite severe and the barriers a lot lower than you’d think would be safe 🙂 If we score I’m predicting casualties 😆 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have purchased your tickets by 8am on Thursday 9 February Edited February 6, 2023 by Danh1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the people I generally go to the match with aren't season ticket holders. They're either members or I just get mates tickets on a game by game basis on my season tickets. So its the bus there and back on my Todd. Feel like I right Billy no mates. Anyone else in the same boat? I can do one better. I am going down on the Saturday on me todd just to experience the pre match atmosphere and coming back up to Newcastle on THE day of the match. thankfully I will be meeting up with mates on the sat for the day but it's mad to think that I was a season ticket holder for 15 years and only stopped because of Ashley and now the day I have dreamt of my whole life is here and I'm on the outside looking in. I guess it's the final kick in the bollocks from Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFCDoog Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) I didn't realise how easy the criteria for pot 1 was, just a ST holder with 25 points who has gone to one cup game. You'd think that would be a hell of a lot of people. My hope is that there aren't many people in pots 4 and 5 who don't already have a ticket from an earlier bracket.

Wilson Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Can imagine it'd be a bit worrying if you hadn't received anything to confirm you're in the category though, especially considering it tells you to check your email when joining the queue so you should definitely receive one.
