If and when we get more seats, we should not increase the number of season tickets. This seems the logical direction both to increase revenue and allow access to the highest number of fans possible.

 

 

 

Doubt they will. If we go from 53k to 70k I reckon it be split around 7K corporate and 10K membership or vice versa.

ref the Cup Scheme and possible Final's

 

During the renewal period, Season Ticket holders will have priority access to opt-in to: 

 

A Carabao Cup scheme that will automatically trigger the purchase of the existing Season Ticket seat (subject to availability) for any home 2024/25 Carabao Cup matches (does not include the final, if reached). 

An Emirates FA Cup scheme that will automatically trigger the purchase of the existing Season Ticket seat (subject to availability) for any home 2024/25 Emirates FA Cup matches (does not include the semi-final or final, if reached). 

 

What will happen if the club progresses to the Carabao Cup Final or the Emirates FA Cup Semi-Final/Final?

 

 

Priority access to tickets would be given to those who have already opted-in to the respective Cup Scheme or package. Information on any other priority periods will be communicated subject to progress in cup competitions.

Man U have about 50k season ticket holders, Tottenham 45k, Arsenal 40k and Man City 40k.

 

Going off their current capacities that’s the following percentage of season ticket holders.

 

Man U 68%
Spurs 73%
Arsenal 67%
City 75%

 

If we’ve got 33k season tickets, might be slightly generous number, that’s us at 63% the lowest from that lot.

 

Should we move into a new stadium housing 70k, if we didn’t take any new season ticket holders our percentage would dip to 47%.

 

What should be taken into account with the above clubs and Liverpool is that bar City perhaps, they benefit massively from day trippers to boost match day sales.

 

I think leaving our season ticket numbers at 47% would be a massive risk with such a big ground for the less attractive fixtures.

Apparently there is an application to install new advertising screens behind the gallowgate on the area they have cleared above the metro, surely this means no expansion

this one? looks like it is a Nexus thing not a Newcastle United thing.

Also, I definitely don't want to move if I can't get season tickets :lol:

If they don’t offer new season tickets then there needs to be some sort of re-think as to what members get.

 

Allowing members to apply for away tickets and be on an equal footing for cup finals etc would be a start. You can’t have a 70k stadium and the same 25k locked in to all the benefits, as there will likely be another 25k who attend nigh on every game but through whatever circumstances don’t have a season ticket.

Definitely, and let's be honest Man city haven't had the day trippers that Liverpool, Man Utd even Spurs and Arsenal being in London. 

 

Living in South for last 11 years I rarely get train up as cost is always 3 times more than driving. London Manchester etc have major airports as well...

Newcastle United are leaning towards building a new stadium adjacent to their existing St James’ Park home.

 

Telegraph Sport can reveal for the first time the club’s board are getting closer to recommending to Newcastle’s Saudi Arabian owners that the best option for their stadium expansion is the construction of a £1.2 billion new home with a capacity of just under 70,000.

A new stadium occupying some of the existing land is easily the most palatable option if moving is the plan but

Telegraph Sport understands that the new bowl-shaped stadium would be higher than St James’ Park, making it an even more imposing feature of the city’s skyline

 

Sigh.
