Honestly to say, a lot of frustration when it comes to members of Newcastle United and the ballot papers for Newcastle United Home tickets.
We all know that the demand is exceeding the offer for every match in St James’ Park.
As reported on the MAG this morning, more than 100,000 is not successful in the mood for tickets in Newcastle against Barcelona.
The same thing when it came to the Wachtrijverkoop for members of Newcastle United, more than 100,000 unsuccessful for the Barca match in that queue.
The fact that the club hands over a load of tickets to students and teachers at any private £ 20k per year school in Dundee does not help, this is clearly only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Newcastle United owners who are happy to deduce tickets to Neutrals, Non-New-Leden who £ 3, £ fans,
However, it gets worse for this Newcastle United and their chances of getting a ticket.
This morning the members of Newcastle United found out whether they were successful for the vote for Bradford tickets in the Carabao Cup.
I had contact with a few members (double digits) that I know and none of them was successful in this vote for a third round cup match against League One -Opposition.
The thing is, when Newcastle United came to Wembley earlier this year, it became clear that to make a realistic chance of a final ticket from Carabao Cup, as a seasonal card holder you had registered for the club’s schedule to automatically get every house Carabao Cup ticket ticket. Every round when he is drawn at home, the club automatically takes the money from your bank and you get a ticket. The club warning season Ticket holders, sign up to automatically get all cup tickets, otherwise you will not get a cup -final ticket (if/when we then go to Wembley).
So when holders of Newcastle United Season were offered for this season 2025/26, if they wanted to sign up to automatically get CUP tickets for the Carabao Cup (and you sign up for guaranteed FA Cup Home tickets), I think we can get the majority of the neighborhood cards or they will not get or they will get or not in the neighborhood card holders or they go or go or go or go or go to the neighborhood card holders or they go or go or go to the neighborhood card holders or they go or go to the neighborhood card holders.
When tickets are as cheap as £ 20 and £ 10 concessions, it makes an even simpler decision. I don’t think the Home Cup tickets are in many cases unused by holders of season cards, instead they will give them/sell them to family and friends.
The net result of all that is, however, that on top of all the other factors that go against them in getting tickets, even for cup competitions the Newcastle United now have a much lower chance than before.
So thousands and thousands of more Newcastle United and thousands and thousands of less Cup tickets, not exactly the chance to be successful!
In June 2025 I wrote the following about the Mag in an article …
The frustration for Newcastle United and trying to get tickets that was frustration is mainly due to two problems.
First and foremost, of course, how often the members of the Newcastle United are successful (and not successful …) in ballot papers.
Secondly, an extra frustration is the refusal of the club to be open in any way over the entire process. Many other clubs, such as Arsenal, that have similar voice processes such as Newcastle United, also give details about how many members enter each mood for home tickets, which percentage is successful, and so on.
The newest (2025) annual survey by NUST (Newcastle United Suporters’ Trust) in June (2025) included many areas, including ballot papers for home games.
When they asked fans who responded to their survey, from the Newcastle United members who responded, they gave a success rate of 16.8% (one in six) when they entered the ballot papers for home cards.
Nust says that this is very closely matching earlier research they have conducted with Newcastle United members in the field of ballot papers.
Nust also states that the club disputes about one in six success rate in the ballot papers of Thuis Ticket and claims that it is higher. However, the club refuses to say what the figure is.
The club will not even say how many members of Newcastle United are there, let alone how many enter each mood and what percentage are successful and unsuccessful.
Of all the people I know that Newcastle United are members, I have no one who has a success rate in ballot papers, leaves it no better than that, certainly not for Premier League -Huistickets. With anecdotal evidence I read from others, apparently along the same lines.
2025 Nust annual questionnaire of their members:
Mood and resale
‘The average ballot for ballot papers is 16.8%, which is consistent with our recent Mags membership and ballot examination research.
The club states that the success rate based on their data (which would be more accurate) is higher, but has not given a figure. ‘
When asking for this Newcastle United members I know, no one even seems to have a success rate of 10% in the ballot papers at home, certainly not since the beginning of the 2023/24 season to the day.
Maybe a move to Dundee would increase their success rate …
(Interested in the commentary part as members of Newcastle United read this, I can let me know how successful or not they have been in the home bills)
