Due the large number of season ticket
holders, there are only around 2,500 tickets available to home fans for each
game (more if the away team do not take up their full allocation). These
tickets are normally put on sale, at 9am on the Monday, two weeks before a
particular home game (but check out the official
website for full details). There are also a number of 'Executive
Seats' also available for each game, but obviously they are priced
accordingly. Home Fans: Away Fans: |

| By Air | |
|
Newcastle Airport is located seven miles
away from the City Centre. The easiest way to get into Newcastle is to go
by the Metro transit system. The airport has its own Metro station which
is situated next to the passenger terminal. There are frequent departures
to the City Centre and the journey time is 23 minutes. This costs £2 for
a single ticket or £3 return (£3.80 at peak periods).
You can also purchase a 'day saver' ticket for £3.50 which allows you
unlimited travel on the Metro System for one day. Change at Monument
Metro Station for a Metro to St James Park Station.

| Other Places Of Interest | |
|
The Newcastle night life is legendary,
with the bars around Biggmarket and a ferry the 'Tuxedo Princess' (which
has been converted to a night club) being very popular. A lot of fans tend
to stay over in Newcastle for this, or in the nearby coastal town of
Whitley Bay, which is only a 25 minute journey away on the Metro. Whitley
Bay itself is pretty lively and popular for stag parties. So why not make
a weekend of it? |
