Season tickets. The club’s 2026/27 season ticket price list gives these adult prices:

How to buy tickets

Newcastle says tickets for men’s home matches are available only to The Mags, Mags+ and Junior Mags members. Members can use the Mags Member Ballot, the Mags Member Sale and the Mags Member Ticket Exchange for each home fixture. Junior Mags is for fans aged 17 and under. Membership also gives the option to join the official Season Ticket Waiting List. Newcastle publishes current membership prices on its membership page.

The Ticket Exchange is the club’s official resale route. Season ticket holders can list a ticket for resale on the club’s website, and if it sells they receive the pro-rata price of that match back as a refund. Details of the cup scheme are on the club’s 26/27 cup scheme page. Buy only through the club’s own channels.

How do you get to St James’ Park?

The club’s travel page says the ground is a ten-minute walk from Newcastle Central Station and around five minutes from Monument Metro station and the city’s major bus stations. St. James’ Metro station sits directly beside the stadium. Haymarket and Eldon Square bus stations are within easy walking distance.

There is no dedicated supporter parking at St. James’ Park on matchdays, no unreserved public car parks on event days, and traffic restrictions may be in place. The club runs Park & Ride services. The X50 Soccer Bus to the MetroCentre Park & Ride picks up from the top of St. James’ Boulevard, outside the Citygate building.

Season ticket holders and Mags+ members can buy a Magpie Mover matchday travel pass covering bus, Metro, ferry and rail. The club’s news piece gives its price as £35 for the full season.

What are Newcastle’s plans for St James’ Park?

Newcastle has not decided on a new stadium or a major expansion. On 19 May 2026 the club bought a substantial majority of the Grade I listed Leazes Terrace and said the purchase was part of long-term planning as it “continues to assess all credible and feasible options for the future of its home stadium.”

For 2026/27 the club has added a safe standing area on Level 7 in the Leazes West Corner, which it says will accommodate 1,741 supporters. Its summer 2026 works included £3.6 million for a new pitch structure, £2 million for new LED floodlighting and about 500 extra seats.

How we built this

We used Newcastle United’s website and price list for capacity, prices, membership, travel, tours and plans, and the Premier League’s stadium guide for the second capacity figure and the 1892 date. We did not use resale sites, estimates or media reports. Newcastle does not publish adult single-match prices for men’s home games, so we give none. We did not calculate any figures. Everything was checked on 28 October 2026.
