Fulham v Newcastle tickets go on sale to NUFC fans later today.

The Newcastle United official ticketing site stating that the away allocation will go on sale to those with 130+ loyalty points from 2pm Wednesday 6 March (today).

With then a points drop at 2pm on Thursday (7 March), depending on availability.

The match at Craven Cottage is on Saturday 6 April and this morning, Fulham v Newcastle tickets went on sale to the home side’s supporters.

Fulham laying out when various fans can buy tickets – Members (one ticket each), then Season Ticket Holders (two extra tickets each as well as their own seat), then those with a previous booking history (two tickets each).

However… in their official announcement (see below), Fulham have stated for that last group of people…

‘*Booking History does not include previous fixtures against Newcastle United.’

An interesting one.

Back in January, Fulham were happy to sell thousands of tickets to Newcastle United fans in the home sections because they were struggling to sell tickets to their own supporters. No problem at all when it came to NUFC fans registering on the Fulham ticketing site and buying tickets, with the official Newcastle United away ticket allocation swiftly having sold out.

Fulham fans had filled Craven Cottage (24,320) for their League Cup semi-final second leg on Wednesday 24 January, but had shown little interest in buying tickets for the FA Cup fourth round tie against Newcastle United three days later.

The eventual crowd for that Fulham v Newcastle FA Cup match was 18,960, United winning 2-0, with not a big difference between the numbers of home and away fans at the match, including the thousands of NUFC supporters in the home sections.

The official Newcastle away tickets are going on sale for no more than £30 for adults, due to the Premier League away fan price cap

Whilst in the same (Putney) end of Craven Cottage, the home sections are priced at £71 for adults. However, no doubt, despite Fulham’s best efforts, plenty of Newcastle United fans will find a way to get tickets in amongst the Fulham fans. For so many NUFC fans, the only chance they have of getting to see their team is to try and buy tickets amongst the other club’s fans.
