Newcastle announce 2025/26 season ticket prices - Key changes and CEO statement

After releasing our latest accounts (2023/24) earlier this week, the club have now announced full details of season ticket prices ahead of the 2025/26 season.

For the third consecutive season, prices have gone up, with the latest prices and plans showing a 5% increase for standard priced season tickets.

See full details below and a message from CEO Darren Eales explaining the club's decision:

Summary of changes for 2025/26

As revealed in a Newcastle United statement on Thursday afternoon, this is a summary of the changes:

• Season ticket prices, across the stadium, will increase 5% from the 2024/25 standard pricing.

• Junior ticket prices will remain frozen, as last season. We will continue to offer all concession pricing.

• All season ticket holders will have the ability to spread their 2025/26 season ticket payments over a 12-month period (interest-free) - a change from the previous eight-month period.  - This will spread payments over a longer period (monthly payments may be lower due to the longer payment schedule).  - The maximum increase experienced by an individual adult season ticket holder will be £4.85 per month / £3.06 per game (excluding those moving category)

• Appreciating the impact on fans coming off the long-term season ticket price freeze, any season ticket holders who wish to move their seats to a more affordable seating area within the stadium will be permitted to do so, subject to availability. 

• Recognising the incredible support the team has received to reach another Carabao Cup Final, there will be no increase in all Domestic Cup Scheme ticket prices for Carabao Cup and FA Cup matches in 2025/26.

• Season ticket holders who pay by Direct Debit (including those on the long term  deal who paid via Direct Debit) will receive an email from the club regarding their auto-renewal, and do not need to take any further action unless they wish to cancel their season ticket.

•  To add greater flexibility with payments, we are rolling out a free 12-month Direct Debit scheme to all season ticket holders.

The club statement adds: All other season ticket holders can renew their season ticket at book.newcastleunited.com from 10am on Monday 10 March. The renewal deadline is 5pm on Friday 21 March.  You will not be able to renew your season ticket after this date.   Cup Scheme information, including details on how to enrol, will be communicated at a later date.

Darren Eales' message to fans

In a message to supporters attempting to explain the latest increase, CEO Darren Eales claims the latest rise is "unavoidable" if we want to "keep pace" with our Premier League rivals:

Eales said: "Raising ticket prices is a decision we make reluctantly but it is one that is unavoidable if we are to keep pace and build towards our collective ambitions.

"In a world of profit and sustainability rules, we must continue to face up to challenging decisions and find a balance that keeps football affordable while ensuring the club is able to compete. Without this approach, achieving the sustainable success we all crave simply becomes impossible.

"We continue to relentlessly pursue other revenue opportunities, and we have achieved rapid commercial growth to fuel our progress, as well as offsetting growing operational costs."

"I want to recognise the huge role our season ticket holders continue to play in making St. James' Park a fortress. We understand price rises are difficult, and we have therefore taken steps to ensure there is even greater flexibility around payments.

"Our ongoing commitment to affordable football is reflected in our pricing for league and cup matches at St. James' Park. We continue to fair very favourably against other clubs in domestic and European competitions, and in comparison to other elite sports and entertainment events. That commitment remains.

"I want to acknowledge the club's Fan Advisory Board members for their clear feedback. I am sorry that this is not the universal price freeze you asked for, but I hope you understand why this is a decision we must take after careful consideration.

"I thank all of you sincerely for your continued support and hope as many season ticket holders as possible will join us for another exciting season."
