Ticket information for Sunderland away trip | OneFootball

Newcastle United has been allocated 2,528 away tickets, ahead of the ticket application window opening at 2pm (GMT) on Monday, 10th November. Sunderland will receive the same away allocation for the reverse fixture at St. James' Park in March, following an agreement between both clubs.

A revised away ticketing process has been introduced for the 2025/26 season as a result of consultation with season ticket holders, which saw over 8,000 fans cast their vote on the away ticket allocation process.

Key dates for Sunderland (A) ticket sales are outlined below:

Phase 1 – Monday 10th November (2pm)

Ticket application opens for all season ticket holders to apply for a ticket for this fixture.

Phase 2 – Tuesday 11th November (2pm)

Ticket application window closes. The club will process all submissions, allocating tickets in loyalty point order. A small number of tickets will also be balloted to those who do not meet the loyalty points threshold.

Phase 3 – Wednesday 12th November (2pm)

Supporters who are successful in the application process will be emailed by 1pm on Wednesday, 12th November, with an opportunity to go online and purchase their ticket(s) for the fixture. Tickets will be sold using a 'select your own seat' model, giving fans the flexibility to choose where they sit and who they sit alongside - whether friends or family.

This system removes the need for travel groups as supporters can make seat selections directly during the purchase window.

Phase 4 – Friday 14th November (2pm)

Once the purchase window for successful applicants closes, any remaining tickets that haven't been purchased will be offered to those who applied for the fixture and fall within the next tier of loyalty points - below the point at which sales were previously fulfilled. For example, a fixture sells out at 10 loyalty points, tickets will then be offered to supporters who applied for tickets with 9 loyalty points.

Tyne-Wear derbies (away allocations)

Newcastle United and Sunderland AFC have agreed to match away support allocations ahead of this season’s Tyne-Wear derbies.

Given the high-profile nature of the match, Newcastle United conducted a detailed safety assessment which concluded that balcony seating should be closed in the away section of the Leazes Stand for the fixture at St. James' Park in March. This measure, intended to support effective segregation and enhance fan safety, reduces the away allocation from 3,200 to 2,528.

Sunderland AFC has opted to match the revised away allocation for Newcastle United supporters attending the fixture at the Stadium of Light in December.
