Newcastle Away Ticket Sales 'Profile' 10:27 - Mar 31 with 860 views

The Newcastle Away fixture has sold-out today (10+ Window) and looks like it will remain so, so the Ticket Sales 'Profile' for the fixture will be as below.

Summary

The Club announced an allocation of 3204 tickets had been provided, total seat-map count ran at the same.

The seat-map suggests 32 wheelchair + assistant spaces, 333 seats unavailable for purchase (probable breakdown; 64 for the Ballot, 269 for 'Club Allocation' or steward seating).

There were 2839 seats made available for sale in 'points-based' sales windows.

1938 (68.26% of available seats) seats sold in the 30+ window.

268 (9.44%) seats sold in the 25+ window.

152 (5.35%) seats sold in the 20+ window.

265 (9.33%) seats sold in the 15+ window.

216 (7.61%) seats sold in the 10+ window.

Points of note:

* This fixture is the largest Premier League allocation this season by some distance.

* This is the first Premier League fixture that's shown a decline in purchases in the 30+ window (probably an element of apathy creeping in and it's a looong way to travel).

* As a result of lower than usual sales in the top window, combined with the large allocation, this fixture provided a rare opportunity for 10+ to have a crack with a a decent number of tickets making it that far.

* This is the first fixture in quite a while where the 15+ Window passed without selling out, It's as good an indication as we've seen on the rough numbers eligible in 25+, 20+, 15+, fairly small numbers, suggesting a high number of eligible Members in 30+, a high number in 10+, but not so many in between.

Really pees me off the sh1tty allocations given to away fans in the PL (no doubt because they can price gouge home fans or tourists instead. Stadiums like this, Spurs,West Ham with 60k+ capacity giving smaller allocations than many championship teams is a joke.

If they really cared about atmosphere of the ‘product’ the PL would encourage more away fans since they are less likely to be casual fans, and typically noisier.

Another reason im completely apathetic to going down, genuinely very little I like about the PL.

For a club with massive demand like Spurs or Newcastle, why would they restrict their own fans getting tickets, to allow away fans to get more when, in the majority of cases, the away team wouldn't take up the allocation anyway?

Why would Newcastle bother giving ITFC say 5000 tickets, are there really another 2000 fans who would snap up those tickets? Are Fulham, Brentford, Leicester, Wolves, Palace going to see 5000 away tickets every year at Newcastle?

In the championship, the only teams who give up big allocations to away fans are the ones with stadiums they can't sell out and so will happily give them to anyone who will take them. As soon as they get any sort of success, they wouldn't offer that many. ITFC did the same too- we would never give Leeds the amount of tickets we gave them 5-6 years ago.
