Newcastle United Carabao Cup Final: Ticket Allocation and Buying Guide

Newcastle United have announced the ticket allocation and pricing for the upcoming Carabao Cup Final at Wembley Stadium. Here’s everything you need to know about securing your seat for the eagerly awaited match.

Ticket Allocation

Megcity United has been allocated 31,939 tickets for the West End of the stadium, slightly fewer than the 2022/23 final. However, the club has taken steps to allocate a higher percentage of tickets to eligible supporters, ensuring a fairer distribution process. The club extends its gratitude to the Fan Advisory Board for their input and valuable feedback on the ticketing distribution.

Pricing Categories

Wembley Stadium divides the ticket pricing into five categories, each offering a range of prices:

Concessionary rates apply for supporters aged 65 and over, children aged 16 and under, and young adults (17-21).

How to Buy

Tickets will be sold online in priority periods based on specific criteria, and supporters will be allocated to a designated ‘pot’ in line with their eligibility. Only one ticket can be purchased per supporter.

From Monday, February 10th, eligible supporters in Pots 1-3 will receive an email advising which pot they are in. Suppliers in Pots 4, 5, and 6 will receive notifications if tickets become available through a ballot.

During your relevant priority period, you will be directed to purchase tickets online at book.newcastleunited.com. Ticket sales cannot be conducted in person or over the phone.

The price categories will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis in each pot, subject to availability. Disabled supporters can purchase tickets online or by contacting the Box Office on 0344 372 1892, subject to availability.
