The final remaining tickets will be on general sale until lunchtime on Friday. There will be no sales on the day of the game, but the club is still taking pre-paid telephone bookings with tickets available for collection from the away turnstile at St. Andrew's.

Tickets can be purchased by calling 0844 372 1892 (calls cost 7p per minute plus network access charge) or in person from the St. James' Park Box Office.

Kick-off on Saturday is at 3pm and United have been allocated just short of 5,000 tickets for the cup clash at St. Andrew's. Seats initially went on sale to season ticket holders with 50 or more loyalty points last month before being released for general sale.

Since going on general sale, prices have increased to £20 for adult non-season ticket holders, £15 for seniors and students, £10 for 13 to 18-year-olds and £5 for under-13s.

Any supporter purchasing at the incorrect age band risks non entry on matchday as upgrading at the visiting club is not necessarily permitted on the day.

Age bands away from home vary on a game-by-game basis and do not necessarily mirror your age band held at Newcastle United. It is essential that the correct age band is selected at the time of purchase to prevent any disappointment on the day at the visiting club.

As with last season, in order to be sure of sitting together season ticket holders and Members must be registered in an away travel group before purchasing tickets (maximum of ten persons per one group).

All youngsters under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult or they will be refused entry at the turnstile.
