Pep Guardiola’s table-topping City side will visit St. James’ Park on Wednesday 27th December (kick-off 7:45pm GMT) for a festive fixture that will be shown live on Sky Sports.

With high demand anticipated, tickets are highly unlikely to reach general sale, meaning the only way to secure a match ticket for this fixture will be via the members’ priority period.

Due to the incredible support of Magpies fans, who committed to season tickets in huge numbers over summer 2017, half-season tickets will not be made available this winter.

Lee Charnley, Newcastle United's managing director, said: "Our fantastic fans ensured season ticket numbers reached almost 40,000 this summer.

"We made a decision to cap season tickets at this level, to ensure we could still make a fair proportion of tickets available to supporters on a match by match basis."​
