This important step will ensure supporters are fully prepared for the transition to a soon-to-be-introduced digital ticketing platform, with further information to follow during the close season.
Fans must update their personal details at book.nufc.co.uk by 5pm on Wednesday, 31st May to ensure they continue to receive access to key information and retain access to matches with eligible season tickets.
It will also give supporters an opportunity to check their contact details and communications preferences so that they can receive key information from the club.
SEASON TICKETS - ID MUST ALIGN
Supporters must ensure the name and identity registered to the relevant season ticket account corresponds with the person using it to enter St. James' Park next season, when there will be heightened checks.
Accordingly, changes to identity and contact details in online ticketing accounts will be permitted during a penalty-free period until the deadline of Wednesday, 31st May. Changes to names of season ticket holders must be submitted via this form.
Supporters should also ensure their season ticket is only registered for concessionary categories to which they are eligible. This can also be done via this form.
Email addresses and email preferences can be updated by logging on to your account at book.nufc.co.uk.
After the penalty-free period comes to an end, if season tickets are used by unauthorised supporters, or the season ticket holder is found to be benefitting from concessionary categories that they are not eligible for, the season ticket will be subject to cancellation without refund and the holder may be unable to renew it.
IMPROVING STADIUM ENTRY
Updating personal details is just the first step in the introduction of the new digital ticketing platform for the 2023/24 season.
The digital ticketing platform will ensure more efficient entry to St. James' Park using smartphone ticketing at turnstiles and will improve sustainability by eliminating the use of paper and other resources for physical tickets.
It will also introduce an approved method for season ticket holders to transfer their ticket for specific matches to nominated, eligible individuals when they are unable to attend themselves. Further information will be announced in due course.
A SAFER ST. JAMES' PARK
The new digital ticketing platform will assist the club in ensuring St. James' Park is a safe, welcoming and enjoyable place to watch football.
It will ensure only those eligible to use season tickets are able to access the stadium, ensuring the potential for ticket touting and system abuse are minimised.
