Rafa Benítez’s side welcome the Championship outfit to St. James’ Park on Saturday, with kick-off scheduled for 5.30pm GMT.

Please note that tickets are on sale for the lower bowl part of the ground only.

Tickets were priced at £10 for adults and £5 for concessions when bought in advance, but admission has risen to £20 and £10 respectively on the day of the game.

Due to the high volume of pre-paid collections, bookings by telephone and internet ceased at 4pm. However, the St. James' Park stadium box office will remain open until 7pm on Friday, and will reopen at 9am on Saturday morning. Supporters are advised to arrive early to collect or buy tickets on the day of the game.

The collection offices (Gallowgate concourse, above Nine Bar) will open from noon on Saturday.
