The club was given 4,800 seats for the game on Wednesday, 14th December, and they are currently on general sale at a maximum of four per person.

Due to the close proximity of the game there will be no more online sales. Supporters can buy tickets in person from St. James' Park or by telephone (0844 372 1892 - calls cost 7p per minute plus your standard network charge). They can be collected from window nine at the Wigan Athletic ticket office at the North-West corner of the DW Stadium.

The decision has now been made that there will be no sales on the day of the game for Newcastle fans. Therefore, the last opportunity to buy tickets directly from Newcastle United will be 3pm on Tuesday.

They are priced at £25 for adults, £22 for seniors (65 and above), £20 for under-18s and £10 for under-11s. There will also be a £1 booking fee per ticket.

Supporters who buy concessionary tickets are advised that they should carry ID with them at the game. Should any supporter be found trying to use a concessionary ticket to which they are not entitled to, the ticket will be seized without recompense.

Anyone under the age of 11 should be accompanied by an adult.

Please note that tickets purchased during the general sale period will not accrue loyalty points; these are awarded only during the season ticket holder priority booking phase.
