Ballots

How does the ballot work?

Each member has a unique supporter ID and can therefore only register once for the ballot (so if you are included in a group application, you are unable to also make an individual application at the same time). The maximum number of supporters who may be included within a ballot application is six.

If you wish to be included in the ballot so that, if successful, you would be seated together in a group with friends and/or family members, then you must register all the proposed members of that group in one application only.

To apply for friends and family members, they must be members and be strongly linked to your account via the 'My Friends & Family' option within your online ticketing account. Please ensure that, before submitting a group application as lead applicant, you have (i) completed and checked this in your account settings and (ii) obtained the prior consent of those friends and/or family members on whose behalf you are applying.

It is imperative that you check and select the correct age band for each ballot applicant, since failure to do so may result in an unsuccessful application.

Each applicant (and, in the case of a group application, the lead applicant submitting on behalf of the group) will need to enter credit/debit card details when submitting a ballot application. No payment will be processed at the point of registering in the ballot.

Once the deadline date has passed for ballot registrations, the ballot will be drawn randomly.

I require an accessible seat, how do I apply for this in the ballot?

If you would like to apply for the accessible ballot, and you have a preference of where you would like to be situated, please email into [email protected]. This will assist us when it comes to running the ballot. You will still then enter the ballot in the standard process like below:

Go to the book.newcastleunited.com or click the link via the email you receive then login.

Step two:

Go to the ballot tab and click add.

Step three:

What you will notice is the only options available are ambulant and personal assistant. If you are not registered as disabled, please select adult ambulant. When we run the ballot, you will be charged the correct rate.

Make sure you enter the correct supporter number into the ballot as we are unable to change this once the ballot has been drawn.

If you have any issues, please contact disability support on 0191 201 8457 or the box office on 0344 372 1892.

How will I be notified when the ballot opens?

On the morning of the ballot each paid member receives an email notifying them that the ballot will soon be open. Supporters can also visit book.newcastleunited.com for updates.

If you do not receive the email notification, please contact [email protected]

If I enter the ballot, how can I make sure I am sat with friends and family?

To ensure you are sat with friends and family, you must all be strongly linked together, and you must enter the ballot in one application.

To add supporters to your friends and family please follow the below steps:

If I am successful in the ballot, when will I make payment?

The funds are debited from your account as soon as you have been drawn successfully out of the ballot. Please make sure you have the funds in your account on the day of the draw to ensure your payment goes through.

What happens if I am successful in the ballot and my payment fails?

If your payment fails, you have 48 hours to pay. You can do this online, through your ticketing account or by calling the box office on 0344 372 1892.

Please note, we are unable to process payments provided via email.

How many tickets can I apply for in the ballot?

You can apply for up to 6 tickets in one ballot entry if everyone is a paid member and are strongly linked together.

Can I choose what area of the stadium I want to sit in and how much I want to pay?
