Location and tickets

Date: Sunday 22 March

Kick-off: 5pm GMT

Tickets are available online via the Newcastle United Box Office until 4pm on Friday 20 March. After this time, tickets can be purchased from the Gateshead Box Office on match day.

Match tickets are priced at £8.50 for adults and £3 for juniors and concessions. The match day Box Office at Gateshead International Stadium will be open from 2pm.

Getting Here

Please note, due to the Men’s Tyne & Wear Derby at St. James’ Park (Kick Off 12pm) we expect disruption and delays to travel networks around the city centre. Please give yourself plenty of time to travel to Gateshead Stadium.

We recommend hopping on public transport. The nearest Metro is Gateshead Stadium (15-minute walk), and the 94 bus stops on Neilson Road. No general parking on match day—only pre-paid Season Parking Passes (Lower Car Park, 100m from the entrance). If you need to drive, Quarryfield Road (NE8 3AE) is a 20-minute walk and costs about £5.70 for up to 12 hours.

Season Ticket Holders get discounted travel with the NUW Magpie Mover - find out more here.

What to Expect

Scan in at your turnstile and get stuck in, our match days are packed with family-friendly activities on and off the pitch. Food, drinks, and merch are waiting for you in the Tyne & Wear stand.

Food & Drink

Tuck into pies, sausage rolls, chips, and hot dogs from the catering outlets along the concourse or grab a cheese toastie or pizza slice at the main reception. Head to the pitch side Fan Zone for Ramble & Roast coffee and hot chocolate, plus crepes and crumbles, and the hog roast van.

Fancy a pint? Grab a drink from the concourse - alcoholic or soft, it’s your call. Thanks to the Drinking in the Bowl pilot, you can enjoy your pint right at your seat.
