Have Newcastle United ticket prices gone too far? On Monday morning at 10am, the official Members’ ticket sale (which comes after and is separate to the ballot sale) opened for Newcastle United’s upcoming home fixture against Bournemouth. In recent years, any Member sale for a Premier League match would be instantly sold out. When a routine home game against mid-table opposition leaves hundreds of empty seats days later, it is time for the club’s decision-makers to ask a sharp question: Have ticket prices finally gone too far? ​Back in February 2016, Fenway Sports Group (FSG) announced plans for a new £77 match ticket and the club’s first-ever £1,000 season ticket.
