2023/24 memberships on sale from 10 a.m. tomorrow

Newcastle United has this morning announced that 2023/24 memberships will go on sale from Wednesday the 26th of July at 10 a.m. (tomorrow morning). Memberships are priced at £37 for adults and £20 for under-18s and there's a new "international" category for both, catering for overseas supporters.

Fans have been waiting for an announcement on memberships for a long while now, with Newcastle's first Premier League home game against Aston Villa less than three weeks away.

The membership announcement can also be taken as a confirmation that no new season tickets will be put on sale for 2023/24 after just 1,000 new ones were sold ahead of the 2022/23 campaign. It seems the club is reluctant to add any season ticket holders to St. James' Park while plans for stadium expansion are still very much under consideration.

In its announcement on the official website, the club confirmed that members would get access to a range of "exclusive benefits" and "priority access to home match tickets". However, it turns out that rather than getting access to tickets before they go to general sale, as has been the case previously, membership will now only provide access to a ballot, similar to the one employed for the 2022/23 Carabao Cup Final at Wembley.

This also points to memberships being unlimited this season, after they sold out in 2022/23 due to demand, though this is by no means confirmed.

Here are all of the benefits that NUFC memberships will offer:
