Missed out on Spurs in the ballot but just this minute got one in the resale for West Ham! <diva>
Nice turn of fortune. 👍🏼
I’m there in all its Barracks glory next week ??
The only tickets Ive been guaranteed all season
Never been there before but a bit concerning that it opens about 1030 am
Gonna be a long long day 🤣
Enjoy. I'm coming over on the Friday with the missus and staying over so a night in the toon for us! Travelling home after the game so I'll be watching without the benefit of beer goggles!

I've got tickets for West Ham & Everton and I'm not even looking forward to the games if I'm honest... all these injuries man it's ridiculous <laugh>

Can anybody recommend some parking options for Tuesday night? I’m driving up from the Midlands and will get there around 4pm. Ideally somewhere that I can quickly and easily get out of to head south again after the game as I’m driving straight back home. Don’t mind if it’s a half hour walk or something from the stadium if it means I’m not stuck in loads of traffic afterwards.

In the past I’ve parked at the metro centre and got the bus, but as it’s an evening game and I’m driving straight back I think city centre somewhere would be better this time.

I always use the Just Park app and have never had a drama - last 2 games I've parked on Worsdell Drive. Basically a bunch of apartments with folk renting out their parking spaces. It's close to the High Level Bridge and about a 20 minute walk away from the stadium and it's not in the city centre so less of a ball ache to get out of.

Hope that helps <ok>

We tend to park at the bottom end of Jesmond (Lambton Road ish, but loads of off street round there which will be free from 6ish), then you just walk through the uni, about 15 minutes walk.

I've got a ticket for the Spurs game but can't make it - if anyone is a member and wants it I'm happy to sell at face value, so just let me know and I'll link to your supporter account.

Or alternatively, if anyone can make the game but money is tight, I'm happy to gift the ticket. I can't go regardless so would rather someone who actually supports the club gets to go, and I'm not selling it for mass profit on ticket sites because I hate those bell ends.

I would have bought it from you but as I wasn't lucky in the ballot the missus booked a holiday and I now find myself in Mallorca on the day of the game.

Just out of interest is it possible to transfer tickets between members with linked accounts? I thought only season ticket holders could transfer their ticket but I'm probably wrong as usual.

That will probably be me being an idiot. I've a friend who is a ST holder who has linked his account to mine and did the same, so I assumed member to member would be possible. Apologies if not.

Either way, if anyone wants it and can tell me how to get it to them, I'm game.

No problem, I'm not sure who can do what with their tickets as the whole process is very confusing to me.

I've transferred STs and had a right faff on transferring a CL one bought in the cup scheme, it's confusing as hell. Good luck, and hope someone takes it.

Think there'll be a deadline at some point though?

I've no idea. I've been pretty lucky in the ballots this season (unlike most) and managed to make them all so far, but I can't do the Spurs one sadly.

At this point I'm not so fussed about the money, I just don't want to see a ticket go to waste

Members can't transfer tickets, only ST holders. To swap between members you have to forward the email on with the link to download the ticket to whoever you want to sell the ticket to. Anyone who downloads the ticket from the email to thier google/apple wallet can use it regardless of who it was initially emailed to.

Gutted - I’m moving house the week after else I’d have happily bought it off you!

Much obliged <gent>

I only came on here for first offer due to pure nostalgia - I've only posted about 20 times in a decade but I've been hovering around and always found this forum full of fans like myself, who actually care about the club and want to go to games. I don't do social media so I came here as first call.

If TJR is correct, let me know if anyone has a friend/family member who might want the ticket and they can have it on me. They can enjoy Paul Dummett not only playing in 2024 but also bringing his finest wrestling moves to the game and ruining their evening 🙃

For anyone travelling to games, I stayed at the Hotel Balmoral on Tuesday night and it was only £59 + free parking.

15 minute walk to the stadium (pretty much straight), rooms were spotlessly clean, big bed - no complaints at all. There's a curry house attached to it, didn't eat there but seemed pretty popular.
