Newcastle Cancels 45 Dundee School Tickets for Barcelona Match

The club will reissue the seats through its official system pending an inquiry into how the block reached a private school outside Newcastle.

Overview

  • Newcastle said the tickets were cancelled for a breach of season ticket terms and will be resold through the club’s existing process.
  • The Newcastle United Supporters' Trust reported being inundated with complaints after heavy demand left many members without seats.
  • High School of Dundee said it bought the tickets in good faith via an approved provider, while the club said it has no authorised re-sellers.
  • Reporting suggests the tickets may have originated through unauthorised resale, and the club is investigating their provenance.
  • The club has stepped up enforcement this season with 78 memberships or season tickets cancelled and thousands of accounts under review for potential touting.
