Newcastle United have announced a rise on season ticket prices but the Magpies are still one of the cheapest clubs to watch in the Premier League.
United CEO Darren Eales thanked supporters for their loyal backing and spoke about improving the facilities at St James' Park. The Magpies have made a partial increase to prices compared to top-flight rivals like Nottingham Forest and Fulham who have cranked up prices by as high as 20% and 18%.
A club statement explained: "Season tickets will rise by a blended average of 3.3% with the club freezing season ticket prices for juniors, while prices for other categories will rise by 5%. Supporters on existing long-term price deals will continue to have their prices frozen for the upcoming campaign.

"As well as reaching a first domestic cup final in 24 years last season, the Magpies achieved a top four finish in the Premier League last season and will be returning to the UEFA Champions League for the first time in 20 years in 2023/24. "Accordingly, enrolment details for domestic cup schemes and a three-match European package can also be confirmed below.
"The introduction of cup schemes follows a period of consultation with supporters via an online survey and in-person workshop, with 84% of those surveyed indicating a preference to guarantee tickets for all competitions by securing a seat with a package purchased in advance.
"Despite rising supply costs on matchdays, the club is continuing to invest on and off the pitch, with an overhaul of the first team training ground supplementing developments to the matchday experience at St. James’ Park, including enhanced concourse and hospitality facilities, increased connectivity, a new licensed standing area and proposals for a new fan zone.
"For the upcoming season, the club has upgraded its stadium infrastructure and will introduce mobile ticketing for all season ticket holders, supporting both efficient stadium access and ongoing sustainability commitments."
And CEO Eales said: "St James’ Park is an amazing place to watch football and we look forward to welcoming our incredible supporters back for our upcoming Premier League, domestic cup and UEFA Champions League campaigns.
"During the summer, we are continuing to invest in our facilities as we look to enhance the matchday experience for everyone, and we look forward to seeing our new licensed standing area in operation next season along with a new mobile ticketing system.
"I would like to thank everyone who took part in our recent ticketing survey and workshop. "Fan engagement is hugely important to us and it will continue to inform our decisions as we build sustainable success together."
