The domestic package includes 19 league games plus one FA Cup and one League Cup match, while the four Champions League group games will add another £936 in costs, bringing the overall outlay to over £4200.
However, fans have been left furious at what is seen by some as a blatant money grab by the club, alleging they are looking to push out season-ticket holders in favour of more attractive one-off visitors at an inflated price for a single match.

“We’ve been attending St James’ park for decades but this is going to be our first season without any tickets as we simply cannot afford the rise.”
It is not the first time Newcastle have angered their corporate match-going fans. Corporate box holders, who get 10 seats included in the expensive package which costs upwards of £50,000 for the season, only received four tickets for the Carabao Cup final win over Liverpool in March.
The club insisted the situation was a complex one, as general admission season-ticket holders needed to be part of the cup scheme and needed to have bought tickets for a certain number of Carabao Cup matches in order to guarantee a cup final ticket.
Hospitality clients did not need to buy tickets in earlier rounds and were still entitled to a cup final ticket per seasonal place purchased, up to a maximum of four tickets.
