Forty-five tickets for the match at St James’ Park on 18 September had been purchased by the Excessive College of Dundee – days after 110,000 followers had been in an internet queue for the remaining seats.
A spokesman for the varsity confirmed that they had been “knowledgeable by the accepted supplier that the tickets have been cancelled” after buying them in good religion.
However it’s understood that the tickets got here from unauthorised reselling by followers who’ve now had their season tickets cancelled.
Newcastle would not have an authorised reseller and the one method to promote season tickets is thru the membership’s official platform at face worth.

“The scenario this week has highlighted these frustrations as soon as once more. Ticketing generally is a divisive topic however we really feel united within the stance that tickets belong within the palms of real Newcastle United supporters and thank the membership for his or her strategy to those that misuse the system. We’ll proceed to request transparency throughout all ticketing procedures.”
