Buy Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace tickets for the 2026/27 Season and secure your seat at St James' Park on Sunday 23 May 2027, with kick-off currently listed for 15:00. This is Newcastle's last home game of the Premier League season, a week before the campaign closes with a trip to Hull. For the Toon faithful, it is the final chance to see the team at home until August. That always makes it a sell-out.

Premier League kick-off times are confirmed once broadcasters make their selections, so the 15:00 slot may move. Fans following Newcastle United know how hard it is to get through the door at St James' Park, and the last home date of the season adds a lap of appreciation to the usual demand. Every listing for this fixture comes from verified sellers.
St James' Park sits right in the city centre, on the hill above Newcastle's main shopping streets. Its two giant cantilevered stands tower over the skyline, and the noise from the Gallowgate End carries all the way round the bowl. Newcastle have played on this site since 1892.
Every home match at St James' Park is in demand, but this one adds a second layer of emotion. The final home game is the day supporters stay behind to applaud the team, and plenty of fans who struggle to get tickets all season target it above all others. Season ticket holders who might skip a mid-season fixture are far more likely to attend.
The visitors bring their own story. Crystal Palace are playing in the Europa League in 2026/27 after winning the Conference League final in May 2026, beating Rayo Vallecano 1-0 for the club's first European trophy. That follows their FA Cup win in 2025, and it gives Palace a profile on the road that they did not have a few years ago.
Recent results add an edge for the home crowd. Newcastle have won the last three meetings at St James' Park by an aggregate of 11-0, including a 5-0 in April 2025. Palace supporters will travel north wanting to put that record right.
Newcastle's own recent success keeps the stadium full. Their League Cup win in March 2025 ended a 70-year wait for major domestic silverware, and with no European football for the club this season, every Premier League home game carries the full weight of the campaign.
There is little supply to absorb all of this. Newcastle sells home tickets only to members, through a ballot and a members' sale, and season tickets are allocated through a waiting list. By the time a final home game comes round, almost nothing reaches the open market through the club.
The stadium's future adds a little extra sentiment. The club has been weighing up whether to expand St James' Park to around 65,000 or build a new stadium nearby, and in 2026 it bought a large part of the Leazes Terrace buildings beside the ground. No decision has yet been announced, but supporters know the old bowl will not stay the same forever.
Not through the club. Tickets for men's home matches at St James' Park are available exclusively to members of The Mags, Mags+ and Junior Mags schemes. Members can enter the Mags Member Ballot, buy in the Mags Member Sale and use the members' Ticket Exchange for each home fixture.
Membership itself does not guarantee a seat. It gives you an entry in the ballot and access to whatever remains afterwards, and for a final home game the ballot is heavily oversubscribed. The club publishes on-sale dates only once broadcasting selections are confirmed, which leaves overseas fans little time to plan.
Season tickets are harder still. Newcastle runs a season ticket waiting list that members can join, but it offers no help for a single match.
Higher membership tiers add a few extras. Mags+ members receive a priority ticket window for St James' Park events alongside retail and experience benefits, while adult season tickets in the top category cost close to £1,000 for 2026/27. Neither route opens a door for a one-off visitor. Younger fans can join as Junior Mags, which gives under-18s the same ballot access as adult members.
A verified resale marketplace sits outside that system. Seats can be secured months before the club's ballot opens, with your stand and quantity chosen in one step. That certainty is the main reason travelling fans use the resale route for this fixture.
Five factors drive the price: where you sit, overall demand, how close the match is, the competition context and the hospitality tier. Here, most of them point upwards. In the 2026/27 season, a members-only sales model and the last home game of the campaign push this fixture well above Newcastle's face values, which stadium guides put between £41 and £112 for adults. Category A fixtures sit at the top of that scale, and Category B matches run slightly lower.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £80 – £140 | Budget-conscious fans and solo travellers | Upper levels of the Milburn and Leazes Stands, high but with a full view |
| Longside standard | £110 – £190 | Couples and small groups who want a side view | Lateral sections of the Milburn Stand and East Stand |
| Lower tier / central | £150 – £260+ | Fans who want to be close to the pitch | Central lower sections either side of the halfway line sell first |
| Premium seating | £200 – £350+ | Buyers who want the main-stand view | Prime central Milburn Stand seats, limited in number |
| Hospitality / VIP | £350 – £900+ | Corporate guests, celebrations and gifts | Lounge access, dining and padded seats; inclusions vary by package |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Hospitality pricing follows a different logic. You are paying for dining, lounge access and a guaranteed seat outside the ballot as much as for the view. For many corporate buyers, that guarantee is the whole point.
Price movement for a late-season fixture follows a familiar pattern. Listings are steadiest in the months before the ballot, then tighten once the kick-off time is confirmed. Single seats are usually easier to find than pairs or fours, and often cost less.
The final week before a last home game brings its own pressure. Kick-off times are fixed only once broadcasters have chosen their matches, and that confirmation tends to bring a late wave of buyers who were waiting for certainty. Prices in those last days rarely fall.
St James' Park has four stands of very different sizes. The Milburn Stand on the west side and the Leazes End to the north are the two giant cantilevered structures, the Gallowgate End to the south is the traditional home end and the East Stand is the smallest, a single tier running along the touchline. Capacity is a little over 52,000, all seated.
The St James' Park seating plan shows how the levels and sections are laid out. It is worth a look before buying, as the upper tiers of the two big stands are very high.
The stands differ hugely in size. Stadium guides put the Milburn Stand at around 15,000 seats, the Leazes End at 13,000 to 16,000 including its corners, the Gallowgate End at about 12,000 and the East Stand at around 5,000. Home supporter group Wor Flags produces tifos at most home matches, which makes the view from the side stands worth the price on a big day.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milburn Stand, central | Neutrals, first visits and hospitality guests | High | The main stand with the broadcast view; Level 4 hosts one of the hospitality lounges |
| Milburn Stand, upper levels | Fans who want the full panorama | Mid to high | Very high but with sweeping views over the pitch and the city |
| East Stand | Groups and families | Mid | A single tier facing the Milburn Stand, with no upper levels to climb |
| Gallowgate End | Home fans who want to sing | Mid | The heart of the home support; wear black and white or neutral colours only |
| Leazes End, home sections | Home fans wanting height and atmosphere | Mid | Lower and middle levels of the north stand, below the away section |
| Away section (Leazes End, top tier) | Crystal Palace supporters | Lower to mid | Up to 3,000 seats in the top tier, entered via turnstiles 91 to 94; around 14 flights of stairs, with a lift available |
Neutral and undecided fans are safest in the Milburn Stand or the East Stand. Palace red and blue belongs in the away section only. St James' Park is one of the few top-flight grounds where the visiting fans sit at the very top of a stand rather than near pitch level. If you want to compare views across every area before buying, the St James' Park listings show what is available throughout the ground.
Turnstiles across the stadium open 90 minutes before kick-off. Bags are searched on arrival and large bags are not allowed, so travel light if you are coming straight from the station.
Accessible seating and wheelchair bays are available on Level 7, along with accessible toilets and changing facilities. Fans who need them should contact the club's accessibility team well before the match.
Home supporters gather in Shearer's Bar inside the ground and at The Strawberry on Strawberry Place before kick-off. Visiting fans tend to use the bars near Central Station, which most pubs in the city welcome as long as they behave.
Newcastle runs a wide hospitality programme, and it is the main way to secure a seat outside the members' ballot. Options range from street food in The Barracks to a three-course bistro menu in WINGS and Directors' Box seating. The 2026/27 line-up runs from relaxed social spaces to private boxes.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Tidings | Couples and groups wanting the newest space | New for 2026/27, with seasonal all-inclusive dining, premium drinks and pitch views |
| WINGS | Business guests and football purists | A suite inspired by the club's great wingers, with a three-course bistro menu |
| The Rooftops with Fenwick | Celebrations and social groups | All-inclusive champagne and cocktails, seasonal small plates and post-match DJ sets |
| Executive Box | Companies and private groups | A private balcony overlooking the pitch, with five courses served through the day |
Inclusions shift between packages, so read each listing for food, drink, seat location and timings. Other lounges include the Park Grill, with a grill-style menu and executive seats, and a Level 4 Milburn Stand lounge offering a light bite before the match.
For the last home game of the season, hospitality tends to sell before standard seats do. Off-site packages at partner restaurants near the ground are also offered for selected fixtures, and they include post-match access to The Barracks.
Stadium tours add another option for visitors. The club runs classic tours on non-match days and a matchday tour, which can be combined with a ticket for a full day at St James' Park. Accessible tours are also available.
For selected fixtures the club also offers off-site packages at partner restaurants a short walk from the ground, including Gaucho and Chaophraya for 2026/27. They suit groups who want a sit-down meal in the city before heading up the hill.
Most tickets for this match will be digital. Allow time to receive them and make sure they work on the device you plan to use.

Read the listing notes for delivery timing, section and any restrictions before you buy. Bring valid photo ID. Charge your phone fully for mobile entry and keep it handy at the turnstile.
Getting there could not be simpler. St James' Park has its own Metro stop, and Newcastle Central Station is a 10 to 15 minute walk away. Most fans walk up from the city centre, which turns black and white for hours before kick-off. The ground is within easy walking distance of most city-centre hotels.
Allow extra time after the final whistle. The Metro station beside the ground gets very busy, and many fans simply walk back down to Central Station, which takes little longer than waiting for a train.

Newcastle is an easy city for a football weekend. The ground is a short walk from Central Station, the Metro links the airport directly to the city centre and digital delivery means you do not need a UK address. Ask for seats together on the listing before you pay rather than after.
Build some slack into your plans, as Premier League dates and kick-off times can move for broadcasting. If you are making a longer trip, a Palace home match at Selhurst Park in south London can turn one football weekend into two. On the day, the pubs and bars around Gallowgate and the city centre fill up well before kick-off.
Crystal Palace have visited St James' Park 15 times in the Premier League, starting with a 3-2 Newcastle win on the final day of the 1994/95 season, a campaign that ended in relegation for Palace. Palace's spells in the top flight were short-lived in the 1990s and 2000s, so meetings came in bursts until both clubs settled in the division from the mid-2010s. Since then, this has become a regular fixture with a clear home advantage.
Newcastle's relegations in 2009 and 2016 interrupted the series twice, and each time the fixture returned with Newcastle on top at home. Palace, meanwhile, have grown from a yo-yo club into FA Cup winners in 2025 and Conference League winners in 2026.
Newcastle have lost only three times to Palace here, and never by more than one goal. Tight games were the norm. Five of Newcastle's nine wins finished 1-0, all of them between 2014 and 2022. The last three meetings broke that pattern completely, with Newcastle scoring 11 times without reply.
What makes this fixture distinctive is the contrast in styles and in support. Newcastle's home crowd is famous for its noise, while Palace bring a vocal travelling end of their own after the most successful spell in their history. With the season almost over, the May meeting also carries the emotion of a farewell to the home crowd. The reverse fixture, Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United, is played in October.

Figures calculated from the match-by-match results below, cross-checked between StatMuse records and season-by-season Premier League results.
A few patterns stand out. Newcastle are unbeaten in their last five home meetings, winning four. They have also kept 11 clean sheets in 15 home meetings, and Palace have scored more than once here only four times: twice in the 1990s, in the 3-3 of 2014 and in their 2021 win.
Draws are rare too. Only three of the 15 meetings have ended level, and two of those were goalless, in 2005 and 2022. The 3-3 in 2014 remains the only score draw.
Scores are shown with Newcastle first, newest meeting at the top.

Every score confirmed in at least two independent sources, including StatMuse, season-by-season league results and Premier League, ESPN and club match records.
Read down the list and the eras are clear. The early meetings were scattered across Palace's short top-flight spells, the late 2010s produced a run of narrow Newcastle wins and the recent visits have been one-sided. If Palace are to end that run, the 2027 meeting will need a performance far closer to their 2021 win than to anything since.
Not from the club, which sells home tickets only to members. Resale listings and hospitality packages are the routes open to everyone else.
Yes. Newcastle finish the campaign away at Hull on 30 May, so this is the last chance to see them at St James' Park in 2026/27.
High in the top tier of the Leazes End, with their own turnstiles. Visiting colours should stay in that section.
Turnstiles open 90 minutes before kick-off, and the climb to the upper levels takes time, so aim to be inside at least half an hour early.
Yes, when a seller lists consecutive seats. Filter by quantity first, as blocks of four together become scarce in the final weeks.
