Quite incredible – Newcastle United members ballot for AFC Wimbledon tickets is oversubcribed! | OneFootball

At very short notice, Newcastle United members were told they could enter a ballot to get AFC Wimbledon v Newcastle United tickets, after the match was forced to be switched to St James’ Park.

Newcastle United members given 24 hours to enter the ballot, which closed at 10am this (Wednesday) morning.

The game of course to be played in six days time against the League Two side, 7.45pm kick-off on Tuesday 1 October.

If anybody still doubted the sheer demand for NUFC home tickets these days and just how many Newcastle United members are desperately chasing them every game at St James’ Park.

This is surely the proof of just how sky high that demand is, just how many Newcastle United members / fans are desperate to see their team in the flesh.

The Newcastle United members who entered the ballot have now received their emails, informing them of how they fared in the ballot.

The big news is that incredibly, this AFC Wimbledon ballot for Newcastle United members was oversubscribed!!!

Whilst many members have been told they can access and select their seats at 2pm this afternoon, other Newcastle United members have received this email instead…

Who knows how many thousands of Newcastle United members were unsuccessful and didn’t get ballot tickets for AFC Wimbledon.

So the only chance for the unlucky ones is when the small number of tickets kept over for the queue process (as happens every home match after a ballot) go on sale tomorrow (Thursday) morning.
