The Newcastle United owners have now revealed what fans will pay for Champions League tickets, what season ticket holders will pay for Newcastle v Barcelona in the last 16.
The home leg is now confirmed as an 8pm (GMT) kick-off on Tuesday 10 March.
The Newcastle United owners made the decision to raise ticket prices for the Champions League home play-off game second leg against Qarabag.
Season ticket holders had paid £60 (adults) for each of the four home Swiss League matches.
Then that became £65 (adults) for ST Holders to pay for Qarabag on Tuesday gone.
Newcastle United season ticket holders now receiving an email on Friday (27 February 2026) afternoon for Newcastle v Barcelona:
‘Cup Scheme Payment Reminder
Payment reminder: Saturday 28 February
After drawing Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, we are contacting you regarding the Champions League Cup Scheme that you enrolled in, in accordance with the Cup Scheme Terms and Conditions. The payment for the Round of 16 fixture against Barcelona will be taken on Saturday 28 February.
Prices have increased by £4 from the play-off phase part of the competition.’
So adult season ticket holders paying a minimum of £69 for Newcastle v Barcelona.
What about Newcastle United members?
No prices released as yet for members for the Newcastle v Barcelona match.
However, I reckon I can guess what they will be, at least to within a maximum £1 error.
The minimum adult members price was £65 for adults when it came to the four Champions League games in the Swiss League stage.
That went up to £70 minimum for adult members (who have already paid £37 for a year’s membership just to be able to apply for tickets), when it came to the Qarabag game.
So for sure, considering this latest £4 rise for season ticket holders, I reckon it will be minimum £74 or £75 for adult members, when it comes to Newcastle v Barcelona.
Last summer, members saw a massive rise in ticket prices for Premier League matches this season, a huge price rise of 16% compared to last (2024/25) season. For example, the minimum adult prices for the more attractive PL matches, going from a minimum of £50 up to £58 to sit in the likes of Gallowgate and Leazes, paying even more for tickets in the East Stand and Milburn (unless qualifying to buy tickets in the family area).
Aston Villa
When it comes to Champions League ticket prices, the Newcastle United owners haven’t (as yet) gone quite as extreme as the Aston Villa owners did last season.
Aston Villa stunned their own fans and indeed many others in football, when revealing their ticket prices for Champions League home matches in the 2024/25 season.
For non-season ticket holders, Aston Villa charging adult members £85 (adult season ticket holders a minimum of £70) for the very cheapest Champion League seats last season.
Aston Villa released an official response to that criticism from their own fans, attempting to justify the Champions League ticket prices.
The Aston Villa owners blaming Premier League PSR/FFP for the ticket prices.
“We recognise and understand the depth of passion felt amongst fans and their recent frustration around ticket pricing. Achieving our sporting ambitions while complying with financial stability regulations requires difficult decisions.
“Financial fair play (FFP) rules prohibit owners from covering shortfalls to finance this ambition, so we need to generate as much revenue as possible through sponsorships, merchandise and ticket sales to ensure that we can keep the club where it rightfully belongs – competing and winning at the top of English and European football.
“Our priority will always be to match our collective ambition while ensuring that we are able to increase stadium capacity each season and provide the best matchday experience for all our fans.”
