Ticket News Gateshead (a) - Mon 5th May 2025

[blueveined]

Maybe sales will start (or resume) tomorrow

Looks like more adult tickets are already available - we’ve just been able to book ours.

 

[Smiffy]

Allocation is around 2,400 by the looks of it. Plenty.

 

[rshepp]

Can't see flights being a reasonable cost

Not enough time to get back to the airport?

Get up 2am, leave house 3am, drive to Bristol arrive 5.30 am, flight to Newcastle 7am, arrive 8.05 am, Greggs breakfast, bit of sightseeing, taxi to Gateshead FC, game, then leave ground 5pm sharpish, rush to catch 6.10 pm flight back, arrive Bristol 7.15 pm, get back to car 8pm, back home in Swanage 10.30 pm
Flight cost £118, petrol and parking £40 taxi fares £40, Greggs sausage roll and coffee £3, other food and drink £25, match ticket price £20 ish ... say £250 for whole day, plus loss of Brownie points at home (much more costly).

That is cutting it ludicrously tight for your flight home!

Rubbish away support as usual.

I really hope they show it at Roots Hall for those not going

 

[TITSUP]

I still don't get why the club would lay on free/subsidised travel for this fixture. If we win, we then most likely have 2 away games to follow, what then? They will be midweek night games. Public transport is a nightmare/impossible for that. Surely laying on transport then would make more sense.

Didn’t Ron provide coaches for a tenner to Blackpool for Webby’s first game back (third stint)?

That’s a good start with a week to go. We had 700+ for our first visit in the drizzle. Last season it was freezing with the puddles on the athletics track turning to ice but at least we came home with a draw.
Now time for a win in the sunshine fellow Shrimpers!

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Yep £167 each return (from Wickford).
We have family in the Scottish Borders and have never travelled there by train because of the cost, We have always flown from Stanstead to Edinburgh and hired a car. Much cheaper in cash and time.

Currently £82 return each on easyJet from Stanstead

Anyone wanting to go by train a two together railcard costs £30 but would pay for itself as you get a third off this and all other journeys (such as the playoffs) you do together for a year.

 

[Special Blue]

Got flight and ticket!
Could be expensive few weeks!
U.T.B

 

[hlane17]

Didn't realise just how expensive the train would be. Any good alternatives for a Wickford lad?

No way I'm doing £200 on train/flight alone as much as I want to be there.

Agree, and it's all in theory, nothing booked.
Instead i could just wake up late, go and look at the allotment weeds, sit down with a beer or two, take another look at the weeds, have another beer, crank up the laptop using wifi from the next door community hall, link in to DAZN, watch the match, look at the weeds again, and be home at 5.30 pm. Total cost circa £25

 

[rararblue]

65e return to Newcastle from here in Spain, albeit having to fly up late in the evening on the Sunday. Back Monday evening though.

 

[Holy Joe]

Maybe another trust coach being put on

Message me mate. Us Wickford boys gotta get there

 

[Suffolk Blue]

Booked the train back in Feb for £58 (with a Senior Railcard) from Bury St Edmunds. Going to be a long day, 8am to midnight. Just hope it’s worth it.

With a family & friends railcard discount for me and my son .. it still comes in at £160 .. it’s no wonder people drive everywhere.
