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

[DCC]

I have to bring my daughter home from Uni, i cant !
My boy the cheeky sausage is doing the weekend in Gateshead, leaving me to it !
Bet he'll want a lift home eh...

Kids eh…

Tickets bought on the day of release, but hotel booked months ago as we had a clash of commitments. We will drive, as its the easiest way for us. It became clear as soon as the fixtures came out we would struggle to go to yesterday's game. So the trade off was booking a weekend away in Gateshead and combining the trip with a couple of days off.

When we booked the hotel it was in the period that we still weren't 100% certain that the club would survive! So to be heading there in control of our play off destiny is nothing short of incredible!

Just checked train prices. Good grief ..

A good old train special at £50 a pop would be good.

Yeah, waiting to hear from a fellow Suffolk shrimper about the cost of going on the train.
Not looking forward to the outcome!!

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

Yeah, it pays to have a concession card and book about a month in advance. But all a bit stable door bolted too late, I guess.

Unless I’m reading it wrong pay on the gate works. Much as I’d love it I can’t see us selling out the away stand.

In the good old days under Jobbo or the Rat the club would annouce a charter flight at about £450 each, including complimentary peanuts however. When nobody books they'd reduce it at the last minute to £125.

Obviously not from Southend & probably going to Teesside, just to relive the horror of that Scarborough trip. What fun we had!!

I'm living in New Biggin these days which is about 20 mile north of Newcastle. Is there pay on the day at Gateshead.

The problem is I’m currently in HK, unless it’s an e-ticket?

 

[Tommy2holes]

I will watch on TV as I'll be in Spain but surely the club can subsidise a couple of coaches to get as many supporters as possible to Gateshead.

The train prices and flight prices will be beyond most peoples budget.

 

[HertfordshireBlue]

It seems quite a few problems are arising from fans debating how they’re actually going to get there..

If I was the club I’d be getting straight to grips of this sorting out additional coaches or travel guides to make sure we sell out as much as we possibly can. Also regular updates on how many we’re going to be taking always encourages others too.

We don’t want to miss an opportunity for a complete takeover of Gateshead if it means we get playoffs!

You can book online and either download them to your phone or print them out (our preferred method). At least you have them!

I'm driving up from Norfolk, where I live, on the Sunday and staying with a friend in Hartlepool overnight before the last leg to Gateshead on the morning of the match. Return back to Hartlepool again afterwards for another overnighter via the local pub to celebrate and then back home on the Tuesday. Ticket purchased online via their website. Simples.

 

[Pak Power]

This is almost a Play Off game in itself ! COYB

 

[Shrimp and two veg]

For many people, coaches will get back too late at night, we have to be up for work in morning, coach turns it into a 7hr drive. Two hundred quid for these trains is a joke, its a 4and a half our drive ffs !

 

[Shrimp and two veg]

And that A1 is normally an excellent route. I did a days work in London, came home and left Wickford at 10am to get to Hartlepool away at 2pm, so bloody easy. I didnt realise how close i was to Newcastle lol
