Please read ourInteresting to see how the La Liga club decided which Athletic Bilbao fans got tickets for the Champions League match against Newcastle United at St James’ Park.Great to see the transparency as well that their club show to Athletic Bilbao fans, when it comes to detailing where match tickets actually go. Sadly, unlike what we witness with Newcastle United, who show minimal, if any, transparency. In the Champions League, the rules dictate that away fans are entitled to at least 5% of the stadium capacity. So with a capacity of just over 52,000 at St James’ Park, away fans entitled to at least 2,600 tickets when playing away against Newcastle United in the Champions League. Newcastle United have to make at least 3,000 tickets available to away fans for Premier League matches and it is actually just over 3,200 tickets that are the maximum made available. However, it appears that Newcastle do only give around the 5% minimum the rules dictate for Champions League games.
