St James' Park Seating Plan

For the clearest view, choose the central East Stand along the eastern touchline, which gives unobstructed longside sightlines close to the pitch. For comfort and hospitality, the central Milburn Stand lower tier and its premium clubs are best. For atmosphere, head to the Gallowgate End or the Strawberry Corner safe-standing section.

The best value is generally in the shortside Gallowgate End and the lower Leazes End behind-goal blocks, which usually cost less than central longside seats. The upper Level 7 of the Milburn and Leazes complex is also among the cheapest, but it is a high, distant vantage point reached by a long stair climb.

Away supporters are housed high in the Leazes End at Level 7, in approximately blocks L7F to L7M on the north side of the ground. Allocations can be larger for cup ties, sometimes extending the visiting section within the upper tier.

The Gallowgate End is the traditional home of the most vocal Newcastle support, and the Strawberry Corner between the Gallowgate and East Stand is the club's rail-seat safe-standing singing section, holding around 1,800 fans and delivering the most intense matchday atmosphere.

Yes. There are accessible wheelchair and companion positions across all four stands, both pitchside and elevated, with reported figures of around 234 wheelchair spaces. Accessible tickets should be booked directly through Newcastle United's ticket office, and supporters with mobility difficulties should avoid the upper Level 7, which involves a long stair climb.

All seats are covered, with the Milburn Stand and Leazes End sharing one of the largest cantilever roofs in Europe. The lower Gallowgate and East stands are also roofed, though wind and driving rain can still reach front rows and corner positions in bad weather.

The four stands are the Milburn Stand (west longside, the main stand), the Leazes End (north, formerly the Sir John Hall Stand), the Gallowgate End (south) and the East Stand (east longside). The Milburn Stand and Leazes End are double-tiered and joined by filled-in corners, while the Gallowgate and East stands are lower single tiers topped by executive boxes.

St James' Park has hosted England internationals and major tournament fixtures, and on rare occasions large concerts where a stage is built at one end (typically the Gallowgate or Leazes end), removing those sightlines and creating a standing pitch area.
