Newcastle United fans sent free BT Sport pass for Tottenham match – Check your junk mail!
An email has been sent to Newcastle United fans giving them free BT Sport access to the Tottenham match.
The email (see below) was sent to qualifying season ticket holders by the club on Friday.
The match is on Wednesday (15 July), a 6pm kick-off at St James Park.
For some reason, when the BT Sport passes were sent to season ticket holders for the Villa match, an inordinate number of emails from NUFC appeared to have gone into junk / spam folders,
so please check those, if you are a season ticket holder who hasn’t received an email for this Tottenham game yet..
Looking at what the club have sent out (see below), if more than one season ticket holder lives at the same address then they only get one pass.
One issue with this, is that whilst your season ticket might be registered at a certain address, you might live elsewhere. Some fans might be kids who have now moved out of home and their season ticket still registered at their parents house, whilst some season ticket holders have an arrangement where friends / family sort their tickets for them. In these cases you may well not have not got an email, nor of course a code to use.
Here is the club info below that all qualifying NUFC season ticket holders SHOULD have received.
Any Newcastle United Season Ticket holders (who are aged 18 or over) who haven’t received an email from the club with their pass, should contact boxoffice@nufc.co.uk
Good luck!
Email sent to Newcastle United fans (season ticket holders) by the club:
BT Sport Match Pass for Newcastle United v Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday 15 July
BT Sport is offering current season ticket holders the opportunity to access Newcastle United’s upcoming home game against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday 15 July.
To qualify for the offer season ticket holders MUST:
1. Be over the age of 18
2. Have a valid email address linked to their account
3. Have their account registered to a UK address, AND
4. Not be a current BT Sport customer
PLEASE NOTE: ONLY ONE BT SPORT MATCH PASS WILL BE ISSUED PER HOUSEHOLD. (So if one address/email has four season tickets linked to their account only one code will be issued). The Box Office is very busy so updates to accounts cannot be made over the phone. Any changes to your accounts made online will be valid for any future offers.
Thousands of season tickets holders will benefit from the partnership between BT Sport and Newcastle and it is designed to reward loyal fans. However a very small minority of fans benefitting from the offer have shared their unique ID and passwords with others, this is not permitted. BT and Newcastle take this matter extremely seriously and will take the appropriate action against anyone who shares their unique IDs and undermine the club and offer in this way.
