Tickets for the July 26 game in Columbus between Newcastle United and the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer go on sale at 10 a.m. Eastern time Wednesday, April 20 (tomorrow as we write this). The Crew ticket office informs us that Newcastle supporters will occupy the south end of the stadium. If you'd like tickets for Columbus-NUFC in the Newcastle supporters' section, call Nick White in Columbus Crew group sales at (614) 447-4153, or e-mail him at [email protected] - he'll set you up to be with the Black and White Army at Crew Stadium. If you don't catch Nick on the phone, leave a voice mail and he'll call back in short order.
Howay the Toon and we'll post more summer tour details as they become available.

Tom, do you have info. on the NUFC/Sporting KS game? KC is closer to me than Columbus, and I read there would be premium tickets available where you can watch a training session, meet the team, and get a ticket to the game. Will the Black and White Army be attending this game too? Please let me know when you get info. Let me know if you need contact info. Thanks!

Hi Ryan - we'll have details about KC as soon as they're set. Right now tickets for the Newcastle game are available only on the KC season ticket package. But we're expecting a single-game sale date and information about an away supporters' section any day now.

Bob,
Ok, thanks for the heads up. It's great to have a US based NUFC site for me to read daily. I have interacted with Tom a couple of times already, he has been very nice.
I joined you guys on your Twitter feed. I write for a Chicago Fire blog and just got my Twitter hooked up so I can follow you on the go. Keep up the great work!
