Gateshead FC start their new season this weekend, here's all you need to know if you want to get to a Heed fixture this season

Following an impressive 2021-22 season where they won the National League North title by seven points, Gateshead are making a long awaited return to the top level of non-league football this weekend when they travel south to take on Dagenham and Redbridge in the opening weekend of the National League season.

Many Newcastle United fans hold a soft spot for the Heed following a series of loan deals between the two clubs which saw Newcastle youngsters play south of the Tyne to build experience of senior football.

This is all you need to know if you want to watch a game at the Gateshead International Stadium this season.

How much are Gateshead FC tickets?

Gateshead matchday tickets can be bought online through the club website. Adult tickets cost £18 this season while concession tickets, which cover those over 65 and young adults, cost £12.

Students can watch fixtures for £8 while youth tickets only cost £5.

Season tickets also remain available through the club which are available at a cost of £295 for adults, £195 for concessions, £125 for students and £75 for children.

Season tickets can also be paid in instalments.

How can I get to the Gateshead International Stadium?

Gateshead’s home ground has been in use by the club since 1977 and can be easily reached from the A184, better known as Park Road for anyone coming from either Newcastle or the South Tyneside and Sunderland areas. Parking is available at the stadium on matchdays.

Gateshead Stadium Metro station is a ten minute walk away from the stadium while the 93 Gateshead Loop bus stops directly outside the ground.

When are Gateshead's home fixtures this season?
