Newcastle United’s FA Cup third round tie against Cambridge United is set to be a sell-out.

The Magpies will host the League One club on Saturday (3pm kick-off) and there are less than 500 tickets - which are all in Level Seven - available for home supporters at St James Park.

The U’s are also set to be backed by a strong travelling contingent after with around 4,500 of the 5,000 tickets they were allocated for the tie now sold. The remaining tickets are on general sale and are priced at £11 adults and £6 concessions.

However, those prices will increase to £20 adults and £10 concessions if tickets are bought on the day of the game.

The two sides have not met at St James Park since November 1992 when a David Kelly hat-trick and a late goal from Gavin Peacock helped Newcastle to a 4-1 win in the old Division One.

Kevin Keegan’s side completed a league double over the U’s later in the season and moved a step closer to promotion into the Premier League as Steve Howey, Andy Cole and David Kelly all found the net in a 3-0 win at the Abbey Stadium.
