Europa League football returns to St. James' Park on Thursday and supporters can beat the queues before Newcastle take on Metalist Kharkiv in the round of 32 first leg.

Cash turnstiles will be operation, allowing fans to avoid the expected rush at the Box Office in the build-up to the big game against the Ukraine outfit.

But supporters are also being advised to arrive in good time on what is set to be a very busy night. Collection offices on the concourse above Shearer's bar will open from 3.30pm on the day.

Cash only turnstiles will then open from 6.30pm with adult tickets costing £15 and concessions £5.

This will apply to the following turnstiles:

Gallowgate Upper
Turnstiles 56/57 and 66/67
Gallowgate West Corner
Turnstiles 68/69/70
Leazes West Corner Level 2
Turnstiles 10/11/12
Leazes Upper
Turnstiles 29 / 30

Please note that Platinum Club members do not receive free tickets for European home fixtures.
