Newcastle United staff DID know that tickets meant for their supporters were being sold on to schools in Scotland — and have provided those seats to be resold by third parties at marked-up prices for 10 years.
The club said last week they were unaware of season-ticket seats being sold through third parties, after it came to light that 45 tickets were sold to a private school in Dundee for this Thursday’s Champions League opener at home to Barcelona.
Those seats were quickly cancelled and the season tickets removed without refund, after the club said the resale breached their terms and conditions.
