Newcastle Falcons has confirmed that the age for accessing concessionary ticket prices for both men and women at Kingston Park is to be 60.

The club has received a number of complaints following the announcement that the age would rise to 65 from next season onwards.

But the club can confirm that the age is changing to 60 to make men and women equal.

Newcastle Falcons wishes to apologise to all supporters for the confusion, and anybody affected by the change is advised to contact the club on 0871 226 60 60 to book their ticket or to arrange partial refunds where applicable.
