Club Member Code of Conduct
McDonald Jones Stadium is a family-friendly venue, and the Club will not tolerate any behaviour that threatens to compromise anyone’s enjoyment or feeling of safety. While barracking and supporting your club is a vital part of the game, offensive or aggressive behaviour (including yelling and swearing when dealing with opposition fans, staff, agents or NRL or other event staff) will not be tolerated. Members who consume alcohol on a match day are to do so responsibly. Drunkenness will not be tolerated. The club will not tolerate any form of this behaviour towards staff, agents or NRL or other event staff whether that be verbal or written prior, during and after match days. Members who breach the behaviour code of conduct may face penalties including cancellation of Membership without refund. The Club endorses the NRL’s stance on vilification and has zero-tolerance for Members or supporters who abuse the opposition, opposition supporters, or umpires on grounds of race, religion, gender or sexuality.

Auto Renewing Payment Plan
- By signing up as a Newcastle Knights member using a valid Mastercard or Visa, you authorise the Newcastle Knights to arrange a transfer of funds from your nominated credit card at the amount applicable to your membership type for the following season and at the nominated intervals as advised in point 5.
- The Newcastle Knights reserves the right at any time to increase the membership fees to be charged by providing at least 30 days notice in writing. In addition, membership fees and associated direct debit amounts may also increase in line with membership eligibility rules. Following such notice, the members authorise the Newcastle Knights to increase any direct debits from the members nominated account. If you do not wish your membership to roll over into the following season, you will be required to inform the Newcastle Knights prior to the conclusion of the opt out period as stated on your written opt out communication.
- Monthly Payment Plans cannot be cancelled once the new season’s payments have begun.
- Refund of membership fees is not permitted for change of mind or for changes in personal circumstances that may prevent a member from enjoying the full benefits of membership. Where a member has a right to a refund under the Australian Consumer Law, a refund will be provided.
- For Members selecting the Annual Payment option, full payment will be debited from your nominated card from the previous season on 1 November 2024. For members opting into a monthly payment plan option, the first instalment will be debited from your nominated card from the previous season on November 1 2024. The remaining instalments will be deducted on the 3rd day of each month, or the next business day if the 3rd day falls on a weekend or public holiday, through until the end of the payment schedule. If a member renews or joins after the date of the 2nd instalment using a monthly payment plan option, your first deduction will equal the sum of the months passed to bring you into line with the auto-renewing payment plan. The date of an individual payment deduction can be delayed to an alternate date upon request. The payment plan schedule (noted below) will then revert back to the third of each month post payment.
- If any payments fail to transfer between institutions on the 3rd, further attempts will be made to clear the fund transfer.
- If your debit payment is returned or dishonoured by your financial institution, an email or SMS will be sent requesting immediate payment. Any fees levied to you by your financial institution will be payable by you.
- The Newcastle Knights may suspend your membership and restrict access to McDonald Jones Stadium if on two consecutive occasions or months your financial institution does not honour the debit payment. We will notify you via email or SMS should your auto-renewing payment arrangement be suspended or cancelled.
- It is your responsibility to ensure that: (a) the account details you have provided are correct, including notification should the expiry date change; (b) you have sufficient clear funds available in the nominated account on the scheduled drawing date.
If you believe that a withdrawal has been initiated incorrectly, please contact the membership team on 1300 465 644.
