Newport County is giving supporters the chance to experience matchday like never before with the launch of The Padded Seat Experience for the 2026-27 season.
Following its recognition as a Top 3 Best Fan Experience at The Padded Seat 2026 Awards, Newport County is bringing its award-recognised hospitality experience to supporters for just £116 per person.
The Padded Seat, a media brand covering matchday and event hospitality across sport and entertainment, reviewed more than 400 hospitality experiences over the past 12 months, with Newport County's VIP Barcode hospitality package selected among the best in the Best Fan Experience category.
Now, supporters can enjoy the experience for themselves.
What's included?
The Padded Seat Experience includes:
- Hospitality match ticket
- Pregame food at Barcode
- Signed Newport County home shirt
- Newport County merchandise gift box
- Stadium tour

With just five experiences available per fixture, The Padded Seat Experience offers a unique opportunity to get closer to the club and enjoy a memorable matchday at Rodney Parade.

Season ticket holder price
Newport County season ticket holders can enjoy The Padded Seat Experience for £99 per person.
The season ticket holder package includes everything listed above, with the match ticket removed as it is already included within your season ticket.
For supporters who require a match ticket, the full experience is priced at £116 per person.
At £99 for season ticket holders or £116 including a match ticket, the package offers exceptional value compared with standard Barcode hospitality, which starts from £30 for season ticket holders and £50 for supporters who also require a match ticket.
Sam Houldsworth, CEO at Newport County, said: "To be named in the Top 3 for Best Fan Experience by The Padded Seat is a fantastic achievement for everyone at Newport County. To now offer supporters the opportunity to experience the package for themselves is something we're really excited about.
"The Padded Seat Experience brings together great hospitality, exclusive access and some unique opportunities to meet the people who make the club what it is. At £99 for season ticket holders and £116 including a match ticket, we believe it offers incredible value and is a fantastic way to enjoy a Newport County matchday."
Kyle Mattison, founder of The Padded Seat, said: "Newport County should be very proud of its VIP Barcode hospitality package. We've reviewed over 400 hospitality experiences since 2022, and this was one of the best we tried in this award category over the last 12 months."
