Yes. As I live nearly 300 miles away from St James Park, a season ticket wouldn't be practical as I'd never be able to get to enough home matches, so I have what's called a "12-man" ticket. Apart from priority booking of tickets for away matches (after the season ticket holders, of course), I also get text messages of things like the home and away team line-up for each match, notification of goals, red cards, half-time and full-time scores of not only the Toon match but all the other premiership matches played that day, etc.
