Sunderland supporters are advised that tickets are selling fast for the Boxing Day clash with Everton at the Stadium of Light.

Over 44,000 tickets have been sold already for Saturday's game and the club is advising fans to purchase their tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

There will be no cash turnstiles open on the day of the game and all tickets must be purchased in advance from the ticket office.

The Stadium of Light ticket office will be open until 1pm on Christmas Eve and closed all day on Christmas Day. It will re-open at 10am on Boxing Day.

Supporters purchasing or collecting tickets on the day of the game are reminded to arrive early to avoid any potential queues.

Tickets can also be purchased online at www.safc.com or by phone on 0871 911 1973.

Tickets for the FA Cup sponsored by E-ON 3rd round tie against Barrow are also on sale at a discounted price if purchased prior to the day of the game. Adult seats are currently priced at £15 and juniors/over 65s £5. On the day of the game prices will revert to £20 for adults and £10 for concessions.

The ticket office will be closed all day on New Years Day (Jan 1st) so the last opportunity to purchase discounted tickets for the FA Cup fixture is Thursday 31st December. The ticket office will be open from 10am until 1pm only on this day.
