Ha'way the Lads: Secure your seat for Saturday

Secure your seat for Saturday's Sky Bet League One fixture against Accrington Stanley at the Stadium of Light.

Kicking off at 3pm on Wearside, it's first against second as Stanley head to the North East.

Lee Johnson's men currently sit top of the table with 12 points from their opening five games, while John Coleman's side have also acquired 12 points, but have an inferior goal difference.

Tickets for the match-up are priced from £23 for adults, £20 for over-65s, £14 for under-22s, £8 for under-16s and £5 for under-14s.

Supporters can also purchase Black Cats Bar tickets online for £46 per person by selecting seats in block U29B, U30B and U31B on the stadium map.

If you are heading to the Stadium of Light for the first time this season, please be advised that substantial operational changes have been made to improve the matchday experience.

This includes a new EPOS system to reduce queues and enhance speed of service, stadium Wi-Fi, which is available throughout the main bowl, and digital tickets that are available to purchase up until kick-off.

Supporters are reminded that cash turnstiles are no longer available on matchdays.

The Stadium of Light store will also remain closed this weekend due to ongoing operational upgrades at our warehouse, but we hope to reopen it in September.

ACCESSING THE STADIUM

Once you arrive at the Stadium of Light, our meet and greet team will be in place if you require any assistance when accessing the stadium.

Please remember to have your tickets ready when arriving at the turnstiles to minimise queues and wait times for both yourself and your fellow supporters.

When using a digital ticket to access the stadium, please note that all QR codes must be scanned directly from a mobile device.

QR codes displayed on a tablet or smart watch, including iPads and Apple Watches, or from a screenshot or photo, will not be recognised at the turnstile.

IOS users can add the ticket to their Apple Wallet, whilst Android users will receive a PDF in their confirmation email.

Digital tickets can also be printed at home but where possible, try not to crease the QR code as this could lead to delays when scanning it at the turnstile.

If you are purchasing tickets as part of a group or on behalf of other supporters, please also ensure each individual supporter has direct access to their digital ticket prior to arriving at the stadium.

INSIDE THE STADIUM

Turnstiles will be open from 1.30pm on Saturday and your entry point will be clearly displayed on your ticket, however, you must not attend if you or any member of your household has developed Covid-19 symptoms.

Supporters are advised to wear a face covering when entering and exiting the stadium, but as per national guidelines, this is not a mandatory requirement.

Social distancing is also encouraged where possible, as is regularly using the sanitisation stations in place throughout the Stadium of Light.

Please also be reminded that you do not need to provide evidence of a negative test or vaccination to access the stadium.

Following the introduction of a state-of-the-art EPOS system, cash will no longer be accepted within the Stadium of Light and all purchases made will be contactless.

Free Wi-Fi is also now available within the main bowl, allowing you to enjoy a fully connected matchday experience.

Thank you once again for your incredible support and we will see you all Saturday!

Ha’way the Lads!
