The Lads are heading to Wembley in the Checkatrade Trophy final, following the win over Bristol Rovers on Tuesday night.
Jack Ross' side will face Portsmouth on Sunday, March 31 (2.30pm kick-off).
The club has been allocated 38,979 tickets for the East End of Wembley Stadium and these will be sold from the North Stand round to the South Stand.
There is a huge volume of tickets to be sold in a very short period of time and it is already an extremely busy period for the club’s ticket office with increasing demand for match tickets and with the season card renewal period approaching.
Therefore, to ensure that we can best meet the needs of our supporters, we will be working with Ticketmaster, who from next season will replace the club’s current ticketing website provider.
As is standard practice for the majority of club’s reaching a Wembley final, Ticketmaster will administer all tickets bought online and over the telephone, on behalf of Sunderland AFC. They are also operating the same service for Portsmouth.
Ticketmaster have a dedicated call centre and website, both of which can handle extremely large volumes of calls and online traffic and operate extended hours. We therefore hope this will make the booking process easier for our supporters.
Please note, tickets will not be available from the Stadium of Light ticket office, or through the club’s existing ticketing site or telephone line.
