Sunderland tickets and membership

Official Sunderland ticket links

Buying home tickets

Home tickets are offered first to Black Cats Adult and Academy members through a per-match ballot that members opt into, and any remaining tickets then go to a general sale open to non-members.

Sunderland membership 2026/27

Sunderland's scheme is Black Cats membership, with tiers Season Ticket Plus, Black Cats Adult and Black Cats Academy, and membership is what unlocks ticket priority windows before any general sale, so for the popular fixtures it is the realistic way in. Join before the sale window for the game you want, not after it opens.

Buying from overseas

Visiting from the US or elsewhere abroad? The rules are the same: tickets come only from Sunderland's official site and exchange, and membership priority applies wherever you live. Leave plenty of lead time for popular fixtures, avoid unofficial resale sites entirely, and if you cannot get a ticket, every game is televised somewhere worldwide.

How to buy Sunderland away tickets 2026/27

The away allocation at Stadium of Light is typically ~3,000, housed in the North Stand. Most away general-admission tickets are allocated on Black Cat Points, earned by attending away matches and home cup ties, while Season Ticket Plus members ballot for a small remaining share.

Returns and resale

Sold out? Sunderland's Ticket Resale lets members buy and sell returned tickets for individual games. It is the only safe resale route; tickets bought from touts or unofficial sites can be cancelled at the turnstile. Open the official ticket exchange →

Hospitality

Matchday hospitality and premium seats are booked directly with the club. Our Sunderland hospitality guide covers the lounges, what a package includes and how to book, and the official page has current availability.

Digital tickets

Sunderland tickets are digital: you load them into a mobile wallet or the club app rather than collecting a paper ticket, so take a charged phone to the ground.
