Part-season tickets on sale now

As the Black Cats battle for promotion Sunderland AFC is once again placing part season tickets on sale for the second half of their Coca Cola Championship campaign.

The ticket package, which starts in the New Year, takes in Sunderland's final 10 home games and sees the Black Cats take on Sheffield United in January as well as facing former manager Peter Reid's Coventry in March. The end of the campaign will see the Black Cats clash with fellow promotion contenders Reading, Leicester and Stoke.

Certain to be a popular Christmas gift for Sunderland fans, prices start at just £65 for the under 16's and £145 for adults (in concession areas).

For those wanting something a little more special part season tickets for the Club's memorabilia themed Sports Bar, including a padded centre stand seat, are priced at £430 and for the Black Cats Bar including North Stand padded seat £315.

Part season ticket holders also receive a range of additional benefits, ensuring their loyalty is rewarded. These include a free upgrade to the Black Cats Bar for a game of your choice, priority for away match tickets and subscription to the Club's official magazine Legion of Light.

Season ticket holders are also guaranteed priority for highly sought after fixtures such as Cup games and attractive matches where tickets can be limited, as was the case last season when the club reached the FA Cup Semi Final and the play offs.

Part season ticket holders can also make use of the new season ticket redemption scheme. This scheme allows supporters to exchange up to two unused vouchers from any home fixture that has been moved, for an additional complimentary ticket for either the Plymouth (15th March) or Reading (9th April) games.

Season tickets can be purchased either in person from the ticket office or by calling 0191 551 5151 or 08700 11 22 66. Tickets must be purchased by 14th December for guaranteed Christmas delivery.
