SAFC is advising all supporters wishing to attend the forthcoming Boxing Day game against Leeds United to purchase their tickets in advance.
Tickets are selling fast for this popular fixture and the concession areas in the main bowl of the Stadium are already sold out. Concessions are now only available in the upper concourses.
The Club would also like to advise supporters that the Black Cats Bar is also sold out for this fixture.
All stadium car parking is sold out, however the Park and Ride service will operate as normal.
A limited number of cash turnstiles will be available on the day and ensure the safety and security of all supporters these will operate in the East Stand only, numbers 35, 36, 39, 40, 47 and 48. There will be no £17 adult concessions available from the turnstiles and all concessionary seats for this match must be purchased from the Stadium ticket office.
Those supporters wishing to purchase tickets via telephone for home delivery are advised that the last day tickets can be posted out to ensure delivery is Tuesday 21st December 2004. After this date, all tickets ordered by phone must be collected in person. We advise fans to collect up to 12 noon on Christmas Eve or as early as possible on the day of the game.
Once again, all supporters are urged to buy their tickets in advance to avoid any potential queues or delays on the day.
Opening hours for the ticket office prior to Boxing Day are as follows:
* Wednesday 22nd December 2004 10.00am – 5.30pm
* Thursday 23rd December 2004 10.00am – 5.30pm
* Friday 24th December 2004 (Christmas Eve) 10.00am – 1.00pm
* Saturday 25th December 2004 (Christmas Day) CLOSED
* Sunday 26th December 2004 (Boxing Day) 10.00am – Kick Off
Also, as a higher attendance is anticipated for this fixture, the sales and collection points will be extremely busy. SAFC urges all supporters who are purchasing or collecting tickets on the day of the game to arrive early.
Tickets will not be available on-line or via ticketing agencies and can only be purchased from the Stadium of Light ticket office.
