Following last night’s victory against Bristol Rovers, Sunderland AFC will face Portsmouth FC in the final of the Checkatrade Trophy.
The game will take place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 31 March 2019, 2.30pm kick off. Sunderland AFC has been allocated 38979 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 they can best meet the needs of our supporters, they will be working with Ticketmaster.
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 FC. Ticketmaster have a dedicated call centre and website.
Tickets will not be available from the Stadium of Light ticket office or through the club’s normal online ticket site.
