How to Find Cheap Sunderland Tickets

Sunderland are back in the Premier League for the first time since 2017, and demand for Sunderland tickets at the Stadium of Light has never been higher. The stadium holds just under 49,000, making it one of the biggest club grounds in England. But with over 38,000 season tickets sold again for the 2026/27 season, the number of seats available for individual matches is limited. For big games against Newcastle, Liverpool or Arsenal, getting a ticket through the club can be tough. Below we explain all the ways you can experience a game at the stadium of Light yourself.

The traditional way: A Sunderland Club Membership

Unlike most Premier League clubs, Sunderland does not use a membership system to gain ticket access. All general admission tickets go on sale to the public around one month before the game. This is very rare in the Premier League, where almost every other club sells out to members before tickets reach general sale. It makes Sunderland one of the more affordable clubs to buy tickets for.

That said, unfortunatelythere are limits to buying from the club directly. For the biggest fixture such as the Tyne-Wear derby against Newcastle or games against the top six, you need purchase history with the club. This means having previously bought a ticket through the official site. For most other fixtures, this is not an issue and any home fan can buy directly.

Adult tickets bought from the club start at around £26, with prices depending on the fixture category and where you sit in the stadium. The club uses a category system from Category C (cheapest) to Category A (most expensive).

Sunderland Hospitality Packages

If you want a guaranteed seat without worrying about availability, hospitality is the way to go. The Stadium of Light offers several packages at different price points. You don't need to plan months ahead because hospitality can often still be booked at short notice.

Here are all Hospitality options at the Stadium of Light:

• The Montgomery Suite – Starts from around £155 per person. Includes a pre-match stadium tour, three-course buffet, premium seating in the West Stand and a spot at the Man of the Match presentation. Former Sunderland players often make appearances.
• Quinn's Sports Bar – A more relaxed hospitality setting with a sports bar atmosphere, table service and a matchday programme.
• Riverview Brasserie – A dining-focused experience with views over the River Wear.
• The Business Lounge – A professional setting suited to corporate entertaining.
• Banks on the Wear – A premium seasonal package starting from around £1,380.
• Executive Boxes – Private spaces for groups, available from around £1,600 per matchday. Ideal for larger parties who want their own dedicated area with full catering.

All hospitality packages include a dedicated entrance gate and premium padded seating. Food and drinks are included depending on the package.

Buying Tickets on Secondary Sites

For fans who cannot get tickets through the club or who simply want a straightforward option, secondary ticketing platforms are the easiest route. This is especially true for high-demand games that sell out quickly through official channels.

The downside of secondary sites is that prices vary a lot. It is not always clear which platforms are trustworthy and which ones are overcharging. Luckily Ticketseal solves this by bringing together all legitimate secondary market listings for Sunderland in one place. You can compare prices across platforms in real time and find the cheapest option with confidence.

What Tickets Cost on Secondary Sites

Now that Sunderland are in the Premier League, resale prices are higher than they were in the Championship. Here is a rough guide to what you can expect to pay:

Lower-demand fixtures (relegation-threatened sides: Wolves, Burnley): £50–£100

Mid-tier fixtures (mid-table clubs: Fulham, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth): £80–£150

High-demand fixtures (top clubs: Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea): £120–£250

Tyne-Wear Derby (Newcastle United): £200–£400+

Cup competitions (FA Cup, EFL Cup): £30–£120 depending on the round and opponent

Tips for Getting the Best Price on Ticketseal.com

• Book early for the Newcastle derby: The Tyne-Wear derby carries a huge premium and prices only go up closer to matchday. If you know you want to go, do not wait.
• Target midweek fixtures: Tuesday and Wednesday evening games tend to be cheaper and easier to get, even against decent sides.
• Look at lower-table opponents: Games against sides like Wolves, Burnley or West Ham are usually the most affordable Premier League options at the Stadium of Light.
• Consider upper tier seats: The upper tiers at the Stadium of Light still give you a clear view of the pitch at a lower price than the lower tier.
• Cup early rounds: FA Cup and EFL Cup matches in the early rounds are a great way to experience the Stadium of Light at a fraction of the usual Premier League price.
