The club statement reads: "Tickets for Saturday’s fixture against Wycombe Wanderers are currently being distributed by email and all fans should have received their ticket by 10am on Thursday 19 May.

"Supporters have two options when using their ticket to access the stadium: Print-at-home or Mobile device.

"All supporters are advised to use the print-at-home option to ensure tickets can be accessed throughout matchday irrespective of your smartphone battery.

"If you wish to access the turnstile by scanning your ticket using a mobile device, please ensure the ticket is downloaded as a PDF and saved as a file or added to your camera roll.

"Tickets will NOT add to your mobile wallet and you must use the options above when using a mobile device."

With demand for tickets still high when the allocation sold out, Sunderland have made a request to the EFL and Wembley Stadium for more, though they had earlier been warned that such a second increase was unlikely.

There has not at this stage been any further update as to whether more tickets will be made available.
