How will fans learn of any changes to tickets or allocations?

Sunderland and Sheffield United supporters have been advised that any updates or changes regarding ticketing or allocations for the Championship play-off final at Wembley will be communicated directly by the clubs themselves, rather than the EFL.

Both clubs are responsible for the management and distribution of their respective allocations, and any queries or concerns should be directed to the relevant club’s ticketing department.
