Sunderland to be backed by incredible away support at Coventry City as play-off away leg sells out
Sunderland have issued a ticket update ahead of this Friday’s play-off semi-final first leg
Sunderland’s play-off semi-final first leg at Coventry City will be played in front of a sold-out crowd.
Coventry City confirmed last night that they had sold all tickets for the first leg, with the Black Cats confirming this morning that the last of the away allocation had been snapped up. Régis Le Bris and his team will be backed by just over 2,800 fans as they look to bring a positive result against Frank Lampard’s side back to the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland had apologised to supporters yesterday after an issue with ticket provider ticketmaster had prevented many fans securing their tickets in the second phase of the sale to those with over 40+ Black Cats points on their account. That phase was then extended to 8am this morning after the issue was resolved. Tickets then went on sale to those with 20+ Black Cats points on their account and are now fully sold out.
It means it will be a capacity crowd for the first leg at the CBS Arena. The game will kick off at 8pm on Friday May 9th and will be televised on Sky Sports. The Sunderland Echo will also have comprehensive coverage of the game.
