Sunderland have confirmed their pricing structure for all Europa League home games

Sunderland have announced the launch of a cup scheme for season ticket holders ahead of the club's keenly anticipated Europa League campaign.

The Black Cats have announced that season ticket holders will be able to sign up for the scheme from 3pm on Monday, securing their place for all four league phase games and any knockout fixtures that follow. Supporters will register a card when they sign up for the scheme, with payment to be taken around two to three weeks before each fixture.

The club have confirmed that prices for each game will start at £35 for adults, rising to £49 depending on where fans sit in the Stadium of Light. This price is 10% lower than any general admission tickets that later go on sale, with the usual concessions also in place. Those who don't sign up for the scheme but have a season ticket will still get a small window to purchase their ticket ahead of each individual fixture, with the ballot for club members and then general admission for any remaining tickets to follow. The final sale details will be confirmed once the draw has been made and the club's league phase fixtures have been finalised. The draw will take place on August 28th, following the conclusion of the play-off stage the previous evening. The club have confirmed that the pricing structure will stay in place right throughout the competition, regardless of how far Sunderland have progressed. Season ticket holders can sign up to the scheme until 12pm, August 29th.
