The Black Cats were handed 2,000 tickets for the match at Hillsborough – which will take place on Monday, May 9 (7:45pm kick-off) - the minimum amount the Owls could have provided under EFL rules.
Regulations state that teams have to give at least 2,000 tickets to the away team – or 10 per cent of their capacity based on the stadium.
Sunderland have also provided just 2,000 tickets to Wednesday supporters for the first leg at Stadium of Light on Friday.
