nycanary 1 Posted April 8, 2016 So I know this is a complete longshot but does anyone have a spare single ticket for Sunderland next week?Am desperate and will fly from New York to see this game. Will pay over face value! PM me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted April 8, 2016 Have you tried emailing the club?If you''re willing to go to that length there must be something they can do for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nycanary 1 Posted April 8, 2016 Yes, did talk to the club. They have a ticket in the Gunn Club but you have to watch from behind the glass and that doesn''t seem worth it -- want to be part of the atmosphere....I can watch from behind the glass telly from here...They''ve got me on their list in case anyone does a buyback. But I think that''s not likely... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But knowing a few hours before kick off is obviously of little use to you! Keep in touch on here, if I see anything on twitter I''ll give you a shout!Are your initials PP? I''ll follow you on twitter and put the word out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suffolk7 0 Posted April 9, 2016 I have just told my young daughter about how you would travel from NY to watch it, and she has volunteered her ST for you? You will need to pay the upgrade fee (£40 ish) but your welcome to it. Barclay Upper. Let me know.Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That''s an incredibly generous daughter you have there! I did end up buying tickets from ticketbis.net. But I''ve asked them to send me a scan of the tickets in case they are scammers...I just don''t know. If they do come through, I''ll actually have an extra ticket for anyone who wants it but hopefully I''ll know more Monday/Tuesday.In the meantime, thanks again to you and your daughter. If this ticketbis thing doesn''t work out, I''ll definitely take you/her up on it! Get to Norwich Saturday morning... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Woodman 92 Posted April 13, 2016 Have Sunderland sold out their entire allocation? I know its an important game, but that''s some dedication for a 12.45 kick off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess their fans think thats better than travelling to Ipswich for a midweek game in the winter... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van wink 2,994 Posted April 13, 2016 Not surprising really, it''s a cup final for them just like it is for us.Allocation would only be what, 2700 max, they''ve got a big fan base and most of their Lardy boys need two seats.😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Bird 0 Posted April 14, 2016 That''s great and hope the result makes the trip worthwhile :) Pre match nerves are already setting in for me. Huge, huge game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
