Sunderland membership explained, prices, ballots and key details | OneFootball

Sunderland have launched a three-tier membership for 2026/27, on sale from 10am on Tuesday, July 14. According to Sunderland Echo, it bundles ballot access, a season-ticket waiting list and member benefits.

Season Ticket Plus is a £20 optional add-on for season-ticket holders, including entry to a ballot for 10 per cent of each applicable away allocation. Existing rights and ticket forwarding remain unchanged.

Black Cats Adult costs £48 for non season-ticket holders, with access to home ballots for Premier League, Europa League and domestic cups, opt-in each game, plus the waiting list. Black Cats Academy, ages four to 18, is £30 for the first child and £20 per additional, with the same core benefits and the mascot ballot for ages six to 12.

Members have first access to home tickets via ballots, any not taken are expected to go to general sale, though availability could be limited given demand and a sell-out of season tickets. One membership equals one ticket, and linked group applications still need clarifying.

Black Cat Points continue and existing totals stay intact, but 10 per cent of every away allocation will be reserved for the Season Ticket Plus ballot, reducing tickets available via points. Adult and Academy memberships do not include away ballots.

There is currently no indication that Season Ticket Plus will be required for season-ticket holders to access Europa League games, with details still to be confirmed. Non season-ticket holders can enter Europa League home ballots via Adult or Academy membership.
