Sunderland have confirmed that they have sold their allocation of tickets for their pre-season friendly against South Shields – meaning that the Mariners Park clash is now sold out.
The Evo-Stik NPL Premier Division club will host the Black Cats in their first pre-season fixture on Thursday, July 11.
The Mariners announced on Wednesday that all home tickets for the fixture had been snapped up within 48 hours of going on sale.
And the Black Cats followed that up with a statement of their own on Friday as they revealed that their own allocation of tickets had been sold.
A club statement said: “Tickets for Sunderland’s pre-season friendly at South Shields have now sold out.
“The Black Cats will take on the Northern Premier League outfit at Mariners Park on Thursday 11 July at 7:30pm.
“Jack Ross’ side will go up against a Shields side that narrowly missed out on promotion last term, falling to Warrington Town in the NPL Play-Off Final.
“Tickets have been hot property and snapped up in quick time, with season card holders and UK members taking full advantage of their priority over the last day.”
Both announcements mean that 3,300 tickets have been sold for the fixture.
