Sunderland AFC season ticket holders are guaranteed a ticket for the FA Cup semi final against either Tranmere or Millwall on Sunday 4th April at Old Trafford.

Applications from season ticket holders will be accepted until 5.30pm on Wednesday March 17. Any applications received after this date will not be guaranteed.

Season Ticket Holders, Black Cat Bar members and members of the Home Cup Payment and Away Ticket Scheme are invited to apply immediately by post for one seat per season ticket using voucher 27 from their season ticket book.

Season ticket holders should complete the reverse of voucher 27 as follows:

1) Complete full name, address and postcode.

2) Indicate 3 choices of ticket price in order of preference - option 3 must be 'any' if season ticket holders want to guarantee a ticket.

3) Indicate any concession required by deleting those categories that are not applicable. Sunderland will post adult tickets unless otherwise stated.

4) Include full credit/debit card details or a signed cheque made payable to 'Sunderland AFC' with the payment amount left blank.

Then,

1) Season ticket holders should enclose the above information with the vouchers of any other season ticket holders they want to be seated next to.

2) All applications must enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope.

3) Applications should be posted to Season, PO Box 165, Sunderland, SR5 1WF.

Season ticket holders are also welcome to hand in applications in person at the Stadium of Light ticket office. However, tickets will not be issued over the counter in any circumstances and cash applications will not be accepted due the fact that three price choices are required.

For security reasons there is no post box at the Stadium of Light.

Wheelchair season ticket holders requiring wheelchair positions and tickets for their personal assistants should make applications in the same way but post to Season Special, PO Box 165, Sunderland, SR5 1WF.

Prices: All applications must be received by Sunderland AFC by no later than 5.30pm Wednesday March 17. All season ticket holders that apply by this date are guaranteed a ticket for the semi final, although not necessarily at their preferred price:

Adult: £55, £45, £35, (all no concessions) and £25, concession (U16/OAP) £12.50 - please note limited numbers only

Non-season ticket sales:

The Club is still awaiting confirmation of its final ticket allocation for the FA Cup Semi Final and as such will not be making a further announcement regarding non-season ticket sales, until a later date.

However, the club can confirm that the allocation procedure for non-season ticket sales will be based on the number of tickets purchased and recorded for the 2003/04 season. Tickets purchased for matches not yet played will be included.

Supporters are advised that tickets purchased on a match day or via turnstiles are not recorded for this purpose due to insufficient opportunity to collect personal data.

Finally, Sunderland AFC would also like to advise all supporters that it will be unable to enter into correspondence or accept phone calls regarding the allocation of tickets for this match.
