Sunderland AFC supporters are advised that ticket checks have been introduced throughout the Stadium of Light.
Fans are reminded that all match tickets and season tickets (card or digital) must correspond with their correct age and status.
In recent weeks, spot checks have unfortunately resulted in several fans being escorted from the stadium after entering the ground with tickets that did not align with their correct status.
These instances have taken place in general admission and premium areas and included adults entering with concession tickets and personal assistants entering without their dependent.
Club policy states that any person(s) identified entering the stadium using an incorrect ticket will be escorted from the ground and provided with an opportunity to purchase the correct ticket, including match and season tickets.
Supporters are advised that season tickets will require payment for the full season and not only the fixture being attended.
All tickets will be suspended until payment is made and if payment is not received at all, the ticket holder will be banned from the stadium and prevented from purchasing any further tickets until further notice.
If you are in any doubt about the ticket you are using to attend fixtures at the Stadium of Light, please seek clarification from the ticket office by visiting AskSAFC.com.
Fans are also reminded that anyone aged 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult when attending fixtures at the Stadium of Light.
SAFC thanks all supporters for their understanding in relation to this matter and we look forward to welcoming you to back to Wearside on Saturday 22 February when Hull City travel to the Stadium of Light (KO 12.30pm GMT).
