Sunderland AFC continues to invest in stadium experience to ensure matchdays on Wearside are memorable for all supporters.
Quinn’s Sports Bar and the Montgomery Suite were redeveloped last summer, and we will continue to enhance our premium offering ahead of the 2025-26 season.
This will result in the current Black Cats Bar package being discontinued at the end of the campaign.
Following a period of renovation, the space will reopen ahead of the new season as a reimagined premium matchday option, which will sit alongside the experiences available in the Business Lounge and Quinn’s Sport Bar.
Supporters with 2024-25 season tickets in Black Cats Bar are advised that their existing seat will be held until the new space is available to purchase.
Ahead of the new season, fans impacted by these changes will be invited to an exclusive test event and have the option to retain their seat before the general sale period begins.
The pricing of the packages in the new space is to be determined, but supporters are advised that they will be reflective of the premium nature of the offering.
Although we appreciate that some fans will be disappointed by this news, a new entry-level experience will be introduced for the 2025-26 season in The Founders’.
2024-25 Black Cats Bar season ticket holders wishing to move to this space will receive an exclusive £200/£100 discount (adults/concessions) on the seasonal price. The club are hosting two open evenings where Black Cats Bar season ticket holders can sample the new experience. These evenings are Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th March from 4pm - 8pm. Please contact the Hospitality team or email hospitalty@safc.com to book a space for one of these evenings.
More information can be found here.
Founders’ Bar will seat 300 supporters, who will watch the game from the West stand, and season tickets will be available on a first come, first served basis.
2024-25 Black Cats Bar season ticket holders who wish to move to a general admission seat will also be able to purchase at the loyalty rate of their selected area until the start of the new campaign.
There will also be an exclusive mover's day on 15th April to allow impacted supporters the option to select the best possible seats available.
Fans impacted by the changes to Black Cats Bar are encouraged to purchase a new package or season ticket during the renewal period. If they wish to retrain their existing seat upon the new space opening, it will be possible for them to do so.
