About Sunderland

The Stadium of Light is one of the largest and most atmospheric grounds outside the very top of England. Sunderland have one of the most loyal supports in the country, following the club through highs and lows. When it is full, and especially for the Tyne-Wear derby against Newcastle, the atmosphere is overwhelming.

The ground sits on the River Wear, on the site of an old colliery, and the name refers to the region's mining past. That bond with the city makes a matchday here special.

For a visitor, Sunderland is easy to reach and the ground has the metro right at the door. Tickets for ordinary league matches are available fairly regularly; for the top games it is different. We arrange official tickets and hospitality with a confirmed seat.

Hospitality at Sunderland

At Sunderland, official hospitality is based in the lounges and business areas of the ground. The difference with a regular ticket is the seat and the service: a good seat, a separate entrance and food and drink in a lounge before and after the match. In a large, atmospheric ground like this it is a comfortable way to experience the game, especially for a corporate guest or a group.
