Sunderland request more Wembley play-off final tickets after selling out 44,000 allocation

Sunderland have requested more tickets for this weekend's League One play-off final after selling-out their entire allocation of almost 44,000. The Black Cats were initially given 37,480 tickets for the showpiece clash against Wycombe Wanderers on Saturday, and were subsequently granted an additional 6,480 tickets last Friday, taking the total to 43,960.

But the club has today confirmed that all tickets - including that additional allocation - have now sold out. Demand is still high on Wearside and Sunderland have approached the EFL and Wembley Stadium to ask for more tickets, although it is unclear at this stage whether that request will be granted.

Wycombe were initially given 19,025 tickets for the final and, according to the Chairboys' website, they are close to selling out. They have also requested more tickets and are likely to be granted an additional number.
