RAWA Requests Sunderland Postpone Season-Ticket Release Following Newcastle Derby Dispute
The Red and White Army has urged Sunderland to delay releasing unrenewed season tickets. Fans say renewal problems remain unresolved, prompting the appeal.
Background
According to Filmogaz.com, the supporters’ group began talks with club hierarchy before last month’s Tyne-Wear derby. Tickets for that fixture were briefly rescinded, then returned to sale. The club said the move followed a large-scale breach of ticketing rules.
RAWA’s position
RAWA wants clearer messaging to the wider fan base. The group says discussions with the club continue after a March 31 communication.
It has asked Sunderland to postpone the season-ticket release while outstanding issues are resolved. The call references concerns arising from the Newcastle derby dispute.
Key concerns
- Unexpected seat moves affecting long-term supporters.
- Administration fees applied without sufficient explanation.
- Switching between different pricing structures causing confusion.
- Problems moving from corporate packages to general admission.
Demands and deadline
RAWA wants a ticketing-specific meeting as a matter of urgency. The group says many areas have shown progress, but customer service results still fall short.
Supporters were warned not to risk losing season tickets because of unresolved issues. A proposed deadline of 5pm on 20th April has been highlighted by the group.
How to report issues
Fans experiencing renewal problems have been asked to contact the supporters’ group. The designated email is [email protected].
Outlook
Club and supporter representatives remain in talks. RAWA is pressing for a clear resolution before further ticket releases.
