Left comment on banter earlier on in week with regards to tickets for sunderland match. Heading over from Ireland.

Tried General sale this morning and had no luck. Pure lottery of a system, sold out in 2 mins?!

Took advice of some posters here and contacted everyone on done deal and other sale sites and the best I'm getting is to check back the week of the game.

Without buying from online sites or hospitality both of which are 150£ at least. what's my options?

Anyone know if I was outside Anfield on morning of game if I'd get tickets? or at least a pub nearby where I'd get tickets for 70 or 80£?

Thanks for posting eds.

No chance mate.

At the KOP end of the stadium, there is a petrol station to the left as you're coming out the club shop (assuming my memory is correct) . There are sometimes a few guys stood by a low brick wall that surrounds the petrol stations courtyard. They usually sell tickets at about £70 a head.

It's a hell of a gamble to rely on that though. I'd just bite the bullet and pay for hospitality mate.

Don't go tanked up with alcohol. There's usually a few people in the area EMS described who will try to rip u off with false tickets or vouchers. Speaking from personal experience have all your wits about u. Enjoy the game if u get in!

Have u tried twitter? Loads of sites on there that sell for face value. I got one the other week. The trouble is that there is a few of you. Just go hospitality, it's worth it and u will get meal etc depending on option u choose. Good luck.

When the stadium is expanded it will be easier but so far I have just gone hospitality rather than touts. Roughly £150 alright but that's about £80 more than you want - £80 extra to be guaranteed you're getting in. I haven't seen touts selling outside the stadium when I've been over. Best of luck!

If you can't sort it before you travel mate then stump up the hospitality money.

I wouldn't risk it near the ground.

I'd recommend hospitality, it's a quality way to watch the match, although every week I would prefer to stand with the kop.

Tbh mate looking at what's been said and from friends and personal memory there are a lot of fake tickets about so chances are youse could all come and buy a set a fakes for £70 and not see the game, as a rare occasion I would advice paying the hospitality as it will be a better experience for any new attenders anyway.

Yeah makes sense I suppose for the sake of 80£ I'll have peace of mind going over that I'll defo see game.

Only issue now is to convince my 3 mates that this is the best option. With sterling to euro rate travelling over is very expensive as is.

Many thanks for everyone's help!

Can't wait to see Ilori make a show of Sunderland. Reckon he'll be brilliant beside Hummels ;)
