About the show

Sunderland Legends tickets: Peter Reid and Paul Bracewell join former players for stories and Q&A at Sunderland Empire.

Sunderland Legends tickets in Sunderland

Six former Sunderland AFC players, Don Hutchison, Allan Johnston, Alex Rae, Kevin Ball, Paul Bracewell and Peter Reid, appear on stage at Sunderland Empire for an evening of live interviews, audience Q&A and dressing-room stories.

What the evening involves

The event is built around on-stage conversation with all six former players, covering matches, behind-the-scenes tales and candid accounts from their time at the club. Audience members can put questions directly to the panel, giving the evening an interactive quality. A Q&A session is included as part of the programme.

VIP meet and greet option

A VIP upgrade is available separately from the standard ticket. It includes early entry to the venue, a welcome drink on arrival, an exclusive commemorative lanyard, and a professionally printed photograph taken with all six legends. A digital download of that photograph is provided within 24 hours, and a photo frame is included to display the printed souvenir. The VIP experience takes place before the main show.

Train

Sunderland is the nearest station and sits within a 10 minute walk of the theatre. The Tyne and Wear Metro also serves the city, and travel is free for up to two hours before and after the performance on production of a valid show ticket.

Bus

Bus routes passing the theatre include the 3, 11, 12, 24, 53, 77a, 88, 91, 139, 159 and 453.

Parking

The closest car park is The Bridges multi-storey, although its rooftop level has limited opening hours so it is worth checking before you set off. St Mary's and Riverside car parks are also close by. Blue Badge holders will find limited parking outside the Fire Station near the theatre, along with a drop-off area, and disabled bays on Paley Street, reached by following the one-way system along the left-hand side of the building. Traffic and parking are much busier on match days, so allow extra time.
