28,000 sold by Monday morning. That's pretty damn good for a play off final.

I would think sales are tailing off now and we may reach 30,000 by Friday.

Cambridge v Exeter play off final was 42,511 according to here:

http&#58//en&#46wikipedia&#46org/wiki/2 ... -off_Final

They also state the 2007 final was a record of just over 40,000, and last year was only 35,000, therefore the Cambridge v Exeter game must be the record.

29,000 || and counting.

Anything above 30,000 is terrific in my view.

You have no idea how excited I am. :lol:

Someone posted on another thread that we have sold over 33,000 tickets.

York have managed 8,000. Bless.

Millwall took more than 42,000 to Wembley in last years Division One play-off final versus Scunthorpe - where they lost.

I don't know how many tickets United have sold, however the OWS states north of 30,000.

The Oxford Mail (Wednesday) states we have sold 33,000|| which surely must be higher than any non league club for the new Wembley.

I don't know how many followed Wycombe to the old Wembley in 1993 but I can't believe it was anything like 30,000.

I went to the Old Wembley in 1995 with Oxford City but can't remember
anything about it and how many followed City that day.

A lot of ale was drunk.

Certainly a warning for me and my travelling companions, we're leaving Oxford at 09:00.

Its all gone quiet on ticket sales. Anybody have any idea how many tickets have been sold by the 2 clubs? I have to say i thought we'd struggle to reach 22,000 with the prices and TV coverage but as in 86 the public have again responded it seems. Just have to win now - why is time suddenly standing still when it normally goes so quickly??

I read somewhere we'd sold 36,000 but I'd be amazed if we had, 33,400 is the most reliable figure I've seen.

I think we will get the Conference play off record with those sort of numbers.
