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.

What is the record for sales by one club?

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

And for a non league club?

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.

Perhaps a warning for us all?

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.
