No knowledge here but I reckon there might be a few more blocks yet to open before we have made all of the additional 5,000 available for sale. Could be completely wrong about that, but it’s just a suspicion.

If it was 5k extra released yesterday then with the club having said we sold 2.5k yesterday I agree with you that you’d expect them to open up another block or two, probably just holding back to avoid it being spread out.

So by my calculations... We've broken the record for NL final attendance

But imo, this needs to come with a huge asterisk. We would have sold so many more if It wasn't for the restrictions

But also a huge shout out to everyone involved in getting us more tickets!

Can we get their names so we can sing them a song during the game?

Will it be the highest ever non league attendance let alone a nl playoff final???

We've now shifted about as many tickets as AFC Wimbledon did for their L2 play-off final last weekend. With Oldham's turnout as well, the NL PO Final attendance record (47,029) gets smashed on Sunday. Possibly last weekends L2 PO Final attendance (50,947) gets beaten as well.

Can we beat our record ever attendance to watch a Southend game - 53,043, Everton v Southend in the FA Cup in 1955?

I asked it to dig deeper into the FA Amateur Cup Finals - it has a source from Hendon at Wembley - 100,000 sell out at old Wembley for Hendon v Bishop Auckland 1955. Apparently 5th year running a sell out 100k crowd for the final

This was a time when going to Wembley was a rarity - no matter who you watched.
Without recourse to actual detail, I'm guessing there were no more than six football matches a year: Amateur Cup; FA Cup and maybe four internationals including U16s or whatever?
Also, it must have been easier getting into the Amateur Cup than FA Cup.
A second TV channel, imagine, just two channels, not a 109th, lol, was in its infancy.

All Zoners: if you know anyone pondering whether to buy any of this new batch of tickets, be sure to let them know they go off sale at 3pm today!

The NL, Wembley etc should be thankful we live in a time when tickets can be emailed rather than printed and sent in the post. Can you imagine the chaos that would have caused on top of their incompetence?
