Leeds announced this morning that all remaining general admission tickets for the Championship fixture on November 20 had gone following a surge of interest in the past 72 hours.
Sales rose rapidly from around 29,000 on Monday morning to the brink of a sell-out last night, guaranteeing Leeds their highest attendance since an FA Cup third-round replay against Arsenal in 2011, a tie which drew in 38,232.

The crowd against Newcastle will exceed this season’s highest to date - 28,514 for a 1-0 defeat to Huddersfield Town in September - and is vastly higher than Elland Road’s average attendance of under 24,000. Sales have risen despite Sky Sports’s decision to televise the meeting with Rafael Benitez’s side.
