Today's East Midlands Derby is officially a SELL OUT with 25,849 tickets sold at Mattioli Woods Welford Road for the 251st meeting between Leicester Tigers and Northampton Saints.
More than 10,000 general sale tickets have been snapped up, while more than 1,300 hospitality places filled and 12,000 Season Ticket Holders and Half-Season Ticket Holders are expected to fill the stands for the Gallagher Premiership's biggest rivalry.
Speaking about the first sell out of the season, Leicester Tigers Chief Marketing and Operating Officer Chris Rose said: "While it is a shame that the biggest game in Premiership Rugby once again takes place in an international window, this just shows what a fantastic set of supporters the Tigers Family are!"
