Leeds United have sold out of general admission tickets for their home game against Newcastle United.

An attendance of around 37,890 is expected inside the ground. Only hospitality tickets remain for the game on November 20. It is the first time that the Championship leaders have traveled for a league game at Elland Road since 2003.

The game is guaranteed to have the highest league attendance at Elland Road since the match against Bristol Rovers in May 2010, which confirmed Leeds's return to the second tier.
