The Betway cup friendly against Juventus has also sold out for second time after 3,000 extra seats were released in the lower south stand after a successful transition to football mode this week. That too has now sold 54,000 tickets for the official opening event.
Both opening games are restricted to 54,000 because the current safety certificate for the London Stadium restricts the capacity to that amount but a new safety certificate is expected to be re-issued before the Bournemouth game to increased the capacity to 60,000.
