The second sales window for Home and Away Membership saw "unprecedented demand" from Nottingham Forest fans ahead of the Premier League season.
Some supporters camped out overnight at the City Ground to secure a spot in the queue ahead of in-person sales from 10am. And there was a long line during the day once the window opened.
Fans were also able to purchase Memberships online and over the phone. Away Memberships are understood to have sold out at about 11.30am and Home ones at about 2.45pm.

Home Memberships have been sold on a three-tier basis - gold, silver and bronze - which the club say provides “a sliding scale of ticket priority for home fixtures”. The sales total 2,000 gold (only available to 2021/22 non-renewed season card holders and members, and offering first priority on available home league match tickets), 2,500 silver (second priority on available home league match tickets) and 5,000 bronze.
The latter comprises third priority on available home league match tickets, access to remaining match tickets - within the designated priority window - following gold and silver booking windows, third priority on non-season card holder seats for home cup games and priority on available away match tickets after the season card holder window.
Forest say: "Priority windows for Premier League matches at The City Ground will initially be allocated to Gold members, followed by Silver Members. Remaining tickets from these two windows will be provided to Bronze members and any other tickets will subsequently be released on general sale."
Away membership was capped at 5,000 members, including Priority Plus Membership and Priority One Membership. Both were only available to current season card holders.
The former was available to supporters who went to 80 percent of away games last term and was by invitation only. It was available to a maximum of 400 members, all of which sold out in last week's booking window.
Forest say: "The remaining 2,100 Away Members from the 2021/22 season could purchase the Priority One Membership in last week’s dedicated priority booking window. A further 2,500 have been sold today.
"With an allocation of 3,000 tickets guaranteed for the majority of the Reds’ Premier League fixtures on the road, all Priority Plus Members (400) have guaranteed access to purchase a ticket. The remaining away tickets will be available for Priority One members to purchase on a first come first served basis."
The club add: "Everyone at Nottingham Forest appreciates the fantastic the support that the Reds have from supporters at the City Ground and on the road. Interest has been incredibly high since promotion to the Premier League and we have done our utmost to recognise the loyalty shown from fans who have travelled up and down the country over many years, whilst also recognising the need to grow the Forest fanbase."
Earlier this month, the club said: “In creating these packages, the Nottingham Forest ticketing team has closely reviewed what other Premier League clubs offer in addition to other sports to create these options. We appreciate that watching Forest is an emotive experience that is close to the hearts of thousands of fans around the world.
“Having a solution that rewards fan loyalty and which also provides an opportunity for the club to welcome new fans is our goal. It is therefore difficult to provide packages that work for everyone.”
