Blackburn Rovers have sold out after further 600 tickets were made available for their final-day play-off showdown at Sheffield United.

The initial allocation of 2,097 were snapped up over the weekend with Rovers fans keen to show their support at Bramall Lane. A win in Sheffield coupled with favours from elsewhere will see Valerien Ismael's side finish in the play-off places.

Tickets went on sale at midday and were only available online for supporters to buy. They sold likely fast and it's unknown whether more could be made available after the 600 were sold.

Rovers need to win at Sheffield United and hope Coventry City and Millwall don't. Bristol City could also be catchable depending on their result at Leeds United this evening.

Blackburn would play Sheffield United if they made it into sixth spot. The Blades are the only opponents in the final-day battle who don't have anything tangible to play for. 

Bristol City host Preston North End, who need points to stay up whilst Burnley want to secure the Championship title against Millwall. Coventry vs Middlesbrough speaks for itself.

Rovers sold over 1,000 season tickets over the course of the weekend following Saturday's 2-1 win over Watford. Phase one pricing ends ahead of the weekend's game on Friday, May 2. The cost of season tickets after this deadline has not been revealed yet.
