Wembley sold out for under-21s match
12 April 2012
The first game at the new Wembley Stadium, England's Under-21 clash with Italy on March 24, will be played in front of a maximum crowd of 60,000 after the tickets sold out in less than six hours.
The Football Association's website crashed under the weight of demand on Monday as fans scrambled for tickets for the first game at the new £800million venue.
Tickets went on sale at 3pm but were snapped up quickly as fans made a bid to see the first game at the new venue.
The crowd has been restricted from the full capacity of 90,000 to 60,000 as the game will be a second 'ramp-up' at the new stadium in order to test facilities and obtain a general safety certificate from Brent council.
