With more than 16,000 season tickets sold already and just 4,500 more due to go on sale next week, City are looking at sell outs almost every match next season.

Before the play off victory over Bristol City, Tigers halted the sale of season passes until the outcome of the big match was known. Under Premier League rules 10% of capacity must be allocated for travelling fans, around 2,500, and 5% for match-day sales - another 1,200.

The remaing tickets go on sale from the club's ticket office on Monday either in person or by post - no telephone or e-mail applications will be accepted - but the club are anticipating demand will he high and buying in person is recommended. The club will start a waiting list should they sell out.

Meanwhile, League 1 side Crewe are hoping Tigers will stand by a provisional pre-season friendly fixture in July arranged before the result of the play-off final was known.

A Crewe spokesman said: "We will find out about the possibility of playing Hull in pre-season sooner rather than later. We had arranged a possible date but that was provisionally set depending on which division they were going to be in.

"We were happy to go along with that and we hope that they will still agree to play us in July."
