Event organisers have been left gobsmacked as nearly 2,000 tickets have sold out ahead of Sunday's Euro 2024 final.
The Earlham Park Euro 2024 Fan Park has proved a hit with city football fans, who have been turning out in their droves to watch the England team progress through the tournament.
For the final, the organisers have planned an event even better than all the other events.
"This is our biggest fan park event by about double," said Daegan Watts, who has organised the events alongside Danny Banthorpe.
"It will still be a safe event, with additional security hired and extra barriers in place for fans.
"We are so excited to welcome so many people to the park and are really looking forward to an amazing atmosphere."
Daegan was left baffled as the whopping 1,800 tickets had sold out by Friday - two days before the final.
"We are having to tell people not to travel without tickets," he said.
"We literally do not have the space for any more people here.
"We sold out the tickets for the big top very quickly so opened up some for our new outdoor screen, which have also all gone.
"We are really happy with the response!"
Canaries legends Darren Huckerby and Grant Holt will also be cheering the squad on from the crowd.

Counterfeit Brits, a 90s Britpop tribute band, will be at the event, performing some of the top tunes from the era as well as some football anthems.
The "absolutely immense" local DJ Harry Pearce will also be stirring up the crowd ahead of the game.
"I am nervous," admitted Daegan.
"But we are so excited and really hope that England can secure a win at the weekend."
