The seats for the Oct. 26 game between the San Diego Chargers and the New Orleans Saints at London's Wembley Stadium were allocated to fans in a ballot.

In a rush: Fans fight for a chance to see New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush at Wembley

NFL UK said the pace of ticket sales matched that of last year's game between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants, which was the first regular season NFL game to be staged outside North America.

"We are delighted to report the overwhelming interest in this year's game," said Alistair Kirkwood, Managing Director of NFL UK.

"This proves that our event is one of the most eagerly awaited in the British sports calendar."

Kirkwood said Wembley officials had also agreed to release a further 5,000 tickets to be allocated to those who had already applied.

In 2006, NFL owners agreed to play one or two regular-season games outside the United States for the following five years.

The Giants beat the Dolphins 13-10 in front of 81,176 fans at Wembley on Oct. 28.
