The Boxing Day clash between Boro and Nottingham Forest at the Riverside Stadium has sold out.
The attendance will be in excess of 32,000 and will be the biggest at the Riverside since the team's relegation from the Premier League.
The attendance figure eclipses the season's highest so far - 22,930 for the visit of Bournemouth .
The figure also comfortably betters the 28,229 attendance that watched Tony Mowbray's men swat aside Sheffield Wednesday to hit the summit of the Championship two years ago.
Some visiting Forest fans will make the trip to Teesside free of charge thanks to the club's chairman.
Those who were quickest off the mark will be travelling north at Fawaz Al Hasawi's expense after the chairman forked out to pay for 10 coach-loads of fans to thank them for their support this season.
Fans of both teams should allow extra time for parking – there is no public transport - and road closures around the stadium likely to be in operation much earlier than normal.
The area around the visitors coaches will be closed at full time. Supporters in the East Stand and North Stand heading towards The Leeway/Dockside Road will be directed via Car Park E.
