ARCHIVOS MR PLAYBOOK (2008)

It took just 90 minutes on Thursday to sell 40,000 tickets made available for the NFL's second overseas regular-season game in London... that features the San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints... these teams will play on October 26... at Wembley Stadium.

The tickets were available to fans who were randomly selected from an overwhelming number of registered ticket requests.

Because of the demand for tickets... the NFL released an additional 5,000 tickets that went on sale immediately.

Last year's Wembley game was such a success that the NFL has committed to playing at least one game in the UK for each of the next three seasons, beginning with this year's matchup of teams who have each come within one game of reaching the Super Bowl in the past two seasons.
