Sunday's NRL grand final between Melbourne and Parramatta is officially a sell-out after a final ticket release on Tuesday morning.

Almost all of the final 6,000 tickets released by the NRL sold within 15 minutes of becoming available on Tuesday, with the final ticket being purchased by 2.30pm in the afternoon.

The sold-out final follows on from last Friday's 74,549 attendance at the preliminary final between the Eels and Bulldogs, a record crowd for a non-grand final finals match in Sydney.

NRL chief executive David Gallop said the sell-out reflected the interest in Sunday's match.

"It's going to be a memorable afternoon at ANZ Stadium and I know both teams are looking forward to playing in front of such a big crowd," Gallop said.
