Fans have been told to keep checking Ticketmaster's website as well as Queensberry Promotions' social media account.
Fans desperate to get their hands on tickets for Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte have been given a lifeline.
Tickets went on sale on Wednesday and demand for tickets hit a staggering level with it peaking at 170,000 people in the virtual queue.
Within three hours, 85,000 tickets were sold but it left many fans furious having been kicked off the website at the checkout.
The stadium only holds a 90,000 capacity but promoters are now applying to the local authorities in a bid to extend the capacity to 100,000 fans.
"Tyson is a rockstar, he could have sold-out three Wembleys today," Ticketmaster said.
At least another 5,000 tickets will be up for sale and Frank Warren - the UK promoter for the event - said the following in his statement.
"Fans are advised that only a limited number of tickets remain. A small number of Ticketmaster's Platinum tickets are still available online, while 5,000 coach tickets are yet to be released.
"Details for the sale of the remaining coach packages will be announced in the coming days and will be available via Ticketmaster.co.uk."
Warren added: "I always imagined that this fight wouldn't be a hard sell so I am happy we opted to stage it in the biggest and best venue in the UK. This illustrates just what a big draw Tyson has become, his personality is infectious and he truly is a champion of the people.
"He is also the No.1 heavyweight in the world and one of the most recognised sportsmen on the planet. I am thrilled that we are bringing him back to Britain to perform on the biggest stage of all against Dillian Whyte and a domestic dust-up that will be the biggest boxing event of the year.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the fans for their incredible support of this event and we will be in for some night on April 23 at Wembley Stadium."
Fans are also asked to follow Queensberry Promotions on social media for further ticket announcements.
