sellout crowd

No seats left

A sellout crowd fills every available seat at a venue—no tickets remain.

The term appears in sports and entertainment contexts: The band played to a sellout crowd at Madison Square Garden.

Despite the negative connotations of "sellout" elsewhere, a sellout crowd is purely positive, indicating high demand and commercial success.
