On Saturday, the Minstermen sealed promotion back to the Football League with a 1-1 draw at title rivals Rochdale with a last-gasp goal, ending a 10-year exile. However, plans for an open-top bus parade were thrown into doubt after both City of York Council and North Yorkshire Police rejected the proposals.
More than 4,100 tickets have since been sold for a promotion party at the club's home ground. When does the promotion party take place? The party takes place at the LNER Community Stadium later.
Turnstiles for the event open at 18:30 BST, with celebrations due to get under way at 19:30. Do I need a ticket? Yes, the club said tickets for the event were selling fast with more than 1,600 sold in the first hour.
Tickets cost £1 with the money going towards an admin fee and a donation to Yorkshire children's cancer charity Candlelighters Trust. They can be bought online at a maximum of four per person. Sales will be monitored closely with more stands ready to open if required, a spokesperson for the club said.
