Similar scenes were seen on Friday when hundreds of season ticket holders and supporters trust members flocked to Rodney Parade for tickets.
County are preparing to install a temporary stand with 1,000 seats behind the North Terrace to accommodate fans.
The match will kick off at 5.30pm on Saturday, January 27.
