TRAVEL and ticket details will be announced early next week following discussions with the owners of the Millennium Stadium and the Football League.
It is anticipated that tickets will be on sale to season ticket holders as from next weekend.
Ewood officials are expecting to receive an allocation of 30,000 for their first major final since they lost to Wolves in the FA Cup at Wembley in 1960.
Chief executive John Williams and his staff will sit down in the next 48 hours to determine the fairest means of coping with the demand.
"We're expecting to get around 30,000 tickets," said Williams.
"We've got 17,000 season ticket holders, I don't think there will be any left over, and I would hope that most of the demand will be satisfied. So we'll do our best.
"We'll sit down later this week and work out exactly how we are going to distribute them. We'll look at our databases and so on and, hopefully, come up with a fair and equitable way of distributing them."
"As I've said, 30,000 is a fair chunk when you consider the population of the town is 120,000 so the roads should be reasonably empty in Blackburn that day, I would hope."
Rovers' march to the final has already swelled the Ewood coffers to the tune of £1 million.
And if the club were to go on and win it, they would then stand to profit from all the spin-offs a place in next season's UEFA Cup would bring.
"We've had two horrific seasons in terms of financial impact, even though last season was a winning season in terms of the fact it culminated in promotion," said Williams.
"But they were two expensive years and there is, obviously, a financial upside to reaching the Worthington Cup final which is very welcome.
"And if we are able to go on and win then there's a UEFA Cup place at stake as well, which in turn can start off another financial stream again depending on performances.
"No-one's counting their chickens yet but the return of European football to Ewood Park would be a terrific plus, both for the club and our supporters."
