As with 2022, additional seating in the East Stand means a full bowl for the event which sees defending champions Giants take on Fife Flyers on 1 March.
The Flyers will be backed by some 600 fans for their first-ever Elite League final. A small number of tickets were returned by the Flyers and put back on general sale on Tuesday, but by Wednesday they'd all been bought.
A crowd of 7,319 saw the Giants beat Cardiff Devils 3-2 in overtime last season to take the trophy.
