The obvious main difference to the Palace tie is that this one is a Saturday 3pm kick-off, so the club shouldn't even be attempting to extrapolate figures from one tie on to the other. Just looks like a lack of ambition to me. They've not even TRIED to sell this game.
Sometimes it needs a strongly-worded thread title to hopefully catch the club's eye and force them to confront the fact that they're acting like tinpot dickheads. There's only so many tickets they can sell in the lower tier dead zone for little Josh's birthday party treat.
