Sorry, mis-read your post when I did my previous comment. I was under the assumption of Leicester releasing more tickets. Having said that, the Albion will probably go down the loyalty points route, and, unfortunately for those who are not ST holders will be the ones to miss out.
I'm not sure they can. As it's the Premier League ticket allocation now of 3,000 ( or 10% for smaller grounds) I don't think you can pick up extra allocations as you could in the Championship. Gone are the days of us having 7,000 fans as we did at MK Dons and 6,000+ at Fulham.
Blimey, that was quick and therefore I'm extremely lucky. Phoned the ticket office at 3.00ish and no mention of "not many left/sold out tough titty". Phew!
