Expect a late rush on Thursday and Friday. Many folk will be collecting their ire pay packet in over 5 weeks.
Also, WSU has been released as high as roe N. True, in the middle blocks this is about half the seats but it’s way more than half as you move away from the centre and on the extreme wings, all the tickets are currently up for sale.
Note also that the pricing was announced as £5 less than buying on the day which means the club were at least initially facilitating POTG
Predicting 29k+ with the shelf being opened up late on Friday.

With a Sat pm kick-off and mega-cheap price, it didn't need Nostradamus to see that this was going to sell well.

Always travel in huge numbers so not surprised to see they’ve sold a shed load.

784 of the ‘available’ seats left. As others have said think there will be plenty more sold on Friday if pay day.
Possibility of POG Saturday too.

West Brom sales have slowed down. I can see us getting the southern half of W1A opened for ourselves with some of the SW corners as the divide.

85% over here didn't think it was going to be 27K+ (although i guess most votes before price announced / 3pm confirmed)

Total of 1861 tickets on sale in the home ends after the full opening of the WSU
78 of these are on lower tiers although virtually all are singles or W/C seating.
At the current rate of sales these could sell out before kick off, especially with the pay day factor at the end of this week.
If more tickets in the home end were required then the shelf has not been seen available yet and if West Brom fail to sell their lot there it would be an easy move to open the southern half of W1A and have the segregation in some of the SW corner. Even if they do shift their lot then there is still the option of some of the southern half of W1A becoming available.
At this time West Brom have 441 tickets on sale from south stand blocks B to G. The corner (estimate about 750-800) blocks H and I are still available if they needed them but their sales have slowed significantly in the past couple of days. At the current rate I don’t see they will need any more than what’s currently on offer.
There are also 30 seats available in hospitailty.
At this time, if not another ticket was sold I estimate the current gate to be around 27,400 (30,750 minus 2300 unsold minus about 1000 not yet offered for sale (from Shelf and W1A))
Even if we don’t sell out, it’s already been a great effort. The stands that are already full are pefect for showing a capacity crowd on the telly. I’m convinced no other club on the telly box from the top two divisions in the FA Cup this weekend will show a stadium as full as ours!
