Albion are ready for a North London invasion when Arsenal visit in the FA Cup.
The fourth round showdown on Sunday week will feature the biggest away following ever for a match at the Amex.
The Gunners will have 4,500 supporters at the game. They have been given the whole of the South stand and part of the corners to accomodate the 15 per cent of capacity allocation they are entitled to under the rules of the competition.
Albion chief executive Paul Barber said: "We can only accomodate the 15 per cent if the safety authorities are comfortable.
"Arsenal fans travel well. Usually there are no problems and I think it will make a great occasion."
Around 24,000 tickets have been processed so far, including Arsenal's allocation.
Tickets are now on sale to Bronze members and Barber is expecting a sell-out.
"I would hope so," he said. "I'd be really disappointed if we didn't get to a full house."
