Albion website saying that we have been given a full allocation of 2,000 for Huddersfield game.

But when I look up the capacity of their ground it says 24,500.

Don't they have to give us 2,450 ??

I must confess I thought the same. Maybe this is an initial allocation, and the other 450 will come if we sell out?

No.

The minimum they have to give is the lower of 10% or 2000 tickets.

I thought it was 10% or 3000 which ever is lowest, which means we should get 2450?

I emailed supporter services. They responded very quickly.

Said that the exact allocation is 2292. They pushed for more but Premier League had approved this amount so it was all we could get.

I'd guess the difference is some sort of segregation issue.
