Slightly surprised to see this one hasn't sold out yet as, although I was away, I assume the Newcastle game did as the tickets I put onto the exchange sold.

I appreciate it's still "holiday season" but, as above, so was the Newcastle fixture.

The bulk of the seats remaining are in the usual blocks neighbouring the away section. Is it just the reputation of Leeds' fans that's putting people off or something else?

Leeds is just small suburb of Sheffield so not surprising really?

Isn’t it bank holiday weekend? Lots of people taking one last chance to get away before the holidays end maybe.

Maybe 3pm on a Saturday isn't a great time for football?

Plenty of non-league football on at the same time and also still the cricket playing season.
Sunday 2pm for the Leicester game is far more convenient.

I'm flying off to New York on Saturday lunchtime and I'll be sat on the plane throughout the flight wondering how quickly I can get the good/bad news once I've landed!

A very valid reason l'd say.

Bank holiday true, but note that Leicester and Palace haven't sold out either over the next 3 weeks.

I expect for those seats we usually sell match by match, the feeling that it's going to be an expensive winter may just hit matchday ticket sales.

The Newcastle game didn't sell out as I got a refund on my ticket, but my other half didn't. We were at a wedding, but it's unusual for two seats together not to sell together.

As others have said, a bank holiday weekend means people are away or attending family dos.

The game has to be a sell out (or very close to) for the club to activate the sell-side of the exchange.

Though the club announced it as 'sold out' enabling the Ticket exchange to kick in, meaning there was a possibilty of you selling your tickets.
This weeks game has not 'sold out', so in that situation the Exchange tickets do not go on sale.

Oh yes we are. As has been mentioned many are taking a final break as it’s a bank holiday. My daughter and grandson are ST holders, they are with family and friends for their annual New Forest camping splurge, in other circumstances they would never miss a match. Multiply that scenario many times over with Albion fans and that will be the reason.

630 left would suggest it won't sell out.
