Very odd and a great shame if true. We could easily shift 4000 at the prices with minimal marketing push.

Just had chat with nice bloke in Ticket Office.
Around 1300 sold from allocation of c. 2700. So, c.1400 left at the moment (not sure why difference with posts above on that number..?).
He said that club will wait and assess likely total demand once on general sale before considering further take up,
Unlike a popular league game, there will be a lot of people with mixed groups waiting for later windows to purchase together. So, still think 4,000 would be quite feasible if managed well.

It was actually 4 as we had a thin sliver of block J as well. I did not see from the outset but the total was 2669 which is the standard league total for away fans at Norwich (for breakdown of each block see my post 14).

We've taken 4000 to Stoke I see no reason why we would not take up the full allocation for this one

Norwich tickets for home fans are only available for STH currently so not sure whether that picture really means anything.
It may well be that Norwich don't have STH's in block J, meaning that they would be available to us if we want to take them.

Currently on the Albion ticket website, it shows there are three blocks available with 610 seats free so we must have another block which hasn't been released.

Absolutely stupid, wonder how many thought, oh well have to buy a seat in the crappy off the pitch stand and then 100's pop up after 10 minutes, I quickly got a couple of the last ones in the middle block and then much betters seats appeared after completing the transaction, oh it the away club is always the response - total bollocks, even then most junior work experience employee would realise today there were potentially 18k STH looking for tickets so why not release the lot in the 20 minute close downwtf theyve now released ludicrous chunks of block G

Well it turns out we now have a new phenomenon. Those "missing seats" were not a new block but hidden chunks of the middle block!
It cannot be anything to do with Norwich because what use would they have for seats in the middle of the Albion fans so the question is why? The only thing i can think of is that it may be some kind of response to share the better seats between the tiers.
We all know the club hold some seats for their own use but i cannot remember an instance where chunks of seats in the middle of our allocation were held and later released in their entirety.

Turns out will be at least 280, i say at least because we do not know if the club have more "up their sleeves" so to speak.
Either way it is good that Albion + members will have a chance for another away match.

Thanks for the info.
And yes, great for Albion + members like me who can’t get down to Brighton enough each season to merit a ST but this would be a 20 minute train ride from where I live to Carrow Road for me so a great opportunity to attend an away match.

I managed to get a decent seat (after a few aborted attempts of selecting safe standing) - was waiting since 8.45am but only a few minutes in the queue. Tickets were disappearing very quickly.

Just managed to get one in block F, showing only a couple of wheelchair places left across the blocks and nothing else. Lovely stuff, bus down into Norwich for me.

Norwich run a free service down from North Norfolk through Aylsham for ticket holders, so I intend to hold a 1 man invasion of that
