It does read like that but i do not think they will wait till the bottom tier is almost completely sold otherwise what would be the point of stressing the fact that the upper tier will be seating only if you are not going to offer a choice?
Surely the club do not want the situation where some people who would rather stand are forced to buy in the top tier because the bottom tier was full and some of those in the bottom who would rather sit down bought their tickets fearing the top tier would not open.

Don't forget the ticket mess that was Tottenham away in the cup last season!

Sorry, forgot about this. I've had a response, below:

The allocation is on sale or return so we need to respect a selling order.

We have been instructed to sell lower first and then move to upper. We also want to give STHs the best chance of the £10 seats. If sales start going quick we will open blocks in the upper quickly but again we have to go block by block.​

Many thanks Bozza, will be very interesting to see how this goes.

With about 400 tickets left for Man City after they did open the top tier and still about 900 for Wolves ( with 2 blocks yet to open ) and this being a midweek carabao cup game i wonder if the demand will be as much as i was expecting it to be.
Time alone will tell . Oh i love some ticketing suspense me !

Hopefully the trains to London are a bit more predictable than the West Coast Mainline. (Which is what I’m assuming is causing the slow uptake of City and Wolves.)

Even with the cheap prices I'm having to wait until payday next week, it's a five weeker this month, terrible timing! Hopefully the lower tier sales will be brisk opening up the rest of the allocation

Thanks Bozza, albeit not entirely clear from that whether another Spurs away last season could ensue! My guess is Arsenal need a guaranteed number of sales in upper tier to open it, and just like Spurs, if our club doesn't have the confidence it will sell them, we might only take lower tier?

Not been to the Emerates before. Like to go. Is train the best way to get there from Shoreham?

Leaving Emerates at 9:45pm looks like an 11:30pm arrival back.

Whooooops. Site is knackered for me. Tried to log in to the ticket site and now I'm getting asked for a password. Now returning a 500 error.

Perhaps there is a fair bit of demand??
