With the kids on school holiday the club should of thought ahead and introduced kids for quid (with a full paying adult ) would have packed out the whole south stand gonna look half empty with over 2000 returns from Cardiff

But there are still going to be 2000 empty seats that we should never have given Cardiff to sell!
Do you know that for sure?

They are selling two different batches of tickets, the East and New South East, so they won't have sent any back

Here's a quote from the Cardiff forum, reads like they've sold all the South Stand tickets
i am totally at a loss why our club lets other clubs take the piss ...... today i go down to get my brighton tickets ......they have split us up into 2 areas .....priced at £28 and £34 .....they give us less £28 seats and more £34 seats..... today at 10am there are no £28 seats left .....i dont blame the girls in the ticket office as they can only sell what there given.....why were we not given our total allocation in the £28 seats ......also its time we charged visiting fans who come to cardiff city football club the same prices as we have to pay to visit there stadiums .......imo these clubs are trying to out price away fans of certain clubs ....leeds last year £37 west ham £30something and so on .....its time our club/leaders got together to sort this out .....with the price of travel and ticket nearing £60 per away trip plus food drink programme etc its nearing £100+ everytime .....its becoming a joke ...someone must take responsability and stand up for us fans

Nor do we need any of these 2 batches.
However, we can assume the south stand is still fully available. At the current rate, the remaining tickets will go today, so I am hopeful some of the rest of the south will sell tomorrow to last minute deciders.

This suggests they have sold all the corner tickets and the only ones left are the ESL.
If you read their website, fans are offered the choice of corners or the side - no mention of behind the goal.
Should also add that I think the SE corner hold 800ish and the ESL (away section) holds 1200 ish, so it's not really surprising the tight bastards have sold out of the cheap ones.
It does mean though that the will be in good attendance.

Just not in person at the ground. I think before lunch you can still buy them at the Amex (I may be wrong here) but can also buy on the phones and online until kick off and from Queens Road until they shut

So it actually sounds like we are going to have a pocket of away fans in the corner and huge spaces of empty seats either side of them to the east stand and south. That is the worst cast secenario from an atmosphere perspective.

So many doom mongers.
Yes, it sounds like the corner for away's is sold out. There is no reason to believe there will be huge spaces of empty seats in the away ESL. Even if they do not sell all their seats here, there is no reason they will all sit to one side, thus making a space.
As it stands, yes we have the eastern half of the south still to be sold, but I suspect, baring the sterile area between the fans, those already sat in the south will have the opportunity to 'spread out'. So, even if we don't sell one of the tickets (I actually think we will) in the 'unsold' area of the south, there is still going to be a bum on every other seat.

Whatever happens, I'm pretty sure, if the hundreds of empty seats behind the goal turn out to be a reality, the club will be able to re-address this for future games. This is the first game with the new configuration, with the away fans being shoved into the corner, in the same was many other clubs do it. Let's give them a chance shall we? I doubt they have done anything without giving it serious consideration.
With sold out season tickets and barely a couple of hundred unsold seats for this game, I think they should be commended for an outstanding acheivement. In the space of one football season, they have changed it from around 7000 Albion fans per game, to well over 22000 of us per game.

Good point, well made.
However I fear for the half empty south at most games, will give the Amex a false sense of being empty on tv and highlights.
