That is my gut feeling too. In which case, if it looks like that is happening then I hope the club releases a few more to Grimsby in the final few days. Wouldn't begrudge them another 500 tickets if we can't sell them.

Agree that Grimsby could easily sell more - their allocation is 4,621 for The Amex and they nearly took that many to Southampton in the 5th Round on a school night...
Looks like about 250 seats in W1A are not for sale but I doubt these can be given to Grimsby. E1G is fully on sale so no room for spread there either.

Probably because of the demand for tickets

Yep, patiently waiting over here. Expect tomorrow will see a large amount sold.

Because they're a pub team
Have they even got a full team of their own these days? Half their side usually belongs to another club.
is that even possible whilst maintaining segregation?
Well until @erkan's post above, I'd have assumed they'd keep a ESL block back that was adjacent to the away end and only sell those last minute. If he's right, Grimsby won't be getting more tickets.

Looking at the ticket website I'm not sure we can give Grimsby anymore judging by what we've already sold in the blocks next to the away fans.

Well not as bad as mine - take off at 16.30 fly for 4.5 hours on 3rd June practically guaranteeing our first major trophy and I can’t go OR watch it… *FACEPALM* Thank me later guys. FML.Pisspoor holiday organisation on my part…..on a plane for the Palace game and away for the QF
Yep - plenty already sold in E1G, and W1A mostly gone, so no chance they'll get any more
About 7,800 left currently. 9am tomorrow will I suspect see a large % of those disappear to ST's bringing guests
Well I hope you lot are having more fun getting tickets than we are. Town have had the master stroke of putting tickets on sale, in person only, immediately after tonight’s match v Newport, when with wind chill the temperature is forecast to be -3.
Alternatively, you can wait until midnight to buy online, which you won’t be able to anyway as our ticket system falls down as soon as more than one person tries to log-on at a time.

Whilst I admire the old school sentiment, that does seem a bit harsh. Good luck to yourself and your fellow fans queuing up tonight.

This is where I'm at, me and another STH taking x 2 Albion + but also two guests.
Crikey, sounds like fun! How are they going to manage that. Is it a free for all? I expect a fire drill around 75 mins then!
Out of interest what was the process for the saints game?
Frozen haddock anyone?
They’re on sale to ST holders only, but there’s no loyalty system beyond that. We have almost 6,000 season ticket holders, so demand will almost certainly outstrip supply before it makes general sale.
It was the same process for Southampton, but we only sold about 2,500 to ST holders with another 2,000 being sold on general sale. This game, being on a weekend in a nice city, in our first FA Cup quarter final this side of WWII is a different equation altogether. It’s a huge game for us, irrespective of our tiny chances of a result.
