Occasionally people come here to ask about the likely availability of tickets after they go on general sale, and since I was going to be checking every day until I found some rather specific seats for the match vs Norwich, I thought I would report my findings here, because it might be useful for future reference, to see how the tickets come and go for a match against a lower table team. The results here are very similar to how sales were for the Bournemouth and Newcastle matches, but obviously tickets are more difficult to get for matches against the top teams.

Tickets go on general sale at 9am on the designated day, and after they are all sold out, more tickets will be released through the 'Ticket Trader' system where season ticket holders can sell their place for the match, so these tend to be in random places all over the stadium, either single seats of pairs of adjacent seats, but very rarely in rows of 3 or more adjacent seats.

If you're buying from abroad, here's a handy clock showing what time it is in London. If you need a row of 3 or more adjacent seats, it's best to get on the website as soon as possible after 9am on the first day of general sale. You will need to register your details (name, address, email etc) before being able to choose your seats.
