Got mine Saturday with a week's worth of other post.

There's a list of sorting offices where there's delays in post deliveries:

Still think it’ll be closer to a 1000 (official allocation 966) & start point will be around 62 with short purchase windows, as they won’t want the grief of a last point scramble again, that way they can pull the plug once it reaches the point where tickets won’t supply all the next point total.

What they give anyone else is fact but not policy.
Competition rules allow us 966, if they are unable to sell out to home fans so be it give visitors more, but they would sell this out without giving us any, so why allow a one off sale & miss out on a potential new home fan who may become a regular, giving us over the max doesn’t make any business sense whatsoever, unless it’s a segregation issue.
I could be totally wrong 🤞 I am, but we will know very soon.

I believe segregation means we should get the same as Reading. Why it's taking so long to release ticket details for a 6.5k capacity stadium though is beyond me.

There was a bit of nonsense at the Reading game, wasn't there? So that may be a factor too.

Rumour is they tried to get it moved to us, so that might explain a bit of the hold up, I think announced Thursday for a Friday sale date

Reading had the whole of the away end terrace - as we did in 1994. I'm not sure if it can be split. I hope not.
And I would assume that they will be expected to give us some seats.
As you say, Kidderminster may prefer to keep as many tickets as possible for their own fans but hopefully logistics of the ground will mean they can't sell part of the usual away area to home fans.

This is a much bigger day for their fans than ours. I haven't got enough pp's to stand a chance of getting a ticket so it's easy for me to say, but I think they should not have to give up any normal home seats for us.

Their average home attendance is 1731 so it shouldn't be the regular fans who miss out. This sort of match attracts many people who have rarely if ever been to a game but of course there is always the potential that they might be hooked and become regular fans.

I haven't missed an FA Cup match at which we've been allowed fans since Macclesfield in 2002, so am hoping we get as high an allocation as possible and that my 50 points is enough. Not optimistic though.

And still no Kidderminster news. Ten days+ just to find out I'm not going to be able to get a ticket.

Nothing on Kidderminster's website about their tickets either.
Maybe still discussing allocation, segregation etc.
Obviously enabling fans to make plans for travel (or a free Saturday) are not a priority.

Unless you are an AST holder then imo you should forget about Kidderminster.

I think that is a realistic opinion if the allocation is around the 1k figure that none will go on sale as tickets just need to be distributed to away AST, this is possibly why there is no rush to put the details up.

I have over 60 points and in recent seasons with the exception of Cheltenham I have not even come close to getting a ticket for away games with these amounts, if any do go on sale to points based on my points and past experiences I would expect to start at 65+.

If Reading got 1500 I don't see no reason why we shouldn't get that either.

Comments from Kidderminster fans seem to suggest that they believe the delay has been over the pricing structure that the clubs can't agree on, their owners see the fixture as an opportunity to cash in on based on the corporate seats already sold, there were some eye watering numbers for the standing tickets already being bandied about.

From the West Ham end I can only assume that with AST automatically taking up the vast majority of any allocation they can still be processed and dispatched going into next week, then with no or a very limited allocation for points sales there is little need for a large window for them to be sold.
