Saints Twitter page updated half an hour ago to say less than 200 home tickets left.
Guessing we won't hit 30K though because of the corporate seating and away seating.
Anyone who doesn't realise what a massive improvement BBC's coverage has been over ITV needs to get things in perspective. Now we've moved down a league we'd struggle to even get our goals on most weeks.
Quite an interesting blog on BBC site which explains what they're looking to do.

Appears the intention is for a show after MOTD on Saturday night to feature every goal from the three leagues rather than an ITV style one featured game approach.
2-5 min highlight packages of each match also on BBC website 48 hours after the game.
Think the live games are Championship only so not a factor to us.
Has anyone still not received an e-mail?
As I hadn't I sent an e-mail to customerservice@performgroup.com as the news story on OS said queries from existing subscribers should be directed there.
I've now received an e-mail that just says:
Not helpful because I've been paying monthly for the last couple of years and the subscription is clearly active as I can log into Saints TV at present. I also have don't have a "Netbanx" reference.
If anyone else has been having troubles would appreciate any feedback as to what you've done and if it's sorted matters.
Agree with those above saying Saitns fans "enticed" by police isn't correct. A police perimiter being set up should not make people do something they know is wrong.
Heading straight for the away fans was shocking enough, but there was then a group trying to use themselves as human battering rams to break the police cordon and get to the away fans.
Those who went straight to the away fans looking for trouble should be ashamed of themselves, especially with the situation we are in at present.
Just started season 1 in Le Tissier. Would have made more sense to go to Molby but how could I say no!!!
Really impressed with the game so far. Only real problem is the desire to sign all the Saints players I can! Managed to get Dyer, Euell and James in starting squad. Ended up signing Killer this morning for £10k as I saw him on the transfer list. Didn't need him but didn't want to see him unwanted!!!
thought that although some of the lads ran their guts out today we were also let down by some poor performances. Lallana looked subdued but think this could be symptomatic of being isolated on the right. Thought dmg was poor and surman looked a step off at times. Think a right back should be a priority as james looks out of his depth. Gillet's passing also seemed a bit off. As posted above wotton was a warrior in the second half and saga looked a cut above at times. Great to see the passion on the lads faces after the baby celebration
Just looked up figures on the FA site.
We only get 45% of the gate (45% Man Utd, 10% FA).
Getting selected for TV makes things better though as £160,000 for a live game, £7,500 highlights and £9,000 for full radio commentary.
