Choo confirmed 18K (the number first came from the Comms person at the far end of the table), and Dalman went for 18K as the number that would be sold on the strength of that and other announcements due to be made.
When the club announced that 12,000 season tickets had been sold ,around 9,600 tickets were still available to buy which included hospitality tickets. On that basis around 21,500 -21,600 are available to buy.

Perhaps the 18,000 figure is the number of non hospitality tickets available, or they misquoted.
