The Premier League side were allocated 2,000 seats in the Milton End for the south coast derby at Fratton Park on Tuesday, September 24.

It was confirmed on Tuesday morning that no more tickets for away supporters were now available, with those Saints fans unable to attend able to watch the game live on a big screen at St Mary’s.

Blues supporters were quick to snap up their entry to the much-anticipated clash, with home tickets selling out on Saturday.

Next week’s third-round fixture will be the first meeting since 2012, when David Norris’ famous volley earned Pompey a 2-2 draw at St Mary’s.
