They shouldn't have a problem for the semi final, my dad had only been to one game in 18-19 and got one no problem. The final would be a different story with the smaller allocation.
Never felt worse than after the semi final, even ****ing worse that my Watford supporting mate was about 50 metres away and I'd been giving it the bigun for weeks before... the way they lost in the final didn't even please me as I just knew we'd have won if we got there.
Anecdotally growing up in North London Wolves were one of the more noticeable 'random' teams. You'd see wolves shirts occasionally at school or at the 5 aside pitches, don't think I ever saw any Albion but you'd get a few Villa or Leeds.
Conversely I count any game from the men's first team (including pre season) so sadly my Selhurst Park jaunt with our U23s doesn't count. A stadium change calls for another visit but I've only had that issue with Brentford and Wimbledon.
Sorry I didn't mean to come across as slagging off rugby, I agree that the transparency is certainly significantly better and that the refs are less aloof than football ones are.
Not sure about that one, from what I've seen with Rugby they check nearly everything excessively and still get decisions wrong but there's less uproar as fewer people care and managers and players are less likely to slag the refs off.

Interesting read, if this was meant to improve their image it hasn't gone well.
