I really don"t think its safe to assume anything...
There are a number of options open to the team. They have used various entry routes in the past including, click fest (best option IMO), satelite (just as good IMO), ballot (not good at all), local live satelite at venue (okay if you live nearby). It could be any or a combination of these.
I think they should save one seat till after all seats are allocated, and have a $2 rebuy for the one seat. I think it would be interesting.
