this could be a financial disaster for leeds, they have to pay police, stewards, hospitality staff for a capacity crowd, but cannot sell 1 ticket incase all the season ticket holders turn up! Potentially they could loose tens of thousands of pounds and then get knocked out.
It's also a problem for Saints.
The Challenge Cup is a split gate after costs have been taken.
So assuming some fans do pay, then that will be taken up by stewarding etc (Heathrington will give you nothing).
Becasue Leeds will be knocked out by Saints... no idea why saints wont be there, maybe our coach gets a pucnture and we miss kick off, resulting in Celtic getting the win.

So 50% of zero is ermm 0
At least we wont be in minus figures.
Alternatively, do the host club sell the allocation to the visiting team? If so both teams loose as they have to give away the tickets they have paid for, as you said it hasn't been thought through! Unless of course you are barrow and you sell wigan a couple of thousand tickets you were unlikely to have sold anyway!
