I've no idea why, but the club cited UEFA rules when selling tickets for both home games.
As for why Basaksehir didn't sell tickets to their own fans, it was a decision made by them. Reading between the lines there appears to have been some arguments going on between the two clubs. First Basaksehir asked for a six figure fee to allow the game to be broadcast back to Turf Moor, the collection point was announced last minute and when the game did happen the ISDN line for audio commentary via Clarets Player failed to work, leading to it being broadcast via a mobile phone. Apparently the FA official who travelled to Istanbul with the club has put a complaint in to UEFA. The clubs media guy described it as an "utterly mad two weeks".

It would clash rather strongly with Erdogan’s pleas for people to covert all of their foreign currency into Lira and sell their foreign electronics.
In Germany, you often get supporters of Turkish clubs other than the one facing German opposition in European matches, but I don’t think that kind of solidarity extends to Istanbul BB.
You won’t have this problem with the Greeks.

Penalty, yes. Second yellow, bollocks.

I would be shocked if they have anywhere near the expatriate support of the Big Three or Trabzonspor.
