Anyway to look this up? United is also selling tickets so perhaps on them I can see? or third party sites which let you chose the seat before paying?

Thanks

Not a totally accurate method to check the load but have you tried clicking on the seat map? Seatcounter.com will also show farebucket availability but also doesn't give the full picture of the total load.
