FA Cup fever as Wolves v Manchester United close to a sell out
Wolverhampton has been gripped by FA Cup fever, with tickets for the quarter-final clash with Manchester United close to selling out less than 48 hours after going on sale to non-season ticket holders.
Thousands of fans rushed to get their hands on a ticket for one of the most eagerly-anticipated games of the season to see if Wolves can book a place at Wembley.
It will be the first time for years that a cup match has sold out to members only - meaning no tickets will be available for general sale.
The game will also be shown to the biggest TV audience of the season. As the match will be live on BBC One around five million people are expected to tune in.
Excitement has been building for the tie following a cup run which has come during what has already been a memorable season for the club. Molineux is sure to be rocking for the tie against the Manchester giants on Saturday night.
Around 2,500 remaining tickets went on sale on Saturday morning after the deadline for season ticket holders to secure their seats passed. By Sunday afternoon only a handful remained in the family section of the ground.
Only supporters who have racked up enough loyalty points during the season were able to purchase a ticket for what will be the final step before Wembley, if Wolves can defeat the Red Devils.
Wolves played Tottenham at Wembley in December but victory would secure the club's first cup match at the home of football in more than 30 years.
