Wolves staff with FA Cup semi-final tickets

Wolves have sold out their 33,000 allocation for the match at Wembley against Watford on Sunday, April 7.

And club staff have been working hard to ensure all the tickets are printed out and sent in the post ahead of the match.

Tickets for one of the club's biggest games in years sold out fast as fans were desperate to be a part of the historic day.

They first went on sale to season ticket holders before the remaining tickets sold to members, with the last ones being snapped up on Wednesday. They are expected to be posted out today. (fri)

Kerri Davies, membership manager at Wolves, posted a picture showing sacks filled with semi-final tickets and said: "Semi-final ticket mail out well under way, all tickets will have left the office by the weekend."

Anticipation is continuing to build for the game, which could see Wolves progress to the FA Cup final for the first time in nearly 60 years.

Next Sunday will see the biggest movement of Wolves fans since the 2003 play-off final in Cardiff as 33,000 supporters make their way down to the capital.

Judging by how quickly semi-final tickets sold out it is thought many more thousands of tickets could have been sold to Wolves fans who have been left disappointed.

Pubs around the Black Country are expected to be packed as fans who were not lucky enough to get a ticket watch the match on TV instead.

Wolves made it through to the last four of the famous competition for the first time since 1998 thanks to a memorable victory over Manchester United at Molineux. Manchester City take on Brighton in the other semi-final.
