Albion have fewer than 9,000 tickets remaining from their 33,000 allocation for the FA Cup semi-final with Portsmouth at Wembley on April 5.
By close of business yesterday the club had sold more than 24,000 seats with season ticket holders and members only having until 5pm today to claim their guaranteed seat via the club’s online tickets system and the club’s Wembley hotline on 0121 525 8141 or 0121 524 3460 for disabled fans.

gosh there selling faster than the free pie n pint at the moll boing boing got my ticket
I with you Tez
Boing Boing got my ticket, and the missus got one now, so no babysitting duties for me at Wembley, drink as much as i like.
Gonna get drunk the MOWBURY way….Oh Yes Oh yes
33,000 tickets would have gone IN ONE DAY at Mol!
YOU HAVEN’T GOT 33,000 FANS!
Pompei have club wembley seats negotiated by the club only about 80 @ £99 each according to the report. Can anyone suggest to JP that we do the same and a few more true supporters can enjoy the day. It will make a better atmosphere too I remember all those empty club wembley seats at the play off final last year.
Just out of interest anybody get sent two lots of tickets?. Not surprised they are selling fast if they continue to send double amount out than what people have paid for haha. No wonder ticket office was closed for ‘essential maintenance’.
3. Just like you sold out for the play off semi - - NOT. Couldn’t sell all ya tickets, you couldn’t sell all ya tickets…. Great support that
3. Ssssshhh. The South Bank was condemmed and knocked down….Hasn’t anyone told you?…By the way they’ve just discovered a major design fault with the Stan Cullis…It’s facing the pitch!!..Going all the way..the Mowbrey way..OH YES!!!!!
Pathetic, can’t sell only 34k tickets. Small town baggies, as ever. Be nice to see you with us in the Prem next season - back to being the plucky underdogs getting stuffed every week.
no 3 A theory I will grant you but one that will never be proved in this millennium. We may not win the cup or go up but your season was over in September you silly tatter
Wolves fans, when do you get chance to sell 33′000 tickets??????
We sold out last year, we’ll sell out this year.
Struggling to sell tickets since losing 4 - 1 at home to the mighty Leicester and a dodgy kick off time.No.2 you’ll need plenty to drink to drown your sorrows after the match,not much time before is there? CRYING IN THE PUB THE ALBION WAY,HA HA.
STILL 9K LEFT EVEN FOR WEMBLEY, U CAN’T SELL YOUR TICKETS… HAVING SOME LOYAL FANS WOULD HELP!!!
if you can’t sell them give them to portsmouth , we would sell them.
and west brom call themselves a big club, oh dear oh dear oh dear
11, Lets just put you straight, we are not struggling to sell the tickets we have simply sold them in a manor that makes sure the supporters that go week in week out get their tickets 1st and have the choice of the price bands. Its what you call a staggered sale so that people cant just go and buy 5 or 6 tickets and pass them onto their mates who may of only attended a couple of games.
Hopefully you now understand….. or maybe not as you seem as thick as a plank!!!!
Anyone having probs getting through to the ticket line for normal match tickets?
I’m trying to get my ticket for the Cardiff game but can’t get through!
Are they using the 0871 number for Wembley too?
Well portsmouth are doing the tickets in stages and are totally sold out at the moment. You still have 9000
9000 available and c’mon c’mon who’s thick now.
Work it out, you know your gonna get beat, so maybe some people are scared of goin.
We have already sold more then yourselves and yours have been available earlier and made easier to
obtain then ourselves
Considering the fact that the ticket sales were disrupted by the bank holiday and the fact that they closed the on-line ticket sales and the phone lines for a day, I think having less than 9,000 tickets left with still over a week to go is fantastic. The staggered sales mean that all season ticket holders and members will have had a chance to get their ticket. I personally got my own ticket on the first day and then rang for another yesterday. I will be very surprised if all the tickets don’t sell. As for all the mean spirited comments from the minority of Wolves fans who have deemed it necessary to voice there opinion on this site, all I have to say is i’d rather be in the position I am now, than where you are. At least I have a choice as to whether I attand the game at Wembley or not, which is a hell of a lot more than you do.
Karl Wood. you have a campacity of 20,000 at your shed of a ground, therefor im guessing that you have about 14,500 season ticket holders so alot less people to keep happy. We have 24,000 on our database which means its alot longer process for us to go through the staggered sale process than yourselves, we will sell out no problem, and yes i admit you are favourites to win but its not a forgon conclusion, lets hope your players think they just have to turn up lik you do, you will have a shock then i tell you!!!
16. I hope that your players think that they only have to turn up to win as well. If Barnsley can beat Liverpool and Chelsea, we certainly have a chance of beating Pompey.
armchair supports jumping on the band waggon
ei terrywembleybaggie,TonyWBA and your wife,codsallBaggie, SherpaVanDiv4winners etc etc.
Easier to obtain i guess you have never called ticket master what a wate of time that is , personally i always look a you guys as our bogey team so it looks like it could be a good match with a few twists and turns hope the atmosphese lives upto it potential win or lose its a great day out for both sets of fans
Andygoing to Wembly, reason being is Pompey will sell there tickets.
22 Ian, totally agree mate, Neither sets of fans would have thought at the begin of the season we would be arranging tickets and travel to the FA.CUP Semi Final (yes thats right dingles) im sure that the atmosphere will be great and hopefully we can show a worldwide audience that english football is not all about the big four!! Ignore the dingles on here… one word describes them…. JEALOUS!!!!!!!
No.15
They are using 0871 271 9780 for Wembley Tickets. It takes 15mins to get answered that’s if you can get on the queue and are not cut off when you get to the front of the queue. Hopefully you can get to a computer and purchase on line mate.
They introduced a new system for selling them before thinking it thro so those with more than one person on listed on their account have to call up the albion.
Normally, you go to the ticket office to buy a seat and they send you away to the pay on the day kiosks where your details can’t be registered on your card for big games.
Perhaps the ticket office or someone in management will read this as the WBA ticket office doesn’t appear to want to look at its systems with supporters in mind.
Unfortunately, nothing changes at the ticket office.
I could go on…..
Our players will turn up, as we will put a weakended side out on saturday against Wigan.
Yes our ground is smaller, but I love it and and we have as many season ticket holders and members as yourselves. None of our tickets have been available though the club direct until tomorrow. If we had 35, 000 stadium, it would be filled easily. Your just a smaller club compared
to Villa and Birmingham.
All in all west brom, I agree lets make it a day to be proud of english football, and make one heck of aa noise at wembley, cos we certainly will.
25
I know how you feel!!
I’ve emailed the club.
And got a response.
They told me to go to the ticket office.
I live in Cardiff - hence wanting a ticket for this game especially.
Great to see that our club is still focussed on the little people and not just concentrating on the glamour game!!!
Lol!
Tamworth,
your comment number (14)
Metaphorically….you are wasting your breath in attempting to reason, or give factual statements,
facts just spoil a good argument as far as the
dingle element among the Wolves fans are concerned.
I swear if Samuel Eto signed for the Baggies,
you would have them saying he is crap.
( Oh, and before someone says Eto would never sign for Sandwell/Tescos whatever……again it`s just a metaphor.
Where are you Malvern, E 11, Zoff,
let`s have some proper footy chat.
3… Its because our club know how to sell them properly..
I actually think the way we have sold them this year is much better than the way they sold them for wembley last year (oohh listen to me as if we play there every year)
We will have no tickets left when the day comes I can assure you of that
Fair play to Pompey - at least they’ve got an atmosphere
at Fratton Park. More than Arsenal, Boro, Fulham, Wigan,
Derby, Bolton have got. If we don’t win it then I hope
Pompey go on to win it. Having a good laugh at the tatter’s
jealous comments on here - when was your last big day out? Cardiff or Stoke away
probably when your moronic fans can have fun glassing and slashing
people.
No. 26. I remember the last game of the season 1994 when the Baggies took over Portsmouth and outnumbered you at YOUR home game. You were outsung, outfought and you LOST 1-0. Portsmouth won the league Division 1 back in about 1949 and 1950 but only because we sold you the best centre forward you had had up until then, one Ike Clark. As for Villa, they have marginally more trophies than we have won, Birmingham have sadly, never won anything. We are NOT a Birmingham club, but a Black Country club and VERY proud of it. Now stop trying to copy the few Wulfies on here whose only source of enjoyment is spiteful comment. We shall give you a game on April 5th, regardless of the outcome. Oh, and don’t worry about the noise, you’ll hear us.
10.
pity you cant get a proper attendance at the poorthawns inst it. its all very well selling out if you are going to Wembley in a semi final.
you sandwell fans that keep saying our season is over and we are only looking forward to playing your lot are just so far wrong. didnt you do maths at school couple of points outside of the playoffs with a game in hand. learn to do your maths. and as for saying we could only draw at home to QPR they are one of the inform teams in this division at the moment unlike Leicester, do you homework before you open you mouth.
15,took me ages yesterday but got through in the end,boing boing
18, tracy i love you xxx
21,yeah cant wait to go to my first game,and its at wembley too,boing boing
31.
that is completely below the belt and uncalled for you have just shown your true colours.
moron.
michael, michael, michael…..still full of hatred towards us then ?? havnt you got any homework to do in half term ?? didnt we beat QPR 5-1 !! actually, i fancy QPR to challenge strongly next year as they have rich owners, unlike urz, that spend a little. You are just jelous that we are off to wembley again, twice in less than a year ! maybe in your lifetime you may go…………..there again…..
Terrywembleybaggie, i’m glad to hear that you have your ticket, perserverence always pays off in the end.
And thankyou it’s nice to be loved. xx
tryed 2 get tickets 4 wolves at wembley 2 day some reason thay said thay aint got none wonder y boing boing down wembley way
been there done that and won.
im no at schoool you dimwit and i am most definitely not jealous of your crappy little club, i went through west brom once and it made me sick.at least when we go to wembley we make sure we go for something.
you may have beat QPR 5-1 but they are a much improved team now as anyone with an ounce of football knowledge will know you lost 4-1 to Leicester does that make them great or you crap. neither me thinks.
Pleb
you only boing when your winning.
you cant sell your tikets what a poor club. if bristol rovers wouldsof won they would have sold theres by now, hoefkins is just glad to get out the area!!!
When we were playing champayne football under Big Ron our attendances were around 17 -19 k
Go and look in the record books.
Our attendance has been growing over the last few years and we are now averaging around 22-23k.
This is in spite of price increases and being in a lower division than with Big Ron.
We like Pompey and Wolves are clubs with a proud history. I would not say that we are big in terms of fan base like Villa, Liverpool, Man Ure and Newcastle.
The Wolves are jealous (and they are not alone) Looks like our hopes of European football are better than Villa at the mo. We will sell the 33,000; but properly this time so that those tickets remaining in the next week are the ones going to the part time attendees and the friends of friends of STH who last year got theri tickets ahead of members since the STH were allocated more than 1. Simple. The execution could have been quicker but there you go.
Other thing is that we may be off to Wembley again for the final and hopefully not but possibly again in the P/off final (I would be P’d off!)
At least the FA have realised it is our second home now and the Stripes will be marching in on Wembley this year.
I’d rather have this than 10 premiership points and Earnshaw and Savage too.
Or a millionare chairman who doesn’t spend his dosh.
Boinging to Wembley
6 important points to play for first.
Hi Forever, cheers for the mention. One of the posts above mentioned the Derby playoff final. I have hardly ever been so angry as I was at the sight of all those empty seats and I should say this is NOT aimed at you or even Derby for that matter. There must have been loads of Baggies even if not regulars every week but occasional fans who could not get a ticket, and imagine how they must have felt seeing thousands of empty seats. Whoever gets there this year must demand a change of policy so that the biggest game of the year is played to a full house.
Michael
I will show you good grace and call you by your name.
It`s patently obvious that you hate Albion with a passion,
and that is your prerogative,
it wouldn`t do for me though, hate is a debilitating cancer and renders the individual
devoid of rational thought.
I would just like to say that i am astonished
by your holier than thou comment (37)
you are on here daily, with increasingly bilious attacks about anything Albion,
yesterday you called someone SCUM!!
(a vile terminology)
then have the temerity to claim the moral high ground when someone reciprocates with a volley
back.
This to all the wolves fans. We have still 9.000 left, because season ticket holder and members were
only allowed one ticket each, so really its going to take some time to sell them. This would not happened at the wolves, because they would give their season ticket holders 5 each STH.
Furthermore smethwick baggie….Barnsley and Pompey fans were allowed more than one ticket with each season ticket holder.In Barnsley’s case i think it was 4 each !!!
Its no good trying to explain it to the thick dingles,there as they are planks.
We’ve got a great day out to look forward to,and all they can think of is their cup final when we hit town.
Malvern Hi mate
Yes the thousands of empty seats really was at best farcical and at worst, a disgrace.
All down to the great God money again,
Club Wembley owners have probably paid the equivalent of the national debt in the form of debentures for their seats and choose to use them, or not, as the case may be.
I tell you what though mate………
average gate 22000 ish 33000 tickets,
i guarantee there will still be GENUINE fans
that miss out,
i think the club are doing everything in their power to ensure this does not happen,
the system they have adopted appears fairer than the playoff one.
I was very annoyed last time, when a mate of mine, who attends regularly, but is not on the clubs database…missed out,
my anger was compounded, when i spoke to a woman in a Wembley pub who informed me the last time she attended a Baggies game was the
1993 playoff final against Vale.
I also spoke to a Villa fan who`s Albion STH mate had got him the ticket.
I am simply astonished at the some of the comments on here today.
I think the club should be applauded for the hardline approach the have taken to ensuring that the real fans get their hands on tickets first. I have mine, but i have friends who are awaiting theirs, but they havent been to as many games for varying reasons.
Win or lose it will be a great day out, two great sets of fans with teams who play attacking football.
Oh and Michael, you really are a strange character, you relay yourself in an articulate manner but then make comments like “i went through west bromwich and it made me sick”.
Do you really just hate wba that much that it makes you have terets like episodes???
Michael.
After reading your post I wonder if you actually
went to school! Go on admit it, you copied it from
an idiot, did’nt you!.
By the way, the last time the Dingles went to Wembley
Dick Turpin robbed the coach!.
24
A responsible club looks after all its sth by only selling 1 ticket each not like Cardiff and Pompei 2 and Barnsley 3 in the first phase. This means that every sth has the chance to obtain 2 tickets only compared to a min 3 or 4 for the other clubs, which is the fairer system and takes a little longer to complete.
50 Ken Hawthorn:
It might surprise you,some of “Us Dingles” go to England matches too & not just for the glory of a Cup semi final or Play Offs!
Kent etc, have you really nothing better to do than come onto an albion thread and vent your bitterness and jealousy? One minute you are worrying over us selling our tickets (you needn’t we could sell it twice ovver), the next moaning about glory hunters…make your minds up. (Still no explanation why you couldnt even sell 25000 for your home play off game last year, but still).
At the end of the day, as and when the 33000 masses head for wembley, be it once, twice, three times or even four this year, we’ll be going because….we can! And you can’t. Enjoy the run in, in your pursuit of 9th in the Champ, see you all on the 15th
Kegworth Baggie:
Glassing & slashing went out in the 70’s,just as quickly as it came if,Thank God!
Talking of God,Wbaforever.Are you my old sunday school teacher?
You, like Cyril,HB & TWB tend to talk a lot of sense.
Forever it is inevitable that there will be people complaining about the sale of tickets however it is done. Basically if I get a ticket it is good system and if I don’t it’s a poor one. I just hope all genuine Baggies are there for the big day. If tickets are a problem for Baggies Pompey can you imagine what it would be like for a Black Country Playoff final. I know you are hoping for better than that and we are praying for that but it could just happen.
It never ceases to amaze me the number of comments from Wolves fans on Baggies news. They are clearly more interested in whats going on at the Baggies than their own club. Personally, I never look at the Wolves pages because I am just not interested in anything going on there.
Smug Albion, you really do live up to your name. Look at the results since January 1st and you will find that WE are the form team.
Bomber & forever - don’t bother.
I still look at these pages every day, but rarely feel the inclination to post.
Whats the point of having a discussion with someone who hates you and all you stand for - purely because you watch a different football team ?
I used to get drawn in as you know - but now I feel soiled just reading the comments posted on here - I’m amazed the E&S allows it as i’m sure they wouldn’t put them into print.
Anyway - when there is an interesting debate or topic of conversation i hope we can swap postings again - I enjoy responding to your bloggs jarrod.
Till then I think i will just let michael and his type carry on - its pointless.
Malvern Wolf:
Wolves MIGHT be the form team.But the one thing that still amazes me are the number of pro Freddy/Anti MM posting on both here & the Wolves pages on a regular basis.
Just incase anyone is interested,I’d qualify for 2 Wolves tickets (should they make the play off finals)due to me being a registered Disabled fan,one for me & one for my carer!
landing nets at the ready terry there biting well today,must be this bit of sun weem havin,gone fishing dingles just a wishing.WEVE GOT TO WEMBLEY THE MOWBRAY WAY,,OH YES DOING THE DOUBLE THE MOWBRAY WAY……LOVELY JUBBLY
mickey went through west brom and was sick, was he one his way back from a school trip to cadburys world ?? Happy, i agree. These pages have become full of hate !!!
57malvern, have a look at the table boing boing doing the double the mowbury way
Happy Baggie couldn’t agree more.
It amazes why these inbred halfwit dingles even bother posting on here, surely they would be happier on their own forums dicussing merlin micks latest tacticle debacle, or discussing why he wasted his clubs money on freddy deadwood.
But no they keep coming on here wishing us well for Wembley and promotion, ahhh bless our dingles
Kent Wolf.
Your point being?
Terry, you are right, you have clearly had the better season but we have more points since the turn of the year. IF that continues we will be level with you by the last game and then who knows. You will see that I acknowledge that IF is a big word.
Happy and Happier don’t give up. Sadly there are messages of drivel and hate from my side but you must agree that there are an equal number of Baggie postings filled with the same. Ignore the pathetic ones and enjoy the good old fashioned banter from the good guys. I even laughed outloud at one of Terry’s postings earlier, I never thought that would happen. Up the Black Country.
so now this is a page about peoples typing skills,
and if you don’t like what they say or the way it is typed they are either at school or didn’t go to school or maybe even inbred.
i would suggest that you are the childish ones.
at least last time we went to wembley it was in a final, and we won.
you cant argue with history.
i did go to school and i did get a good education.
63. Freddy is still at wolves and will get his chance and prove himself.
cost 1.5m and has scorted more goals than Luke(loads of goals?)Moore who your gaffer rates at 3.5m i say keep the money and instead of having a loan to lower your capacity use that money instead.
Do any of you lot work?
Oh how silly of me you’re all behaving like big saft kids!
Support who you want… and grow up!
BOING BOING!
58. happy_baggie, Best post ive seen, well done, time for a change, lets talk football not rubbish.
Pompey fan in peace - Guys just been reading your threads, Got a lot of respect for baggies fans especially after that last game of the season cpl seasons back, fab but i just want to say that the majority of the pompey fans do not feel that this will be a walk over in any way, we would have preferred Cardiff or Barnsley but i believe that whoever wins this game will lift the cup ! A lot of you are saying that pompey wont know what hit you if u play to your potential ! Take note that if pompey play to their potential you wont know what has hit you ! its 50/50 on the day !Look forward to shakin ur hands whatever the result ! Play Up Pompey , Boing !
WOLVES FAN HERE
I DO HOPE POMPEY WIN BECUASE ALL THAT ALBION WILL BE SINGING ON THE 15/04/2008 AT THE MOLL
WE ARE GOING TO WEMBLEY
PLAY UP POMPEY

Oh dear! It just so happens that I shall find myself up a mountain somewhere and will miss the most exciting game of you existence. Boing boing boggies.
Enjoy the greatest day of your existence at Wembly; then you can psyche yourselves up the one you’re really nervous about - on the 15th.
And just when we thought the standards couldn’t drop any lower, along came 72 paul. Surely that can’t be his IQ can it?
COME ON U DINGLES,U KNOW U WANT US TO LIFT THE CUP,COME ON ADMIT IT,THEN U CAN ALL COME TO WEST BROM FOR A DAY OUT WHEN WE PARADE THROUGH THE STREETS COS LETS FACE IT U DONT GET OUT MUCH TO CELEBRATE,BOINING ALL THE WAY.1931 ALL OVER AGAIN
