Molineux's history and redevelopment numbers
The stadium was the first ground purpose-built for use by a Football League club and has hosted Wolves since the club's early years in the competition.
Its four main stands are the Billy Wright Stand, Steve Bull Stand, Stan Cullis Stand and Sir Jack Hayward Stand. The club undertook major reconstruction between 1991 and 1993 before Queen Elizabeth II officially reopened the redeveloped ground in 1994.
Molineux also hosted the first leg of the inaugural UEFA Cup final in 1972, when Wolves faced Tottenham Hotspur, and was among the earliest British stadiums to install floodlights, in 1953.
A £40m redevelopment proposal announced in 2010 envisaged increasing capacity to 38,000, with longer-term ambitions reaching 50,000.
However, the latest plans remain at an early stage, with Wolves' chairman identifying stadium modernisation and the wider Molineux Quarter as medium- to long-term priorities.
Molineux ticket prices by the numbers
For the 2026/27 Championship season, Wolves reduced adult matchday prices, with tickets varying by stand and membership status.
| Ticket statistic | 2026/27 price |
|---|---|
| Cheapest adult member ticket | £18 |
| Cheapest adult non-member ticket | £20 |
| Most expensive adult member ticket | £37.35 |
| Most expensive adult non-member ticket | £41.50 |
| Cheapest adult season ticket | £549 |
| Most expensive adult season ticket | £699 |
| Adult membership | £30 |
The club also introduced fixed season-ticket prices of £175 for under-18s and £75 for under-14s across all four stands. All 21,906 available season tickets sold out ahead of the campaign.
With a record crowd exceeding 61,000, a modern capacity approaching 32,000 and a longer-term ambition to reach 50,000, Molineux remains an important part of Wolves' identity as the club looks towards its next chapter.
