West Ham have practically given away a lot of their season tickets so it's no wonder they have sold out.
The problem is you end up like Newcastle with no massive financial gain from having a larger stadium and 50 odd thousand impatient punters expecting a win most weeks. You then have to find players who can handle that and that costs a lot of money.
Spurs have always seemed like a large enough team in terms of fan base to sell tickets at that kind of stadium, but not at Wembley. Again giving away tickets and puts them in a situation their players will struggle to handle as it takes a very good player to play in front of 80000 and perform every week (look at Man United's decline until maybe this season) without the financial gain everyone assumes is happening because there are more bums on seats.
It probably is mostly beneficial for a club to move stadium / have some games at Wembley for bigger crowds all things considered, but not all the conseqiences are positive.

Not sure if you realise how many people live in the London area... It's quite a lot. People in my office travel in from Kent, Buckinghamshire and Essex, all Spurs fans. It's not hard to get to the grounds, even if you lived as far south as Brighton or as far North as Milton Keynes.
