Blizzard finally made a official post on the US forums (expect this to be on EU soon also) regarding SOM transfers. There are some good surprises there too, so you can now chose your target realm free. Good stuff for Rp players!
Only for those who speak english and those who want to move to Wrath.
Everyone else is out of luck.

Seems a bit optimistic to me.

How I imagine what’s going on:
Blizz-1: Now how can we spoil the fun for players moving from SoM …
Blizz-2: No idea, we promised free transfer.
Blizz-1: I got it. Listen: We offer free transfer to ONE PvP and ONE PvE realm in each Classic Era and Wrath Classic.
Blizz-2: But what about PvPers having both Ally and Horde players in SoM.
Blizz-1: That’s the beauty of it, just listen to this:
… Additionally, we’ll soon be removing the restriction from Classic Era realms that prevents players from having both Horde and Alliance characters on the same PvP realm. This should make it easier to consolidate your characters in the same place on Classic Era, should you choose to move your SoM characters there. We know many Classic Era players have gathered on realms such as … Firemaw and Pyrewood Village in EU, and due to that consolidation, this change seems appropriate.
We blame it all on the players as usual, and t the same time we get yet another Retail feature in through the backdoor. Soon people will be complaining about lack of character slots, Then we - reluctantly - give in and give 20 per realm.
Blizz-2: But what about the RPers, and the non-English speakers
Blizz-1: Just forget them, they make some noise and stay anyway.

“Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.”
Still no official statement in EU. One should believe such important information was published quick in EU, but it seems the World of Blizzard stops at the Atlantic ocean.

Let me oooooouuuut blizzaaarrrrdddddd
So if I understood correctly they will implement a way to bypass any realm lock then?
The blue post says all wrath realms are allowed as destination…so if you plan to start on one of the wrath realms which are currently locked for new players just create a character on a som realm now and transfer it to the locked server then?
gg blizz 
Doubtful. If you currently have a level 80 for example on a locked realm, you will likely be able to transfer another character there from SoM. This would have zero impact on realm queues as if the characters are on the same account you are not adding additional players to the queue, rather allowing current players to move their other characters from realms they do not intend to play for varies reasons (friends/guild etc on locked realm). For example, I play Firemaw a lot now, so moving a character from SoM there would have absolutely zero impact. It would not add any additional players because I am already maining there.
This type of feature should also arrive before paid transfers. If you’re level 80 on any realm you should be able to move same faction characters from other realms there even if it’s locked. This would keep the realm locked for new players and bots but allow actual active players to bring additional characters there.
All OPEN realms, of course.
The fresh realms are not available as target realms, too.
But the blue post is vague enough to leave some interpretation.
But since the fresh realms won´t be available, the locked realms probably won´t be available too.
Intersting will be if the realms without PCT will be available or not…

It’s UP:
Update:
Season of Mastery players can now transfer their characters for free to a Classic Era realm or to a Wrath Classic realm of the same ruleset (Normal or PvP). Please be advised that this transfer is one way only and final. Your decision cannot be changed or reversed.
Greetings,

And now even also on the EU realm:
