FA Cup final ticket allocation

[jonspiderman]

OK correct me if i'm wrong but Wembley has a 90,000 capacity. Just been told that Chelsea and Man Utd are going to be receiving 25,000 tickets each, which means if you are a member as I am at Chelsea your unlikely to get a look in for a ticket.

So what happened to the other 40,000?

Do you really need to ask?

The FA have ramped up the selling out of fans to a new level this year. They run the game now purely for themselves and their big business pay-masters.

It stinks, so I've generally stopped going to football (plus I'm a Watford fan, so it was easy to give up this season )

Had the same last year when the Happy Hammers got there, the allocation wasnt enough for all the season ticket holders, let alone us humble Club Members...its abysmal but it wont change while its run by the current bunch of cronies!!

HH.

But hasn't this ALWAYS been the case??
Tickets are always distributed amongst the other clubs aren't they?

Corporate sponsors and Wembley season tickets holders I'd imagine (oh and any celebrity/MPs etc that fancies taking in a game on May 19th)

[pies]

I think just about every club in the FA's juristiction gets an allocation even if its only 1 ticket

[oxford drinker]

I think every club who enters gets an allocation of tickets (or a ticket), then there's the sponsors etc. It's always been inadequate and unfair, and getting more so the more £££ is involved

Manchester United have more season ticket holders than their allocation so as a normal club member our chances of getting a ticket are a big zero
