Really hit home that post mate. Hope you get sorted somehow.Son (rings me from school during lunch-break): "Dad, did you manage to get me a ticket for the Cup Final?"
Me : "No son, the cheapest I can get for us was £145 for me, £120 for you"
Silence ensues. Awkward 10 seconds.
Son : "Dad, you did the right thing, I wouldn't want you to pay so much".
Bad Dad or Good Dad, those f*ckers at the FA have took away a great day out for us.
They are adding small numbers of £45 and £70. I keep seeing them popping up and then disappearing as soon as they come on line.
At moment we are down to £145 and £250 but worth keeping your eye on the web-site if you can as looks like some returns are working their way through
395 x £145 left (@ 14.00 hrs)
474 x £250 left.
Last season ticket window opens at 3pm so perhaps we can expect a revised update this evening from City regarding City members.

£265 for a day he'd remember for the rest of his life. Sounds like a bargain to me. Each to their own.
Fucking hell mate.

Feel sorry for you both sir.Son (rings me from school during lunch-break): "Dad, did you manage to get me a ticket for the Cup Final?"

Ignore anyone saying otherwise
To some people the £400 plus, by the time travel and everything else is taken into account, just can't be managed. So much for the working man's game

You did the right thing. Maybe treat him to a European away next season. You'd be able to do a Euro away day the 2 of you with accomodation and flights for cheaper. All the group stage aways went right down to general sale this season.

I paid £800 in 2013. 2 seats in Club Wembley, "luxury" coach, Michelin star meal somewhere in deepest Hertfordshire, free ale for me (but not for the then 8 year old).
All paid to Ian St John Jnr.
My lad will remember that day for the rest of his life, given we live in Wigan and he has the jibes ever since! I'll never forget how upset he was too.
Hopefully, the cheap tickets that i have now luckily secured will remedy his bad memories!

Of course I'm not going to pay for them, that would be idiotic.
Respect has to be earned and people who play the victim on a public forum don't deserve any.
If there's any tickets left there's still time for this dad to do the right thing - get them both to Wembley.

As well as the mad prices, I prefer to sit high up. Regret not biting the bullet for £115 last week.

That's a result and credit to @ManCityX as well for tagging you just in case you missed Marvin's post. Purely down to chance whoever gets those cheaper tickets so anybody else put off by the higher prices just keep checking the website whenever you can
