FA Cup Final | Ticket Criteria

[Axel Freed]

Hoping to get one from somewhere, anywhere, for my old man who’s 89 and not a smart phone kind of guy - Will there be any real tickets issued in such circumstances ?

Dunno but you can do a few on one phone.

The access team told me that anyone who has a plastic seasoncard (and there are some, like me and mum) can request a print at home ticket for it.

Though getting them to actually send it in time might be another matter, as my experience is they claim they've emailed it you and nothing comes, then the day before a match it magically appears!

I'd much rather a cup final still had a proper printed ticket - nothing beats looking at that thing of beauty (other than winning obviously!)

In the queue for the semi final, nearly everyone around me seemed to have there’s printed on a scrap of paper. No idea how, as it didn’t give me an option. But it’s clearly possible. I was in Cat. 1 though thinking about it, so maybe they hadn’t got there’s through City and were more neutrals? Not much help I know.

Would be nice to see the criteria released at some point!

You can go to the ticket office at Wembley before the game and get one printed off. Although you might have to come up with an excuse why you can’t use a mobile one.

I had to do that for the Semi-Final. I mislaid my phone on the Friday with both my rail ticket and match ticket on it. I downloaded the rail ticket to my iPad. I went to the box office and was issued a paper ticket within 15 minutes.

*Theirs.

The powers that be are still deciding whether 75% or 50% of the total allocation will be exclusively for 18-25 year olds.

Possibly screen shotted the ticket, emailed their personal email the photo, then printed out

Glad you got sorted. My phone froze in the queue for the turnstiles so I had to give them my supporter number and they printed off the tickets straight away.

Or 100%

If anyone’s not going and isn’t using their season ticket, I’d love to go. Emailed all the FA’s in the country and got no where. I split a season ticket and he will only manage to get one.

Did you get responses from the FA’s?

Most likely sweet FA.

I suspect they get inundated every year with requests

 

[Corky]

The tickets are supposed to be a reward for the people at the FAs etc even though they will likely cost £145, no chance they would pass them to someone will no connection, if they don't want them they go back into the pot. There is no way they are letting strangers have access and possible touts.

Yeah a lot asked if I was associated with a club or referees. Others said they would put me in a ballot but they only had a couple of tickets so it was unlikely. A few also said they’d already sold them, I emailed them around 2 weeks ago straight after the semi, so some must sell them early.

I haven't had much luck either. I think United in the final is pushing up demand.

100% correct. County FAs in places hundreds of miles from Manchester will have plenty of rags based locally who have contacts there in order to get their hands on those tickets.

It doesn't quite work like that. There is the same number of tickets in both ends of the stadium allocated to the FA. My guess is around 5000 or so. When the member clubs apply for tickets they state which end they want the tickets in. So United fans applying won't affect the ticket supply to City fans.
