FA Cup Final | Crystal Palace (N) | Sat 17 May 4:30pm

[levets]

I've not had any comms from the club about this, but then again as a STH on the cup scheme, they probably don't want me there!!

Hospitality season ticket members will have received it.

Time is that coming back mate?

December 2nd

 

[bladdered]

£200 …. I should be so lucky [emoji15]

Fair dues on the trip. Hotel looks like a mid priced knocking shop mind.

I’m hoping they have that type of room service [emoji23]

20.18 from Euston to Man Picc. For the semi-final I booked on a later train and then travelled back in an unreserved carriage on an earlier train.

Just about enough time that even with extra time, pens, lifting of cup and lap of honour….just

Tube back to Euston, Burger King and on train, it’s the getting back to Wembley Park tube the pain in the arse

Disgrace those prices.

Then factor in it's a quick tube ride for Palace fans, zero thought for Northern clubs.

Another £200 day out if you're lucky. £300 or £400 plus for those not so lucky.

Without sticking up for the FA, they don't, can't and won't alter their ticket pricing based on the location of the finalists.
That would be madness.

As a family of 4 its probs a step too far money wise this year. Weve a lot on and i dont run my life around the footy any more

Shame. Its 100% being taken away from the working glasses and its a fuckin shame

The club could achieve a huge promo coup by subsidising ticket costs for a fanbase who are not only very working class, have had way more trips to wembley than any other in recent years

But they wont

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Just hope this final is not going to be our ‘Waterloo’.

When Alf Ramsey was in his declining weeks as England manager he lost a game at Wembley which The Guardian described as "not quite his Waterloo but certainly his Clapham Junction."

This is awful....trains depending on KO, can you get back....hotels....some people not knowing if they'll get a ticket so loads will be holding fire.

Eurovision date would have been set last May and always starts at 20.00, fa cup final date was announced at the start of the season so they've had 9 fucking months to sort this shit out!!!

 

[LongsightM13]

They’ve managed to announce the match officials and the ticket prices, but still not the kick off time, more than three days after the finalists were known
This is surely someone’s actual job
An absolute shitshow from the FA and the TV companies, and another example of the utter contempt fans are held in these days

So L1 where we were on Saturday at £90 goes up from £145 to £175 for the final. I think some tickets for this might go to members after all …

Mate, they’ll be going to anyone who has seen a City game at Etihad or Maine Rd, if we’re going to shift them all.

 

[Stephen230]

Fed up of waiting for news on the KO time, so I booked the train in case they sell out. £114 off-peak return from Manchester.

Off Peak Returns can never sell out. They’re valid on any train you fancy.

It’s a case of mind over matter.
The FA don’t mind and
Fans don’t matter.

I bet the ref knows what time kick off is!

It’s the FA Cup Final. We don’t get as big an allocation as we do for the semi final but loads of season ticket holders who swerved that match will go to this one. The cheaper tickets will fly off the shelves. The 3 most expensive category tickets only make up a small percentage of our overall allocation so will sell one way or another without getting as far down as purchase history only. IMHO of course.

Nonsense.

Several other semi finals we’ve played in weren’t sold out and yet for the finals we sold them out along with all the extra seats we were given.

Perhaps I need to work on the subtlety of my humour [emoji16]
