Carabao Cup Final plans

[Mike Brock]

We’re booked in there but I spoke to the landlord and he said few Chelsea fans going in so put me off abit but if there’s few blues in it’ll be fine

I presumed it would be too far for Chelsea fans. Ah well, should be sound

Just make sure you only use one card all day. I think it is useable on machines to buy tickets, rather than just on the gates (I'm thinking here that you'd need multiple tickets).

Using a contactless appears (can't guarantee it!) to be cheaper than a day travelcard might be. May depend on how old your kids are.

As far as I can tell, a contactless cap should be £10.10. An adult all day ticket from central London to Wembley is £13.10 (may not be accurate)

Children aged 5-10 travel free on Tube, DLR, London Overground and TfL Rail services if:

• hey have a 5-10 Zip Oyster photocard, or
• Travelling with an adult who is using pay as you go, or has a valid ticket (excluding Group Day Travelcards), a Freedom Pass or an Oyster photocard (up to four children per adult)

Yep, this is correct, just use your contactless debit/credit card (the same one all day). You don't need to buy a ticket.
Simply tap in & out on the yellow card reader at each station entry & exit -

You are charged for each journey up to max £10.10/day (weekends) - Zones 1-4 (includes Wembley)

Edit: Kids over 5 need a ticket AFAIK, but it's free

The Globe opposite Baker St tube is a long-standing Chelsea pub, probably better avoiding that area pre- and post-match, assuming the Met don't close those pubs anyway, which they did after the Sunderland final for some strange reason.

Chelsea semi-final pub next door to Baker St tube was ok,but spot on the Globe over road 100% Chelsea.

Can I use the same contactless card twice on the same journey ie to pay for me and my son or is that cheating the system?
