I think that you will find that is for sales between Club Wembley members. I bought tickets in Club Wembley for the Wigan final, but they stopped that when Millwall fans kicked off in Club Wembley when they got to a play-off final.

They stopped an entire policy based on based on Milwall fans kicking off? ffs that sounds like the FA, wouldn't it made more sense to stop the policy for the 1 game involving milwall on the basis that their fans are dicks that could kick off with themselves in a locked room.

I'm season ticket holder low points. (didn't make the points cut off for the LC final). I'm thinking I won't get one.

If that's the case. What do you think is the best way/options for getting a ticket before the game? I can't be arsed standing outside shouting 'tickets anyone got any spares' like a tout like I've done a couple of times before.

League Cup Final went on General Sale, therefore you could have got one

I got one but thought there were not that many left so rushed and got one as soon as my window opened. When you say general sale you mean with previous purchase history?

Didn't realise that.

Was General |Sale with previous history, so basically anyone who has been to the Etihad.

Won’t be the same for the Cup Final though

Its a gamble. In the 2011 final I watched the criteria go to ANYONE on the cup scheme, regardless of points could buy a ticket. I wasn't on it so missed out. Gutted wasn't the word and I haven't made the same mistake.

I was a bit daft really, as I've been to the home FA Cup games plus the semi-final despite coming off the scheme.

My logic was that I wanted to take the family to hospitality as a treat in one of the earlier round games (in the end, we did the Mancunian for the Rotherham game) and didn't want to pay for my usual seat plus another in the hospitality area.

I might be OK for the final as I only need a single ticket, we'll have to see.

No I made it up. Of course they had it, that's why I missed out, as someone with zero points could buy a ticket, while myself with over 40 years supporting us couldn't.

This will make you sick, mate: My mate joined the cup scheme that year for him and his two lads a few days before the Reading Quarter Final. He got tickets easily for both the United and Stoke games, despite not having that many points...

It's a gamble for sure and cost does come into it, although the club does usually keep the cost down at least for the early rounds. You think it was worth it though when we get to a final and can get a ticket. 2011was our first chance of winning a trophy in 35 years so tickets were like gold dust. I have no idea why I didn't join the cup scheme that year but you live and learn.

I know it was a gutter and I think totally unfair but it was what it was.

The 2019 Emirates FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Watford will kick-off at 5pm on Saturday 18 May.

Ticket prices for this year’s Final have been frozen at £45, £70, £115 and £145 and will be available through both Manchester City and Watford.

Each club has been allocated 28,000 tickets, the same number as in the 2017 and 2018 Finals. This represents approximately 80 per cent of the available seating at Wembley.

As well as the ticket split between the two Finalists, approximately 14,000 tickets will be distributed back into the game through the football family, which includes volunteers representing County FAs, FA affiliated leagues, clubs and charities.

Manchester City fans will occupy the east end of Wembley Stadium while Watford fans will be in the west end, determined by the travel requirements of the majority of each club’s supporters and based on the intelligence and advice we receive from both internal and external transport and security stakeholders.

Maybe, just maybe, the Club had a word in the FA's ear to get it brought forward a bit to ease the travel home dilemma. It would be nice to think that someone somewhere is picking up on the complaints and actually trying to do something about it - even if it is only half an hour.
 
And my last train from Paddington leaves at 7:45pm, which at a push is doable if there is no extra time/penalties. But that would be like reading a thrilling book and finding the last page missing. Both FA and rail companies are total t**ts
