Does anyone know whether Arsenal received an extra allocation? Just been on their ticket page and it states that they received 32,200 tickets so it looks like they didn't and officially there will be nearly 2000 more City fans at the game than Arsenal. I say officially as I'm sure they'll be in the majority in the Club Wembley section
I don't think that's exactly how it works. Each club get more or less the same amount of seats in tiers 1 and 5 (maybe 36,000ish) but some of those tickets go out to clubs, sponsors etc. If they aren't taken up then they go back to the club to sell, but they were always within the club's allocation (if that makes sense). Stoke got a couple of thousand back I this way for the Cup Final against them, but it didn't mean there were more Stoke fans in the ground, it meant that these tickets were sold by the club rather than by "partners".
