This is quite interesting, may start to make people think twice about buying loads of tickets and selling them on ebay in the future.

Well i kinda disagree, its a bit hypocritical isnt it...The FA saying "people shouldnt have to pay over the odds for match tickets for the FA Cup Final at wembely." BUT its ok for wembely to charge way over the odds for a fucking burger.

I've always said..if poeople are so stupid they would pay that much for a tickets or for anything for that matter than use it to your advantage.

They have their uses.

When you're stuck for a ticket, you can get one.

I don't mind paying over the odds as long as i get to see my team in a big match.

A lot of the time, the reason you cant get tickets is because touts are buying in bulk to re-sell. If Swindon were in the cup final i would pay over the odds to be there, doesnt mean im happy about it. Touts ruin things for everyone else in my opinion. The proper fans miss out because of them.

If there was more tickets available to real fans there would be less need to buy off ticket touts.

The FA need to get their priorities straight!
