Title: FA Cup Final Ticket Allocation Post by: Power to people on Thursday, April 19, 2007, 14:58:46 While I do not like Man U or Chelsea it is wrong that they have both been given 25,000 tickets for the final when Wembley holds 90,000+ I agree that some get given to sponsors and exec box holders but surely 10,000 would be enough thus giving majority of the tickets to normal fan's....even if they are plastics !!
Title: FA Cup Final Ticket Allocation Post by: mattboyslim on Thursday, April 19, 2007, 15:03:32 The FA cup has always seen tons of tickets going to local FAs and the football 'family' to use FA BS. My mate went a few years ago as his dad ran a local youth league in Kent, they haev also said a lot have gone to club wembley members - no idea if this is corporate or just wealth individuals shelling out £10k for a long term ticket.

Title: FA Cup Final Ticket Allocation Post by: Amir on Thursday, April 19, 2007, 16:54:57 It's even more of a joke because a large percentage of the tickets not given to the clubs will end up in their supporters' hands anyway. I've
got a ticket and I'd flog it if I could. |
