FA Cup Final - Pre-Match Thread

[Bernie]

I've just been browsing some of the sites that purport to offer Final tickets, one of them on the face of it advertised at £350, then you go in further and see that "fees" are £120/£130 odd. And that was the cheapest I found today.
I think I'll sit tight for a while.

I've just read that we are wearing our home kit for the final.

Gotta feel for Clark missing out on the final.

I was planning to use the 'replica shirt for a tenner' vouchers to get the away kit with his name on the back, I definitely will be now!

I'd rather be singing a song in honour of our own birthday boy and completely ignoring the self indulgent one.

Is that an offer of retro shirt it s t holders or from buying match tickets ?

What I don't get about the kick-off time depending on TV is that the season will be finished by then anyway so there are no others games it will be clashing with I don't think.

It should always be 3 O'Clock kick off for me.

The kick off time is also meant to cater for our european neighbours I believe. You're right, it should always be 3pm.

We stay in the west and in claret and blue!


From FA website…


The 2015 FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium will kick-off at 5.30pm on Saturday 30 May, with both clubs receiving allocations of 25,000 tickets.

It’s anticipated that a high percentage of Aston Villa supporters will be travelling into London via Wembley Stadium Station so the club will keep the West end of the stadium, their home for the 2-1 Semi-Final win over Liverpool last Sunday.

Arsenal fans will be situated in the East section of the stadium and their team will wear their away kit of yellow and blue, after Villa won the coin toss to wear their home colours of claret and blue.

Both BBC One and BT Sport 1 will broadcast The FA Cup Final live, while tickets across four different prices will be sold by both clubs - £50, £70, £90 and £120.

As well as the 50,000 ticket split between the two finalists, approximately 20,000 tickets will be distributed to volunteers through the football family which includes counties, leagues, local clubs and charities.

Football family tickets will also include the 92 Premier League and Football League clubs, plus another 134 Full Member clubs and all clubs that have reached the Third Round Proper of this season’s competition.

As The FA Cup Final is part of the Club Wembley membership package, 17,000 tickets will be used by Club Wembley members.
