I'm not denying it's a rip off. But League Two games cost less than Championship games.  It's not surprising that they don't make an exception for the divisions' respective biggest games. It's supply and demand, people will pay it so they will charge it.

I presume it's also because the prize is greater. It's still nonsense though.

I had the same seat for the semi final that I had for the final in 2015 and paid £20 more for it.

Do we expect tickets to go down to general sale from 5pm Tuesday or sell out before then? If I remember correctly, we had less tickets for the FA Cup Semi and Final, and both went to general sale? I assume our ticket office have detailed purchasing information and wouldn’t state general sale if they didn’t think tickets would be available.

Why do tickets have reissue printed on them?  Also great to keep the ticket as a memento of the occasion  Derby/Fulham  v Aston Villa/Middlesbrough

I thought it was an interesting observation. 20 sheets increase in 3 years is quite steep.

I think Ads means it was £20 more for the Arsenal final than it was for the Liverpool semi final.

Yes that's what I meant. £70ish for the Liverpool game, £90ish for the Arsenal game for the same seat.

The FA Cup Final didn't go to general sale as we only had 25k tickets.
This will make general sale, I said in the other thread I'd expect a few thousand to still be left for general.
