FA Cup Final tickets are always like gold dust to fans from participating clubs. This year’s showpiece takes place on May 25, and it will bring the curtain down on another fantastic domestic season.
Wembley Stadium, the ‘Home of Football,’ will, as usual, host the final, and even with a 90,000 seat capacity – the biggest stadium in the country – there are likely to still not be enough seats to go round.
Such is the lure of the world’s oldest cup competition too, that it still hasn’t lost any of its shine.
Only three finals have ended goalless; the 1911 final between Bradford City and Newcastle United, the 2005 final between Arsenal and Manchester United, and the 2022 final between Liverpool and Chelsea.
With plenty to do outside the ground, supporters can make a day of it.
As WembleyPark.com note, there are many restaurants to eat at, a designer outlet to buy the latest fashions, fun to be had at the likes of BOXPARK or Pop Golf – to help ease the pre-match tension – and much more.
Which teams will play in the 2024 FA Cup Final?
Manchester City and Manchester United have made it to a second FA Cup Final in a row, which is the first time since the 1884 and 1885 seasons that the feat has been achieved.
On those occasions, towards the end of the century before last, Blackburn Rovers and Queen’s Park contested the finals.
Pep Guardiola’s side are in great form and are one of the favourites for the Premier League title again this season.
Man United on the other hand are playing as if wading through treacle at the moment and all is seemingly not well at Old Trafford.
Recently, Alejandro Garnacho liked some tweets that criticised manager Erik ten Hag in the wake of a draw at Bournemouth, and the Red Devils almost squandered a three-goal lead in their semi-final against Coventry, eventually getting to the final via a penalty shoot-out.
Where to buy FA Cup Final tickets
Given that it remains the favourite cup competition for many, getting tickets for the FA Cup Final is often difficult.
Man City supporters should go to their official club website in the first instance for ticket information, and the Man United website will also be the first port of call for Red Devils fans.
Both clubs are likely to apply various criteria to the purchase of an FA Cup Final ticket, be that via a loyalty scheme set up by the club, ballot or otherwise – to be decided.
Members of Club Wembley will automatically qualify for a ticket for the 2024 FA Cup Final.
The Football Association website will have information about ticketing but will not actually sell tickets.
Sponsors may offer FA Cup Final tickets as competition prizes too, however, to guarantee that you’re at Wembley for the match, Live Football Tickets will have FA Cup Final tickets in all areas of Wembley Stadium.
How much are FA Cup Final tickets?
Prices for tickets to the 2024 FA Cup Final have yet to be released by the Football Association, however, for the Manchester derby final in 2023, ticket prices started at £70 for Category 3 and went up to £144 for Category 1. A special ‘Level 2’ ticket was also available at £250.
With tickets to the FA Cup Final notoriously difficult to get hold of, the resale market prices will therefore be expensive.
As a rough guide for this season, semi-final tickets sold by Live Football Tickets for both the Man City vs Chelsea and Coventry vs Man United games ranged from £65 for Category 3 up to £2,250 for VVIP.
