Tommeh Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Prices: £93 £78.30 £58.65 £34.30 Each team recieves 25,000 allocation each, meaning in a 90,000 seater stadium 40,000 are going to sponsors, corporates and let's face it complete ******. And tickets for the bottom bracket are only numbered at about 4,000 each team and are situated up in the Gods. If Bin laden wants to bomb Wembley soon he'd probably be doing English football a favour.
Joe. Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 £93 to watch a football match? I don't care how close they are to the pitch, that's just taking the ultimate piss. Fuck off F.A once again.
Simi Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 ****ing outrageous. Way to bend over the Everton fans that are dying to see their team at Wembley. Angers me that they get away with it, but if people pay it, then there we go.

If Bin laden wants to bomb Wembley soon he'd probably be doing English football a favour. Seriously though it is ridiculous. I always remembered the days when we went for the coca cola cup, seeing a split divide of colours by the two halves of the stadiums. You'll see more suits there now.
dandannieldanok Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Not surprised at the prices, demand is so high that they can get away with it easily. I'm more disgusted at the fact that only 50,000 proper fans will be there.
Guest Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 I'm actually glad we have no chance of making the cup final. Not if that's how the fans are rewarded for following their team all season.

Tommeh Posted 23 April 2009 Author Posted 23 April 2009 I'm actually glad we have no chance of making the cup final. Not if that's how the fans are rewarded for following their team all season. To be Honest if we did manage to fluke our way to a cup final assuming we'd be up against one of the "HOLY 4" That would be a place back in Europe secured. Going abroad with Leicester is by far and away the main reason I crave success for us. Not to pay £100 odd in admission alone to get strange looks off people for doing things I do at games week in week out. Stand, Bounce, sing etc.
maddog Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 25000 each 40000 each i would agree with with 10000 non fans. I may Stretch to 35000 each, 20000 non fans. But 40000 come on! When we get to the fa cup final in the next season or 3 we better have much cheaper tickets and much more seats
Hitesh Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 WTF!!!! The FA have lost the plot! 40,000!!! fooking ridiculous...an utter joke! Makes a mockery of English football!
lcfc_jme Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 at the outrage in this thread. The FA back to doing what they do best - looking after number 1 and shafting decent people and what used to be the game's lifeblood - the fans. To be honest I just now find this sort of thing funny and laughable. No point in being angry about it anymore, it'll continue to happen for years to come regardless. May even see the allocations cut by an extra 5,000 or so within a few years when they see the sort of revenue the suits will bring in/ It's just blatantly obvious somebody will turn up in a Liverpool or Man Utd shirt as well, that'd cap it all for me. The sooner the FA decide to **** off and take their disabled-bowl of a national stadium, the better for all real football fans.
davieG Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 I don't know what the fuss over ticket prices is about, after all it is their Cup Final. Leeds would pay ten times that and need ten times more tickets than Wembley could provide and would have been there if they'd had Grayson at the start of the season
C-man Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Meh, prices as expected really. Touts are looking for upwards of a grand for this! Personally, I'd sell my car to see Leicester in the FA Cup final. Or play anywhere in European competition actually. The allocations are the worst bit of all this. What has happened to English football

Not to pay £100 odd in admission alone to get strange looks off people for doing things I do at games week in week out. Stand, Bounce, sing etc. I know what you mean. As a kid, we used to have the European games on the TV, the English fans in a little corner, the commentators used to commentate down a phone line back then, making it seem even more hardcore!! I used to watch them and say I wanted to see Leicester abroad. My dad would just laugh. Going abroad with Leicester is one of the best experiences I've had watching this team. They should bring back the Anglo-Italian cup!

Or play anywhere in European competition actually. The allocations are the worst bit of all this. What has happened to English football Sky TV and the new Wembley, perhaps? But yeah, as much as I'm disgusted by the new Wembley and the FA in general, I'd love for us to get to a major cup final and earn a European spot that way (if that's still the case?). I'd pay whatever was required to go and watch us in some remote Eastern European country. That'd be ****ing mental.
Koke Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 The FA still have to pay off hundreds of millions for Wembley, so who are they gonna cater for, the sponsors & cooperates who are willing to pay big bucks for seats or the average fan? It's simple economics.

What has happened to English football The allocations have always been shit - why are people surprised. I don't know if it's still the case but ever County Football Association and every affiliated club used to be able to claim Cup final tickets it was always a small percentage of 'real fans' there.
C-man Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 I wonder if some terrorist group could fund blowing up every single satellite station in space connected to Skysports, and if theres any left, 25 Soho Square would be nice

Yes, but 40,000 non-fans is simply dreadful.

It's simple economics. That's not the point though is it. Do you accept that it's ok to only offer about half of each teams average home attendance tickets?
Koke Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 That's not the point though is it.Do you accept that it's ok to only offer about half of each teams average home attendance tickets? I know. I actually agree with you, it's ridiculous that each have only 25.000 tickets, but I was just trying to point out why the FA are doing it. I don't agree with them at all.
