no, the fa are rats, for setting aside 20,000 seats in a brand new stadium for co-orporate big wigs. Their excuse is that it helps them pay for the cost of wembley but fundamentally they could have just used some of the massive tv deal that the premier league is generating to pay for it. The majority of tickets the touts have are club wembley seats.

Anyone tried it with touts last few times? If so, anyone give it like 5/10 minutes after kick off to buy off them, obviously slash their prices but anyone know by how much? I play footie in London, and if all our results go the right way will probably be playing a cup game there semi final morning so will be in the area.

The Man United semi the touts were selling our tickets for a lot more than theres believe it or not, I also know someone who paid 100 for a ticket that turned out to be fake!
 

I got my tickets yesterday.
Anyone have any ideas when these tickets will arrive in the post ?.

Had murder last time when they sent my Wembley tickets to wrong address.

Thanks

The FA don't see any of the TV money because the Premier League is a separate body, you have the FA, the Premier League and the Football League (Championship, L1 and L2).

What they really should have done is find a way to fund a stadium build that wouldn't mean giving about 30% of its capacity away to people who don't care about the match or support either of the teams.

But hey, why use your brain when you can just not give a crap about fans...just brave-face it for 10 years, make up some rubbish about how the national team needs a new football centre. Hell, maybe they could even sit in the posh box with a a pair of giant inflatable middle fingers turned toward each end just to make sure everyone knows they don't give a crap.

I know theyre different entities but they could have pitched it to them. Either way its a farce how coorporate it all is.
