    Ok, I've been to a few premiership matches as a kid who lived in England, but i never had to get any tickets myself, huzzah for parents...

    So what's the deal with the FA Cup Final? Would it be hard to get tickets? Where could i get tickets? When would they be on sale? etc etc

    I would imagine it would be hard enough trying to get a ticket for the final as both teams will take their allocation, which will prob be limited as there are so many corparate and sponsership companies that get tickets as well

    The FA had this to say about 2004's final:
    The Football Association aims to make as many tickets as possible available to supporters of the two competing teams, whilst ensuring that all clubs that have taken part in the competition and people involved with running football at all levels have the opportunity to share in football's showpiece event.

    In order to ensure that the tickets allocated to the competing club are distributed fairly, the finalists will take responsibility for selling tickets directly to their own fans.

    As well as the tickets for the two competing clubs, The FA makes an allocation available to the Football Family. The football family consists of the clubs participating in this year's FA Cup competition, affiliated associations representing football at all levels, sponsors and the media.

    The allocation that is given to the County Associations rewards the people that support grassroots throughout the year such as junior team managers and referees without whom football at that level would not exist.

    Only small number of tickets are made available to corporate hospitality to which the money generated from this service is put back into grassroots football. For further details call 0208 795 9770

    The Football Association does not directly allocate tickets to supporters; therefore we direct you to the two competing clubs.

    Tickets for the FA cup final never go on general sale, always like gold dust trying to get your hands on one.
    The allocation received by each club is never enough for their own fans, add in all the corporate seats and sponsors seats, they become very very scarce.
    Even for Man United V Millwall a few years ago it was impossible to get your hands on one.The clubs in the final normally offer their share first to the fans who have travelled to away games and then onto season ticket holders

    For Wembley, with a 90,000 capacity, the allocation would be something like 25,000 to each set of fans and 40,000 split every team to play in the tournament, corporate sponsors, friends of people who work for the FA etc etc.

    League cup final tickets will be a lot easier for a fan to get hold of.
