At a meeting held today with FA Cup finalists Chelsea and Manchester United, it was agreed that The FA will provide each club with an allocation of approximately 25,000 tickets for the game at Wembley on 19 May.

These allocations represent an increase of 1,500 per club on the 2006 Final. Aside from seats for members of Club Wembley, 70% of the remaining tickets will be provided to the two clubs to distribute.

The remaining 30% of tickets have been allocated to people involved in the grassroots of football and the football family. These 23,000 tickets will go to the 92 Premier League and Football League clubs, the 134 Full Member clubs, other clubs who reached the Third Round of this season's competition, charities, the Football Foundation, Premier League, Football League, Football Conference, PFA, International Associations, FIFA, UEFA and County Football Associations.

An FA spokesman said: "The FA Cup Final is a unique sporting event. This year the demand for tickets will be greater than ever due to it being the first Cup Final back at Wembley.

"It is undoubtedly the biggest domestic cup final in the world and as such it belongs to the whole country as well as the two competing teams and their supporters.

"It is also an occasion to reward the thousands of individuals who give up their time and energy to football, without whom the grassroots game would not function."





So, each club gets an extra 1500 tickets up on last year, despite the 20,000 capacity increase?:nono:
