131 - 137 are the singing section blocks
I'm an Exec put in 129 and it's also claimed i'm in the SS. Rather unhappy with how Execs have been dumped in the corner, nobody applied more aways than I did so would have been in centre behind goal if I were a standard, did all Euros including Moscow credits

Hey guys! Bit of help please? Have 2 season tickets, but I'd prefer to move somewhere better next year; although was told there is no chance. My mate said if I ring up after the renewal date I have a chance. Does anyone know when this is cheers?
Also my mate and his dad have offered to drive me down and back up from Manchester to London at the weekend. What should I offer him for petrol? Cheers.

I'm on top tier on half way line row 1 but I'd have preferred being behind the goals myself

My £65 ticket seems to be in the top tier for some reason. Bit disappointing.
Have they put you along the side? I've got block 140 which isn't ideal but hopefully at least it'll be standing only.

Heading to Wembley by train for the first time on Saturday, having always used coach travel in previous years. I need a quick getaway if possible as it’s the girlfriends birthday gathering on Saturday night back up north. What’s the best station to head towards to avoid the queuing etc which I’m pretty sure will be horrendous on Wembley Way? I don’t mind driving most of the way down if need be.
Little bump for this, anyone able to help?

Mate is stopping at Gerrards Cross and then getting a train to the ground, I have ever used done this before but he said it's a 15 minute trip and trains are constantly arriving on match day.

Which station at stopping at in Manchester? Looks like the last train is 18:54 which might a problem if we go into extra time.

You should be able to get on at Wembley Park easy enough (might be worth getting an oyster as the queue for that always seems less)

Over to Euston, depending on where North is

Hi guys a quick question. What is the best way for a non-member to go about getting tickets for the FA cup final?

The obvious way that i though of was to consult the various ticket sites online but i noticed that the prices are already above and beyond crazy. The cheapest ticket i could find was something around 427 pounds.

It's my first time trying to go to a final so I'm not sure if that price is normal... but I just wanted to double check on the forum to see if there were any other ways of getting cheaper tickets.
What is the best way for a non-member to go about getting tickets that are not worth a fortune?
Is there no other way for a non-member to go see the final?
Please help a newbie fan out :( pretty please... :(

Hi mate, I usually head to North Wembley. It's a 20 minute walk but your straight on a tube.

It's the stop before Wembley central, so the tubes are empty. Head to Baker Street, then change for Euston Square.

Mate, I'd say those prices are to be expected on ticket broker sites. You'll not get a ticket as a non member for anything remotely cheap that way.

Honestly, your best bet is to get yourself to Wembley and get asking around the pubs. There are always people in large groups of pals who fail to show, or get so pissed up they are incapable of getting in.

United usually get allocated The Torch pub. Get yourself there and ask around for spares from about three hours or so before kick off.

An hour before head around the ground, a 10 minute walk. Wander around the united end of the ground, and see if anyone has any spares.

I did this numerous times before I was a ST holder. I'd say 7/10 games I'd end up with a ticket. The only times I didn't were for Champions League final and a League Cup final and a handful of aways. Otherwise I was sorted, usually for face value.

Otherwise it's touts. You'll pay less to a tout on the day...but you have to be careful about snide tickets. Usually you'll be fine...no touts would want to get name for selling fake tickets, but obviously if you get to the turnstile and it's a fake or a cancelled ticket...you've lost your money.

Good luck pal. Hope it works out.

You've got next to zero chance of a quick getaway using Wembley Park underground station unless you leave way before full time. They only allow a small number of fans into the station at a time, bunching the rest up in groups along Wembley Way.

londonredmaniac's idea sounds a good one, although you will probably have to squeeze onto a packed tube at Baker Street. At least from Wembley Park on the Met line you don't need to change once you get on.

I don't. Called then today and they gave me my tracking number though. I should get mine on Thursday/Friday.
When did you buy yours? I bought mine on Friday and yet to get it.

Hey everyone. I purchased Lite Membership and then won a ticket for the Arsenal game. As far as I understand, there's no paper ticket, it will be loaded onto my card. The problem is that I never received this card. I guess it's because I'm from Ukraine and it got lost somewhere on its way. Is there anything I can do and what's the best way to get to the game in this situation?

Bought mine either Saturday or Friday night, can't remember which one. Checked the tracking details and mine got delivered to my address today.

RIng up the ticketing office, your e-mail should have your membership number in it. Just call them and tell them you misplaced your card and will need to pick the tickets up at the ground on matchday.

Thanks for the replies lads. Will check out the routes, I don't mind driving to Gerrards Cross if that's quickest to be honest. Appreciate a quick getaway is going to be difficult with it being semi final rather than a final with both sets of fans leaving at the same time!

Normal time won't be over until about 7.05...?

Thanks mate! Will def try to get to the pub early on if I can't find cheaper tickets before the game day.

Thanks a bunch!

If you’re driving, I’ve never had a problem parking at Ruislip and getting the tube in and out

I got an extra one for a mate last Friday and hope it has arrived but won't know till I get home from Bournemouth later today. Much better away end last night than I expected, thought there would be empty seats but it was packed, lively and no sign of half n half tourists
