Following our FA Cup Semi Final win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, we are delighted to confirm that we will be playing against Chelsea in the Final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 19th May (KO Time TBC).
Applications for the game will open at 8am Tuesday 24th April, and will close at 8am on Friday 27th April (although pricing will not be confirmed until later in the day). The ballot will begin immediately after applications close and is expected to take up to 72 hours to complete.
As we anticipate high demand, applications will only be accepted from Season Ticket holders that have purchased all 7 home cup games; we will then prioritise the ballot in order of those Season Ticket holders that have applied for the most away games in the 2017/18 season. Please therefore consider this before entering the ballot with supporters who have applied for less domestic away games than you, as your application will be based on the number of away games they have applied for.
Singing Section
Further to the supporter-led 'singing section' during the Semi-Final against Tottenham Hotspur, we have again decided to support this initiative to encourage vocal fans to come together and create more of an atmosphere. With this in mind, there will be an additional option in the application process for this game (in the price preferences section), where you can indicate if you would like to be seated in a more vocal / singing area. Please note, as we do not have the allocation or ticket pricing at this stage, we're unable to confirm the location or ticket price for this section.
Family Areas
We will also again be providing designated 'family areas', to enable younger and older supporters to sit in the most suitable seats. With this in mind, there will be further additional options in the application process for this game (in the price preferences section), where you can indicate if you would like to be seated in a 'family area'.
As with all ballots, we anticipate being oversubscribed. If your preferences are not available, we will still try to find you the best available alternative seat/s (which may be a different price), rather than your application automatically being made unsuccessful.
Please note, tickets are not allocated based on when the ballot application was submitted, therefore all supporters will have an equal chance of receiving a ticket in the ballot regardless of whether the application was made at 8am on Tuesday 24th April or 7.59am on Friday 27th April.
Thank you for your support and let's hope for success in our Emirates FA Cup campaign as we head into the Final.
