"The event returns to Wembley after the stadium was rebuilt and tickets will be £35, £60, £80 and £95"
"It was important to set ticket prices at a sensible and affordable evel," said FA chief executive Brian Barwick.
Sensible and affordable for who exaclty? Roman fucking Abramovic!! £95 is a disgrace, FA trying to re-coup as much money as possible to pay for the new Wembley, ripping off the fans in the process.
About time someone did something about this, is getting silly now

I dont see a problem with these prices. Its not like they are all high, so can choose the lower price if you'd like.

Not all fans have got the cash though have they.
I'd be guessing at 95+% of football are working class people, earning an average wage of say around 17K per year. If it were me going no way could I justify spending £60-£90 on a ticket when i've got a morgage, bills etc to pay. What about if you wanna take the family, could cost you up to £360 for 4 people 
Football is losing roots, and its pissing me right off

but that is a pure guess backed up by NO DATA at all.
Chelsea's cheapest tickets are very expensive, Utd have a range of tickets going upto to being very expensive aswell. Both have a massive fan base. Therefore those sort of prices arent too bad.
So both clubs have proved that thier fans WILL pay this, so whay wouldnt they charge that price?!!

Chelsea fans didn't seem to want to pay that price for the Semi-Finals did they? If they have such a big fan base, then they would have sold out regardless off price, but they didn't Drop the tickets prices for the semi's and i'm betting it would have sold out easilly.

they sell out a 40k+ crowd week in week out when tickets start at more than £35 and go on to well well above that

£95 is a bit expensive imo
