The Football Association believes it has set prices at a "sensible" level for the FA Cup final between Manchester United and Chelsea on 19 May.

 

The event returns to Wembley after the stadium was rebuilt and tickets will be £35, £60, £80 and £95, with a limited number at £17.50 for under-16s.

 

"It was important to set ticket prices at a sensible and affordable level," said FA chief executive Brian Barwick. "We believe these are very competitive for what will be a historic match."

How much were they last year?

 

I can't remember. I think I paid either 45 or 55 quid but I'm not sure.

We have received an allocation of 24436 tickets. The tickets are priced at £90, £65, £50 and £25. The percentage split on the allocation is as follows:-

£90-22%, £65-58%, £50-9%, £25-11%.

It's the "competitive" bit that makes me laugh. What other cup final is it competing with exactly?
