My best advice for you is to come to the gates just before the game:
there are always season tickets owners who try to (re)sell their sit
for that particular match, as well as people who got a ticket and
(re)sell it (scalpers). The price is usually higher than what you
would have paid in the first place, had you managed to buy it
normally, and there are also some dodgy people who scalp, but this is
a good chance to get a ticket.

There are always tickets available at a price.

Sometimes, they're advertised in the Press and there are also Agencies
that do the works.

But, do be careful, there's always a risk of buying a forgery: the
ticket may fool you but will it also fool the man on the gate?

I suggest that a reputable Agency should be the safest route even if
it might be more expensive.

Here's one on-line source ...

http://www.ticket-finders.com/premier_league_tickets.htm

Please note that I know NOTHING about them so, if you buy, you are
buying at your own risk.

However, the prices (£710 to £865) would certainly put me off - even
if I'd wanted to go in the first place.

Now, if two good teams (Oldham Athletic v almost anybody) had been
playing then that would have been a different story.

Why don't you just watch it on the telly, for free?

Hi

One answer is to order from outside the UK. Generally foreign ticket
requests - especially from the USA, will take priority over UK orders.
This is especially true in World Cup games.

A friend of my in Oregon gets any ticket to any World Cup match as the
number of tickets taken up by the USA is well below what they are
allocated.

Hi, Albanaich10 ...

The question concerns the FA Cup Final which is FAR MORE IMPORTANT
than any World Cup Match ...

And I seriously doubt if any country outside the UK gets any ticket
allocation for such an important game.

Of course, I could be completely wrong.

Hi

My friend in the US happens to be a Celtic supporter and gets tickets
to Old Firm matches, (which are far more important than the FA Cup)
and could not hope to get in Scotland by booking from the US.

Try it and see. There's nothing to lose.

Hi, Again, Albanaich10

I've never heard of this club 'Celtic' that you refer to.

I suspect that it's an Irish Hurling Club.

Which would explain a lot.

Warmest regards

thank you for trying but I feel that I will ask a friend who is a Millwall
supporter to apply for an extra ticket and perhaps go with him, I would be
in the wrong end but what else can one do???

Hi, Abbsal

Getting a ticket through a Millwall supporter is certainly worth a
shot but my guess is that there will be a huge demand from the
Millwall fans, so you may not be lucky.

However, if you are really determined and you are prepared to pay a
silly price if necessary then you will certainly get in.

Do let us know how you get on.

And the Very Best of Luck!
