How to get tickets to the FA Cup Final 2023
Getting tickets to the FA Cup final is always a tricky affair as the majority of seats will go to fans or season ticket holders of the finalist clubs. To get them at face value, you often have to be considered a loyal fan and have proof that you’ve attended most of the matches for that season. There will also be lotteries and competitions nearer the final date, but of course these can be very unpredictable.
If you don’t fit this criteria, we would recommend taking a look at the resale site Livefootballtickets.com, which has a 4.6 star rating from Trustpilot. It’s offering a range of seating options with prices starting from £725 – we realise tickets aren’t cheap.
If you have the budget, you can also consider hospitality options from Club Wembley which will often include prime seating, access to bars and restaurants and even the chance to meet legendary football players. Prices for hospitality start £2,466 and go up as high as £37,200.
