FA Cup final ticket allocations and prices: 2025 FA Cup final details

On Saturday, 17 May, the FA Cup final will be contested at Wembley Stadium between Manchester City and Crystal Palace. It is the third season in a row that the Cityzens have made it to the showpiece event, while it's the second time in a decade for the Eagles.

The match is expected to be a sell-out, but how many fans in attendance at the national stadium will be supporters of the two clubs involved? FA Cup final ticket allocations have been a point of contention for many years now, with the majority of fans believing that nowhere near enough tickets are given to supporters of the competing clubs.

In some finals over the past 20 years, true football supporters have taken up not even 50% of the stadium.

With that in mind, what is the allocation for the 2025 final? Let's find out

FA Cup final ticket allocations: How many seats will the two competing teams get

Both Manchester City and Crystal Palace have been allocated 30,786 tickets each for the FA Cup final, which is a slight increase on what the two finalists received last year, where Man City and Man Utd were given 30,000 tickets each.

The allocations this year mean that around 67% of Wembley Stadium will be filled by loyal supporters of both clubs, provided they both sell all of their tickets.

How much are tickets for the FA Cup final?

Although the ticket allocations for both competing clubs have increased for the 2025 final, the ticket prices have also gone up. The most expensive tickets have gone up by 20%, while the cheapest tickets have gone up by 11%. The full ticket prices are as follows.

Adults

  • Premium level two: £285
  • Level two: £255
  • Category 1: £175
  • Category 2: £125
  • Category 3: £75
  • Category 4: £50

  • Category 1: £165
  • Category 2: £115

These ticket prices are more than 10% more, on average, compared to the ones used for the 2023 final, a hike that certainly feels excessive.

How many tickets will go to Corporate Hospitality?

This number is never usually officially announced, but it can be calculated by process of elimination. Given that around 61,500 tickets are being given to the fans of both competing clubs, roughly 28,500 tickets will be given to sponsors and corporate guests.

These tickets can already be purchased now. Fans can purchase Club Wembley packages, which grants them access to all sporting events at Wembley over the next 12 months.
