90,000 at Wembley for the showpiece of the English domestic season. Allocation is overwhelmingly split between the two finalist clubs, with the remainder going to the FA's own member and partner network — which is why the ticket problem here is completely different from every other event on this site.
Read this part carefully, because it is the law rather than our opinion. Reselling tickets for designated football matches in England and Wales is a criminal offence under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. That covers the FA Cup Final. There is no legitimate resale market for this ticket, and the listings you will find on secondary sites carry a real risk of being cancelled at the turnstile as well as exposing the seller to prosecution. The only routes in are your club's ballot if your team reaches the final, the FA's official channels, and official hospitality packages sold by Wembley itself.
Which part of London you sleep in moves the total more than the seat usually does, and the cheap bed an hour out stops being cheap on the day. The tiers below are what actually works for this building.
Both face the stadium across the plaza. Painless for late finishes; rates jump on final and NFL weekends — book early.
Reliable budget bed five minutes from the arch.
Anywhere near the Jubilee (Waterloo, Southwark, Baker Street via change) is a one-seat ride in — do the tourist weekend and commute to the match.
Cup final day is a full day out — get to Wembley Park early, walk down Olympic Way while it is still filling up, and do not drive under any circumstances.
The same maths runs a lot further than you would expect. A Grand Prix in Las Vegas, a Sunday at the Raiders or WrestleMania weekend costs less than most people assume once the flight is the only unusual line — and we have costed all of them, flights and ESTA included, from real trips rather than research.
