Cheapest seats £40. Most expensive £100.
They really are ripping the supporters off. I wouldn't pay that much for a diddy cup final.

Will our version of the League Cup be a diddy cup if we get to the final? Was it a diddy cup any time we've won it?
I highly doubt any supporter of any English club holds that view, out with gloryhunters who follow the bigger teams from their armchair or the boozer considering the amount of and calibre of sides who are in it.
As for 40 quid, I'd pay ten times that to watch Hibs in a Cup Final.

I'd love it if people did just that and they had to play it in front of sponsors/freeloaders and about 500 morons.
They do it because they can get away with it sadly.

IMO, the tickets are reasonably priced and will be cheaper than most EPL games too.

You always know someone doesn't have a very good argument when they point out a minor error in a post as opposed to producing a sensible counter argument.
Anyway as for the OP £40 for a cup final is, in relative terms, not too bad. £100 is taking the piss but if it was Hibs then I'd gladly pay it and that's why football authorities keep getting away with it.

You must be on different financial planet than most then. This is precisely why people on lower incomes have become excluded from what was supposed to be a working-class game. English prices are ludicrous - this is just another example of why so many people, especially those with kids, can't afford to go.

I have no intention of going. Only support one team and that's obviously the Hibees.
Merely just stating that I think the fans are being fleeced.

I wish I was!
It's a cup final, potentially a Derby. I feel £40-£100 is reasonable considering the venue and magnitude of the game.
The average premiership ticket in England is £40 so for a cup final, the prices IMO are probably about right.

£40 isn't too bad, maybe even £50. But £100. Still think it's mental.

I guess if it turns into an Everton v Liverpool final the tickets will be going for a hell of a lot more than forty quid on the black market. On that note, good luck to the Toffees tonight :greengrin
In general though, when you consider the eye watering TV deal the EPL is about to start the amount some clubs charge the fans is an utter disgrace. I paid £44 to get into Goodison Park at the start of the season and that was for a bog standard stand seat for a bog standard league game against Watford.
I'd pay a ton for a cup final ticket.

Aren't Hampden prices usually slightly cheaper than league games?

No it's because people actually want to go. Unlike the Scottish game which has been brought to its knees by years of mismanagement and kowtowing to the old firm bigots.

I'm sure you would, as would many others... But can you honestly say that's 'reasonable' to watch a football match? On top of tickets prices consider travel, inflated accommodation, food, taking kids etc.
Maybe I'm in the minority? Scandalous in more ways than one.... Every player in that final will be a millionaire, the 1000's of dignitaries who will also attend on 'free' tickets will be extremely wealthy....
Nah, not for me.....
I love my team and love football but that makes me sick....
Suppose it also depends on how many 40 quid tickets there are available.
After seeing the thread I thought the cheapest was going to be a good bit more than that.

I go to watch Barcelona when I can afford it. For this weekend's game against Atlético prices range from 64€ for the cheapest seats away up behind the goals by the scoreboard to 995€ for the top priced prawn tapas seat.
Oh, and there are no concessions for kids etc

Forty quid is for the top tier as the worst view then the price goes up the closer you get to the pitch. £40 isn't to bad. £100 for bottom tier side stand tickets is a joke.

When I saw the thread title, I opened it expecting to read of prices way exceeding the £40-£100 quoted. Those prices are pretty much what I would expect for such a game. Folk were paying around £100 to go and see U2 in Glasgow recently with most appearing to feel that represented value for what was on offer. Ticket for The Open is £80, Six Nations about £60-£70.

Been in the top tier at wembley a few times and never had a bad view of the pitch. £40 is well worth it. Esp if its Liverpool v Everton.
As others have said, I'd cladly pay £100 to watch us in a cup final if it was the only way of getting a ticket.

I was in the away end at the Ethiad for City v Barça. £60 for me and £60 for my bairn....
Anyhow, back to the original point from the OP - I don't think the cup final tickets are excessive.
As someone posted earlier (Scouse I think) a quiet night out with the wife (transport, meal, movie perhaps and a couple of drinks would be £100+). You either think it's value for money out not and vote with your wallet accordingly.
Would I be in favour of, or indeed able to afford Hibs charging these prices on a regular basis? Naw.
But it's no Hibs v some second tier team we're talking about - it's a cup final at Wembley FFS

Been to two Champions League Finals and paid £300 each for a ticket (Cat 1) and worth every penny. I am watching football at arguably the highest level in the word and guys who are the best in the world (Messi, Neymar, Pirrlo etc.) and was a pleasure to see them live. Off to the Euro 2016 final in July and paid £250 for ticket, that was face value.
I know I am lucky that I can afford it but I don't mind paying that if I am seeing the world's best in the biggest games.

:agree: been up in the rafters a few times at Wembley but never had a crap view. Sat on half line in the middle section and it was not cheap but cracking view and no queues for booze, food or toilets that upper and lower stands have. Very well built modern stadium.
Shame it is in such a ****hole and a ballache to get there!

I had a pair of tickets for the UEFA cup final in 2008 I think it was, the one held in Manchester...the one the manky mob got to!
I ended up giving them to two of my bigoted mates. They promptly sent me selfies with the guy sitting next to them...Frank Lampard lol.

There is yes... Remember we would approach it in different directions! Can be a pain in the arse from the south of London. Getting home is also a bugger. Still, think it is wonderful, the walk up the Wembley way is brilliant.

As opposed to paying £150-£200 to watch the boxing next month in Manchester? I'd certainly rather pay £100 to watch a cup final which may last 2 hours plus, than £150-£200 to watch a fight that may last 10/20/30 seconds

I have a load of friends who do England away but have to buy tickets to home games as well. They are guaranteed tickets for the duration of the euros.
They routinely offer me free tickets to Wembley... If I scan the other 18 tickets!
