This years FA Cup Final is being contested by two teams in blue, namely Everton and Chelsea. Everton are one of the oldest names in world football and are founder members of the football league (1888) and the Premiership (1992), while Chelsea have recently come into prominence thanks to the billions of a Russian owner. With two very popular clubs, comes the problem of finding tickets for the FA Cup final. The Football Association (FA) allocate quite a small number of tickets for each club to sell to their supporters. Wembley, the stadium where the final is to be held, seats some 90,000 people, and you would expect the vast majority of the crowd to be either Everton or Chelsea supporters.

Not so, with both clubs receiving just 25,000 tickets each, meaning the remaining 40,000 tickets being offered to outside sources, and eventually the dreaded ticket tout! Both Everton and Chelsea have complained to the FA about their meagre allocations, but it will not change anything. So, basically, unless you are a season ticket holder of either Chelsea or Everton, you stand very little chance of getting a ticket from either official source. You must look elsewhere. And even season ticket holders are not guaranteed a ticket as there are more season ticket holders than the allocated ticket allowance. More than likely, it will go to a ballot to see who can claim their ticket.

This is the tricky part, as there are so many touts and bogus websites claiming to sell tickets that more often than not, do not actually have the official FA Cup final tickets to sell. So those of us who want tickets for the FA Cup final must be careful and seek official, reputable ticket companies that do sell exactly what they promise.

To this end, I have scoured the internet and researched many ticket selling companies and have found one that does sell legitimate tickets for the FA Cup Final. I did a lot of searching on the credibility of the company and found that they have been around for a good 25 years and have an excellent reputation. I even emailed them to seek reassurance that their tickets are legitimate and they replied to the positive.

So, the choice is yours. How much do you want to see your team play in the FA Cup final? If you can't get your ticket via your club, the options are:

1. You search for tickets yourself online and hope to god that the company you are buying from is reputable

2. You could seek out a ticket tout, but possibly end up with a dud ticket and £500 plus disappearing forever

3. You could follow the link below and purchase from the company I mentioned above. You can also do your own research on them and contact them like I did for extra piece of mind.

4. Or don't bother going at all, and watch it on tv. You'll miss the atmosphere at the most famous stadium in the world and perhaps history in the making, so really the question is what price do you put on that?
