FA Cup final tickets for Man City vs Chelsea have gone on sale early for Wembley

Manchester City and Chelsea fans can now book official match tickets for the final before the clubs’ official allocation goes on sale

Manchester City have made history by booking their place in the FA Cup final. Pep Guardiola’s side will travel to Wembley to face Chelsea on Saturday, May 16, and fans can already book tickets for the game here.

Late goals from Jeremy Doku and Nico Gonzalez in the semi-final cancelled out a stunning opener from Southampton’s Finn Azaz, sending City to a record-breaking fourth straight final. They will face a Chelsea side led by interim manager Calum McFarlane, who guided his side to a 1-0 over Leeds United on Sunday.

Each club will sell their respective ticket allocation, with City confirming details will be announced ‘in due course’. However, there’s a way for Man City and Chelsea fans to get official matchday tickets ahead of general sale by booking a VIP and hospitality package through Seat Unique.

While they may be more pricey than regular tickets, they also include a host of extra benefits including premium seating and complimentary food and drink. Prices start at £590 per person for the Taphouse Social – Man City End packageproviding ‘luxurious’ padded seating on level two of Wembley’s West Stand.

Fans will also also have access to the Taphouse Bar and Diner from three hours before kick off to one hour after the final whistle. This unreserved hospitality area features a range of food and drink outlets including a large bar with 48 taps serving beers, wine, cocktails, spirits and soft drinks.

A caveat is that food and drink is not included in this package and must be purchased on the day, which also applies to the equivalent Taphouse Social – Chelsea End package. Both options also include a complimentary matchday programme.

Seat Unique offers hospitality packages for Manchester City’s FA Cup final clash with Chelseaincluding ‘premium’ seats at Wembley and complimentary food and drink.

Prices shoot up for the other VIP options, with the Bobby Moore Club – Block 101/144 package costing £2,575 per person, but for this extra cost fans get stellar seats on the halfway line, close to the dugout and trophy route. It also includes a seat at a shared table in the exclusive Bobby Moore Lounge – said to be one of Wembley’s ‘finest’ hospitality lounges – from three hours before kick-off and an hour after the game.

Here, guests are served ‘unlimited’ Laurent Perrier champagne, canapés on arrival and a four-course meal, while a complimentary bar offers fine wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks. Keep in mind that the Bobby Moore Lounge is a neutral area, so Chelsea fans are likely to be in attendance too.

Fans preferring privacy at the game can book a Private Box for eight to 12 people from £2,229 to £2,499 per person, with both options including padded seating directly outside of Wembley’s level three or four. They also provide a dedicated chef and host on hand to serve a pre-match meal and complimentary beer, wine and soft drinks.

Each box also features a 42” flat-screen TV showing pre-game coverage, with each guest receiving a complimentary matchday programme. Alternatively, fans are advised to check the Man City website or official app for details of regular tickets, which will likely be available to season ticket holders and club members in the first instance.

For those watching from home, the FA Cup final will be shown live on BBC One and TNT Sports from a 3pm kick-off. The latter is now available in its new home of HBO Max, or Prime Video’s TNT Sports channel.
