🏆 FA Cup Final Ticket Ballot Now Open

The annual draw for Trust Members to win the right to purchase tickets for this year’s Emirates FA Cup Final is now open!

A slightly delayed announcement

This announcement has once again been slightly delayed due to uncertainty around both the kick-off time and ticket details. The timetable is particularly tight this year, with the final again brought forward from its traditional end-of-season slot while the final Premier League fixtures are still being played.

📅 Match details

• Date: Saturday, 16 May

• Kick-off: 15:00

Ticket allocation

We are still awaiting final confirmation of our allocation, but we expect to receive:

• At least one pair in the Manchester City end

• Two pairs in the Chelsea end

All tickets must be purchased as pairs.

Tickets are usually Category 1 seats — among the best in the stadium — and are expected to be priced at £175 each (£350 per pair), the same as last year.

Why does the Trust receive tickets?

As a member club of The Football Association, Exeter City FC automatically receives an allocation of FA Cup Final tickets.

While many clubs distribute these internally, we are proud to continue our tradition of sharing the allocation between the Club and the Supporters’ Trust.

Important conditions

Please read carefully:

• The match may go to extra time and penalties, so plan travel accordingly.

• You may only wear appropriate colours for the area you sit in, or neutral clothing.

  • No colours from other teams (including Exeter City) are allowed.

• If successful:

  • You must use one ticket yourself.

  • You may bring a guest, but you cannot charge them for the second ticket.

  • You must sign a disclaimer/contract confirming these conditions.

• You must choose ONE team area only when entering (Chelsea or Manchester City).
