Arsenal chief executive aggrieved at FA Cup Final ticket allocation

Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis is disappointed at the number of tickets that both Arsenal and Hull City have been allocated for the FA Cup final. The Gunners received 49,000 tickets for Saturday's semi-final at Wembley Stadium after Wigan returned some of their allocation, but will receive 25,000 for the final against Hull City on Saturday, May 17.

Gazidis said: "We are disappointed many of our supporters and also those of Hull City will be unable to get tickets to the cup final.

"We fully understand this is the showpiece FA fixture to celebrate the game as a whole, but we also believe the loyal supporters of the competing teams deserve a greater chance to see their team play in what is one of the biggest matches of the season. The balance in the FA's allocation system is not right."

For the third year running prices will remain the same. Tickets will be sold via the two clubs and will be available at £45, £65, £85 and £115.
