At present each club is given around 25,000 tickets, another 17,000 go to Club Wembley (not in direct control of the FA), which leaves 23,000 to members of the “football family” minus the number set aside for sponsors.
"At present tickets dished out to local county FAs, clubs, and so on are subject to fairly loose controls. While a name must be given to the FA for the “end user” there are no controls in place to stop county FA’s giving them to whoever they like. This means that local volunteer Joe Bloggs who has spent 15 years managing a youth side might repeatedly miss out while someone who knows an important figure in their local county FA jumps the queue."
