As you probably know all clubs receive a small allocation of tickets for cup finals. I need at least a couple for the league cup final. I'm Sunderland but I'd buy tickets for any section. I'm happy to pay over the odds. I live 1000 miles from the UK but still manage around 16/20 games a season. I was at the semi-final and have stayed on for Kidderminster and the Stoke match on Wednesday. I can't have a season ticket so won't get a ticket for the final. I'm not going to give you a sob story, I'm just an ordinary supporter who's been travelling the length & breadth of the country for 40 years following my team. If you can help please pm, thanks.
A Mackem mate of mine has just bought a half season ticket for £100 which guarantees him 2 League Cup final tickets If you can afford the trip from Antibes I reckon this is less than the mark up you'll pay from non official sources, even if you never use the ticket. Unless of course you are banned from The Stadium of Light and the club won't sell you a season ticket......
The sister in laws boyfriend is a Mackem. He told me yesterday both they and City have been allocated 30,000 tickets each with about 25 - 30,000 tickets being given to corporate sponsors. Its where the game is going sadly especially to pay off the Wembley construction bill
