Little bit steep £30 for adults in the Hammy end.

Hatch007 · February 21, 2026, 12:51:35 AM

What price do you think should have been set?

£25

At those prices and being a 12pm Sunday TV game I doubt it will sell out. Soton should fill their section. Its a shame as I remember when the early rounds were packed at Fulham, the FA Cup is now the new league cup

Why should they sell out and not us ?
Same price and same kick off time, and some of their supporters will be coming from the Isle of Wight, so quite a hike,
If their supporters can make the effort surely ours can to.

I fail to see why our ticket pricing policy has any connection to the status of the FA Cup, which you claim is the "new league cup". Please explain?

Maybe it's just me but I don't think a midday ko off is so bad. But then I don't go drinking prior to a game. For me it means I get back home at a sensible time for a meal so it fits quite well into the day. Each to their own I guess.

Because they only need to sell 3k or so. Fulham typically sell our away allocation in the league but don't on home cup games.

I am not sure the FA Cup carrys the same gravitas it once did, particularly since it became over subscribed to TV, removal of the classic cup replay, extra time on the day etc.

Maybe because we are no longer the underdogs being in the Prem versus league 1/2 but the buzz of the cup for me at Fulham has fizzled away over the years. Really only gaining any momentum at the QF/SF stages.

So for me, and clearly the club based on ticket prices in early rounds (and attendances) it no longer has the pull versus a league game. On this occasion it feels a ramp up in price a round too early

The domestic cups lost their kudos in the 1990's when Arsene Wenger was allowed to use Youth players in domestic cup games and the other teams followed. It was further devalued when all the European Cup places were given to the Premier League.

At about the same time Manchester United were allowed to enter the FA Cup in the fourth round so that they could play in the World Club Championship. This further devalued the competition.

There is also the financial incentive to finish as high as possible in the Premiere League, because a higher place brigs huge rewards. More that a good cup run ever could.

So having a good cup run is for the fans and not the Directors who have to balance the finances.

The FA cup seems very much
alive and kicking this season.

RAY Rock · February 21, 2026, 12:26:40 PM

£30 for an adult where are the prices for the game?

St Eve · February 21, 2026, 12:31:57 PM

30 quid to watch us get into the last 8 of the oldest competition in the world is a bargain. I love the FA Cup and would be ecstatic if we could reach our second ever final, but win this time. Then we are in Europe!

I don't know about bargain but I certainly don't think it's too steep. Seems about right to me.

Compared to premier league prices, it's not diabolical, but I think about £5 less would bring in a better attendance. Early kick off and TV coverage will put a few off.

H4usuallysitting · February 21, 2026, 02:00:38 PM

It'll be a toss up for me... Bargain Hunt & Escape to the Country or Fulham

They will sell somewhere between 5k and 7.5k

Not sure what the issue is, prices are set to cover match day cost of staff etc so its just up to each individual to either buy or stay away, I cannot get there for 1200 so im giving it a miss but if I could then £30 is reasonable

I think the FA Cup has been devalued by the stupid decision of the FA to hold the semi finals at Wembley.
It takes away the dream of that day out in the Final,there are plenty other grounds with over 60,000 capacity where semi's can be played.
Didn't they make City and Liverpool travel all the way to London for a semi,when the game could have been staged at United's 76,000 ground.
