Ah, ok, gotcha.
Don't get me wrong, I know what you are going through. For the final a couple of years ago United were in the exact same position. They had 56,000+ season ticket holders and 25,000 tickets. The fact is, the FA choose to do it that way, and it's not changed in many, many years. Uefa do it for the Champions League final too, it's just the way of the world.
I think the killer is not the "football family" tickets, but sponsors and club Wembley tickets, they take up at least half of the 40,000 tickets that aren't allocated to the clubs. But, that's the world we live in.

I'd agree with that mate, it seems they make a bigger thing out of the football family tickets but then again this "football family" probably don't get a load of tickets. It is the sponsors and club Wembley ones that take up a huge chunk of the allocation. It is not fair but as you say it's that world we live in and it's not going to change anytime soon.
I also feel it's pathetic when UEFA distribute the CL final tickets, I have always felt it wrong how these big games are done but obviously until now it has not directly affected me. However, we're also lucky in a sense that we don't have many more season ticket holders than the alloted ticket numbers so it's not as big a scramble for me and people I go with, we will be ok for a ticket but for likes of you when it's 56,000 plus season tickets holders trying to go into 25,000 tickets it just doesn't go. Suppose which ever way it goes people be left disappointed, hopefully the ones who deserve them this time around get them.
