Having sold over 32,000 for their semi-final win over Manchester United, Everton were unhappy and disappointed with this allocation.

Chelsea also said that the size of their allocation meant that it was unlikely that there would be sufficient tickets for all of their hospitality and non-hospitality season ticket holders.Everton issue Cup tickets warning https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/fa_cup/8015583.stm BBC Sport British Broadcasting Corporation 28 April 2009 7 May 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090427183829/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/fa_cup/8015583.stm 27 April 2009 live Club Wembley ten-year season ticket holders were also guaranteed a ticket for the match.
