"It is illegal to sell football tickets above face value and the FA is determined to rid football of touts to help ensure that real fans are not paying inflated prices for tickets.

"The FA is working hard to stamp out touting and monitors the internet closely for the illegal trading of tickets.

"At the meeting of the FA Cup final clubs today, both Chelsea and Everton supported the FA’s scheme and will co- operate in addition to their own anti-touting operations."

The FA have also today confirmed ticket prices, club allocations and team colours for the final.

The four ticket prices for Chelsea v Everton will be £34.40, £58.65, £78.30 and £93, the same pricing levels as for the 2008 final and amended to take into account the VAT reduction.

Both clubs will be allocated 25,000 tickets. Chelsea will wear their yellow strip and be situated in the west of Wembley Stadium while Everton will wear their blue kit and be located in the east stands. The game kicks off at 3pm.

Anyone with relevant information should send the following details to the address below: Name, phone number, email address, seat number of the ticket, where they purchased the ticket and how much was paid for it. Sending in the used ticket will significantly help any case. Address: Out the Touts, Customer Relations, The FA, 25 Soho Square, London, W1D 4FA. Or call the hotline: 0800 085 0508.
