The Grand National starts at 5.15pm, I would guess the TV companies would want to avoid a clash with that.

Scheduling

Nothing official, however, the current thinking is the game will be 5:15pm on Saturday 6th April, as:

1. Manchester City are playing against Spurs on Tuesday 9th April, so a Sunday fixture would not permit them much rest time between games.
2. The semi-final will not clash with the Premier League games that day. Last year the Saturday game kicked-off at 5:15pm.

Tickets and Pricing

Each club receives c33,000 tickets for the semi-final games. Wembley's capacity is 90,000 so this would mean c24,000 tickets not offered to the clubs. Club Wembley (hospitality-type seats) accounts for c15,000 of those.

The semi-finals in 2018 were priced at £30, £40, £50 and £60 for adults. Concessions prices were determined by each clubs’ concession policy.

Transport

Rail engineering works are timetabled for the weekend of the semi-finals, meaning no trains will be running between Brighton & Three Bridges and Lewes & Three Bridges. Trains from Brighton to London will be routed via Littlehampton.

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] - worth adding a where to drink section.

Typically the Met try and designate pubs in the vicinity based on geographic origin of teams which works also with which end of the stadium each team is given for the same reasons.

A good place as any to review the options is HERE -> http://www.matchdayapp.com/blog/a-guide-to-wembley-stadium-pubs-and-bars/ *SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE AND FIND WESTERN END OR EASTERN END PUBS LISTED ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN THE PAGE*

Never mind the TV companies wanting to avoid a clash. Maty Ryan is due to ride Rock The Kasbah.
