FA Cup

Hi everyone, I need some advice about getting FA Cup Final tickets for Man City.

My husband is a huge Man City fan, and May 16th is both his birthday and the final, so I really want to surprise him. I’ve already bought us kits, but I don’t have tickets yet.

I have a Man City account and can access tickets when they go on sale, but it looks like I can only buy one ticket per account. I’ve heard about linking accounts through the Friends & Family system, but I’m not sure how it actually works in practice.

My questions:
- If I link my account with his, can I buy two tickets (one for each of us) at the same time?
- Does he need to log in and buy his own ticket separately?
- Will he get notified if I link the accounts or try to buy for him (trying to keep it a surprise if possible 😭)?
- Is this even realistic for a high-demand game like the FA Cup Final?

I’m trying to avoid resellers because of the risk and prices, but I also don’t want to mess this up.

Any advice or experience would really help!!
