How can I get tickets for Posh's final at Wembley?

Thousands of Peterborough United fans have booked their trip to Wembley to watch their side fight for silverware again.

Posh will make the 80-mile (128km) trip to the capital on Sunday, 13 April, to take on League 1 champions-elect Birmingham City in the Vertu Trophy final.

Supporters hope they can cheer Darren Ferguson's side on to victory for a second year running, despite being distinctly outnumbered inside the ground.

Here is how you can purchase tickets and make it to the home of English football.

Peterborough were given an initial allocation of 25,190 tickets for the east end of Wembley Stadium.

Tickets have been on sale to club members who meet certain criteria since 17 March.

As of 20 March, about 10,000 had been sold to Posh supporters.

Tickets were then made available to all fans registered with the club at 10:00 GMT on Monday.

Peterborough said in-person tickets could be purchased from 10:00 on Friday, although asked that only those who required disabled access visit the ticket office.

Regarding pricing, the cost of a ticket ranges from £10 to £60 - subject to category and age - and includes a £3 booking fee on top.

Supporters can purchase up to six per account, with all tickets to be printed at home and emailed out about two weeks before the match.

Posh has also been offering official coach travel via its website, with the bus leaving the Weston Homes stadium at 09:30 on match day.

For those getting the train, Wembley Stadium is accessible from three railway stations:

• Wembley Park, via the Metropolitan line
• Wembley Stadium, via Chiltern Railways
• Wembley Central, via the Bakerloo and London Overground lines

Car parking spaces at the ground were subject to availability, Peterborough said.

As for Birmingham City, their supporters have sold more than 43,000 tickets for the showpiece match.

That represented more than the entire 42,252 crowd for the dramatic 2024 final.

Blues sold out their initial 36,800 allocation, which is more than 10,000 above the allocation afforded to the defending champions.

Posh had the larger share of fans for last season's final against Wycombe Wanderers, when they had more than 22,000 in attendance to witness Harrison Burrows' late double.

The record attendance for an EFL Trophy final was when 85,021 watched Portsmouth beat Sunderland on penalties in 2019.

Posh have already secured one advantage, however, after they won the toss to use their home blue shirts at Wembley.

Peterborough United have turned around their fortunes on the pitch in recent weeks.

Their inspired seven-match unbeaten run has lifted them up to 15th in the League One table - nine points clear of the relegation zone.

Despite the extra breathing space ahead of their Wembley trip, Ferguson has insisted he is fully focused on the league campaign.

"The motivation for me is staying in the league," Ferguson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

"The Wembley game is the least important of the season, I'm not interested in it at all.

"I will be on the day, but only on the day, and we've got to make sure we're in a very good position by the time we get to Wembley."

Peterborough have away league games against Reading and Crawley Town, followed by home fixtures against Northampton Town and Birmingham, before taking on Blues again at Wembley.
