Manchester City players, staff and supporters will be making their 24th trip to Wembley Stadium for a domestic cup semi-final or final under Pep Guardiola on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The FA Cup final against Chelsea will be City’s third trip to the national stadium in as many month after beating Southampton in the previous round and Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final in March.<\/p>\n

City supporters were mocked for failing to sell out their allocation of tickets against the Saints, but what is the cost of attending the showpiece against Chelsea?<\/p>\n

BBC Sport spoke to City fan Ashraf, who is heading down to London from West Yorkshire with his son, for a breakdown of his spending for the day:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n Match tickets:<\/b> Category 2 – \u00a3125 for adults, \u00a3115 children\n <\/li>\n
  • \n Train tickets:<\/b> \u00a395 (booked in advance before the semi-final)\n <\/li>\n
  • \n Taxis:<\/b> \u00a320 to and from the stadium\n <\/li>\n
  • \n Food:<\/b> \u00a3130 – two burger meals for lunch, snacks and drinks at stadium, evening meal\n <\/li>\n
  • \n Total:<\/b> \u00a3485\n <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In his pre-match news conference, Guardiola acknowledged the sacrifices made by supporters, saying: “The message is an FA Cup final with two prestigious clubs and with our fans, who make an incredible effort to come down to London.<\/p>\n

    “It is not cheap and we try to perform as best as possible to win.”<\/p>\n
