KIT
We will wear our black and amber striped kit. A limited supply of embroidered commemorative home shirts and other play-off items are on sale from the club shop from 10am-4pm daily and online from the club shop website at www.theusonline.co.uk
BUYING TICKETS
Taking into account the limitations of the club's telephone system, and following advice from Exeter City who also went to Wembley for last season's play-off final, we will be working with an outside company to sell tickets for the game.
There will be no ticket sales from the Trade Recruitment Stadium.
Further details are below, including details for group bookings, disabled supporters, and the 'Amber Army' singing section.

POSTAGE/COLLECTION
After taking advice from Exeter City and Wembley Stadium, the only way to ensure safe and timely postal delivery of tickets is by Royal Mail Special Delivery. This is a next day delivery service and your tickets are insured and must be signed for. The cost is £5.25 per envelope (including VAT). Please note that all envelopes will need to be signed for on receipt.
Alternatively you may request the option to collect your tickets in person from the Trade Recruitment Stadium at a handling cost of 75p per ticket. The Ticket Office will be open next Friday, 16th April, from 8am to 7pm for personal collection of tickets.
AMBER ARMY SECTION
We wish to repeat the success of the Amber Army singing section at Molineux in January so, although we would like all U's fans to sing and get behind the team, there will be a specific section for the singers to gather together.
We have set aside blocks 110-113 in the lower tier immediately behind the goal for the Amber Army singing section and if you wish to sit in this area you should request this on the phone, or book online in those blocks. Supporters should bear in mind the nature of this area when booking, especially if your group includes children or seniors.
GROUP BOOKINGS
To address the issue of large groups wishing to sit together, there is a dedicated order line for groups of more than 20 people, which will allow groups of 20 or more to purchase tickets as a single order using the special group booking telephone number (0844 888 4417).
Please note that the handling fee (see above) applies to each ticket within any group booking. Delivery charges are per envelope.
Coach and minibus parking is available to purchase via www.csparking.com/stadium and will cost £40. Coach spaces should be booked as soon as possible as space will be at a premium.
DISABLED TICKETS
We have been allocated 108 tickets for disabled supporters and assistants. These seats are available at the front of all of our lower tier blocks so there will be some disabled tickets available at the front of the Amber Army section too. Please contact Cambridge United on 01223 566500 to book or for further details.
Parking for Blue Badge holders is available to purchase via www.csparking.com/stadium at a cost of £12 per pass. Passes will entitle holders to park in the blue badge area of one of the two onsite car parks.
TRAVEL DETAILS
We will be running coaches to the game and details of coaches and other travel details will follow in the Breaking News section and the Away Travel page.
