Train line is showing no tickets available for Saturday, so it looks like car travel for most as no supporters buses.

Any tips for parking on outskirts?
 
For the Carling Cup I used this website.
It worked superbly well.

https://www.justpark.com/uk/parking/wembley-stadium/
 
There's loads of sites that you can Google, where folk rent their driveways
Or parking areas for the day. We've also used Q park not cheap (£30?) but there loads of car parks in
and around London, we've used the one underneath Hyde Park is massive, but maybe a bit too
Far out for Wembley, anyways their web site is worth a look.👍
 
I’ve used Just Park many of times and especially in London as it works out a lot cheaper.

For anyone wanting train tickets someone is selling 3 lots of returns from Swansea to London on Saturday for £60 per return.
 
Train ticket has gone up from £96 when I priced it last Saturday to £235 when I went to book it tonight. If I arrived at Wembley Station at 3.02pm the price goes back down to £96, Great Western Railway are robbing bar stewards. Booked Just Park Empire Way Carpark for £20 so the car it is then
 
You can street park near the Harvester in Boston Manor and jump on the tube or bus there. It’s about 40 mins, google maps or the TFL app will guide you.

There's only First class left. Train fares aren't like air fares, they are fixed prices.

They have limited trains in use, a reduced capacity and it's bank holiday weekend, I'd imagine that's why trains are hard to come by Saturday morning.
 
Definitely not fixed prices. In our experience they have price bands. Once they've sold so many the price goes up to the next price and so it goes on.
Wxm - Birmimgham is £11 then it goes up to £27. If website says 1 ticket left at £11 and you want 2 then it charges you £27 for each ticket. Very annoying.
We've parked on somebody's drive in the past. Worked out fine. Wouldn't fancy using the tube if it's it's packed.

This is the person selling train return tickets for Saturday for anyone wanting to get some.
 
Car + official car park. Parking is £30 so complete rip off, but a lot cheaper than a train ticket. I enjoyed the train last time, but with the trains off for those safety checks and Covid didn’t think they’d be worth the hassle. So sober it is, which is fine.
 
Tried booking parking on the Wembley site.
We are allocated the Pink Car & Coack Car Park.
However only comes up with option for minibus or coach at £65 ?
The car park allocated to Brentford has the car option at £30 ?
Anyone else tried booking this online ?
Three of us travelling so not interested in parking further away to save a few ponds between us but won't pay £65

There’s loads of parking on the industrial business around Wembley Stadium for about £15.
