Having been to 79 stadiums around Europe over the years Wembley does not even come into my top 10, hers my reason why.
Ticket prices are shockingly high! For the League one play off final (3rd tier of English football) the FA want to charge me £88 for me and the wife and £37 for my 5-7yr old to get half decent seats or just a fraction less.
I paid silly before but I be doing again, so £250 for a family of 4 to watch a football match.
The match programme will cost me £5 then food and travel (I will travel 400 miles) so a ball park figure of around £400 for the day! No chance you greedy gits. Oh don't buy food in the ground either it's shocking quality with shocking service at shocking prices.
The stadium is based in a shocking area, you will be waiting in traffic for a few hours on your way in and redicolous hours getting out. Don't expect decent transport either because the 2 previous times I went the tube was shut just like every weekend.
If you wanna watch a game of football for a decent price in the capitals best ground go to the Emirates it puts Wembley to shame on price,atmosphere and comfort and view.

Just to correct some of your comments:
1. The FA didn't charge you for your seat, the prices for the play-off's are set by The Football League, not The FA. The Football League run and set the prices for play off finals.
2. It's not compulsory to purchase food in the ground, there are numerous outlets in Wembley High Road and more bars/restaurants are being built as we speak. The prices in the ground are comparable with most stadia in London.
3. The FA or Wembley are not responsible for running the tubes but they do liaise with TFL and one would hope that Boris and his cronies would ensure the tubes are running when there are events on in the capital.
