A lucky soccer fan is heading to Saturday’s FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Aston Villa at Wembley after picking up two tickets on the border of Kent and East Sussex that had apparently beenfired into space. George Lamb collected the tickets after they were launched on a large meteorological balloon from Wembley’s center circle at 6mam on Wednesday. The FA’s Twitter feedprovided live updates of the balloon’s location using its GPS signal before it burst at a height of 18 miles and floated to the ground in Broad Oak. Lamb was the first person to reach the tickets.
