Video: Fascinating footage of FA Cup tickets being blasted into the stratosphere

The Football Association sent the tickets into the sky via balloon from Wembley at 6 am Wednesday morning. The balloon reached a height of 29km, before slowly falling back down to the Earth. The tickets were eventually picked up by the granny of a 19-year-old Arsenal fan called George Lamb. He recounted how he acquired the tickets on the FA's official website, "when I woke up this morning, the idea of going to the FA Cup Final hadn’t crossed my mind. Now, thanks to my grandma finding the tickets, I’m going on the ultimate adventure to Wembley on Saturday, although I’m sure the tickets’ adventure to space is certainly a close second!"
