Here's the official statement of the "Muttenzerkurve": http://www.muttenzerkurve.ch/ Unfortunately it's written in swiss-german so there's no way you can translate it. I'll try to point the key-things out.
The Muttenzerkurve is the fan curve of Basel. It's one of the biggest, if not the biggest, curves in Switzerland. I would say most Basel fans look up to them and I guess their words matter to most Basel fans. Of course not everybody will follow them.
Here are the key-things:
- The prices are to high. They don't seem that high for foreigners, but the thing is that the Swiss FA wants a full stadium and an "event for everyone who loves football". Official prices are 50 CHF for a place in the fan-sector and 100 CHF for the neutral sector.
- The tickets are matched with trains. The city of Bern (where the final takes place) wants everybody to come by train. The tickets enable people to take certain trains (combined with the match-tickets). This requires everybody to pay for the train aswell. It doesn't matter if you're a Basel supporter living in Bern. It only gives you certain trains from Basel to Bern for free. If you live somewhere else in Switzerland you have to buy the train-ticket and the match-ticket. Same thing for the Thun supporters. Thun is a city not far from Bern (about 25km).
- There already is tension between Fans and the Swiss FA regarding the Cup final. The cup always has been played in Bern, but in recent years they we're played in Zurich or Geneva. This seems not to be a problem, but given that football romanticist don't really like change it is a problem for them (traditional values and history).
- All four semi finalists held up banners during league games that the tickets prices are too high, and that everybody should be able to go to Bern as he pleases.
- Swiss FA says that the prices are higher because of the greater security costs. With Thun against Basel in the finals the security cost will be very low, given that Thun is a small club with a rather tiny fanbase.
- Families won't afford it to go to the cup final because it's just too expensive. This goes against the Swiss FA's message that the cup final should be for everyone.

It's definitely a bold strategy and puts the Swiss FA in a really challenging position. Fairly sure the English FA would sue any club that tried this.
