How to buy tickets for football match, crystal palace


Recommended Posts

Hi eveyone,

I have recently outed myself as a non football fan,

but as we have friends coming from abroad l am trying to be helpful.

As we can't watch a saturday afternoon match on TV, they wanted to go and watch it live.

I wanted to buy them two tickets for next crystal palace match in selhurst stadium, but tickets cost either ?50 or around ?15 for members. Right?

Is it really so expensive as a non-member or are there any other options?

Please enlighten me.

Tickets at CPFC normally cost ?35 and upwards


For league matches, tickets go to members first and can sell out before going on general sale. If there is a discount for members it's nominal.


This Saturday is an FA Cup game against Stoke and tickets are available for ?15.00 as demand is generally lower for cup games.


Hamlet is a tenner to get in and is great. It might well be raining this weekend though, and there isn't much cover there, so you and your friends may get wet.

1. Dulwich Hamlet

2. Hang around schools, particularly those in Croydon, as Palace often give tickets to primary schools (no don't!)

3. Hang around Palace on match day, there are often dodgy geezers with cheap tickets or people with spares

4. Dulwich Hamlet

There are no Premier League matches this Saturday, only FA Cup. The next round of PL matches is on Tuesday/Wednesday evening, and Arsenal, West Ham and Palace are at home, (also Watford, which is easy to get to from London). If they are very keen to go you need to check with both the home and away clubs - probably easiest just to call the ticket office and ask if there are any available for general sale. I wouldn't be that hopeful though - your best bet might be trying to get tickets for the away end for West Ham v Aston Villa as (i) it's a Tuesday night (ii) it's a schlep from Birmingham to East London (iii) it's live on BT Sport and (iv) Villa are shit and are odds on to get stuffed. However, if you're in the away end at Upton Park you're going to get abuse from a load of sweaty, sweary Hammers fans, but that just makes the experience more 'real'.

Alternatively, just pop into the 'Football Focus' thread on here...

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
