Crystal Palace Tickets

London plays host to many professional football clubs, but Crystal Palace are definitely a team with among the most loyal fans in the Premier League and elsewhere.

The south London suburb of Selhurst is the home of Crystal Palace Football Club. The Eagles have a long history; for much of it, a modest trophy collection, though that changed dramatically in 2025.

In 2025, Crystal Palace secured their first major piece of silverware. Oliver Glasner guided the Eagles to the FA Cup final where they were underdogs against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. Eberechi Eze scored the only goal of the game to win the FA Cup. Dean Henderson secured the victory thanks to a fine performance that included a penalty save from Omar Marmoush.

Previous to 2025, the closest CPFC supporters have come to celebrating a domestic title trophy was back in the 1990/91 season when they finished 3rd in the old First Division. The season before that, the Eagles reached the FA Cup final, losing narrowly in a replay against Manchester United.

Palace also lost an FA Cup final to Manchester United in 2016. Jason Puncheon had given Palace the lead on 78 minutes only for goals from Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard in extra-time to complete the heartbreak for the Eagles.

Crystal Palace home games take place at Selhurst Park, which holds a 25,486 capacity. It's worth noting that Crystal Palace tickets are readily available for home games, and fans of the club can find great deals on ticket prices at SeatPick.

Crystal Palace FC History

Dating the club's origins can be tricky because most local supporters consider the amateur team formed in 1861 as the genesis of today's Crystal Palace.

During the first decades of the 20th century, the team bounced back between the lower tiers of English championships. After several financial difficulties in the first decade of the 21st century, the CPFC 2010 consortium managed to place the club on sound footing, and in 2013 made a comeback to the Premier League. They've managed to retain a Premier League place since then, helping to generate a financial push and an ever-increasing number of season ticket holders.

Crystal Palace vs Brighton Tickets

The rivalry between Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion is a curious one. Both clubs had competed against each other since 1906 yet weren't perceived as arch enemies until the mid-70s.

The pair meet in Premier League action regularly, and it's a clash that generates a great deal of excitement. Fans wanting to buy Crystal Palace vs Brighton tickets should know that SeatPick is the place to visit.

Crystal Palace Top Managers

The Eagles have something of a reputation for changing managers with regularity. Former Arsenal and Manchester City star Patrick Vieira took over at Selhurst Park from Roy Hodgson in July 2021 and initially impressed in the job and made the team a Premier League outfit that is hard to defeat. A run of defeats saw Hodgson return for the back-end of 2022/2023 and the veteran produced a fine run of form that immediately eased any fears of relegation.

Hodgson was kept on for the 2023/2024 season but made another exit from Crystal Palace when the veteran was replaced by Austrian coach Oliver Glasner in February 2024.

Glasner went on to enjoy considerable success at Selhurst Park, guiding the club to their first major trophy — the 2025 FA Cup — before also winning the Community Shield and the 2026 UEFA Conference League. He departed at the end of the 2025-26 season.

Crystal Palace Famous Footballers

In the club's history, plenty of iconic players have worn the Crystal Palace jersey. Although some names are forgotten, the legends are still topics of discussion in local pubs, by season ticket holders and casual fans, where supporters revisit some of the most thrilling matches at Selhurst Park.

Some of the local Selhurst Park legends include:

• Vince Hilaire
• Ian Wright
• Jim Cannon
• Geoff Thomas
• Peter Taylor
• Attilio Lombardo
• Johnny Byrne
• Mark Bright
• Michael Olise
• Eberechi Eze

Crystal Palace Season Ticket Price List

Despite winning the UEFA Conference League, CPFC froze their season ticket prices ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Crystal Palace Stadium

Selhurst Park is located in the suburb of Selhurst in south London. This ground has a reputation as one of the most atmospheric stadiums in the Premier League. With a seating arrangement near the pitch, it offers an unprecedented viewing experience.

The venue opened in 1924, and the four legendary stands are Holmesdale Road Stand, Main Stand, Whitehorse Lane Stand, and Arthur Wait Stand. Many prime spots for home matches are reserved for Selhurst Park season ticket holders.

Planning Your Visit to Selhurst Park

Selhurst Park has been Crystal Palace’s home since 1924. With a capacity of 25,194, it is among the more compact grounds in the Premier League, and its tightly packed stands help create a close, intense matchday setting that harks back to an earlier era. This is one of the reasons why visiting teams find it hard to break down the Eagles on their home turf.

For supporters comparing Crystal Palace tickets, the main question is whether you want to be near the loudest home support, watch from a longside stand, or choose a quieter area better suited to families and first-time visitors.

Where to Sit at Selhurst Park

Holmesdale Road Stand: Behind the goal at the south end, the Holmesdale Road Stand is the focal point of Palace’s home atmosphere. The Holmesdale Fanatics are based here, and the stand is known for its flags, displays and sustained chanting and singing throughout the match.

This is the strongest choice for supporters who want an energetic, crowd-led experience. The upper tier offers a better overall view of the pitch, while lower-tier seats place you nearer to the noise and goalmouth action.

Arthur Wait Stand: The Arthur Wait Stand runs along the east side of the pitch and is one of the older parts of the stadium. It is close to the touchline, giving lower-tier supporters a particularly immediate view of the game.

Visiting fans are located at the Whitehorse Lane end of this stand. Palace supporters buying Crystal Palace tickets in the Arthur Wait Stand should check the block carefully, especially if they would prefer not to sit near the away allocation.

Main Stand: On the opposite side of the pitch, the Main Stand provides a traditional, central view of the action. It includes the players’ tunnel, dugouts, directors’ box and premium seating, making it a good option for supporters who want to keep an eye on both the football and the technical area.

The Main Stand is undergoing a long-term redevelopment programme, so ticket availability and seating layouts may change as work progresses. Always use the current seating map, via SeatPick, related to the fixture rather than relying on older stadium plans.

Whitehorse Lane Stand: The Whitehorse Lane Stand sits behind the north goal and is generally the quieter end of Selhurst Park. It includes executive boxes and is a popular option for families, younger supporters and anyone looking for a more relaxed place to watch the match.

While it does not match the Holmesdale for volume, it still offers a clear end-on view and lets supporters see Palace attack towards the stand in one half.

A Ground Built for Atmosphere

Selhurst Park is not a stadium where the highest seat necessarily feels distant. Its compact footprint means even upper-tier blocks retain a connection to the pitch, while the roofs help keep crowd noise inside the ground.

For an atmosphere-first visit, look towards the Holmesdale Road Stand. For a side-on view, consider the Main Stand or Arthur Wait Stand, taking care to avoid the away corner if that matters to you. The Whitehorse Lane Stand is the sensible alternative for a calmer matchday. Check the exact block, row and current stadium map before purchasing Crystal Palace tickets, particularly while Main Stand redevelopment plans continue.

Best Ways to Travel to Selhurst Park

After you buy Crystal Palace tickets, you have to make arrangements for travel to the Premier League ground. There are several options for arriving at the stadium.

Here are the most practical options for a matchday visit.
