A seat in Speroni's Restaurant the same night costs £215 plus VAT, and the identical package for a Premier League fixture starts at £375 plus VAT. That spread is the first thing to grasp about Crystal Palace hospitality this season: the lounge stays the same, the opponent sets the bill.
Article Summary: Selhurst Park sells five premium packages for 2026/27: Legends Restaurant, Speroni's Restaurant, the new 1861 Lounge, the 2010 Club and private Executive Boxes. Premier League matchday prices run from £285 to £425 per person plus VAT, Europa League league-phase nights from £215 to £275 plus VAT, and seasonal packages covering every Premier League home game cost £5,950 to £7,450 plus VAT, all as published by the club in September 2026.
- The 1861 Lounge opened for the 2026/27 season inside a new two-floor, glass-fronted hospitality suite with a seven-metre bar, priced from £410 per person plus VAT (Crystal Palace, September 2026).
- Legends Restaurant is the only Selhurst Park lounge with balcony seating directly over the pitch, at the Whitehorse Lane goal, from £285 per person plus VAT (September 2026).
- A private Executive Box for 10 guests starts at £3,750 plus VAT for a Premier League match and £2,500 plus VAT for a Europa League league-phase match (September 2026).
- Every club price is quoted before 20% VAT, so a £425 2010 Club seat costs £510 at checkout.
The setting has changed as much as the prices. Speroni's and the club's Boardroom guests have moved into a new two-floor suite that replaces the old lounges inside the Main Stand, while construction for the stand's redevelopment carries on around the existing seating, and the Selhurst Park seating plan shows how the halfway-line Directors' Box and the two balcony products behind the goal split across the ground. Below is what each package includes, what it costs by competition and where the small print catches people out.
Five Lounges, One New Glass Suite: What Each Package Buys You

Palace groups its products by view rather than by price band. Three sit in or beside the halfway-line Directors' Box, two sit above the Whitehorse Lane goal. The figures below are the club's lowest published 2026/27 Premier League matchday prices per person, all quoted plus VAT on the club's hospitality pages as of 16 September 2026.
| Package | From (per person, plus VAT) | Seats | What is included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legends Restaurant | £285 | Balcony above the Whitehorse Lane goal | Chef-served three-course buffet, inclusive beers, house wines and soft drinks, half-time cheese boards, post-match pies, appearances from former players |
| Speroni's Restaurant | £375 | Directors' Box, halfway line | Three-course seasonal menu, inclusive beers, house wines and soft drinks, half-time pies, post-match cheeseboards, pre and post-match analysis from club legends |
| The 1861 Lounge | £410 | Main Stand, short walk from the suite | Canapé and sparkling reception, pre-match, half-time and post-match dining, all drinks included, dedicated mixologist, shared floor with Boardroom guests |
| The 2010 Club | £425 | VIP Directors' Box beside the dugouts | Sparkling reception with canapés, modern bistro menu by the Executive Chef, table service, half-time and full-time refreshments, inclusive drinks |
| Executive Boxes | £3,750 per box | Private balcony over the pitch | 10 or 20-person boxes, tailored food and drink packages, dedicated service, flexible layouts |
Two of these are easy to confuse. Speroni's and the 2010 Club both put guests on the halfway line, but the 2010 Club is the smaller, quieter room with table service and seats a few steps from the technical areas, which is why the club calls it its most exclusive product. Speroni's is the larger restaurant named after the Argentinian goalkeeper Julián Speroni, and its guests share the main Directors' Box. Legends is the outlier: the only lounge where the balcony seats are attached to the room itself, so guests never leave the table at kick-off.
Executive Boxes are priced per box, not per head. Ten guests at £3,750 plus VAT works out at £375 per person before tax, the same as Speroni's, but with a private space and a menu the club tailors to the booking. The 20-person boxes are priced on enquiry.
Why Lech Poznań Costs £215 and Manchester City Cost £600 for the Same Lounge

The "from" price on each club page is a floor set by the least glamorous fixture on the calendar, and the gap to the top is wide. When the club opened bookings for the 1861 Lounge in August 2026, it listed the Manchester City match on 28 August from £600 per person plus VAT, while the same lounge for Ipswich Town, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United started at £410 plus VAT. That is a 46% premium for one opponent in one room.
European nights sit at the other end of the scale. For the Europa League league-phase visit of Lech Poznań on 17 September 2026, the club priced Speroni's at £215, Legends at £225, the 1861 Lounge at £250 and the 2010 Club at £275 per person plus VAT, with a 10-guest Executive Box from £2,500 plus VAT, according to Read Crystal Palace's report on the club's price list. Hospitality for the remaining league-phase home games against Hoffenheim on 5 November, Real Sociedad on 26 November and Sparta Prague on 21 January 2027 was open for enquiry on the club's site as of mid-September, and the Crystal Palace vs Lech Poznań tickets listing gives a sense of how standard-seat resale prices for the same night compare. The other ties sit on the Europa League tickets listing.
| Package | Europa League league phase (plus VAT) | Premier League from (plus VAT) | Premier League from (including 20% VAT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legends Restaurant | £225 | £285 | £342 |
| Speroni's Restaurant | £215 | £375 | £450 |
| The 1861 Lounge | £250 | £410 | £492 |
| The 2010 Club | £275 | £425 | £510 |
| Executive Box (10 guests) | £2,500 | £3,750 | £4,500 |
The VAT column matters because the club, like most Premier League hospitality departments, quotes every figure before tax. A couple booking the 2010 Club for a Premier League game should budget £1,020 rather than £850. Resellers add their own layer: Seat Unique, for example, states on its Crystal Palace page that a booking fee of around 5% is applied at checkout. Compare reseller and club quotes on the same basis, because a £100 per head gap often turns out to be nothing more than the tax line.
Which fixtures carry the steepest premium is not published as a table, but the club's own enquiry list points the way. As of 16 September 2026, hospitality for Liverpool on 7 November, Manchester United on 12 December, Arsenal on 27 December, Chelsea on 6 January 2027 and Tottenham Hotspur on 23 January 2027 was marked enquire-only rather than bookable online, while the Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United and European fixtures had live booking. For the December and January games, the Crystal Palace vs Manchester United tickets and Crystal Palace vs Chelsea tickets listings show what standard seats are trading at while lounge prices remain on request.
The Seasonal Route: Every Premier League Home Game for £5,950 to £7,450

For anyone attending more than a handful of matches, the seasonal packages undercut matchday pricing sharply. The club's Seasonal Premium Experiences page listed Speroni's at £5,950, Legends at £6,600, the 1861 Lounge at £6,750 and the 2010 Club at £7,450 per person plus VAT for the 2026/27 season, with a seasonal Executive Box from £58,500 plus VAT. Each covers every Premier League home fixture, which means 19 matches, with the same dining, drinks and legends appearances on every visit. Cup and European home ties are not included, so FA Cup and EFL Cup nights at Selhurst Park are booked separately, either as one-off matchday packages or as standard seats.
Divide that out and Speroni's costs about £313 per match before VAT on a seasonal deal against £375 at the matchday floor, and the seasonal buyer also gets the Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal games that push matchday prices to their peak. The trade-off is commitment: seasonal packages are sold as a single block, and the club does not list a refund route for matches a guest cannot attend. That structure mirrors what Brighton and Hove Albion offer at the Amex, and the Brighton hospitality guide is useful for anyone weighing both ends of the M23 derby, which returns to Selhurst Park on 15 May 2027.

Behind the Goal or Beside the Dugout: Where the Seats Actually Are

Selhurst Park holds 25,486 and has been the club's home since 1924, so the hospitality footprint is small by Premier League standards and the view differs sharply by package. The halfway-line products all feed into the Directors' Box in the Main Stand: Speroni's guests take the main block, 2010 Club guests sit in the VIP section closest to the two benches and 1861 Lounge guests are ticketed in the Main Stand a short walk from the new suite. The suite itself is a 60-second walk from main reception and runs to two floors of roughly 600 square metres each, according to the club.
Legends Restaurant and the Executive Boxes sit at the Whitehorse Lane end. Legends offers panoramic balcony seating over the goal-line, with the Holmesdale Road end and its noise directly opposite, which gives it a different character from the more measured Directors' Box. Boxes have private balconies above the pitch. The Selhurst Park stadium guide linked below walks through every stand for anyone deciding whether the hospitality view justifies the price over a standard seat in the Arthur Wait or Holmesdale stands. Palace lifted the Conference League and the Community Shield in 2025/26 while finishing mid-table in the league, so a European night can outstrip a routine Saturday for atmosphere, and a standard seat at one of the smaller home fixtures is the cheapest way to sample the ground before committing to a lounge.
Dress Code, Children, Arrival Times and Getting to SE25

The practical rules are lighter than at many London clubs. Smart casual is recommended across the lounges and no formal dress code is enforced in the shared boxes, but away colours are not permitted anywhere in home hospitality and guests openly supporting the visitors can be refused entry without compensation, according to the terms published by the club's authorised reseller Seat Unique. Families and children are welcome in every package, and the club markets the lounges to celebrations as much as to corporate hosts.
- Speroni's opens two and a half hours before kick-off and stays open for an hour after the final whistle; the 2010 Club opens two hours before kick-off (Seat Unique package terms, September 2026).
- Selhurst Park is fully cashless, so bring a card or contactless payment for anything outside the inclusive package.
- Selhurst, Thornton Heath and Norwood Junction stations are all under a mile from the ground; Crystal Palace station is two miles away and a common mistake for first-time visitors.
- There is no public matchday parking at the stadium, and the club's Information Centre by Entrance 9 handles left luggage and cycle storage queries.
- Hospitality tickets are typically issued as e-tickets two to four days before the match, or collected from the Executive Box reception for box bookings.
Check the arrival window before booking a midweek European fixture: a 20:00 kick-off with a two-and-a-half-hour lounge opening means a 17:30 arrival, workable from central London by train but tight for anyone flying in the same day. The club's matchday hospitality pages carry the current fixture-by-fixture availability and the enquiry line for bespoke bookings.
Big-Match Seats Without the Lounge Bill

Hospitality solves two problems at once: it secures a seat for a fixture that never reaches general sale, and it upgrades the day. Plenty of supporters only need the first. Palace runs a membership-first ticketing system in which Premier League home games sell to season ticket holders and members long before any public window, which is why the Crystal Palace tickets without membership guide exists. For a fixture like Crystal Palace vs Tottenham on 23 January 2027, a resale seat in the Arthur Wait Stand will often come in well under the £342 that Legends costs once VAT is added, and it puts you in the stand rather than on a balcony. Domestic cup ties against lower-division opposition are also the one type of home fixture that regularly reaches general sale, according to Football Ground Guide, so an EFL Cup night is the cheapest route into the ground for a non-member.
The reverse case is real too. For the Manchester City visit the club priced its newest lounge at £600 plus VAT, and on nights like that resale prices for top-category standard seats can climb until the gap to a lounge package narrows. Price both routes for the specific fixture rather than assuming hospitality is always the expensive option. Every listing on 1BoxOffice carries the 150% money-back guarantee, which covers the buyer if a seat is not delivered as described.
FAQs
1. Do you need a Palace membership to buy Selhurst Park hospitality?
-
No membership is required, because Crystal Palace sells hospitality packages directly through its Premium team and authorised resellers to anyone who books, unlike standard Premier League tickets which go to members first.
2. Can away fans book hospitality at Selhurst Park?
-
Away supporters can book but must behave as neutrals, since all Selhurst Park hospitality seats sit in home areas and anyone wearing visiting colours or openly backing the opposition risks removal without a refund.
3. When do Selhurst Park hospitality tickets arrive?
-
Lounge packages are usually issued as e-tickets two to four days before the match, while Executive Box tickets are often held for collection at the box reception on the day.
4. What happens to a hospitality booking if the fixture is moved for television?
-
Bookings transfer to the new date and time automatically, and Crystal Palace and its resellers state that a change of kick-off does not entitle the buyer to a refund or cancellation.
5. Is a matchday programme included in the Palace lounges?
-
Speroni's Restaurant guests receive a matchday programme as part of the package, whereas the shared Executive Box product does not include one, according to the inclusions listed by Seat Unique in September 2026.
Crystal Palace has turned a modest hospitality operation into five distinct products in the space of one redevelopment, and the pricing now behaves like any other Premier League club's: cheap on a Thursday in Europe, steep when Manchester City or Arsenal come to SE25. Price the lounge against a standard seat for the exact fixture you want, factor in the VAT, and if the seat alone is the goal, 1BoxOffice lists every Palace home game with the 150% money-back guarantee behind it.
