How to Buy Crystal Palace Away Tickets

Crystal Palace away tickets in 2026/27 are sold only to Season Ticket holders and paid Members, and the November sale for Coventry, Chelsea and Aston Villa opened its first window at 11,500 loyalty points. Coventry and Chelsea had sold out before supporters with few or no points got a turn, which is the pattern for almost every high-demand trip this season.

Home matches work differently, and our guide to buying Palace tickets without a membership covers Selhurst Park in detail. Following the team on the road, from the London derbies to Lyon and Salzburg, runs on a separate system built around loyalty points. For the wider season, 1BoxOffice lists Crystal Palace tickets for home and away matches in every competition.

Season Ticket, Season Ticket+ or Membership: The Only Ways In

Palace do not put away tickets on general sale. None of the away sales notices published in 2025/26 or so far in 2026/27 has reached the public, and every one names Season Ticket holders, Season Ticket+ holders and Members as the eligible buyers. The product you hold decides which windows you can use and whether you can enter the ballot.

Product (2026/27)	Price	Loyalty points	What it does for away tickets
Season Ticket	Varies by seat	500	Buy in every points window you qualify for
Season Ticket+ (add-on for Season Ticket holders)	£50	250 extra	Own window with no points needed, plus away ballot entry
Gold Membership	£60	250	Points windows plus away ballot entry
Junior Gold Membership	£60	250	Junior away ballot: a winner can buy for themselves and one adult
Adult Membership	£25	100	Points windows, in practice the final no-points window
Junior Membership	£25	100	As Adult Membership
International Membership	£35 digital, £45 with welcome pack	200	Priority on one home league match; 200 points towards away sales, but no away ballot entry

Prices are those published when 2026/27 Memberships went on sale in July 2026, and every Membership expires on 31 May 2027. The club states plainly that it cannot guarantee tickets to all Members, so treat any Membership as a place in the queue rather than a seat.

How the Sales Windows Work

The 2026/27 away sale notices published so far, from Brighton and Fulham in September to Beşiktaş, Lyon and the November batch, have all used the same seven-stage ladder, although Palace can change the format for any future match. Same-day windows open two hours apart, with further stages continuing the following day, and each one is open to everyone with at least that many points, so supporters in the top band can still buy later if tickets remain.

Window	November 2026 sale	Who can buy
1	Mon 9 Nov, 10:00	Season Ticket holders and Members with 11,500+ points
2	Mon 9 Nov, 12:00	9,000+ points
3	Mon 9 Nov, 14:00	7,000+ points
4	Mon 9 Nov, 16:00	5,000+ points
5	Tue 10 Nov, 10:00	3,000+ points
6	Tue 10 Nov, 12:00	Season Ticket+ holders, no points needed
7	Tue 10 Nov, 14:00	All Season Ticket holders and Members, no points needed

Ticket limits vary from match to match. For the November 2026 sales the limit was one ticket per client reference number in every window. Sales are announced in the tickets news section of the club website, on the club app and on its social channels, and all windows are subject to availability.

The bar has moved up sharply. Domestic away sales in 2025/26 started at 8,000+ points, and some ended with a window allowing two tickets per client reference. Neither feature appears in the 2026/27 notices, so a points total that won a Chelsea ticket last season may not reach the first windows now.

When a match sells out, the club opens a free waiting list, and the order depends on when the sell-out happened. If tickets ran out while points windows were still running, returns go first to supporters with the most points; if they ran out after the no-points window opened, priority follows the date and time you joined the list. Joining does not guarantee a ticket, and for Brighton away in 2024/25 and 2025/26 the list was restricted to supporters with 3,000+ points.

How Loyalty Points Build Up

Points are attached to your client reference number and come from Season Tickets, Memberships, match tickets and club retail spend. Palace currently has no plans to delete accumulated loyalty points, which is why long-standing travellers sit so far ahead of anyone who joined recently.

Activity	Points
Season Ticket	500
Gold Membership or Season Ticket+	250
International Membership	200
Adult or Junior Membership	100
Home match ticket (not for Season Ticket holders)	20
Away ticket at Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham, West Ham, Chelsea, Liverpool, Brighton, Brentford or Fulham	20
Other away and cup matches	Confirmed after the match
Club Shop, kiosks and online retail (not tickets or Memberships)	1 per £1

The arithmetic is sobering. A Gold Member who managed to buy a ticket for all 19 home league matches would add 250 plus 380, so 630 points in a season before any away or cup trips. On ticket and Membership points alone, the 3,000 window is several seasons away for a new Member. Away trips add more, and club retail spend earns a point per pound, so a supporter who also spends heavily in the Club Shop can close the gap faster. There is no fixed timescale, but the 11,500 band is a long-term target rather than a first-season one.

Two habits protect what you earn. Three tickets booked on one client reference earn only one set of points, so add friends and family under "manage my relationships" in your club account and allocate each ticket to its holder. Points from stadium purchases can also take up to 24 hours to appear, so check your balance before a sale opens rather than during it.

Home matches are the steadiest source of points, and the Selhurst Park seating plan shows where the stands and blocks sit if you are choosing seats for the first time. Supporters who simply want to be at a home game this season, without chasing points, can compare Selhurst Park tickets across the remaining league and Europa League dates.

The Away Ballot: A Route That Ignores Points

The ballot is the one part of the system where a new Member stands the same chance as a veteran. Gold Members, Junior Gold Members and Season Ticket+ holders can enter, and winners are picked at random regardless of their points balance.

• Register separately for each match before it goes on sale, through the Away Matches section of the club's ticketing site.
• Each successful entrant is emailed and offered one ticket in the first sales window.
• Group entries do not help: the draw treats every name individually, so one friend winning says nothing about the others.
• A Junior Gold winner can buy two tickets, one junior and one adult, by phone or in person only, and the adult must hold a paid 2026/27 Membership or Season Ticket.
• Ballot numbers depend on the allocation Palace receive and are not published, and winners who decide not to buy should tell the Box Office.

For a supporter starting from zero, the ballot is the strongest argument for paying £60 for Gold rather than £25 for an Adult Membership. It will not land every big match, but it is the only door into a sold-out derby that does not depend on years of attendance.

What You Pay: The £30 Cap and Concessions

Adult prices for Premier League away matches cannot exceed £30. Clubs voted unanimously on 19 March 2026 to extend the cap for two more seasons, to the end of 2027/28, and the league said the cap had lifted away attendance from 82% to 91% of allocations. Concessions are set by the home club, so the reductions vary from ground to ground.

Away match (2026/27)	Adult	Concessions
Tottenham (Premier League)	£30	Over-66 £25, 18 to 25 £25, under-18 £18
Brighton (Premier League)	£30	Over-65 £26, under-21 £26, under-18 £18
Coventry City (Premier League)	£30	65+ £27, under-22 £27, under-18 £22
Chelsea (Premier League)	£30	66+ £23.50, under-23 £28, under-20 £23.50
Aston Villa (Premier League)	£30	66+ £29.50, under-23 £29.50, under-18 £26.50, under-14 £16.50
Fulham (League Cup)	£25	65+ £20, 18 to 21 £20, under-17 £10
Beşiktaş (Europa League)	£25	£25 for all ages

All prices are taken from the sales notices for each match between September and November 2026. Cup and European ties sit outside the £30 cap, so their prices are set match by match. For the full spread of top-flight dates beyond Palace's own, 1BoxOffice lists Premier League tickets for every club.

Which Trips Sell Out and Which Still Reach Newer Members

Demand depends on distance, rivalry and the size of the away end. At grounds holding 30,000 or more, Premier League rules give visiting clubs a minimum of 3,000 tickets, while smaller grounds offer proportionally fewer, so a short trip to a compact stadium can be harder to get than a long one to a large one.

Type of trip	2025/26 and 2026/27 evidence	Demand
Brighton, the M23 derby	Sold out in every season reviewed, waiting list limited to 3,000+ points	Highest
London derbies	Tottenham and Chelsea sold out in 2026/27, West Ham sold out in September 2025	Very high
Short trips and new grounds	Coventry sold out in November 2026	High
Midlands and northern grounds	Aston Villa still on sale after the no-points window was announced, Newcastle in 2025/26 started at the 3,000+ window	Moderate
European aways	11,000+ windows sold out for high-demand trips, others reached later windows	Varies by destination

The November batch shows the split clearly. Chelsea vs Crystal Palace on 2 December and Coventry City vs Crystal Palace on 21 November both sold out in the points windows. Aston Villa vs Crystal Palace on 5 December was still on sale when the later windows were announced, and Villa Park is allocating seats front to back on a best-available basis because of building work around the away end.

If you hold few points, plan your season around the longer trips. A Saturday at Villa Park, St James' Park or the City Ground is a realistic first away day, and every attendance builds the record that eventually opens the bigger matches.

Europa League Away Trips in 2026/27

Palace are in the Europa League league phase this season after beating Rayo Vallecano 1-0 in the 2026 Conference League final in Leipzig. Their four league-phase away trips are Lyon, Jagiellonia, Beşiktaş and Salzburg, with Salzburg vs Crystal Palace on 28 January 2027 the last of them.

European sales this season have used the same points-based windows as league matches, but the rules in the notices so far have been stricter.

• Allocations are separate: around 2,100 Palace supporters were placed in the upper tier for Beşiktaş in October 2026.
• Tickets for Beşiktaş were PDFs to print at home rather than wallet passes, with unreserved seats inside the block printed on the ticket.
• Under the Beşiktaş notice, transferring a ticket bans you from future European sales, and the club checks every entry after the match.
• Supporters who buy and do not attend may be blocked from future European tickets.
• Cancellations close on a set date well before the match, and the club offers a hotel and meal package that does not include travel.

Points do not guarantee a seat on the high-demand trips either. Minutes from the club's Fan Advisory Board record supporters with high points totals disappointed at missing out when the European sales opened at 11,000 points. For the rest of the competition, 1BoxOffice lists Europa League tickets across the league phase and knockout rounds.

League Cup Trips After the Fulham Win

Palace's League Cup tie at Fulham on 28 October 2026 went through the full points ladder and sold out. Fulham set the price at £25 for adults, with £20 for over-65s and 18 to 21s and £10 for under-17s, a reminder that the £30 league cap does not apply to cup matches.

The win at Craven Cottage keeps Palace in the competition, and later rounds tend to bring shorter notice periods because the draw comes only a few weeks before the tie. Points for cup aways are added once the match has been played rather than at purchase. For every remaining tie in the competition, 1BoxOffice lists EFL Cup tickets by round.

When the FA Cup Draw Lands

Palace enter the FA Cup in the third round in January 2027, and no away sales notice exists yet because the opponent is not known. Expect a points-based sale similar to the league notices, a short gap between the draw and the sale and prices set by the home club rather than the league cap.

Cup rules can work in a travelling fan's favour. FA Cup visitors can claim up to 15% of a ground's capacity, more than the league minimum at many stadiums, so a draw at a large ground can bring a bigger away allocation, subject to that ground's capacity and segregation arrangements. Keep an eye on FA Cup tickets once the third-round ties are confirmed.

Digital Tickets, Refunds and Transfers

Domestic away tickets are delivered to Apple or Google Wallet, with links emailed to the named holder. Supporters who cannot use a digital ticket can contact the Box Office with their client reference and seat details to arrange collection at the ground.

• Refunds are processed only up to 72 hours before kick-off in the 2026/27 notices, compared with 24 hours on 2025/26 notices such as Newcastle away.
• Ticket links are sent after the refund window closes, so a ticket arriving late in the week is normal.
• Away tickets are non-transferable, and anyone found passing one on is banned from buying future away tickets.
• Palace have no exchange for away tickets: the club's resale scheme covers home Season Ticket seats only.

A spare ticket you can no longer use should go back to the club before the refund deadline. That keeps your record clean and passes the seat to the next supporter on the waiting list.

Coaches From Selhurst Park

The club runs supporters' coaches from Selhurst Park, and from November 2026 it is trialling Lucketts Coach Travel as the operator for the Coventry, Chelsea and Aston Villa trips. Earlier in the season, coaches to Tottenham and Brighton cost £30 a seat.

Trip	Coaches	Departure	Price per seat
Coventry City	3	08:30	£39
Chelsea	1	15:30	£25
Aston Villa	3	08:30	£39

Seats can be booked online with Lucketts or by phone on 01329 823755, which the club recommends for anyone with accessibility needs. Pick-up is from Selhurst Park only, and under-16s must travel with an adult. Whether Lucketts continues after the trial is still to be confirmed, so check each new sales notice for the operator.

Palace Away Matches Still to Come

Beyond the November batch, these are the Premier League away matches listed on 1BoxOffice. Dates can move for television, and the points column follows the club's published loyalty list.

Date	Match	Ground	Points for attending
20 Dec 2026	Sunderland vs Crystal Palace	Stadium of Light	Added after the match
2 Jan 2027	Brentford vs Crystal Palace	Gtech Community Stadium	20
16 Jan 2027	Liverpool vs Crystal Palace	Anfield	20
30 Jan 2027	Hull City vs Crystal Palace	MKM Stadium	Added after the match
20 Feb 2027	Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace	Vitality Stadium	Added after the match
3 Mar 2027	Arsenal vs Crystal Palace	Emirates Stadium	20
17 Apr 2027	Manchester City vs Crystal Palace	Etihad Stadium	Added after the match
24 Apr 2027	Manchester United vs Crystal Palace	Old Trafford	20
8 May 2027	Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace	City Ground	Added after the match
23 May 2027	Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace	St James' Park	Added after the match

The four trips on the 20-point list (Brentford, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United) are London or big-club grounds, so expect them to sell out in the points windows. Bournemouth's small ground means a much smaller away end than the northern trips, so expect it to go quickly too.

Resale and the Law: What Buyers Should Know

This is general guidance, not legal advice. Section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 makes it an offence for anyone not authorised in writing by the organisers of the match to sell or otherwise dispose of a ticket for a designated football match. The words covering other disposals were added by the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, the offence covers online sales and it applies to most professional matches in England and Wales. A conviction carries a fine at level 5 on the standard scale, which for offences in England and Wales is now unlimited.

The offence falls on the person selling or passing on the ticket, so unauthorised resale can be a crime for the seller. Buying is not itself a Section 166 offence, but a Palace away-end ticket is named to the original holder, so a buyer risks cancellation, refusal at the turnstile or removal from the ground, and the original holder risks a ban. Host clubs may refuse entry to or remove visiting supporters found in home areas: Manchester City, for one, runs a zero-tolerance policy on away fans in home stands.

Before paying for any resale seat at an away ground, run through these checks:

• Confirm whether the seat is in the away end or a home section, because admission to home areas is subject to the host club's segregation rules.
• Ask whether the ticket is named, and to whom, because a name mismatch can stop you at the turnstile.
• Check how and when the ticket will reach you, since Palace's 2026/27 notices send wallet passes for the away end only after the refund window closes 72 hours before kick-off.
• Read what the seller covers if the ticket does not arrive or does not admit you.
• Be wary of any price far above the £30 face value of a Premier League away ticket.

Buying a Seat for a Palace Away Match on 1BoxOffice

When the points windows sell out before yours, some supporters look at resale. For designated matches covered by Section 166, resale is only lawful where the seller is authorised in writing by the match organisers, and other local laws can apply to matches abroad. Even then a buyer can face cancellation or refusal at the turnstile, so apply the checks above first. 1BoxOffice is an independent marketplace with no link to Palace's away allocation, so check the section shown on every listing before you pay.

The 1BoxOffice 150% Money Back Guarantee covers delivery: if tickets do not arrive and no alternative is offered, you are entitled to a full refund, and on top of that you may be offered a discretionary goodwill credit voucher worth 50% of the order value, excluding service fees and taxes and capped at £125. The published terms treat other cases separately. A ticket confirmed as invalid is refunded at its original face value excluding service fees, while refusal of entry by the venue or organiser falls outside refunds and compensation.

Following Palace From the UAE and Abroad

Every sales window runs on UK time. In winter 10:00 in London is 14:00 in the UAE, and from late March, when the UK moves to British Summer Time, the same window opens at 13:00 UAE time. Windows two hours apart can sell out in one afternoon, so set reminders for each one you qualify for.

International Membership (£35, or £45 with the welcome pack) brings 200 points and priority on one home league match, but it gives no away advantage beyond those points. An overseas supporter who wants a real chance at away tickets is better served by Gold, which adds the ballot, though a welcome pack posted abroad can take up to 15 days to arrive. Points need a client reference number, so set one up before your first purchase of any kind.
