Buy Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match scheduled for Saturday 23 January 2027 at Selhurst Park; the Premier League confirms the final date and kick-off time once broadcast selections are made. Because Palace host Sparta Prague in the Europa League on the Thursday before, this London derby is a strong candidate to move to the Sunday. Either way, it is a Category A fixture at one of the loudest grounds in the country.

Palace go into 2026/27 as a club transformed. Crystal Palace won the FA Cup in 2025 and the Conference League in 2026, and Selhurst Park now hosts European football as well as the Premier League. Tickets for the visit of a big London club are harder than ever to secure.
Tottenham arrive with a strong record at this ground. Spurs have won ten of the 17 Premier League meetings at Selhurst Park, including the most recent in December 2025. Palace have won four, and each of those wins is remembered in south London.
It starts with geography. Tottenham Hotspur are a short journey across London, which means a full away section and plenty of Spurs supporters trying to get into home areas. Palace classify the game as Category A, their top pricing band, alongside the visits of the Premier League's biggest names.
It is a London derby without being Palace's fiercest rivalry. That title belongs to Brighton, but the visit of a big north London club still brings an edge to Selhurst, and Palace supporters relish any chance to beat one of the capital's traditional powers.
Supply at Selhurst is limited. The ground holds just over 25,000, one of the smaller capacities in the Premier League, and season tickets for 2026/27 are sold out. Every other seat goes to members in a strict order before any chance of public sale.
Palace's recent success has pushed demand higher still. Two trophies in two seasons have brought new members and a sold-out season ticket base, and a Category A derby is exactly the kind of game those supporters want to see.
The European calendar adds a twist. Palace play Sparta Prague at home in the Europa League on Thursday 21 January, and many fans are buying for both games. Seats for Crystal Palace vs Sparta Prague and this derby are often bought together, which pulls demand forward for both.
Selhurst's atmosphere is the other draw. The ground is tight and enclosed, the stands sit close to the pitch and the Holmesdale Road End sets the tone from the first minute. For many neutral visitors, a derby here is a more authentic Premier League experience than a trip to one of the league's larger modern stadiums.
Tottenham's own story adds interest. Spurs won the Europa League in 2025 and, after a difficult 2025/26 season, are rebuilding under new leadership. Their supporters travel in large numbers to London grounds, and away tickets for Selhurst are among the most sought-after on their calendar.
Not through the club. Palace require a Season Ticket, Season Ticket+ or Membership to buy home tickets, and general sale is rare outside lower-profile cup games. Membership starts at around £25 for adults, with Gold Membership at around £60 giving better priority.
Membership also brings other benefits, including priority for cup and European games, and an International Membership is available for supporters based abroad at around £35 to £45. For many overseas fans, though, a single match does not justify joining, which is where resale comes in.
For this fixture, the club has published a clear timetable. Gold Members, Junior Gold Members and Season Ticket+ holders get an exclusive 72-hour priority window from 14 December, other members can buy from 17 December and guest tickets become available from 22 December. All phases are subject to availability, and the number of tickets per member can change.
For a Category A game, that sequence usually leaves very little. Gold Members with strong purchase histories tend to take the bulk of the tickets in the first window, and standard members often find only scattered single seats by the time their phase opens.
Adult Category A tickets through the club average around £65, which is why members snap them up and why so few ever reach the public. If you do not hold a membership, the verified resale marketplace is the realistic route. Listings come from sellers who already hold valid tickets, and every order carries protection from purchase to entry.
Tottenham supporters buy through their own club. The away allocation at Selhurst is sold to Spurs season ticket holders and members with loyalty points, and it sells out quickly for a London derby. Spurs fans without enough points often turn to resale, but must follow home-section rules if they sit outside the away end.
Five factors drive resale prices for this match: where you sit, overall demand, how close to the fixture you buy, the stakes in the 2026/27 table by late January and whether you want hospitality. As a Category A London derby at a small ground, this is one of the more expensive home games of Palace's season.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Holmesdale Road and Whitehorse Lane ends | £90 – £150 | Atmosphere on a budget | End-on views; the Holmesdale is the loudest part of the ground |
| Arthur Wait Stand standard | £120 – £200 | Pairs and small groups | Longside view; pillars and the TV gantry affect some rear rows |
| Lower tier central | £150 – £250+ | Buyers who want to be close to the pitch | Low sightlines near the halfway line |
| Main Stand premium | £200 – £320+ | Tactical view and comfort | Near the tunnel and dugouts |
| Hospitality / VIP | £300 – £600+ | Corporate guests and occasions | Restaurants, lounges and executive boxes |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Category matters here. Palace's Category C games against smaller sides average around £50 for adults through the club, while Category A fixtures like this one sit higher. On the resale market that gap widens, because far fewer members are willing to part with a derby seat.
The kick-off decision will move this market. If the game moves to the Sunday after the Europa League fixture, demand for the European game and the derby may overlap, and prices for both tend to firm up. Once the club's member sales open in mid-December, supply thins quickly.
A European double-header also affects price. Visitors who buy for both the Sparta Prague game and the derby often book the same seats for both, so blocks of adjacent seats in popular areas can disappear together. If you want both games, buy early.
Group size matters. Pairs find better-value seats far more easily than groups of four or more, and adjacent blocks in the lower tier or the Main Stand carry a clear premium.
Selhurst Park is a traditional, tightly enclosed ground with four distinct stands. The Holmesdale Road End brings the noise, the Main Stand carries the history and the premium seats, while the Arthur Wait Stand runs along the opposite touchline and houses the away section. Study the Selhurst Park seating plan to see how the blocks sit before you choose.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Holmesdale Road End | Home fans who want to sing and stand | Lower to mid | Two-tiered and home to the loudest support; Palace colours only |
| Main Stand | Buyers who value a central, elevated view | Upper | Houses premium seating, media positions and the tunnel |
| Arthur Wait Stand (home sections) | Pairs and groups seeking better value | Mid | Choose front rows where possible; some rear seats have restricted views |
| Whitehorse Lane Stand | Calmer viewing and families | Lower to mid | Single-tier end with executive boxes above |
| Arthur Wait Stand (away section) | Tottenham supporters in the visiting allocation | Set by the visiting club | Towards the Whitehorse Lane end, entry via turnstiles 4 to 7; Spurs colours only |
| Accessible positions | Wheelchair users and companions | Varies | Arranged through the club's disability liaison team; request early |
Neutral buyers should aim for the Main Stand, the Whitehorse Lane Stand or home sections of the Arthur Wait and avoid wearing either club's colours. If you want to compare availability by area, check tickets at Selhurst Park before committing to a block.
The Main Stand dates from 1924 and was designed by Archibald Leitch, one of the great stadium architects of British football. Its age shows in places, but its central seats still offer one of the most traditional views in the Premier League.
The Holmesdale lower tier is home to the club's most vocal supporters and the drums, flags and constant singing that made Selhurst's atmosphere famous. The upper tier looks down on it and gives a good end-on view with the noise right below you.
Families and first-time visitors often feel most comfortable in the Whitehorse Lane Stand. It is quieter than the Holmesdale, still close to the pitch and generally better value than the Main Stand, which makes it a sensible choice for anyone bringing younger supporters to a derby.
Bear in mind that the Main Stand is in the early phases of a long-planned redevelopment. Matches continue as normal, but some hospitality and service facilities around that side of the ground may operate from temporary spaces while construction progresses.
Palace offer a range of hospitality from restaurant dining to private boxes. For their European home games this season, packages started at £215 plus VAT per person and rose to £2,500 plus VAT for an executive box for ten guests, and Premier League Category A games typically sit above those levels.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Speroni's Restaurant | Couples and first-time hospitality guests | A named restaurant package at the entry price point |
| Legends Restaurant | Supporters who want a relaxed dining experience | Restaurant dining in a mid-priced package |
| The 2010 Club | Premium buyers and special occasions | The top individual package in the published range |
| Executive boxes | Companies hosting clients | A private space for up to ten guests |
Hospitality also suits mixed groups. Guests who are less interested in football still enjoy the food and the setting, and a derby against Spurs gives business entertaining a genuine sense of occasion in south London.
Hospitality for a London derby sells early. Given the limited number of boxes and restaurant places at a ground of this size, corporate buyers should move as soon as they know their dates.
Arrive early if you are booked into hospitality. Dining is the core of each package, and a Saturday or Sunday derby gives time for a relaxed pre-match meal. Smart casual clothing is the safe choice for restaurant packages.
If you buy hospitality on the resale market, confirm the named package, dining times, seat location and arrival instructions. The listing notes are where the detail lives.
Palace sell through their own e-ticketing system, and most tickets now reach supporters in digital form. On the resale market, the delivery method attached to each listing tells you how and when your seats will arrive, so read it before you pay.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile tickets | Which app or account the tickets arrive in and when the transfer happens |
| E-tickets (PDF) | Whether you need to print them and how barcodes are issued |
| Club account transfer | Whether the seller transfers the seat to your own club account and by when |
| Local collection | The meeting point near the ground, the time window and the contact name |
Check the listing notes carefully, bring valid photo ID in case of checks and charge your phone fully for mobile entry. Open live tickets in their app rather than relying on screenshots, since barcodes can refresh.
Arrive at least an hour before kick-off for a derby. Bag searches and ticket checks take longer on busy days, and the streets around the ground fill quickly in the final 30 minutes.
Most fans reach the ground by train. Norwood Junction and Thornton Heath are the usual stations, each around 10 to 15 minutes' walk away, with services from central London. Plan the journey home in advance, as crowds build on the platforms straight after the final whistle.
Segregation is taken seriously for a London derby. If your seat is in a home area, wear neutral clothing or Palace colours only, and expect stewards to move anyone who draws attention to themselves as a visiting fan.

If this date does not suit, the reverse fixture in north London is another option, and Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace seats follow a similar pattern in a much larger stadium.
Overseas visitors can land at Gatwick, Heathrow, London City, Stansted or Luton. Gatwick is the most convenient for south London, with rail connections to East Croydon and on to Norwood Junction or Thornton Heath. Stay in central London or Croydon and allow for a late return after an evening kick-off.
Buyers in the Gulf and wider MENA region should note that London is four hours behind the UAE in January, so a 15:00 kick-off would be 19:00 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Direct flights into Heathrow and Gatwick make a weekend trip realistic, and pairing the derby with the Thursday Europa League game makes for a full football break.
Choosing a base is a trade-off. Central London offers the widest choice of hotels and easy airport links but adds a train ride of 20 to 30 minutes each way. Croydon is closer to the ground and usually more affordable, though it has less to offer on the days either side of the match.
Ordering from abroad is simplest with mobile or e-ticket delivery, so nothing depends on the post. Groups should request seats together at checkout and buy in one order. Premier League games can move within the weekend for broadcast reasons, so avoid non-refundable travel with tight connections.
Winter weather in London is usually cold and damp in January, and the walk from the station to the ground is exposed in places. A warm, waterproof layer makes the day far more comfortable, especially for those seated near the front of the lower tier.
Travelling Spurs supporters should know that the away allocation is distributed by their own club. Anyone sitting in a home area must follow home-section rules: no Spurs colours, flags or songs.
For most of the Premier League era, Selhurst Park has been a productive trip for Tottenham. Spurs won the first Premier League meeting here 3-1 in January 1993 and repeated that score in 1998. After Palace returned to the top flight in 2013, Spurs won four in a row at Selhurst between January 2016 and November 2018, most of them by a single goal.
Palace's wins have tended to be emphatic. They beat Spurs 3-0 in January 2005, won 2-1 in January 2015, won 3-0 again in September 2021 and edged a 1-0 win in October 2024. Tottenham's 4-0 win in January 2023 remains the heaviest result in the fixture at this ground.
Two meetings stand out for odd reasons. When Palace returned to the Premier League in 2013, their first game back was against Spurs at Selhurst on the opening day, a 1-0 defeat. The July 2020 meeting, a 1-1 draw, was played behind closed doors at the end of the season disrupted by the pandemic.
What makes the fixture distinctive is the contrast in how the results arrive. Spurs grind out narrow wins, while Palace's victories tend to come in bursts that the Holmesdale remembers for years. That unpredictability keeps demand high every time Tottenham come to south London.

Recent form is closer than the overall record suggests. Palace have won two of the last five meetings here, in 2021 and 2024, while Spurs took the other three. For a buyer, that points to a genuinely competitive derby rather than a foregone conclusion.
