Buy Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium hosting this Premier League fixture on Saturday 31 October 2026 at 17:00 local time. It is a London derby in a Saturday teatime slot at a ground built for exactly this kind of evening.

Crystal Palace hold a place in this stadium's history that no other visiting club can claim. They were the opponents on 3 April 2019 for the first competitive match ever played here, losing 2-0 in front of a full house on the night the ground opened. Every Palace visit since has carried that footnote with it.
The recent record has turned, though. Tottenham won the first six meetings at this ground without conceding much at all, then Palace took the last two, winning 2-0 in May 2025 and 3-1 in March 2026. Anyone comparing Tottenham Hotspur tickets across the home calendar is looking at a fixture that has stopped being a formality.
On paper this is a mid-table London derby in late October. In practice three separate things are pushing demand at it. None of them show up in a league table.
The first is Palace's trajectory. They won the FA Cup in May 2025, beating Manchester City in the final, then won the Conference League in 2026 with a 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano, so they arrive in north London as a club with two trophies inside eighteen months and a Europa League campaign running alongside the league. Tottenham, having won the Europa League themselves in 2025, are out of European competition entirely this season. That inverts the usual pecking order for this fixture.
The second is capacity behaviour. The ground holds a little over 62,000 and season tickets absorb the overwhelming majority of it, which leaves a general sale window that is thin by definition rather than by demand. A 62,000-seat stadium sounds like easy availability until you subtract the permanent holders.
The third is the slot. Saturday 17:00 is a broadcast pick, which draws the neutral audience and the day-trip audience in a way a Sunday lunchtime does not. Buyers tracking Crystal Palace tickets for away trips will find this one of the tighter allocations of the season, because Palace supporters travel well across London and the visiting section here is not large relative to the bowl.
There is a fourth factor worth naming plainly. With no European fixtures at this ground in 2026/27, the total number of matchdays available to buyers has dropped compared with recent seasons. Fewer events at the same stadium concentrates demand onto each league fixture, with the derbies feeling it first.
Yes, but the route is narrow. Tottenham operate a paid membership structure that sits between season ticket holders and the general public, so the sequence in front of you has more steps than at most Premier League clubs.
Season ticket holders take their seats first. What remains passes through membership tiers in order of seniority, with the longest-standing members getting first look, before anything reaches a public window. On a Saturday teatime London derby, very little reaches that public window and what does tends to be single seats scattered around the bowl.
That scattering is the practical problem. Two people can usually find something. Four people wanting to sit together in one block, in a stand they have chosen rather than one they have been given, are working against the way the release sequence distributes leftovers.
The marketplace exists for that gap. Groups who need adjacent seats, visitors building a London weekend around one match, supporters whose membership tier did not reach the front of the queue. 1BoxOffice lists inventory from verified sellers across every level of the ground, which changes the question from whether you can get in to where you want to sit.
Five things set the price here. The level of the bowl, how close the seat sits to the halfway line, the Saturday teatime broadcast slot, the derby context in a season with no European fixtures competing for the same wallets, plus whether the seat carries a premium or hospitality entitlement. The dominant factor at this ground is vertical position: the difference between the upper tier behind a goal and the middle tier at the halfway line is larger here than at most English stadiums, because the bowl is steep and tall.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier, corners and behind the goal | £140 – £225 | Buyers who want the occasion at the lowest entry point | The steepest seats in the ground. High and distant, but the pitch reads clearly from every one of them |
| South Stand single tier | £170 – £280 | Supporters who want the noise | 17,500 places in one unbroken bank behind the goal, the largest single tier of seating in the UK |
| Lower tier, side-on | £220 – £360 | First visits and families | Close to the pitch with the fastest concourse access. Sightlines flatten slightly in the front rows |
| Middle tier, halfway line | £320 – £520 | Buyers who want the view rather than the atmosphere | The elevation the ground was designed around. Full pitch, both boxes, no compromise |
| Premium seating and hospitality | £500 – £1,400+ | Corporate guests and once-a-season trips | Concentrated in the West Stand. Tunnel-side and lounge products sit at the top of this range |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The pattern to expect is firm rather than softening. Grounds with surplus inventory see prices fall in the final week; grounds where season tickets take most of the capacity see the opposite, because the pool never grows. Treat a London derby in a broadcast slot as a buy-early fixture rather than one to gamble on.
The ground opened in April 2019 on the site of White Hart Lane and was designed with a specific priority: get as many people as close to the pitch as possible, then make the acoustics work. The bowl is unusually steep, the stands are pulled tight to the touchlines, plus there is a retractable pitch underneath the football surface, the first of its kind anywhere, which allows a second synthetic surface to be revealed for other events without wearing out the grass.
Block numbering runs by level rather than by stand, which trips up first-time visitors. Lower tier blocks sit in the 100s, premium and middle tier blocks in the 200s and 400s, with the upper tier in the 500s. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium seating plan is worth reading before you commit, because a block number alone tells you very little about height. Supporters planning more than one visit this season will want the wider Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tickets listings.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Stand, lower rows | Supporters who want the loudest part of the ground | Mid | The home end and the design centrepiece. A single unbroken tier of 17,500, modelled on the standing terraces of German football |
| South Stand, upper rows | Atmosphere with a wider view of the pitch | Mid | Same tier, higher up. You get the noise and a much better read of the shape of the game |
| Upper tier, blocks in the 500s | Value buyers and neutrals | Lower to mid | Steep and high. The rake means nobody in front blocks your view, though the pitch feels a long way down |
| Lower tier, side-on | Families and first visits | Mid to premium | Closest to the action with quick concourse access. The front few rows sit low enough that the far touchline can be obscured |
| Middle tier, halfway line | Buyers prioritising the view | Premium | The elevation most regulars name if money is not the constraint. Both penalty areas visible without turning your head |
| North East corner, visiting sector | Crystal Palace supporters | Fixed away pricing | Around 3,000 places split across levels in the corner. Home colours are not worn here, nor visiting colours in home blocks |
For a first visit, the honest recommendation is the upper rows of the South Stand. It is the part of the ground the stadium was built around, it is loud without being uncomfortable, then you get a proper view of the shape of the game rather than a flat one from pitch level. Anyone bringing children or wanting a quieter afternoon should take the lower tier along the side instead.
Comfort inside the ground is a genuine differentiator. There are roughly 60 food and drink outlets across the concourses plus a microbrewery on site, which is why the pre-match crowd tends to be inside the ground earlier than at older English stadiums. Late October at 17:00 means the second half is played under lights. Every seat is covered, though the open corners catch the wind, so dress for an evening rather than an afternoon.
Hospitality here is not a single product bolted onto a stand. The West Stand carries several distinct tiers, ranging from a padded seat with lounge access through to tunnel-side viewing. These spaces were built into the design rather than retrofitted. That matters because the quality gap between the entry hospitality product and the top one is wider than at most grounds.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seat with lounge access | Couples and small groups upgrading a normal matchday | Padded seating in the West Stand plus an indoor base before kick-off and at half time, with no concourse queue |
| Restaurant package | Visitors making the match the centrepiece of a day in London | Seated dining ahead of the game, table service, an unhurried arrival |
| Tunnel-side experience | Supporters who want proximity rather than elevation | Viewing access at pitch level where the players pass through, which no ordinary seat offers |
| Private box | Companies hosting clients or families marking an occasion | A self-contained room with its own viewing seats, catering and privacy for the group |
The practical case for hospitality at this ground is the exit rather than the entry. Sixty-two thousand people leaving a north London site served mainly by two overground stations creates a long queue on the platforms for half an hour after the whistle. A package that keeps you inside past that window converts dead time into something useful.
There is a supply point too. With no European fixtures at this stadium in 2026/27, the number of matchdays on which hospitality can be sold has fallen, so the same corporate demand is chasing fewer dates. Book earlier than you would in a season with continental football attached.
Entry runs on digital ticketing through barcoded turnstiles, with each stand served by its own gates, so the entrance printed on your ticket determines which side of the ground you walk to. The stadium was designed for fast ingress and it works, provided you arrive at the right side.
| Delivery Type | What to Look For |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer to a wallet | The standard route for Premier League fixtures. Confirm the listing states holder details can be updated to yours before you buy |
| Electronic ticket by email | Keep a clear offline copy. Screenshots of barcodes sometimes fail at electronic turnstiles |
| Collection in London | Handover at an agreed point on matchday. Allow time, since the streets around the ground fill from two hours before kick-off |
| Courier delivery | Less common now. If offered, confirm the delivery window sits comfortably ahead of your travel dates |
Read the listing notes before buying rather than after. They tell you whether seats are together, whether holder details can be changed, whether the block carries a restriction. At this ground the note worth reading twice is the level, since a 500-block and a 100-block at the same nominal price are very different purchases.
Travel is straightforward if you pick the right station. White Hart Lane is the closest and the quickest, roughly a five-minute walk, served from Liverpool Street. Northumberland Park sits five to ten minutes away on foot. Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters are both around twenty-five minutes on foot, which makes them the fallback when the closer stations are managing crowds.
Driving is the weakest option here. The area operates a Controlled Parking Zone on matchdays, so residential streets are closed to visitors and you need a pre-booked space. Local schools and the nearby hospital release matchday spaces at set prices, most of them a ten to twenty minute walk from the turnstiles, but they go early and none of them solve the problem of leaving afterwards.
1BoxOffice has operated as a verified marketplace since 2006 and every order carries a 150% money-back guarantee, so the sequence below is the whole of it.
Step1
Open the fixture listing
Go to the Tottenham versus Crystal Palace listing and confirm the date reads 31 October 2026, so you are looking at inventory for this round rather than another fixture at the same ground.
Step2
Set up your details
You can create an account in under a minute. It stores the details sellers need so delivery can be handled without a second round of messages.
Step3
Filter by quantity first
Set the number of seats before anything else. At a ground where season tickets absorb most of the capacity, the listings that release as pairs or fours go fastest, so filtering by price first hides what groups actually need.
Step4
Pick your level before your stand
Height matters more than compass direction here. Decide between the 500s for value, the South Stand for noise, the middle tier for the view, then compare prices within that choice.
Step5
Read the listing notes
Seats together, holder name rules, delivery method and level all sit in the notes. Two listings at the same price can be very different purchases.
Step6
Confirm the total
The figure at the final stage includes fees and delivery. Compare that number across listings rather than the headline price shown in the grid.
Step7
Complete the purchase
Payment is processed securely and your confirmation arrives by email straight away with the seller's delivery timeline attached.
Step8
Follow your order
Use track order to see delivery status at any point. Premier League tickets often land in the week of the fixture rather than immediately after purchase.
Overseas buyers should favour mobile transfer or electronic delivery over anything needing collection in London. Digital tickets reach you wherever you are, which removes the main failure point for a trip built around one fixture. If a listing offers collection only, confirm the handover point and window before booking travel around it.
Groups should request seats together at the point of purchase rather than assuming it, then supply full holder names early where the listing asks for them. Premier League kick-off times move for broadcast, sometimes confirmed only weeks ahead, so leave a night either side of 31 October rather than booking a return flight for that evening. All the London airports connect to the centre inside an hour, with Stansted and Luton the closest to north London by rail, while the ground itself is around thirty minutes from central London on the overground.
Every visiting club has a first match at a new stadium. Crystal Palace have the actual first match at this one. On 3 April 2019 they walked out for the opening competitive fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a Premier League match played in front of a capacity crowd, then lost 2-0. That is a permanent piece of the ground's record and it belongs to Palace whether they wanted it or not.
What followed was one-sided. Tottenham won the first six meetings here, five of them by two goals or more, including a 4-0 in September 2019 and a 4-1 in March 2021. Across those six matches Palace scored twice in total. For a London derby played every season, that is an unusually flat run.
The last two have rewritten it. In May 2025 Palace won 2-0 at this ground, days before they lifted the FA Cup, then in March 2026 they came back and won 3-1. Two away wins in a row at a stadium where they had previously taken nothing, against a Tottenham side that has since dropped out of European competition while Palace have added the Conference League and a Europa League place.
That is the tension the fixture now carries. The historical record at this ground says Tottenham dominate it. The last eighteen months say the opposite. Both are true, which is why the 2026/27 meeting is a harder match to price than the raw head-to-head suggests.
For a buyer, the appeal is that neither recent form nor long-run history settles it. A stadium record of six wins in eight for the home side sits directly against a run of two consecutive away wins, which is the sort of contradiction that produces a genuine contest rather than a procession.

Results compiled from the Premier League match archive and worldfootball.net records, cross-referenced against ESPN and contemporary match reporting.
Yes. The first competitive match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was played on 3 April 2019 against Crystal Palace, a Premier League fixture that Tottenham won 2-0.
No, though the queue is long. Season ticket holders take their seats first, then paid membership tiers in order of seniority, with only what survives reaching a public window.
Visiting supporters take around 3,000 places in the North East corner, split across levels. Club colours stay in their own sections on both sides.
The upper rows of the South Stand. It is the single tier the ground was designed around, holding 17,500 in one unbroken bank, plus the height gives you a proper read of the game.
White Hart Lane station is a five-minute walk and the quickest route, with Northumberland Park five to ten minutes away. Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters are roughly twenty-five minutes on foot. Matchday parking needs pre-booking because of the Controlled Parking Zone.
