Any idea when tickets are on sale for Palace? I'm looking to get hold of quite a few.
God knows why, I've never ever seen us win there. Last time I went I think big fat Jon Hartson scored a late equaliser for Wimbledon. And Robbo1874 nearly got bummed by rugger buggers when they caught him nicking their buffet in a pub after the game. They should have said if it was a private function.....
Thanks
-
Away tickets normally go on sale about 6 weeks before the game so I presume it'll be in the next week or so.

Ta, hoping to get some too. I've only been there once and Wimbledon got a late equaliser. It may have been the same game Chico?
It would have been their last home game in the top flight I think.

Think I'll go to this...you haven't lived if you haven't experienced Selhurst Park once in your life I reckon!
Had a look on Palace's website and we're a Cat B game unsurprisingly so think it's 32 quid which isn't too bad for a London away day.
-
Anyone know how many we'll get/if it's likely to sell out. Really keen to take my 2 boys who haven't seen us win yet.
-
About 3k, Wimbledon used to give the whole stand I think which was 6k.

The first time I went to Selhurst Park Charlton beat us 3-0 to as good as relegate us and the last time I went Wimbledon knocked us out of the FA Cup on penalties. All of the games I went to there inbetween produced one win. The Dalian umbrella game.
-

Knowing us we'll ask for 1,300 two weeks before the game and won't take a second allocation for fear of not selling out on time.
On a serious note I think it's 2,200.
Ade, there's one here if you need it.
-
2,600 it is.
-
Its looking ever more likely that we will have to make a great expedition down to Palace again next year too, as Pulis seems to have sorted them out.

£32 isn't too bad I guess, given its £46 at Old Trafford!

That's pretty reasonable.
-
Hotel prices in the area aren't too bad either.
I might go straight from work on the Friday and take in the glorious site of Croydon on the Saturday morning
-
I don't normally ask but if anyone has 3 refs I can use I'd be eternally grateful.
Cheers

Pub recommendations please. You know those 'cracking boozer, full of Villa' ones? Not those.
-
What's wrong with Villa fans?
-
What's wrong with Villa fans?
I think he means those pubs near the ground which are rammed with Villa, where it takes an age to get served and the crap beer is in plastic glasses. I don't think he means Villa fans in general.
-
And probably where it's our 18 year old chavy supporters, rather than the normal ones.
-
What was wrong with going to the Villa when you were 18 and having a drink with your mates?
-
What was wrong with going to the Villa when you were 18 and having a drink with your mates?
Absolutely nothing. As we get older though some of us prefer to go to a pub where we can get served, in glass glasses and hopefully a choice of beers for the more discerning in the group.
-
When I was 18 I liked to go to pubs full of Villa fans singing loudly.
I'm older now and avoid these pubs as I want to get served and can't be bothered to sing songs about *insert place name* being a shithole.
-

I have not been there for a while but the Railway Telegraph about a 100 yards down from Thornton Heath station was, and hopefully still is, excellent and serves a good pint of Youngs.
-
Still no luck in my search for tickets, come on, think of the children (!)
-

Think I'm going to drink in the George Inn in London Bridge and then get the train to Norwood Junction.
-
I don't mind being in a pub full of Villa every now and again. The one at Norwich next to the river is normally ok.
-
What's wrong with Villa fans?
Common as muck, the lot of you.
-
I have two spare refs that can be used from tomorrow (thursday) if anybody needs them.
-
Booked hotel for the weekend of the Palace game. We're right next to Monument, which is only a stop (and a trip across the Thames) to London Bridge and the from there it's only about a 13 minute ride to Norwood Junction, splendiferous.
The only thing that can spoil the weekend is Villa ;)
-

It's a 2 minute walk over London Bridge from Monument to London Bridge station. Just follow the Shard....
-
But will I be able to find the George Inn from there? :P
-
But will I be able to fine the George Inn from there? :P
In Borough? yep, easy walk from Monument
-
Does look like an easy walk on Google. Thanks Chico.
Just rang Villa up as they have charged me for 3 tickets but I only wanted 2. Unfortunately they have already sent the tickets out so I need to take 1 back to the ticket office to get the £32 refund.
Is there anyone who wants 1 ticket for Palace away who will pay me £32 for it? Saves you a booking fee.
If the tickets arrive by Saturday I can meet outside the ground before the Chelsea game?

If Dante doesn't want it, I'll have it please.

I've sent Dante a pm and a text.

Okay DC5, waiting to see what Dante says.

I find our away support quite hard to work out times
..a few weeks back we struggled to shift 1800 tickets for Everton, one of the easier away games to get to, and then we sell out 2600 at Palace 4 weeks in advance.
-
Fuck it

Go to a game in London, particularly sahf of the rivva, and see how many of our supporters are local. With my purely commercial head on, I know I'll shift three or four times as many H&Vs at Palace as I would at Everton.
-
Fook I didn't think these would sell out so quick.
Anyone who's got a spare still other than AD (as others are ahead of me in that queue) a PM would be gratefully received!
-
Can we request a further allocation?

We also seem to have a better away support during school holidays. e.g. Good sales for Newcastle at the end of Feb half-term and the Palace game is the day after schools break up for Easter.

On the hunt for any Palace spares. SoccerHQ above is ahead of me in the queue.

Have sold my ticket to Dave Clark Five

Jesus, didn't think these would sell out so quickly! :-X As you can tell by my username Palace is the closest I get to go and see Villa unless we draw Charlton in the Cup anytime soon. Went to Palace Leicester last season and it's a good ground.
Any spares floating about let me know.

Still on the hunt for Palace spares

My one memory of my first time at Palace was my brother parking in front of a disused looking garage up a side road not far from the ground. We looked through the window, saw that it seemed like no-one had used it in years and decided it would be ok. On our return, we found a very irate cockney yelling at people walking past him before turning to us and telling us that we had been parked in front of his 'facking garage' all 'facking afternoon'. He was still ranting and raving whilst we were offering our apologies but that fact that every other word was 'facking' made it very amusing. His parting words were 'I've rang the police and they've been round and took your registration number so chew on that on your way back to brum yer cants'. Oh how we laughed.
-
Have sold my ticket to Dave Clark Five
Do they still play Glad All Over by the Dave Clark Five at Selhurst Park when they walk out?

Yes. We get more in the way of royalties when they score.

Only trip there was the day we beat wimbledon 3-2 and dalians scored that goal - and no it wasn't me with the brolly !

Froggatt was superb that day too.
Horrible long journey there :(

Received match tickets but no coach tickets yet - anyone the same?
-
Another one here who'd like a ticket for the Palace game please. I live less than a mile from Selhurst Park now. First time I've ever lived within comfortable walking distance of a professional club ground...please message me if one comes up...
-
Does Palace have a neutral end ? Seems the type of place that may ?
-

No they don't and I don't reckon you'll get one in their end, especially after today.
-
After today I wouldn't want one. Can't wait any more money on these Spazzys

Not a nice term you've used there, don't use it again please.

I havent receieved my match tickets. Club think they sent them two weeks ago. So I'm on the duplicate list. Idiots!!
-
Have match tickets and getting the train rather than coach, so not waiting for them.
If it helps the club sent me 3 tickets when I asked for 2! (sold the extra one).

Ha, You've probably got mine! Spoke to an arrogant kid in the ticket office. Blamed my postal address because I live in an Apartment Complex. When I advised him I go to 90% of aways and never have a problem he was stil obnoxious. Just makes it even more annoying that Sellhurst is a nightmare to get too, so to go the ticket office makes it even more annoying.
-
I saw that they'd charged me for 3 tickets. Rang them up and said that I'd only ordered 2. He said "I can see that you've only ordered 2, but then there's another charge for a 3rd ticket (and it came separately from the other 2). Don't worry, you're still in time to return it, the deadline isn't up yet".
Cheers! I should think so too. :)
-
How do we find out if there are returns to be resold and do they sell them in priority order again?

You keep ringing up, better still going to the ticket office. I would imagine there will be a handful get taken back on Saturday.
-
Cheers, I'll try that.
-
I've got one spare ticket face value £34.00 as mate just dropped out(nothing to do with todays shambles but couldn't blame him!) First come first served.
-
Hi villan 3791, just pm'd you regarding spare. Will gladly take it if still available.
-
I've got 1 spare for Saturday. First regular H&V poster to pm me can have it. Face value - £32.

I'm going Sat to watch our Selhurst nightmare continue....
-

We never win there. I am going too.
Maybe we should just accept the loss and listen in to the Fulham - Norwich game which is more important.

My thoughts exactly (The George Inn), just hoping it's not full of Millwall fans
-
I'll be there too. I'm not feeling overly optimistic if i'm honest.
-
I have a spare ticket if anyone wants one.
-
Emailed you, Pete3206.
-
If you're reading this and you don't live in London... if you haven't set out yet, you're going to miss the kick-off.
-
I've still got a spare if anyone's interested. If it helps to sell it, the ticket isn't next to mine so you won't have to suffer me for 90 mins...

I have two tickets for Palace - Face Value £32 each. PM if you want them.

PM sent - are they together?

Are those spare tickets till going? After one in all honesty for a friend who's just got early leave. He's a ST but only just found out he's off.
-

Hence why I'm spending Friday night in delightful Croydon and then having a leisurely stroll to the ground on Saturday.
Feck knows what time I'll get home though.
