Title: Palace away
Post by: QuintonVilla on July 30, 2019, 11:18:34 AM
Tickets were meant to go on sale this evening but have been delayed until later this week due to Palace not confirming allocation or prices for some reason. I saw they only gave Everton 2600 and then gave them an extra 350 when they'd sold out. Surely makes sense to just give us the 2900-3000 outright.

Their capacity is 26,000 so they only need give away fans 2,600.  I suspect they wait and see if their own fans are going to take up the extra tickets and if not, they pass them onto the away club.

Depends on how easy it is to segregate it so that you can get extra Palace fans in I suppose.

Will all settle down after a few defeats away then the likes of Norwich Sunday lunch or Newcastle Monday night will not be as attractive

Are we playing Palace twice in 1 day? Pravada seems to think so

Just purchased.

It's a bit annoying that they hold seats back so you have a limited choice.

Can't we just get the full 8k along that stand like in the good old days of Wimbledon being in premier league.

Palace fans will surely be boycotting at having as things stand have to sit through Benteke-Ayew strike partnership for whole season.

I was watching The Misadventures Of Romesh Ranganathan on BBC2 last night. His driver/guide got them lost in the middle of nowhere in Mongolia. It reminded me of every time I have been lost trying to find Selhurst Park.

If it goes to STH’s you can have mine - it’s the wife’s birthday and I suspect taking her to Selhurst may not be too popular - see how it goes and PM me if so.

Still around 200 left apparently. Very surprised it's got down to just season ticket holders again this evening.

I'm hoping they have got rid of the rusting away seat supports at the front by now.

Was there when Petrov equalised to force a replay in the cup and some lads jumped on the seats and took the row out!

Likewise - in the probably unlikely event a spare comes up for this, I'll gladly take it off someone's hands.

I have a spare ticket as now can't make the game. Can meet on Friday night or give to a friend to meet you on the day.

I am looking for one ticket for Saturday. Thanks to those who have tried to help already. Am a member of London Lions but only 6 tickets allocated to the club and I was unlucky in the draw for club members.

I live in London so can meet to pick up ticket and happy to transfer money in advance.

Cheers,

Pat

Got a ticket sitting on my hands in the Palace end.

So next big question. Where do away fans usually booze pre-match?

I live nearby, but as far as I’m concerned the surrounding area is a bit of a desert for pubs fit for humanity.

In the past I’ve joined Palace chums in their “special” places!

I’m driving on Saturday for the first time (always got the coach or train to Selhurst Park previously).

Does anyone have any tips for parking? Is it worth trying to park near the ground (I don’t mind a bit of a walk) or is it best to park at a station and get the train in?

Thanks
Title: Re: Palace away
Post by: Sdwbvf on August 29, 2019, 11:36:07 PM
I don't know much about parking near the ground, but living in the borough I wouldn't do it. My advice is to park at Reedham station (just over 2 quid for 24 hours ringgo accepted). It is just off the A23 by Purley fire station. Or if there is a space round the corner on Old Lodge Lane past the railway bridges on the left - free. I park there if I am too lazy to walk.

Train to Norwood Junction at 15 and 45 past each hour, takes about 20 minutes. Use contactless on the oyster machines to pay. There are possibly options closer the ground or with more trains but that's what I would do.

Wish I could have got a ticket - it's my closest away game.
