Selhurst Park could play host to Arsenal lifting the Premier League trophy on the final day.
Crystal Palace host the Gunners on Sunday 24th May – three days before the UEFA Conference League final – with Oliver Glasner expected to play a weakened team.
The nature of the event has many Arsenal fans trying to get into the home sections of Selhurst Park to potentially catch a glimpse of their side lifting the title, offering Crystal Palace supporters hundreds of pounds for tickets.
Now, however, Crystal Palace have taken action to ensure Selhurst Park is not littered with Arsenal fans on the final day.
Who should we be looking to keep around? 📝
Why Arsenal fans will struggle to buy tickets in the home end for Crystal Palace clash
After catching wind of what some Arsenal fans are planning, Crystal Palace – who are trying to hire Andoni Iraola – posted the following statement.
Enhanced security measures will be in operation for this fixture:
- Ticket sharing is disabled
- Any supporter found sharing a ticket will be banned from buying a Season Ticket or Membership next season
- Enhanced security checks will be in place with searches on entry
- Tickets are only available to CPFC accounts registered before 1st December 2025
- Supporters are encouraged to arrive early to ensure smooth entry
So, the only way for Arsenal fans to gatecrash the home sections of Selhurst Park would be for a Crystal Palace supporter to put their own Season Ticket or Membership opportunities at risk for the 2026/27 campaign.
We can certainly understand why some Crystal Palace fans might be tempted to do business with an Arsenal supporter on this occasion – as this European tour has not been cheap by any means.
However – even for a meaningless Premier League game – it feels wrong for fans to actively let the opposition into the home end.
Who do YOU want as the next Crystal Palace boss? 🤔
It could spark fights inside the stadium on the day of the match, and is undoubtedly the sort of thing we would mock Brighton fans for doing were the shoe on the other foot.
