Premium Matchdays at Selhurst Park offer a relaxed but first-class experience of south London’s pinnacle of footballing entertainment.
It’s the ultimate way to experience SE25’s iconic atmosphere – all from the best seats in the house, too – but what exactly does a Crystal Palace Premium Matchday entail?
Whether it’s for Christmas, birthdays, client and staff days out, just a gift for friends and family or even a new year celebration, find out below what to expect from a typical day.
But remember, our wide range of lounges and Experiences can be tailored to you, your guests and your requirements – just let us know what you need when you book, and we’ll arrange the rest.
Before we begin, a reminder that there are four experiences available for Premium matchdays at Selhurst Park: Speroni’s Restaurant, Legends Restaurant, The 2010 Club, and our ultimate package: Executive Boxes.

The big matchday has arrived – and so too has your day to savour.
Doors to your Premium Experience open from three hours before kick-off, with food and your all-inclusive drinks available from that time – but you are welcome to arrive whenever suits you.
Head on over to your Experience’s entrance, where your dedicated matchday host awaits. They will welcome you into your lounge, where you can get settled in and enjoy the pre-match build-up.
You’re in, you’re settled. Now, it’s time to enjoy first-class entertainment: first-class dining and drinks, and the chance to mingle with legendary figures from the club’s history.
You’ll begin, perhaps, by browsing our seasonal menus, all curated by our AA Rosette-accredited Head Chef, Will Britton, who carefully designs each course across our lounges using the freshest, locally-sourced ingredients.
Recent menus have included herb crumb plaice with olive crushed potatoes, aubergine cannelloni and a roast chicken supreme, while there are also a range of stunning vegetarian or vegan choices, and complimentary tea and coffee available.
To quench your thirst, you can continue to enjoy all-inclusive drinks right up until kick-off, including our Palace Wine – in white, in red and rosé – handpicked by former co-chairman Stephen Browett, and our hugely popular Palace Ale.
Those in Legends Restaurant and the 2010 Club can also consult their menus for a specially-chosen Drink of the Day.
And in Speroni’s, from an hour before kick-off, you can chance your arm in our pre-match raffle – with signed paraphernalia and once-in-a-lifetime experiences the prizes drawn shortly before the match.
Whatever your needs, our matchday hosts will continue to ensure they are met swiftly and to full satisfaction.
Now, for the real magic: the chance to meet your Palace heroes.
We have some of the biggest names in club history working in our lounges, who will welcome you to your Experience and lend you their thoughts on the big match ahead.
Which Palace fan hasn’t wanted to ask Jim Cannon about his favourite memories from a record-breaking 660 appearances, or John Salako on his heroics in red and blue in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s? How about Vince Hilaire and his ‘Team of the Eighties’ memories?
Others icons involved in recent years include Darren Ambrose, Steve Coppell, Andrew Johnson, Gabor Kiraly, Attilio Lombardo, Clinton Morrison, Keith Millen and Alan Smith – it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rub shoulders with your Palace icons.
Make your Experience that bit more special: Let us know the occasion, and you may just receive a shoutout, or – if time permits – a personal visit from one of your Palace icons.
As kick-off approaches, you can take your seat in either the Directors' Box or Executive Balcony, where you’ll enjoy the best views of the action.
From the best seats in the house, you’ll be able to watch the zenith of domestic English football in style and comfort as the atmosphere of Selhurst Park surrounds you.
Get out of the cold, and back into the entertainment.
Light refreshments are just a moment away in your chosen lounge, and your all-inclusive drinks packages and complimentary teas and coffees continue during the pause in play, fuelling those all-important half-time debates.
Top-up, fill-up and warm-up with ease, before the red-hot action resumes.
With a Premium experience at Selhurst Park, your matchday doesn’t end at the final whistle.
At full-time, you can enjoy further dining and drinks in the comfort of your lounge, as well as expert analysis from club legends.
It’s the perfect post-work entertainment to share with colleagues or clients, friends or family, or just book for yourself to create memories that last a lifetime.
