Crystal Palace face rivals Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, October 18, with kick-off scheduled for 14:00 BST. Supporters attending the fixture are advised to review the latest matchday information before travelling.
All tickets will display the supporter’s name, with identification checks taking place before entry through the turnstiles. The name on the ID must match the ticket, while tickets for the fixture are digital and should be downloaded to an Apple or Google Wallet. Turnstiles are due to open at 12:00 BST, two hours before kick-off.
Palace fans should also note that bags larger than A4 size are not permitted. Solid containers and flasks are prohibited, while only clear plastic bottles of 500ml or less will be accepted, with tops removed at the entrance. The Amex is entirely smoke-free, including electronic cigarettes, and supporters may be asked to remove hats, hoods or other items covering their faces when entering.
Brighton will introduce safety measures after the final whistle. Visiting supporters could be asked to remain in the concourse, while those leaving for the coach park, park-and-ride services or car parks will be directed clockwise. Coach departures are expected to be around 15 minutes later than usual.
A dedicated train service for visiting supporters will run from Falmer Station, with fans escorted there in time for departure. The train will stop at Three Bridges, East Croydon, Clapham Junction and London Victoria, providing a route back towards South London. Brighton’s stated 2026/27 travel scheme also offers free bus and train travel within the relevant Travel Zone for Premier League match ticket holders, from three-and-a-half hours before kick-off until three-and-a-half hours after the final whistle, subject to the scheme’s conditions.
Supporters are reminded to travel only with a valid match ticket, remain off the pitch and treat fellow fans, stewards and players with respect. Harassment and discriminatory behaviour will not be tolerated, while Brighton operates a zero-tolerance policy on drugs and pyrotechnics. Incidents can be reported via the club’s anti-social text abuse line on 07880 196442.
