8 May 2025

Crystal Palace’s return to Wembley for our FA Cup Final meeting with Manchester City (17th May, 16:30 BST) is fast approaching – and we can now reveal details of our official Fan Parks on the big day.

BOXPARK Wembley will be the place to party ahead of the game – dedicated as a Palace-only location for matchday.

The venue will be open from 09:00 – 15:45 BST, with tickets priced at £10 for entry. Pre-booked tickets are valid until 12:30.

Pre-booked tickets guarantee you entry until 12:30. From 12:30 onwards, tickets can be purchased on the door on a 1 in 1 out basis.

Please note that, BOXPARK is an FA Cup Final match ticket only entry. Supporters will have to show their match ticket upon entry. BOXPARK will not be screening the match. All those under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian over the age of 25.

Once inside, supporters can expect:

Live DJ and band, building the perfect pre-match atmosphere.
An excellent range of food and drink, offering an incredible street food market experience.
Interviews and appearances from Crystal Palace Legends, CPFCW players and famous fans.
Giveaway items, competitions and games.
& much more to be announced.

BOXPARK will revert to free entry after the game.

Once again, we have also been allocated the Arena Square Fan Zone on the West side of Wembley stadium, perfect for groups and families.

A Palace takeover is expected with a number of activities planned, including mascots Pete and Alice the Eagles; performances the Crystals cheerleaders; facepainters; music & entertainment; an inflatable goal; exclusive giveaways and even a special appearance from Phoenix the Eagle.

A legends Q&A session will also take place, while food and drinks will also be available.

Doors for the Arena Square Fan Zone open at 11:00 BST and close at 16:00.

The Arena Square Fan Zone is free to enter, but you must present your stadium ticket for entry. You will also be subject to a bag check – stadium bag restrictions and regulations apply.

As a reminder to all supporters, street drinking in the areas surrounding Wembley Stadium is not permitted, so a Wembley Fan Zone or local pub is the best place for supporters to go to soak up the pre-match atmosphere.

Please note that anyone without a ticket should not travel to the game. All tickets are strictly non-transferable and are not available to distribute to other supporters.
