Crystal Palace have confirmed the route and timings of their FA Cup trophy parade following their victory over Manchester City last Saturday (May 17). The parade will be held on Bank Holiday Monday, May 26, following the football club’s first-ever major trophy in their 120-year history.
Palace announced the date immediately after the win, but have withheld the final details until today (Friday, May 23), as discussions about logistics were being undertaken, the club told MyLondon. The parade will bring a chance for fans to see the heroic players who brought home the trophy in an open-top bus with the FA Cup itself.
Where will the parade be held and full map of route
The parade will be centred around the football club’s stadium, Selhurst Park. The open-top bus parade will transport the players and the trophy down the SE25 streets starting at the top of Whitehorse Lane from 1pm. A full map of the exact route has been shared by the club showing the trophy parade will start at the top of Whitehorse Lane, before turning down Park Road and then along Holmesdale Road and finally going down next to the Main Stand.
The parade itself is expected to take about 45 minutes. The celebrations will then feed into a party on the pitch at Selhurst Park from 2.30pm with live entertainment, special guests, end-of-season awards and a trophy lift or two. You’ll be able to grab a drink and food while at the stadium.
How do I get tickets?
The event will be free but ticketed. Fans can either book standing tickets on the famous Selhurst Park pitch or take their seats in the Main Stand.
Free tickets will be available from 11am today (Friday, May 23) for season ticket holders and members who can book two tickets per Client Reference.
Booking will be open to all at 5pm, including additional tickets for those who have already booked.
