Crystal Palace's season ticket value compared to rivals Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and more

Crystal Palace Palace Arsenal Chelsea Tottenham EPL Fulham Manchester United Patrick Vieira Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace season ticket holders received among the best value for money for the amount of goals the Eagles scored at Selhurst Park last season.

Patrick Vieira’s side hit the back of the net 27 times in their 19 Premier League home games last term, with wins against Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United the pick of the bunch.

Palace lost just four times at Selhurst Park in the Premier League and picked up a total of 29 points with seven wins and eight draws. They also conceded just 17 goals at home, a goal difference of plus ten.

To work out the value of each Palace goal, the average season ticket price from last season was divided by the number of times the Eagles scored at Selhurst Park during the 2021/22 campaign. With the average season ticket costing £588, it means fans paid £22 for every goal scored at home last term.

That puts Palace joint-sixth among 19 Premier League clubs, with Brentford’s 22 goals at home also valued at £22. West Ham United, Everton and Chelsea goals at home cost fans £20 each.

Unsurprisingly, title contenders Manchester City and Liverpool top the table. Pep Guardiola’s Premier League champions scored 58 goals at the Etihad Stadium and with seasons tickets priced at an average £665 it means their fans paid just £11 per goal. Liverpool season tickets cost an average £777 last season and fans paid just £16 for each of the 49 goals the Reds scored at Anfield.

At the bottom, Fulham’s 2020/21 relegation campaign saw Scott Parker’s side score just nine goals at Craven Cottage in 19 games. Average season ticket prices at the time were £755, which means Cottagers fans paid £84 for each goal scored.

Palace’s London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur join Fulham in the bottom three of the table, largely owing to their high season ticket prices. The Gunners' average season ticket cost of £1,383, offset against their 34 goals at the Emirates last year, gives their fans a cost of £41 per goal.

Spurs meanwhile, who sacked managed Nuno Espirito Santo midway through the 2021/22 season and replaced him with Antonio Conte, scored 37 times at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Their average season ticket costs £1,416 - the most expensive average in the Premier League - leaving their fans with a cost of £38 per goal.
