Firstly, it's possible that some people were put off by the ticketing fiasco. Secondly, there were major disruptions to main line services passing through Purley and Croydon on Saturday. Thirdly, perhaps a few people are still not comfortable mixing in large crowds.

Or fourthly, Palace want to hide the fact that fans did not get their tickets, and weren't confident they would be able to get in to the ground anyway.

There’s a few factors the game was on tv and the match ticket price was 50 pounds and people don’t want too get COVID

Although not unique to Palace, it is a worry that there are so many empty seats. Although a lot of them are restricted view so I can't really blame people for not wanting to sit there! Hopefully attractive football, and a few points, will draw people back again.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. |

Until I went to the ticket office to renew it with a wad of cash, they had put it up by 60% ! I decided not to bother and haven"t been to a game since, shame really, but greed is greed, as it says on the ticket, its restricted view!

There were a lot of empty seats in the Arthur as well. Palace always make buying tickets difficult but maybe COVID is having an effect.

I suspect that there are some non restrictive view tickets left if you want to go for one of those.
