Palace to face Manchester United in Melbourne as part of landmark pre-season tour

April 1, 2022 11:16 am

Crystal Palace will play Manchester United in Melbourne on Tuesday, 19th July (20:10 AEST / 11:10 am BST) at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Victoria, Australia, which seats 100,000.

The news will be warmly received by the club’s Australian fans, as well as those intending to travel from England, following the back-to-back postponements of the club’s plans to tour down under.

Crystal Palace F.C. Chairman Steve Parish said: “We are absolutely delighted to be visiting Australia for the first time in the club’s history, even more so following our two planned trips in recent pre-seasons being postponed due to COVID.

“It will be fantastic to finally witness Crystal Palace play in Australia, and to do so at the iconic MCG in front of our Australian fans and strong travelling support is something the entire squad and staff, led by Patrick Vieira, are excited about.”

The fixture forms part of a three-match overseas tour, with the club’s two other fixtures to be announced in April, enabling supporters to make travel and accommodation plans.

Tickets for this game go on pre-sale tonight (Thursday, March 31st) at 23:00 BST.

Supporters will be able to purchase via this link.

Tickets will go on general sale at 05:00 on Monday, 4th April.

We strongly encourage supporters to buy the Away Active Bronze to sit with fellow Palace fans, as the other categories are likely to be mixed seating.
