I said similar in reply to someone but I think it’s worth expanding on. I think the club have completely misjudged what tourists actually value at Selhurst. Tourists will always come when we play the big 6 to see them. What would attract a tourist to come watch us play the other 13 clubs, especially the smaller, less high profile games? For most it would be the atmosphere we’ve marketed abroad constantly over the years. Europeans and South Americans love it, this Americanisation would put them off. And even lots of fans from the US chose us because of our unique atmosphere. They can watch better cheerleaders with better light/pyro shows in far better seats back home. Why would they come to watch Palace when they can get that experience back at home? Or at a bigger club? Or a club with a better stadium? The fact is you can’t have a sanitised, corporate experience in a ground like Selhurst. It may work in a shiny bowl like the Amex or the emirates. Even grounds like the Hill Dickinson, Anfield, or Villa Park. But a tiny, run down shack in the middle of Croydon? Come on. Premier League executives would ultimately love to push out season ticket holders for tourists who they can charge 2x or 3x as much per game. But anyone paying that price with no attachment to the club isn’t going to accept the view at the back of the Arthur, or the toilets, cramped concourses, cold food, issues at the turnstiles, a tiny box office and club shop that you have to queue 30 minutes just to get inside. And if we go down? They all disappear. Do you really want to lose your loyal fanbase too?
