Not unexpected. A multi million business paying players millions of pounds but they can’t pay for coaches. Shows where their priorities lie. Pretty shameful

My son and I did the same and had no response about a tour either. Sort of forgot about it but I at least want to see our name on the wall.
Tours of the Academy have been suspended by the club as their is still a lot of building work being done their at the moment. When the work is completed tours will re-commence. When that will be we do not know.
Minites from our latest meeting held with the club on 03.09.2024 are available to view https://cpisa.co.uk/notes-of-cpfc-meetings.

TBF, coach companies are upping the ante on prices where Football trips are concerned. A well known local publican who organises trips was nearly ripped off & would have had to charge pax £75pp which is extortionate & they wanted to have 2 drivers because they wouldn't stop at where he had arranged so people could have a meal/drinks. Redwing, who Palace use a lot, have cut their fleet back & raised prices.
Indeed, that's not a justification but a mockery!

Can you discuss with your colleagues regarding the ridiculous situation regarding ticket sales, highlighted on other threads. Something that should be urgently brought up with the club. ThanksWe at CPISA have released a statement regarding digital ticketing at CPFC.

Apologies just seen your post on other thread
CPISA have this morning sent a statement to the club regarding the extremely poor, confusing method used to sell the 34,000 tickets for our Semi Final against Aston Villa at Wembley later this month. It has only confused supporters, helped to divide groups and families and it appears to supporters to be a direct exercise to extract more money from its existing loyal fanbase who already solidly support the club both home and away.

You weren't interested when I pointed out to you how the club has been "extracting money from its existing loyal fan base" in another instance.
As you will have seen the ticket prices for the cup final have been significantly increased this year. CPISA are concerned by the price increases that have been applied and we wanted to ensure that we represented the interests of Palace fans in regards to this. There’s a great article by Matt Woosnam in the Athletic regarding this and CPISA have made a statement in this.
From our perspective it feels like loyal supporters are gradually being priced out of football and that is something we are concerned about. In addition to the Athletic article CPISA have also been in touch with the FSA and we hope to work with City’s Supporter Trust also. It is really important that we fight for our right to continue to be involved in our game to ensure that we are able to continue to attend matches and especially those key events that matter so much to us as fans not just for ourselves but for generations to come. In this case this year’s price hike particularly affects us as after this prices will be held for 3 years so it feels even more punitive.
here’s our statement
“The Football Association (FA) are pricing loyal supporters out of being able to attend the cup final. These increases should, if they have to be applied at all, only be in line with inflation.
”Fans having supported their teams, many for decades both home and away, should not be exploited in this way by our own association in what is a showcase final at the home of football shown live to millions of people live around the globe on television for a huge fee in itself.”

Thank you for providing this information.

Well, somebody has to fund this ;
'' The Football Association's (FA) chief executive, Mark Bullingham, received a bonus in the year ending July 2024, which was part of his £1.32 million total remuneration. This included a £869,000 salary and a further £450,000 from a long-term incentive plan (LTIP). The FA defends this payout, stating that it is competitive to attract and retain top talent and that the bonus was earned based on meeting performance targets ''
While I acknowledge that the Cup Final is the FA's showpiece and therefore a revenue generating opportunity, it shouldn't come at the expense of genuine fans - the'' loyal supporters '' as you describe them. And as we seem to live in a ' Two Tier ' world at the moment, perhaps there should be two pricing points for Cup Final tickets. So members of the clubs reaching the Final pay a reduced price while a premium is charged to the ' Tourists ' , of which there are many at this game.
At a time when just about everybody is feeling the pinch financially, the FA, in true FA style, have failed once again to read the room.

You are right, but we are somewhat of a captive audience. I've been getting fed up with it for quite a while personally. I'm surrounded by tourists when I go to games. Of course they're going to pay more. It's genuinely as though the game wants to be so sanitised, that the Premier League and FA don't even want fans. Fans are getting in the way of business models.
Thanks Pierre. Perhaps CPISA could mention tithe club that their Cup Final merchandise is awful. Bear in mind this is not a yearly occurrence for us, why no replica shirts with Cup Final details on? In 2016 there were very nice Polo shirts with Cup Final details, not this time. Not even the bucket hats mention the Cup Final.
Yes, good point Spiderman. The club seems to have missed a trick here. Could have come up with some better and more stylish merchandise to suit all pockets, tastes and sizes. Will certainly quiz the club on their thought processes and reasons.
I second the comments regarding the cup final merch (or lack of it)
In 1990 there were multiple versions of each item, hats, t-shirts, keyrings, badges, scarves (printed and woven), shirts with embroidered match details, mugs, posters, polo shirts, flags etc etc etc. Even the Croydon Advertiser porcelain figurine!
In 2016 it was a smaller range, but a little bit of most things
This time round, I know its only 3 weeks between semi and final but talk about half hearted. And most not even in stock yet either.
Regarding your plastic card Pierre, as you probably know, you won't be getting one unless you literally have a disability. The majority of the (1500?) fans who still have cards this current season are OAPs, are they are next in the firing like to get the digital treatment. They took ours away last summer, and so we have to go to the box office with ID before every home game to get a printed ticket. As is also the case at about half the away games now. Ultimately supporters that don't follow the direction of travel at the speed they want are an inconvenience to them sadly.
