Arsenal tickets
Given that Arsenal are the home team in this tie, the vast majority of fans in the Emirates on the night will be fans of the North London club.
Buying Arsenal tickets works a little bit differently from most other clubs, with the Gunners making use of a ballot system for most of their members. This process is similar to a lottery, in which fans enter the ballot and hope their application is successful.
These ballots are open to Red and Silver members, and for this match, took place between November 12 and November 14.
If you are instead a gold member (season ticket holder), then you are able to purchase your tickets fro the game from 15 November to 19 November.

Arsenal
As alluded to above, in order to purchase Arsenal tickets for this game you must be at least a Red Member with the club. This would have allowed you to enter the ticket ballot, however, given the huge demand, you are unlikely to win a ticket through this method.
However, even if you are unsuccessful, all hope is not lost.
Entering the ballot also grants you access to the ticket exchange for this match – a platform where fans can sell their tickets to other supporters.
This is an extremely effective way of securing a seat at the game, although you may need to put in some time and effort to do so.
Anyone who did not enter the ballot will be unable to purchase tickets through the ticket exchange.
Crystal Palace
In order to purchase Crystal Palace away tickets you must first be a season ticket holder, as well as possessing enough loyalty points for the match in question – the figure for this Carabao Cup tie is yet to be released.
If you meet those requirements then you will be granted access to a purchasing window ahead of the game, which will be announced by the club.
Resale websites
A last option for supporters is to purchase their tickets from third-party resale websites, one such example being LiveFootballTickets.Â
However, if you intend on going down this route there are a few things worth keeping in mind when doing so. Firstly, due diligence is of utmost importance as there is a very real risk of scam tickets or tickets being invalid.
Secondly, prices on these websites are often far higher than what is considered a fair market value, so always ensure you are happy to pay the price displayed on the site.
