Crystal Palace haven't played in front of a sold-out Selhurst Park since the 1-0 victory over Watford in March 2020.
It would be an understatement to say that plenty has happened since then.
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic threatened to put an end to the 19/20 Premier League campaign, and play only resumed under the strictest conditions that continued on into last season.
However, this summer's European Championships gave us a flavour of what's to come, and, as the new 21/22 season approaches, there is cautious optimism that the worst is now behind us.
For Palace, kick-off next month marks the beginning of a new era. Roy Hodgson's four-year reign at the club came to an end, opening the door for new boss Patrick Vieira.
The Frenchman's first game in charge is a difficult test away at newly-crowned European Champions Chelsea, with his first home match against newly-promoted Brentford.
With the 16-month wait for Selhurt's doors to open in mind, tickets are likely to be in high demand.
To save yourself from the stresses of the general sale, however, a new avenue has opened up courtesy of online company Travelzoo.
Ordinarily, Travelzoo occupy themselves with package holidays for sightseers and sun-seekers. Now though, ahead of the upcoming season, they are venturing into the world of Premier League football.
Crystal Palace are among a host of Premier League clubs who are now selling official hospitality packages through the website, with the Eagles' matches against Spurs and Brighton among those currently listed and available.
As always, prices for hospitality tickets don't come cheap. They start just shy of £200, but this does get you a two-course meal along with complimentary beers, house wine, and soft drinks.
Hospitality tickets are situated in the boxes above the goal in the White Horse Lane Stand. Click here to find out more information on how to get your hands on them.
