Community Shield Tickets | Frequently Asked Questions

When do Community Shield tickets go on sale?

Through the clubs, you can expect Community Shield tickets to become available from mid-July. Sometimes the Football Association makes additional tickets available to both sets of fans. If this happens, they will be available around the end of July.

On the secondary market, you can buy resale Community Shield tickets as early as April, even before the two teams are known.

How many tickets are allocated for the Community Shield?

Crystal Palace and Liverpool will each receive an official allocation of about 31,500 tickets for the Community Shield. When you remember that there are more than 18,000 people with a Crystal Palace season ticket, you see how tricky it might be to get tickets for this game.

Even if you assume that not all season ticket holders will want to attend, Community Shield tickets will still be almost impossible to obtain through official channels.

Keep in mind that more than 250,000 LFC fans have a Liverpool membership, and many will be desperate for tickets for this match. Palace are also famous for their travelling support, and will easily fill out their allocation, not least because their recent memories of Wembley are so fond.

What are the seating arrangements for the Community Shield?

According to tradition, fans of the first name in the match-up sit in the East Stand of Wembley stadium, while the second team is in the West Stand. So in 2025 Liverpool fans with Wembley football tickets will occupy the East End and Crystal Palace fans will have the West Stand.

There are fan zones outside of the ground for both sets of supporters. These are open from 11:00 am and feature DJs and food and drink to help Reds and Eagles fans get in the mood.

Does the Community Shield sell out?

Yes, the Community Shield sells out. That is the short answer, because the two opponents always sell their seating allocation. Even back in 2024, when Manchester City fans protested ticket prices, the club still sold out its allocation.

However, because this match is not seen as a major final, you will often notice a slightly lower attendance and a few empty corporate and sponsor seats on the halfway line at Wembley. This is despite the general admission allocations being sold-out.

Where is the best place to sit at the Community Shield?

For atmosphere, the Lower Tier is the place to be, as you will be among the noisy match-going regulars for both Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

For the ideal view the front rows of the Upper Tier provide a perfect perspective of the action, especially from the longside North and South stands. For more details, take a look at our Wembley Stadium seating guide.

How to buy Community Shield tickets without a membership?

Frankly, it will be impossible to buy Community Shield match tickets directly from the clubs without a membership. Liverpool season ticket holders, and members with a history of attending matches will be first in line for tickets, and the same will apply to Eagles fans with a Crystal Palace membership.

However, you won’t need a membership to buy Community Shield tickets if you use a site like Ticket Compare.

Community Shield History

Formerly known as the Charity Shield, the match is an historic football event in England, and the equivalent of the Supercup in other countries.

The first Community Shield was played in 1908 between Manchester United and Queens Park Rangers, and originally only featured the champions of the Football League and the Southern League.

The competition was altered to include the winners of the FA Cup and has gradually evolved over time. The name changed to the Community Shield in 2002 and the fixture has been played at Wembley Stadium since 1974.

The match has always been used to raise funds for charity and community initiatives, which is where the name comes from.

Two Memorable Community Shield Matches

One of the most memorable matches in recent years was Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Man City at the King Power Stadium in 2002. The match was relocated from Wembley Stadium to make way for the final of UEFA Women’s Euro 2022.

One Community Shield that was not played in a friendly spirit was the 2003 edition, won by Manchester United on penalties against Arsenal after a 1-1 draw. At the height of the two clubs’ bitter rivalry, this match featured 26 fouls, 5 yellow cards and 1 red card.

The Most Successful Teams in Community Shield History

Here’s a list of the top teams in the history of the Community Shield. Asterisks (*) denote the times that the trophy was shared. We’ll explain why this happened below.

Why Did the Community Shield Sometimes Have Two Winners?

Strangely, until 1993, if the match ended in a draw the Community Shield trophy was shared. This happened on 11 occasions between 1949 and 1991. Now, if the teams are tied after 90 minutes there’s a penalty shootout.

What is the Community Shield Curse?

Considering the match involves two of the best-performing clubs from the previous campaign, surprisingly few Community Shield winners go on to win the league.

In the Premier League era’s 30+ seasons, the Community Shield winner has only proceeded to win the league six times. These teams were:

• Manchester United in 1993/94, 1996/97, 2007/08, 2008/09, 2010/11
• Manchester City in 2018/19

This tradition continued in 2024/25, with Manchester City defeating Manchester United, but going on to underperform in the Premier League.

Going back further, only 18 Community Shield champions since 1908 have gone on to win the league. Curse or not, you can guarantee that the winners will be celebrating at the final whistle.
