Thanks, Fernside!
I'll definitely get a Gold membership, and I should be able to get 2 decent tickets to Watford. The US still requires a negative Covid test to get back into the country, but I hope they drop that before May. Worst case, I'll go to a match early in the new season in August, since we look guaranteed to stay up.
Palace/Watford doesn't seem like the type of marquee matchup they would move for the TV audience, but who knows.
It's funny how different sport ticket buying is in the US. Here, all tickets for all games of every team in every sport go on sale at the same time prior to the season. But if you buy a ticket, the game could be moved to a different date/time for TV and you just have to deal with it, or sell your ticket.
For instance, you could buy a ticket in August for an american football game Sunday at 1:00 PM outdoors in late December, and the game could be moved later on to Sunday night at 8:30 PM, when it is much much colder in northern areas, not to mention getting home well after midnight instead of early evening.
Also, 90% of US stadiums are open to the elements, so if you're watching outdoor sports, you'll be subject to the rain or snow.
On the plus side, it's legal to resell tickets on the internet sites in the US and Canada, so it's very convenient to buy/sell tickets to any game you want to attend, almost any level of seat, even at the last minute, as long as you're willing to pay a little extra for the privilege.
