What the Masters is
The Palace describes the Masters as “snooker’s greatest invitation event” and part of the Triple Crown with the World and UK Championships. It was first staged in 1975 and has been held at Alexandra Palace since 2012, with “over 2,000” fans in the hall. It is televised on BBC Sport, Eurosport, TNT, CCTV5 and international partners (Alexandra Palace).
Matches up to the semi-finals are best of 11 frames, and the final is best of 19, according to World Snooker Tour’s session sheet.

Getting there
From Crouch End the Palace is a short hop. The Palace’s own travel page lists:
- Train: Alexandra Palace station, at the Wood Green entrance to the park, with Great Northern trains from Moorgate through Highbury and Islington, and from King’s Cross.
- Tube: Wood Green, on the Piccadilly line, is the nearest.
- Bus: the W3 runs from Finsbury Park and Tottenham to the Ice Rink and Palm Court stops.
Parking
The Palace car parks charge £2.20 an hour after a free first 30 minutes, and Blue Badge holders park free. The Paddocks car park, opened for some big indoor events, charges £5 an hour from 5.30pm to midnight and £2 at other times. Pay at the machines, by the ECP parkbuddy app or online within 24 hours, location ID 685981 (Alexandra Palace). An all-day snooker visit is a long stay, so the train is cheaper. Our parking page has the streets around Crouch End, and our roadworks and travel page has anything that might slow the trip.

The World Darts Championship runs from 11 December to 3 January in the Great Hall, a week before the snooker. Our Christmas at Ally Pally page has the grotto, Festive Skate and Cinderella On Ice.
