See, you have a point.
Tottenham, Utd, Liverpool all have huge tourist match go-ers who will pay through the nose.
Everton don’t. They’ve misjudged it completely

Now THAT will a game changer.
So will more pubs you can actually get inside and served, too.
That’s my wanking arm mate!
With grip like that I'll bet you can see the skynet.
Back on topic, has anyone else had issues with the metal detectors? Are they picking up belt buckles and pockets full of change?

It's dead easy if you're willing to shell out for memberships. If you live a good distance away or if attending a couple of times a year is all you can afford, the extra £180 for memberships for a family of four to maybe get seats somewhere near each other for a further £260 may very well make it impossible for a lot of fans, and certainly makes it a deterrent for others. £440 to attend one match (if you can only make one game a season) is a lot for many families. The fact that season ticket holders can't get shut of their tickets on the resale platform because they don't go on general sale and that there isn't enough of a market with existing members shows that the system is broken. The club get their money either way so, in the short term, don't care. However, medium to long term, if people are being priced out by the clubs ludicrous insistence of only selling tickets to members that could alienate an entire generation of fans, result in a lower uptake or renewal of season tickets and harm the long term financial success of the club. It's an inexplicable act of self-harm by the club as far as I am concerned. We don't have the pull of Man United, Arsenal and, yes, the RS with the casual or tourist markets, it's weird that we're pretending that we do. We're only half a season in to this new adventure and supply is already outstripping demand for so called "premium" products. This could go bad very quickly.
how do other clubs furnish once a season stadium visitors?
It was weird mate. The only metal I had on me was my key’s and I passed them to my lad after going through the first time and it beeping, went through again and it beeped. I had no other metal on me, no belt buckle, change.
No, I walked down behind the north stand and smelt nothing
I've had a look on the website and seen that the seats next to me are up for resale on Wednesday, I want to take my daughter but there is only an option for an adult ticket at £65, also when I put it in my basket it says I can't because I'm not a member but I want to put it on her name as she's a member?

Depends on the club. The clubs that sell out every game do it like we currently do. Arsenal, if I'm not mistaken, have four tiers of memberships, for example. Others, like Man City who don't sell out all of their games (they say they do but there's always thousands of empty seats) but are bankrolled by nation-states also do what we currently do. Memberships, "premium" (standard seat with a bao bun and a programme) seats, experience days etc.... Everyone else, though, pretty much offers seats to members first and then eventually offers them on general sale, like we used to. That system means that new fans, potential future season ticket holders of you want to be a hard headed business man about it, get to experience a game live without annual subscriptions and huge expense.
I don’t disagree but again that wasn’t the point. My post was in reply to an ongoing conversation not just a standalone point, the post that started it was someone saying they were sick of people who do go ‘whining about prices’ when there are people like him who can’t go. We can surely assume that the issue for him isn’t cost because he’s explicitly telling people to stop moaning about the cost. So the point is that if he really want to get tickets like he’s saying he does, he could do.
As I said, that doesn’t mean that what you’re saying doesn’t have any merit in a wider sense, of course it does, but more than one thing can be true at the same time and it’s also accurate to say there are lots of fans who hide behind saying they can’t possibly get tickets when the reality is they just aren’t actually trying. It’s always been the same, I said as much when people weee using the ST waiting list as evidence of the need for an extra 10,000 seats at the ground - saying you want to go and actually committing the time, money, effort etc to actually doing it aren’t anything like the same thing. That’s not a criticism of those people, it’s a totally understandable (sensible even) decision, but a decision is what it is.
It was about 4,50 at goodison wasn’t it and I’ve no idea where you sat but where I was it was awful . Given the price rises nationally that doesn’t seem like a massive rip off . Obviously for customers where money is scarce , which is most of us these days , I accept it’s a big increase but it’d be around 5.50 at goodison now almost certainly . The food is overpriced but it’s certainly better than the pies or what we called sausage rolls .
I’m not dismissing your concerns because I think theyre valid but purely when you look price rise /increase in quality for me it doesn’t seem gouging .
What i also find interesting is the complaints at the top end . Starting at the dissatisfaction with club view to hospitality , I’ve been lucky enough to get into hospitality and honestly the service and overall product was pretty poor . If the club want to make money this is where they do it and I think they’re letting themselves down .
