New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Has everyone got over the rage of the name now? Im getting used to it to be honest.

Also anyone know when the branding will be added? Think the inside will look so much better when white seats are spelling EFC etc.

The hospitality seats are a hell of a lot more expensive than I thought they would be. Even the cheapest one is like £450. You could have had one of the best ones at Goodison not even for that price. Really poor to be honest.

The whole reason for the ground move was to take advantage of corporate and hospitality, they will try and rinse it for what they can, and so they should.

Nah it's the same as the old 'by the time you've had 14 pints, 2 meals, bought a program, a scarf, all 3 replica kits for your entire family...' argument. You paid for flights, that's got nothing to do with Everton, comparing it to people talking about how much they would have to pay just to get a ticket to go doesn't work.

So if you want to go see the Eiffel tower, you can do that for free as long as you don't go up?

Cost is a cost. Meals, scarves etc are definitely bonus items and not mandatory expenses. For overseas fans flights are just like if you go to Ibiza on your holidays, you have to pay for flights and hotel. There you can then choose whether to indulge yourself on beer or not. There is no option where that is the only expense, you either go or don't. If you go, the cost is total sum it costs you.

Your moaning is more like moaning how expensive first class tickets are.

Don't think its bad at all.

Don't get me wrong I won't be shooting out to get a hospo ticket straight away,but if I did I'd probably be expecting them numbers.

All comes down to want you're comfortable paying,that's the top and bottom of it.

If there's enough people daft enough / rich enough to spend that cash, Ild have a policy of charging them treble those prices to subsidise reasonable priced seats elsewhere. We should have had a lot more commercial boxes for this class of people and really gone to town on them.

We could and should have had a 58k-60k capacity stadium to cater to that option.

You've totally lost me here?

For a start I'm not moaning about anything, I just said I didn't think your comparison worked. My point was just that comparing the cost of an overall trip to the cost of purely a ticket isn't really a fair way of looking at it. If you're making a once in a lifetime trip to see the Eiffel Tower because it's on your bucket list then you're obviously going to be less bothered about the cost of going up it than if you're a local who grew up in the shadow of the place and has been going to the top for 50 years but has now found that the cost of doing so has increased to something they can't afford.

Anyway, I'm off to a New York Yankees forum to tell them to stop moaning about the price of hot dogs because I paid £3k to go and watch them 20 years ago.

Again, you compare something that is actually not required. Beer probably is, baseball is so incredibly boring I can't understand how anyone can watch that sober.

And in this case you are looking at HOSPITALITY prices. Not just your regular seats. Hospitality seating is not something you absolutely have to buy to see the match. Any more than you absolutely have to buy first class tickets every time you fly somewhere.

I'm not looking at anything, i've got a season ticket and have no desire to buy a hospitality ticket, I was just commenting on the posts at face value! I'm not sure where you live in Europe that the very cheapest you could possibly make a trip here was over a grand but yeah i'm sure you're right and you've only factored in pure essentials.

I don't have a skin in the game, I'm not criticising you or anyone else, I was quite literally just saying that effectively saying 'stop moaning about the prices, i've got it worse' didn't seem to be a particularly fair way of looking at it but I couldn't really care less to be honest.
 
Hospitality single tickets average out about 20% of the price of the season ticket.

There was plenty of hospitality season tickets available. The high price single ticket is to target a market we've never been able to access at Goodison, not Joe Bloggs wants to take his mum to a game for her birthday.

It is a sign of the times, personally not sure what else people were expecting.

I'm referring to hospitality packages with complimentary bar. The examples you've found there, aren't comparable. Interesting one of them is only post match too.

Village Street/Trinity Bar packages at Everton have complimentary bar. Someone replied saying they'll eventually settle from £230. I said I don't think so - not on those packages with complimentary bars etc. Current like-for-like hospitality at Everton/Goodison isn't that cheap.

When I read the offering for Everton Games, I thought it was just 1 drink pre match and 1 drink at half time. I didnt realise it was "all you can drink" for 3 hours before and at half time. Could be some people trying to get their money's worth and missing the game entirely.
