Everton Ticketing Changes

Is this accurate?
 

Not good. I live in the USA now and try to get back for the occasional match with my dad, probably once a year. Now we have to fork over 120 pounds to enter a ballot for one match? These changes may make a few extra dollars short term but will hurt both new and dedicated fans who aren’t season ticket holders.

My own opinion is fans like you, should look at SeatUnique mate. No need for membership. Can book tickets for any game, whenever you like. So you have that certainty, without needing to pay for the chance to enter a ballot. Listings below - prices bounce about an change all the time, so maybe keep an eye;


So if you booked Everton vs West Ham yesterday, you'd have paid £99 per ticket. You'd get a £10 F&B voucher, and 10% off retail and 10% off stadium tour. That would work out better than paying £120 for a ballot, then hoping you get a chance to pay for a ticket each.

If I didnt have a season ticket, and only made 1-3 games a season, I'd use SeatUnique for 'off-peak' type games.
 
Am just waiting now for the miss 5 games on your season ticket and you lose it. Or dont take your seat at cup times and you lose it.
Yep. My man utd mate is fuming about it as its there already.
Ordininary hardworking lad who has a pint before the game and a bag of chips then buggers off home at full time.
Fans like him seem not to be wanted.
He has just sent me this gem he is being threatened with now. Football as we knew it is fubared🤬

Said this to a mate earlier, a few teams do that...

But I think those that do the missing 5 games etc is just if you dont list them on resale etc, so to avoid empty seats which is fair enough.
 

Not sure games get changed 4 weeks out - i thought It's done in blocks well ahead of tickets going on sale? Even with last years situation for members you didn't know if you would get a ticket with it being fastest finger first. This ballot you only have to wait a few days extra to see if you have a ticket. I can't really understand the issue.
But the lack of choice is a little anoying, I reckon there must be some reason behind that decision but I can't work out what that is.

In terms of broadcast, I hope that's the case, although with teams in Europe, I know that can change late in the day depending on who goes through.

And with the old system, I honestly never had issues getting tickets for games, but my last game was Wolves in December, so appreciate I wasn't trying when demand was at its peak.

To be honest, my main issue is that this wasn't really communicated properly before memberships went on sale - because I'm not sure if I would have committed to spending £60 for the ballot.
 
People who buy with Sportsbreaks pay a premium to do so.

Just like you're paying a premium at £60, to have more access than the people who pay £30, or £0.

I think the likes of them, and SeatUnique are valuable in allowing a way to access tickets without paying for access to a lottery.
This is it for me. Seat Unique and sportsbreaks etc are ways for one off visitors tk guarantee seats and add a little bit of certainty to their trip. Members are more likely to be regular visitors, or more regular ballot entrants, so overall it will be cheaper to attend say, more than 4 games per season.

If you wanted to make 1 game in a year, you'd not pay the Foreverblue+ fee AND match ticket price in the same way that if you were hoping to make 5 home games, you'd not be using seat unique or sportsbreaks for them all.

Wow... Wont be long before
The game is in 4 halfs.

Off subject and I apologise for this, but does anyone know wether the no rebound from pens is to be implemented next season?

Look on seat Unique and or sportsbreaks and you may get a guaranteed seat for the same price for a one off.

Yes, that's the NFL model. Have franchises (so no relegation), keep wage expenditure down with a salary cap and draft, get massive subsidies from local authorities to build a stadium by threatening to move to another city, and make fans pay thousands for the right to apply for a season ticket.
 
Sure it's been said elsewhere, but as an out of town Blue who tries to go up a few times a season, this new system is an utter joke. If I'm planning a trip, I'll have to hope that I win a ballot and pray the game doesn't move for broadcast.

The fact you then don't get a choice of where you sit and this was revealed after the membership's went on sale (with the wording heavily implying that it was a first come, first served like previous memberships) are just an extra kick in the nads.
This, corrupt. Boooo
