2026/27 Season tickets - Poll added

[Gwladysstreetlad]

The club can't expect blind devotion from season ticket holders when they're changing the kick off times each and every week and refusing to let us have an actual bloody card that we could pass on. I rarely miss home games. I can count on one hand the total I've missed in the last decade but whenever it did happen I would previously pass my ST to my brother. That can't happen anymore without him paying the club for the privilege of receiving the "virtual tickets". Its a joke. Lots of people aren't prepared to do that so it's inevitable that folk will end up selling the tickets meaning loads of different people for those games. All this takes away the community feel that Goodison always had and It's entirely the clubs own fault. Greedy idiots.

Considering that every week there are many seats available in the family section - and that so many games are not family friendly with late kick offs, the club should consider making some of those seats available to everyone - either part of section 128 or 125.

Imagine having a village street (think it is) with the three hours of unlimited drink etc but not able to use as most of the games youve got work some 8 hours later.

Remember when a night game used to be a novelty? Now a Saturday 3pm is.

Soon a weekend game will be.

I've not seen any surveys since we moved stadium about current season ticketer experience. Says it all.

I expect by the end of the season, we will have had:
6 Saturday games (only 3 at 3pm)
6 Sunday games
7 midweek games

If it happens as I expect based on the already moved games and the probability they move the Chelsea, city and Liverpool games for tv purposes. It’s appalling to have more midweek games than either of the days at the weekend. Even if not, it’s still a third of the games midweek.

I concur that many of the games are not exactly family friendly.....

There was always going to be an issue with the family stand area as you were only able to purchase a ST if you had a junior with you, with the idea of keeping a family area well safeguarded for those junior fans. It does also state this when booking this area.

However, how can this be controlled game by game or fill to capacity whilst ensuring it remains a good area for the future fan generation of this club.

GOT will love this..... maybe check the ST waiting list and open it up to those juniors and / or families and / or even seniors to fill this area and allow for more general sale and / or ST renewal changes in other areas of the ground as people drop off for the upcoming season.

Again, yes GOT this benefits me as my son is on the waiting list albeit I think he will get this anyway regardless of this... but it also safeguards the area and makes prevents like the Wolves game, three middle aged men vaping and shouting the C word every few mins in an area full of kids. Plus the likes of those 2 earlier on in the season who got kicked our after looking like they had just come from creamfields and still high on something.

I think the club made a mistake having the family section in the corner that never gets on TV

Out of interest, was this reported, and/or anyone tell them to shut the f up?

Has anyone heard any rumblings of the plan for people wanting to move? Going to be so interesting seeing just how many swerve it and the process for migrating. They're going to have to start soon you would think.

Yep, your final sentence is correct.

I've had a season ticket for 23 years now and honestly can't see myself keeping one for much longer.

The stadium is impressive in it's build, but that's where it ends. The whole match day experience has changed and not for the better.

Its a nightmare getting to the stadium
It's now a whole day event
Ground is too sanitised
Devoid of any atmosphere
Corporate feel
Bank loan required for food and drink

bank loan

mate if you meet me i’d gladly share
some food with you

love matt x

I’d be surprised if there is a plan. They made a big point about you being able to move freely around the concourses so in their minds if people want to move they can ask just like at Goodison.

It seems we’ve eventually caught up with the rest of the league. We had a good run at being fan friendly.

I think you'd have to be naive to not think they wont take anything out? Theyre businessmen, not charities.

Ultimately, the decision to sell EFCW to Roundhouse ensured that Everton could receive further capital and expenditure.

The same negatives being thrown about by The Esk, aren't being asked of Boehly at Chelsea (other issues are there), or the Chiefs at Villa. The way I see it is, they sold the Women's Team, and then reclaimed it thus freeing up PSR money.

I disagree, the owners of Liverpool and Arsenal have taken no dividends out for example. The simple fact is that those funds should have been invested back into the club, they could have paid off some of the loans for instance. or been invested to improve the squad. I'm not concerned about other clubs mate, i'm concerned about Everton.

When the questionnaires came out about allocation of ST’s for the ground, one of the considerations was to lift the seat plan from Goodison and as far as possible overlay it onto the Bramley Mooe seat plan, the idea that this would keep fans who had sat around each other for years together. Anyone who didn’t want to do that would have a chance to move elsewhere. With hindsight, this would have been better than the “Tenure” system they went with?
Also at the 11th hour they announced Club View (which to me is the equivalent of the Top Balcony). This concept has had a mixed reception. Should it be scrapped, although most of the early game teething problems have been addressed.

I think you are more likely to find further "premium" seating added, like theyve done at Anfield & Old Trafford before binning income off.

First couple of years we become "decent", dont be shocked to see further seating along the sides become Premium and probably the middle sections of the North Upper.
