2026/27 Season tickets - Poll added

[jackyboy]

We got an email (23April) saying waitlist folk will be notified WC 25th May if we will be eligible for a ST. Wont be able to actually purchase it until 22nd June though (once seat swaps sorted). Im 6500-7000 on the WL so it won't be this season for me. Will be very suprised if more the 2-3k throw in the towel and that would be a massive increase from the last few years at Goodison.

Thanks for that mate! Hopefully you get one soon. Be interesting to see the figures next week

Travel to and from the ground is a huge issue when you talk to other blues

I kept to my word and haven't renewed , had a good look around the ground before i left when the second one went in Sunday will now become an armchair super blue Sunday just confirmed to me that i made the right decision for myself and as i originally said i hope for everyone else who is sticking with their Season ticket i hope it improves and you all get what you deserve.
I watched Villa last night with envy , harping back to our Europe success that i was lucky to have been involved in as a fan and just thought how far are we from getting back there and thinking i cant stomach another season watching the team under Moyes .

Where have you seen that about next week getting offered season tickets mate?

My son, who is on the waiting list, sent me a message on Tuesday which included this:

I think it was an EFC email, but if not, it must be from the website. I’m sure it’s an official EFC statement.

I am on the list and got an email with similar information a few weeks ago.

Log in to your account and club tells you what number group your in.

Sure, but that doesn't confirm you're in the next batch. No one knows how many they will offer

I wonder how many of those who said that they were not renewing in the poll, actually did as they voted. If the poll is then fairly representative, it could mean 5-7k available to those on waiting lists. I doubt the list would have full take-up, so that could equate to 8-10k+ on that list.

I think I read somewhere that there are 34,000 season tickets at HDS. So if there was, for example, a 3% rate of relinquishment, that would mean 1,020 tickets or 1,700 if 5% were relinquished. I can’t see the rate of relinquishment being much more than 5% despite the noise about the price increase (and all the weekday night matches) but I may be wrong. However, the waiting list is still structured in incremental bands of 500 so it could be that the club will stick to that pattern and offer a round number of tickets divisible by 500. If so, in my second example above, they’d offer 1,500 not 1,700 and presumably sell the other 200 on a match by match basis. Alternatively, they may just round the number to the nearest 100. This seems plausible if an oddball number became free (as will probably happen) say 1,726, because it seems unlikely that the club would use such a random number. As a 6% relinquishment rate would see 2,040 tickets available, I reckon those on the waiting list up to position 2,000 are possibly in with a shout next week, but higher than 2,000 maybe not so much.

I didn't renew either after many years. I could put up with the walk to the ground ,queues for buses etc. if I thought things would change next season. Yes ,we've suffered from bad VAR decisions but Moyes has consistently failed to 'go for it ' in several matches and lost instead. The season just fizzled out . I'll pick my matches and take pot luck where I sit.

That’s a great question. The GOT poll may be a true reflection (or not!) of the contributors, but if it proves to be representative of all ST holders, as (I think) there are 34,000 STs 19.4% relinquished would be virtually 6,500. I just don’t see that many being dispensed with. In my post elsewhere on this page I’ve speculated a relinquish rate of about 5% to 6%. It may prove I’ve under pitched that, but if it’s close to the GOT poll number of 19.4% I’ll be genuinely taken aback.

It does if your 1 to 500 on the list.
