Advice on getting tickets to a home match!

Aussie Sharpy · January 3, 2012

So flights are booked to Europe, been hanging out for years to be able to see a game at Goodison and it is gonna happen on the 28th of April against Fulham!

Been the daft skip that I am, I have no idea where in the stadium I should be looking to sit and how far in advance I'll need to book the tickets (better take the boss along).

Feel free to help me out as I have no bloody idea.

You can buy them on the day, you won't have a problem purchasing tickets

Or you can select your seats a week earlier and pick up the tickets from the box office at Goodison. I think they'll go on general sale a week or two before the game, and as AB puts it, the game won't sell out anyway so there will be seats available on the day.

Avoid the cockney woman with a titty lip over the phone who i've just had.

Seriously though, you can get a stadium tour for Â£20.00. That would be good as well as the match. If the match is on a saturday i'm pretty sure they will have one on the sunday. I'm taking my kids later in the month.

Contact the club, tell them you are over from Oz, see if they can do anything special for you!

The Esk speaketh sense, I would contact them now to try and sort the ticket way in advance if I were you (after all it could be the game that we secure a Champions League place) as you don't want to end up stuck behind a post after saving and waiting for so long to visit.
This 2 week prior to the game for buying tickets is gash tbh, I bet Thomas Cook get to book 'em before that window.

If you get no joy then try contacting via the medium of Tweeting a Mr T. Cahill.

If all else fails, get back on here as Season Ticket holders get 1st dibs on tickets (only by a few days usually but still 1st dibs) and I'm sure you will get sorted.

If you are just over for one match and you want to make it a bit special and if you are taking the wife then possibly go for one of the hospitality things. Guaranteed good tickets, nice food and drink, chance to meet up with a legend and maybe with a current player.

Thanks all, might have to send off an email and see if they can organise something suave for me! Cannot hurt to ask, might even hit up Timmy with a tweet!

Probably (definitely) too much of a cheap [Poor language removed] to go all out and get a hospitality things! Meant to be pissing off to London the next day but could possibly convince the boss to let us hang around for a tour if it is not too late in the day.

Also what else is there to do in Merseyside? I have no interest in the Beatles! I could piss on Anfield?
