Joe Mercer Suite - your thoughts...

[Chavarotti]

I'll be back in England for the first game of the season - It's been a couple of years since I was last at Goodison and it'll from be a few more years before I'm there again after this trip.

I was looking at the hospitality options and although its pricey I'm considering getting a couple of tickets for me and the missus - 'The Peoples Club' has already sold out, so the next one is 'The Joe Mercer Suite' - works out to be about 350 GBP for the two of us vs about 80 GBP for regular seats - so is it worth it?

On the one hand it would seem obviously not (it doesnt even include scran) - on the other it might just be something a bit special.

Anyone used this lounge before and have any input on which tickets to go for?

Mike Parry is a big fan.

 

[Deloodid]

Mike Parry is a cock.

FIFY..

 

[Chavarotti]

so what does it include?

Luxury Directors' Box seating
Cash bar
Complimentary half-time refreshments
Hot and cold food available to purchase
In-lounge betting
Match programme
Team sheet


...tbh - none of which interest me, other than the seats. Seems strange that a meal isn't included when 'the peoples club' is cheaper and does have.

 

[Deloodid]

that sounds like a big rip to me.

Luxury Directors' Box seating - whats so Luxury about it?

 

[Chavarotti]

...well, no big ****-off wooden posts in the way is always a good start.

It is a boss experience mate the seats are fantastic. My mum n dad have season tickets there and i went to a few games with the missus last year, the foods great n your just not rushed and i believe you can go there 1 and a half hours before k.o?? Not too sure on that.
In terms of worth, id say yes but then again im not paying 350 everytime i go. Depends whether u prefer the proper footy atmosphere or the quiet chilled family area where u can pre order halftime pints
You sit amongst all the absent players so signature opportunitys are almost definate and you're within spitting distance of Bill.

Get in the Gwladys Street, lad.

Food may be great - but it's not even included in the cost~!

...spitting distance of Bill? That's it then, i'm sold. *starts working on a fat greenie for him


I do like the idea of getting there early though, getting some good photos, checking out ex-players (and their tasty wives) and having the best seats/view in the stadium.

...hard to justify the cost though...not sure what to do.

It's your decision. I will say that £350 sounds a lot, especially if the food is on top of that, but if you want a once in a lifetime experience then what you need do is ask yourself if you can afford it, and if so, would you rather spend your money on a day out at GP watching Everton, or in some other way - a weekend away in a hotel, a theatre break or whatever else you enjoy doing. You'll know the answer.

If you do go, I hope we win in style for your sake!

Listen to your head not your heart, its a rip off.
go in the park end and buy yourself a tasteless pint of chang and a 4 quid slice of pizza.

u can sit in my seat for £100, ill bring a a can of coke and a bag of monster munch at half time, ill even put a nice cushion on ya seat, the man to the left is a a chatty guy and the kid to the right has a annoying clap.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Over priced for what you get with the package, 'the peoples club' seems like a better option to me.

Yep, we have witty chants and piss on each other
