    Grand Old Team does not endorse or facilitate any ticket transactions made via this forum. All transactions are undertaken entirely at your own risk.

    To help protect yourself, please read the following guidance carefully before buying or selling:

    💳 Payment Method. Never pay via direct bank transfer. This offers zero buyer protection - once the money is sent, it cannot be reversed and your bank is unlikely to refund any losses. Always research your payment method before using it. PayPal, for example, offers meaningful buyer protection and is strongly recommended over a bank transfer.

    🤝 Where possible, arrange to meet face to face - ideally at an Everton match - and exchange tickets in person.

    🔍 Check Their Posting History Use the thread's search function to see if the seller has posted tickets before. If other members appear to have bought from them previously, reach out via private conversation to verify their experience.

    👤 Check Their Forum Profile Review the seller's forum history. Have they been a member for a long time, or did they register recently? Do other members speak positively of them? A long-standing, active member with good feedback is a much safer bet.

    • If in any doubt, don't proceed - contact a moderator of Grand Old Team here.

Match Ticket Thread - Spares/Requests - FACE VALUE OR LESS ONLY!

I feel like I have this conversation every single season, but Supporters Clubs do not get any preferential treatment with regards to the derby or any other away match.

As with all away games, for the derby the SCs had to put their orders in by yesterday morning. They are only allowed to request tickets for their Members who have the required credits (down to and including those on 18+), the same criteria as everyone else.

When all the SC orders are in, the total number of those 'guaranteed' a ticket (in this case 19+ credits) is calculated, and these are reserved prior to them going on sale on the website. This is to ensure SCs can be allocated their tickets in blocks, so all travelling members are sat together (and it makes life a hell of a lot easier for the Box Office staff to send the tickets out to the SCs when all their tickets are sat together).

SCs do not get preferential treatment on the best seats reserved for them either, I can vouch for that as I've had crap away seats many a time as part of our SC order. Away at Forest last season for example I was sat on the very top row behind literally the only gantry in that stand FFS lol.

Tomorrow at 2pm when they go on sale to 18+, any remaining tickets available will be split between being allocated to SCs whose members are on 18+, and the others made available on the website.

I can't speak for the 'hangers on' mind.

how does this split on the 18+ sale work then, obviously it is going to be harder for the none supporters club fan to get one in a mad scramble online when the supporters club ones have already been taken out prior to the sale
 
2 spare for villa tomorrow, lower tier and digital tickets in lower tier block R2. Can be emailed as soon as payment received- DM on here if interested, face value £60 for both

No idea mate, but I've literally just had an email from the SC contact in the Box Office saying that any numbers on 18+ that form part of the order are not guaranteed a ticket, and further updates will follow. As I said in my previous post, it's only numbers who are on 19+ that have been reserved as part of the SC 'block'.

From experience I know that last season we had a few occasions where tickets became available on the website at a certain criteria level, but those in our order on that criteria did not get a ticket allocated to them. So I guess it's luck of the draw whenever there is a '*' involved.
