New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

The issue is that £65/70 is a ridiculously high step-up for general sale/admission seats, NOT that £40-45 is too low for a season tkt seat.

They've tried to test the general sale demand by really squeezing that market, and they struggle to sell out at the resale/GA prices, even during the honeymoon period with "new-stadium-effect" interest levels. Seat Unique have also had to dramatically reduce their prices for some games, as a result mates of mine got seat unique tickets at similar prices to GA tkts, but in one of the cheaper lounges! I assume that they may well want to negotiate new terms to their deal asap. There isn't a bottomless pit of fans waiting to fill this stadium at ridiculous ticket prices, and if they're failing to fill the ground in the first season, then without real success on the pitch, the subsequent seasons could be much worse if they don't address their pricing strategy and the ease of ST transfer issues (and all of that is before you even consider the numbers of fans already priced out).

Of course, the other factors such as public transport for people with mobility issues etc are having their effects too, and will also need to be addressed with some urgency if those fans are not to be lost. Much of that might be categorised as teething problems, but the pricing/ticketing strategy could be indicative of slightly more insidious motives, if they persist. If this fella's article is not just representative of anecdotal evidence, but actually indicative of a seismic drop-off in season ticket renewals and the waiting list vanishes after one season, then that should be a major concern.... because that surplus demand holds up the whole economic sustainability of the stadium.
We were always gonna struggle to fill the ground every game, it was a big enough jump, never mind the fact that loads were moaning they wanted an extra 10,000 plus.

Hopefully they realised how bad an idea Seat Unique was or at least the way they have executed it. Poor planning.

its a straightforward combo of evening kickoffs, not being able to transfer tix to non members, membership+ticket prices, seat unique price gouging and far too many evening kickoffs.
 
Is there any way of viewing the available tickets without a membership? I have friends who want to go to the Chelsea game but having to buy a membership just to see if there's seats available together is stupid.

Only way you can do that is to ask someone who's got a membership to check for you. I just searched for 2 together and there aren't any pairs listed at the moment.

Ah ok, thanks. I figured it was unlikely for many to be available but to paywall even being able to check is ridiculous. Having a season ticket really insulates a lot of supporters from this kind of stuff, otherwise I think there would be far more criticism of things like this.
 
only one ticket available on the website for chelsea

thousands available for burnley and the like

been to every home game this season yet when it comes to this ballot in the derby id have no better chance than any other punter who couldnt be bothered with those fixtures
Just out of interest, if you have been to every home game, why didn't you get a season ticket?

Yeah it's crap. I do think there'll be lots of pairs of tickets together available as the week goes on though.

There's a big waiting list mate.
 
Because I’m somewhere between 4500th and 5000th on the waiting list
That would be a good reason ☹️

I wonder if the club will look at all the empty seats this season and perhaps increase the number of season tickets available? Would satisfy a lot of fans, reduce the number of empty seats and perhaps generate a bit of FOMO if less seats are available for the public.

Dont think they are allowed to. Season tickets have to be no more than a % of the capacity. Not sure of the correct figures, but its something round the 80% mark I think.

Alot of the empty seats are season ticket holders who can't make midweek games, and haven't been able to sell or transfer them because of the new prices + rules. So more season tickets wouldn't help that.
