Ticket prices

[bignev23]

normaly they sell the away end returns to 'everton partners' for £15 each.

I know a few people who work at John Lewiss and they get tickets every now and again for £15, Must be this.Lad asked me other day if i want any for Spurs game. Not sure how they would know how it wasn`t gonna sell out(away section) yet though.

It's a ripping off your own fans thing.

How is it ? The same stand further along costs exactly the same.

Do Everton even set the price of the away tickets ?

I know its only a pound but surley its not right to charge different prices for same seats.

But it's not a different price for Everton fans. The away fans were offered the ticket at a discount, for reasons which none of us know. The price of £37 is the same as any fan would pay to sit anywhere in the Upper Bullens for that match.

Maybe they get a discount for block buying, whereas if the where sold to Everton fans it would be individualy. Who knows.

I see the point, difficult to argue with the moral aspect, but the club has to make money.

Not that that's a way to do it like.

 

[steken1]

the club will set as high a price as possible to sell as many as possible to the away fans. I imagine they thought they could sell the full allocation at £36. When they never they had to sell them at the same price other blues were charged. They cannot change the set price for a specific stand on a game by game basis.

Suprised that Sunderland didn't take the majority of thier allocation TBH.

How is it ?

Because they are charging two different prices for the EXACT same seats.

But it clearly is because

Not for Sunderland fans - there is just no getting around it. Why were Blues charged more than Mackems?

I don't know and neither do you. It's not a rip off anyway. By your logic charging adults full price and not the OAP price is a rip off. Same seat.

Everton could have an agreement with Sunderland, or they could have offered them cheaper in an effort to shift them, or Sunderland could have offered them for cheaper for the same reason.

Can anyone tell me how Spurs is a category D game and Wigan is a category C game??

No, that is not comparing like with like and is not my logic.

Compare Everton adult price with Sunderland adult price, Everton OAP price with Sunderland OAP price.

Charging people more simply because of who they support is a rip off.

Few clubs charge thier own fans the same price as they charge visiting fans. It's always been that way. Clubs have to take into account the travelling fans and what the maximum amount they can charge to sell the maximum number of tickets. I.e. selling 2000 tickets@£20 is better than 800@£40 as long as you know your fans wouldn't buy those seats. Our attendances say thats probably the case.

 

[Jacko93]

I'm not sure it's Everton who set the price for the travelling fans. My understanding is they sell the tickets to Sunderland at a reduced bulk price, that they are responsible for regardless of seats sold, Sunderland then sell that to their fans at a price that they expect to (a) make enough money to cover initial outlay, or (b) at a price where they can sell enough to fill the seats.

If they have seats remaining, within a block, they have not sold, they can return the allocation with enough notice for us to sell within our price bands.

If Sunderland saw fit to atempt to sell all their allocation at £20, then returned a section they still couldn't sell, should Everton be required to sell the returned tickets at £20 a seat? Effectively meaning that you are rewarding people who have turned up last minute over somebody who sits in the seat next to them in a seat they have sat in for years?

IT'S A POUND FFS!!!
