Tickets for Stoke home match -help!

Mistertonblue · July 13, 2016

I'm planning on bringing my 2 boys up for a birthday treat for the match and have already booked hotel etc.

Ideally I wanted to get tickets for the family enclosure but I've read that all home matches have 32,000 tickets already sold including the family enclosure.

As an irregular visitor to Goodison - 4/5 matches per season - I normally just book tickets wherever available when travelling by myself or friends/wife.

Does anyone know when tickets will be on sale? What chance have I got of acquiring 'decent' tickets?

Will I have a better opportunity if I join the Foreverton scheme?

Thanks in advance.

I would say you have very little chance now of getting three seats together tbf.
Forever everton membership will give you a couple days grace before general sale but I think even then your going to struggle.

Cheers for the info mate - even if it's not what I wanted to read!

Looks like there may be some disappointment amongst the boys

As it's a birthday treat worth emailing the club mate. Nothing to lose and if they are able to I'm sure they'll help.

Thought did cross my mind - felt it was a bit of a desperation act but yeah think I'll do as you say mate.

You never know I may yet get a picture of the kids with Mata and Witsel!

i am a season ticket holder but i had to purchase a forever everton membership for my lad, who has always played on a saturday up until now and still has to work alternate weekends, anyway went on line this morning to buy him a Spurs ticket and there was literally nothing left apart from a couple of hundred obstructed views, paddock and park end sold out for the season!

That's the fear. I'm in a similar situation with my eldest boy where he plays football and I also coach Saturdays so there is a very limited amount of weekends I can go with him.
It's almost enough to want to turn the clock back a year when Martinez was in charge and we never had a billionaire benefactor!

Is it really that bad already, gonna be back for the Stoke game myself. Might be 3/4 of us. Assumed there would be no trouble at all with Foreverton.

How old are your boys if you don't mind me asking.

They're both under the age of 8.

I have an adult and two under 11 season tickets in Family enclosure you can have. Really good seats...if you want them they are yours.

Laura that's very generous of you and I'm obviously very keen but there is a somewhat minor detail I carelessly omitted and that is that I also require a ticket for my wife!!!

I've contacted the club to see if they can assist on this so can I be very cheeky and ask if you would mind waiting until I get a definitive answer from the club? However if you happen to have 2 adults and 2 kids tickets...
