Season › 2014-15 › News Everton subsidise Chelsea tickets , 14 January, 14comments | Jump to most recent Everton supporters travelling to Chelsea to cheer on the Blues next month will benefit from reduced-price tickets. The Club have moved to subsidise £10 of the cost of an adult ticket and £5 of a concessionary ticket for the Premier League trip to Stamford Bridge as a way of thanking fans for their unwavering and loyal support on the road this season. The fantastic backing Roberto Martinez's side have received this term was evident on Tuesday evening when almost 3,000 Blues followed the team to east London for the FA Cup third-round replay against West Ham United. Everton CEO Robert Elstone said: “The level of backing the team receives for away fixtures is a source of enormous pride for everybody associated with the Club. “That support was at its best at Upton Park. It makes a difference. It gets noticed. And we are delighted to be able to say thank you.” The Premier League match away at Chelsea takes place on Wednesday 11 February with a 7.45pm kick-off. In total, Everton have received an allocation of 3,032 tickets, with seats now costing £45 for adults and £18.50 for concessions — rather than the face value price of £55 and £23.50.

Jim Bennings 2 Posted 14/01/2015 at 21:15:05 Who on earth is going to pay these insane prices on a cold Wednesday night in February just to watch a total execution job??Football really needs to take a long hard look at where it's going with ticket prices and realising that games like this where there is more than likely only one winner, it's pricing fans our of being arsed going. Ant Summers 3 Posted 14/01/2015 at 23:40:34 Me Jim, for one, and I bet you what you like we could have sold double the allocation, the away crowd is a good laugh, good entertainment at times, and you know what, majority of those going will not think we will get trounced. EFC 4 EVER. The glass is half full. Jim Bennings 4 Posted 14/01/2015 at 23:47:33 Glass of what Ant?Bleeding hell I'd need a half full of Jack Daniels mate! Ant Summers 5 Posted 14/01/2015 at 23:50:35 I did laugh at that, Jim. Keep positive mate, it's all we have. Colin Glassar 6 Posted 14/01/2015 at 23:55:40 Jim, you are like that song, "you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey........"I really like reading your miserable, old git posts. You sound like Albert fucking Steptoe!! Anthony Flack 7 Posted 16/01/2015 at 09:27:07 Jim, if you can get hold of a ticket, I'll have it ....Cheers Nigel Gregson 8 Posted 16/01/2015 at 09:40:14 I live in London folks and I've never been sat in the away stands. Could someone please pass on some pointers on how to grab a seat or two ? I really want to join our away support !! Steve King 9 Posted 16/01/2015 at 10:01:42 Nigel,I also live in London and have managed to get tickets at face value in the away end for loads of games in London over the past 4 years.Just get yourself on the grandoldteam.com forum and find the Tickets page. All face value and there's always someone with some available. I was a little apprehensive at first dealing with complete strangers but I haven't had anyone let me down yet. Mike Gwyer 10 Posted 16/01/2015 at 10:37:33 Jim Bennings.You need to stop creating posts on TW and get to a game, especially an away game. Not only will you find that it's normal for Wednesday nights to be cold but you will also be amazed at what great away support this club has; for me, away games really are on another planet compared to games at Goodison.You never know, you might not moan so much about the blues but actually see Everton football club in a totally different light. Nigel Gregson 11 Posted 16/01/2015 at 11:08:00 Thanks Steve ! Brian Waring 12 Posted 16/01/2015 at 17:31:06 "Who on earth is going to pay these insane prices on a cold Wednesday night in February just to watch a total execution job??"Jim, it's called supporting your team. Jamie Crowley 13 Posted 16/01/2015 at 17:50:02 Jim -When I was in college I'd come home to my family's house in Wisconsin (moved there 2 days before my Sophomore year in High School).The Green Bay Packers - NFL team Jim - played in the old County Stadium 3 games a year in Milwaukee. I used to go watch those games when they were 4 wins and 12 losses with a guy named Mike Tomczak at quarterback (worst quarterback in NFL history argueably). They were dreadful. Absolute crap. It was usually 10 degrees outside (-12C) and snowing.I had an absolute blast while freezing my privates off. Loved it.Go to the game Jim. Enjoy yourself. Everton need support right now, not guys worrying about how cold it'll be, confident they're about to witness an "execution job".Get stuck in Jim! Matt Traynor 14 Posted 18/01/2015 at 11:21:24 I think this is the EPL Away Fans Initiative that was launched last year. If memory serves me right, it's £200k per club over 3 years, with the clubs to use as they see fit. Subsidising tickets is one, albeit easy, method of disbursement.Stoke provided free coach travel to all away games – dunno if they repeated it this year, although it only benefits those who actually live in Stoke.I can recall an awful night or two at London games years ago when we'd turn up in droves – and it wasn't just London / SE-based Blues – as testified by the rakes of coaches queued up outside Stamford Bridge after.
