Everton set for season ticket sales record

I didn't have a season ticket this year but the cost of individual tickets for individual games is significantly higher if you attend all of the matches - in fact a complete fixture list could cost circa £700 when a season ticket could cost circa £550 or less for a decent seat. From a financial perspective it's a no brainer and the peace of mind of knowing whoever Everton play at Goodison Park you will have a reserved seat is also a factor.

Evertonians support the team and not the manager and that's another major reason for those high sales figures.

Makes a bit of a mockery of all of the angry threats on here to scrap season tickets.

I think sales would take off if we had a new ground as has happened with West Ham. Apparently, they've sold around 54,000, so far.

I haven't renewed and if you were at the game on Sunday you would have seen the almost constant advert on the big screens saying "Great Seats Released"

Urging people to get the newly released seats before the early bird deadline.

The steward next to said that 8,000 season ticket holders hadn't renewed (some might have moved to different seats) but it seems that there were a lot of newcomers taking the seats and many, many have not renewed.

The group of 4 around me being some of the many.

Tony (#10) – that's interesting. Most of my mates are in Lower Gwladys with one in Main Stand – all have renewed. I and my other mate have relocated from Top Balcony to Upper Gwladys (I was fed up with listening to away support asking if I was in a library!) and all the guys around us have renewed. Maybe it's different in other parts of ground?

If it's for financial reasons please excuse me asking.

I genuinely believe that many had become so fed up they weren't going to renew.

Can't wait for the fixtures to come out now. Onwards Everton.

Come early June, the Moyessiah is reinstated as manager...

The season ticket prices weren't frozen they were reduced by 5%. Everton were the first club in the Premiership to reduce prices, some since have frozen their prices. So for dyed in the wool blues like me it was a no brainer, Yes I wanted RM sacked in fact I didnt want him in the first place. But I have had to put up with lousy managers before and will no doubt have them again. But hopefully the next manager will be the right one.

I would just like to say that I think Evertons approach to young supporters is great. My Grandson sits next to me and he only pays £95 for his season ticket. There hasn't been much to cheer in the last 2 seasons but the sight of so many young Blues attending the game is truly heartwarming.

In truth, I wouldn't have known what to do with my Saturday afternoons when Everton are at home, although it had become an effort and a chore while Roberto was in charge... no fun going to the games.

Now, I think we have been given some hope that things will change for the better.

What's the new song for Goodison Park? "The times they are a changin'".

I want to spend more time with her but I would say about 20% of the decision was due to Martinez and just being fed up of watching boring shite footy for two seasons.

Can you imagine the outcry if that twat was reappointed? Cannot see Moshiri signing that one off, no matter how much BK begs him to bring his mate back.

Completely off topic, seems like we're 12-1 to finish top 4 next season and.......14-1 to be relegated! How is that possible? Guess the bookies, much like us, haven't got a clue what Everton will do next season. Still find the 12-1 for top 4 very poor odds, was expecting at least 33-1 if not 50-1.

Of course, I hope that will be proven not to be the case!

I get your point though, I certainly don't see Everton as The Peoples Club any longer.

This is a game changer for our club. Bill has made fuck ups, but this deal was a genius move. It's not surprising so many fans recognise the potential and want to see first hand what will be a transformational season for our club next season.
