2025-26 Season Tickets on sale starting 13 January

Everton has confirmed when Season Tickets will go on sale for 2025-26 - the Club's first campaign at its state-of-the-art new waterfront home.

As per the Season Ticket timeline and process communicated in October, all existing Season Ticket Members have now been contacted by the Club directly and informed of the date on which they will first become eligible to secure their seat at the 52,888-capacity Everton Stadium.

An online form has also been created that will allow supporters to easily check when family and friends they plan to sit with will be able to buy.

The first sales window, for Season Ticket Members with a tenure of 23 or more seasons, will open at 10 am on Monday 13 January.

Those supporters will have exclusivity until the second window, for Season Ticket Members with a tenure of 19 or more seasons, opens on Wednesday 22 January (10 am).

Also... rumour is that people on the waiting list have been getting emails and only about 3,000 seem to be guaranteed a seat. If that's the case, then it seems that most of the increase in capacity has gone on hospitality and other prawn sandwich seats. Hmm.

Not true (that most of the increase in capacity has gone on hospitality).

I'd be interested to know where the "only 3,000" figure of waiting listers guaranteed a seat comes from?

No skin off my nose, cos I'm guaranteed a season ticket, but I've got mates on the waiting list and I'm hoping they'll get a chance to buy one,

Okay, so this is what someone said on GOT: "I was 3,500/4,000 and not guaranteed a ticket."

I have to say, that's good to be fair.

Assuming you're below 3,000 on the waiting list and/or have 5+ years of membership.

So near and yet so far!!

Information about how to access tickets on a match-by-match basis and the priority that will be afforded to Official Members will also be shared with you next summer as we build towards Everton Stadium’s opening, helping you be best prepared to see the Blues in action at our new home."

Apparently.

Denni.

Is that from an email somebody on the waiting list has received?

The increase capacity is approaching 14,000. The increase in hospitality seats is only approx 4,000 (?) plus the recently-announced extra hospitality in the Upper East stand (another 2,000 say?).

More expensive, yeh, but I wouldn't count them as hospitality myself.

I was just being charitable with the figures in response to Michael!

So, whatever the corporate seating is etc, it does seem like they are only adding 3-3,500 extra season tickets for the plebs.

of the email doesn't mention numbers anywhere.

I’m genuinely interested.

There are currently around 32k season ticket holders. Add on 3k from the waiting list, 6k hospitality seats and 3k away fans, that’s 44k seats. I can’t see there being just under 9K seats available for a match-by-match basis, unless there are some other seating options I’ve missed out.

I still reckon there could be a minimum 6-8k off the waiting list, leaving about 4-5k seats available on a match-by-match basis.

There's something I seem to remember about the away fan allocation being made available having to be doubled for cup games, so only another 3,000.

“Current Everton Season Ticket Waiting List Status in 2024-25 — 34,000: This was the tally claimed by the Everton FC Shareholders Association in autumn 2024.”

So there’ll still be a substantial waiting list even after the new stadium opens.

Imagine what the figure might be if we were any good.

Unbelievable!

It's a risk, because it isn't money in the bank like season ticket sales are, but the value is higher. Each seat should be able to generate over a grand a year, an uplift of maybe 20% on an average season ticket, plus I would guess a one-off visitor will spend far more than a season ticket holder would in the club shop.

Anyone know if this is definitely the case?

Anyway, tonight is like Christmas Eve for us, with strong rumours of the takeover being tomorrow. Along with that, and the stadium supposed to be handed over to the club on Friday, things are hopefully beginning to look up for us.

It’s been a nightmare last few years for all of us, so from now on, it’s onwards and upwards!

On the other hand, if they are making thousands more tickets available on a match-by-match basis, I'm assuming priority goes to members – that's how other clubs like Arsenal do it, I think. So there's a much better chance of loyal fans getting to the match every now and then – and no more obscured views when they do either.

I'm sure Everton FC will take advantage of the ground move to bring it in for the coming season.

My season ticket card is electronic or digital; otherwise, the turnstile wouldn't click and I would not be able to get inside the stadium, so this is just more bollocks, especially for the people who genuinely don't want or need a mobile phone.

I was talking to a Liverpudlian who was telling me he went to the club and asked them to print a ticket because he wasn't able to attend a game and was “giving it” to his friend's son.

"If you're not going the game then we want the ticket back" is what he was told, so the only way his mate's lad could go to the game was if he lent the kid his mobile phone.

There's ways around everything and I've heard a lot of ticket touts at Anfield now use cheap mobile phones which their clients have to return once they have been to the stadium.

So, if you don't go every week, and you let others use your season ticket from time to time, get yourself a cheap mobile phone and leave it in your draw, just like you would a season ticket.

The things we are gonna have to do because of Premier League lies and requirements…

I have given my ticket to lads on TW on occasions in the full knowledge that it is easy for them to return it, I won’t be buying a burner phone!

The club probably do want us to return the tickets to them, maybe their sell-on price is more…

Don’t be putting ideas in the club's head, especially about digital tickets. I’ll have to get a doctor's note to excuse me — I’ve got a morbid fear of mobile phones… they terrify me!

Now I am not a "grassy knollist" by any long way but this is all part of control. In the not-too-distant future, it will, I promise, be a legal requirement to carry with you a smartphone.

Remember how we kicked off about carrying ID cards in the 1980s? You ain't seen nothing yet.

According to this “Clubs will retain some discretion to make some tickets available in other formats to supporters who have reasonable grounds to request them. This may include supporters who have a disability that makes the purchase or use of digital tickets challenging. Other examples include some group bookings, such as school or Club Community partners.”

As Tony says, the RS moved to fully digital a few years ago. Only the digital image on the phone allows entry. Print outs and screenshots don't work.

I'm with you, I prefer the plastic card as it can be easily lent to a mate. It's a bit more difficult to transfer your digital ticket but it's possible.

Also beware of some cheaper phones that do not have NFC, the system that allows payments to be read by a scanner. Check before you buy.

My seat is in Upper Bullens and the only way I can watch a home FA Cup game in my own seat is if the opposition don't take their full allocation.

I see that each group who qualify have a set time to claim their seats, I guess this won't be done over the phone as we wouldn't have the staff to cope, but I just hope it goes well.

The allocation for away fans in the FA Cup is ‘up to 15%'. That can be reduced if safety and security issues dictate.

We don't do paper tickets anymore I was told, (I got a receipt for the upgrade instead) and I disagreed with the person who was telling me this because I thought I was getting fobbed off.

She carried on denying the club give out tickets, until I asked her how complimentary tickets were now given out. I was told they still give out complimentary tickets but that's different. My-oh-my-oh-fucking-my.

It was easier to get a job on the docks with the Mersey Habour Board than get a season ticket for Bramley-Moore Dck.

It's going to be a little like stepping into a dead man's shoes!

Surely the person organising it on the day of selection won't be expected to pay for everyone in their group to secure the seats.

Another member of our group, however, only a few years older, doesn't have a smartphone, doesn't do social media, and never will. I'm sure there are thousands like him.

Rob, it's not really like renewing your season ticket as you've already got the seats and the names against them. Taking myself as an example, there are 5 of us sit together. The only way to get all 5 seats together is for one person to select them all at the same time.

Could I do that through “Friends and Family” and select a seat for all 5 but only pay for mine and the other guys get notified and pay for theirs… or would I have to pay for all 5?

It might give us all an idea of how many seats we will have a choice of depending on tenure. They must know the numbers for each tenure.

Also John # 15…….yes, I know we already have a seat number against our name, but we also have a customer reference number, which is what we normally use when renewing our season ticket. So in effect, we are still renewing in the same way, using our customer reference numbers.

The guesswork is do we wait until we get to the 10 or buy 4 at the 16 tenure and hope we can get the odd one between us!

If you want a guarantee you'll all sit together you'll have to wait for the lowest tenure and hope there's that many seats left together.

Then your mate with 10 years tenure can jump in. Job done!

Happened to me a couple of times when my next seat neighbour has missed a game.

Further to your post, if the club allocates seats equally in number across the 8 sales tranches, then I estimate there'll be about 3,000 seats going on sale per tranche.

The telephone sales might be busy on Day 1 of each tranche!

"One of those annoying fuckers who must have rugby balls for bollocks and sit with their legs six feet apart".

Not Rob H by any chance?

Wouldn't it depend on how many there actually were in each tranche? There could be say 15k with 23+ and 10k in the next tranche down.

Btw, Rob wouldn't lower himself to sit next to me. 🤣

I'm guessing because the Everton Shareholders Association was, I think, originally told that there would be 4 sales tranches.

I can't see that there will be even numbers in each tranche and the way the years have been spread would suggest there are more in top three tranches as they're 4 years apart whereas the lower ones are 3, with a 2-year gap thrown in.

There was an interview on a recent podcast with a club data person who said there would be 27,000 seats available when people with a tenure of 11 years become eligible.

I must admit though that I’m disappointed at literally having no chance of getting one. Perhaps naively, I thought that the whole idea of building a new stadium with increased capacity was to bring in as many fans as possible. The idea of having a waiting list in the thousands is surely a huge waste of potential revenue?

Anyway, I hope those of you that have stuck with the club through thick and thin by maintaining your season tickets get great seats at BM. Alas, those like me that were previously season ticket holders and go to a couple of games a season will have to keep on attending the odd match and nothing more.

I must say why haven’t the club fully explained the process and system of purchasing friends and family tickets ? Cheers anxious Gaza
