Everton have announced their Season Ticket pricing for the 2026-27 campaign, confirming that most supporters will face another price hike as the club enters its second year at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Everton have released the pricing structure for the 2026-27 season, revealing a second consecutive year of increases since their move to the new waterfront stadium. While the club has decided to hold prices for younger fans and families, the average adult supporter will be digging deeper into their pockets to watch the Blues next season.

The figures show an average adult increase of approximately £45, which the club is framing as an "uplift" of £2.26 per game. However, for those in more premium sections of the stadium, the rise is capped at £85.

Renewal window is open from today, Friday 4 April, until 4 pm on Wednesday 20 May.

The new pricing tiers for the 2026-27 season are:

Category Price Range
Adult (22-64) £640 – £900
Young Adult (18-21) / Senior (65+) From £480
Junior (11-17) From £256
Under-11s Frozen at £199

In a small victory for the Fan Advisory Board (FAB), the club has committed to freezing prices for Under-11s and adults seated within the Family Area. Additionally, all existing concessionary categories have been retained — a move the club pointedly noted contrasts with several other competitors in the Premier League who have begun stripping away senior and youth discounts.

The Friedkin Group, now firmly in control of the club's financial levers, is citing the ongoing need to "bridge the gap" with Premier League rivals. Despite the significant revenue boost provided by the 52,769-capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium in terms of matchday and other commercial income, Everton remain in a period of financial recovery following the disastrous last years of the Moshiri era.

According to the club, the extra revenue is essential for compliance with the Premier League’s new  Squad Cost Ratio regulations and for providing the funds necessary to improve the playing squad under the new ownership.

While the retention of concessions is a welcome move, the decision to raise prices during a continued cost-of-living squeeze will likely sit poorly with the rank and file. The FAB had reportedly lobbied for a 3-year price freeze following the move from Goodison Park, arguing that the increased capacity and commercial opportunities should be enough to sustain the club without asking more from the match-going fan.

But instead, supporters are seeing prices that have now risen significantly above the rate of inflation since the final year at Goodison Park. For many, the "New Stadium Premium" is becoming a permanent fixture of being a Blue.

Season Ticket Members wishing to relocate seats must first renew their existing seat during the initial window, which opens early next week.

I see Everton have released the prices for new season ticket.

Adult (22+) = £965, Senior (over 65) £724, Junior (11- 17) £386

This is about a 9% increase on last season.

A 9% hike seems a bit steep given the extra TV revenue pocketed by the club for numerous weeknight game moves which aren’t ideal for fans.

Still, most of us will pay it so I guess you can’t blame them…..

The sneaky Yanks have also removed Sections 127 & 128 from being a Family Area and shot them up to Zone 1 pricing.

Glazers, Mk 2!

9% is a disgrace, especially during a cost of living crisis.

Also, the stadium is so wonderful, it will rake in money on non-matchdays, ie, the rugby and international football matches, never mind concerts.

Maybe before the start of next season we could have a 4-team competition to bring in money too -- low cast tickets!

Mine has gone up by about 4%, which is tolerable, I guess

£50 mine have gone up.
Not too bad.
Not happy with the family sections being changed into adult sections

Hardly worth commenting on, it's so predictable.

American ownership and American ethics.

Mike (11),

Sorry, there is not enough space on ToffeeWeb to ramble on about the calculus of utility.

The difference between the season ticket price per game and the Forever Blue ballot price per game is huge. I suspect TFG knowing this will expect very few season ticket holders to give them up.

The biggest issue for me is the reduction in the family area. My grandkids will be much less likely to come with me. For this season, it costs only £2 more for me (a pensioner) and his dad to take my grandson in the Family Section than it costs for me and his dad to go in the South Stand without him, so we always put in for 3 ballot tickets.

I can't see it happening next season if there's less chance of getting 3 tickets or if we have to pay South Stand prices.

Just renewed my season ticket for the Upper North Stand -- paid £600.00 in full!

We are a family club, Micky. Always have been.

I don't think I've been in a ground with more women and kids than we get.

It's wrong to cut the seats in the family sections.
Liam Mogan

They were never going to go down or stay the same were they?

We'll have to fork out even more next season for midweek Champions League games!

Won't be long before we get 'dynamic' prices in football. Nearly every other entertainment industry has it.

'American ethics' is an oxymoron.

John @15. Dead right.

Block 128 has been wonderful this season. Never managed to get in the Family Enclosure at Goodison Park but this season, 3 grandkids have been to 7 games with me and their dads.

We've been lucky in the ballot -- 7/10 because the family section is big. They are absolutely hooked to live games and are desperate to go in the ballot.

I may be wrong -- but we may lose kids from the fan base. Although more adults will have a chance with these two blocks which are always full.

So after sticking with the team through thin and thin, relegation battle after relegation battle, this is the thanks we get?

A lot of pensioners sit around me, and it seems like they are going to be priced out of the one thing in their life that's always been there for them.

I was only saying not so long back to a few of the lads, it won't be long before we end up like that crowd over the park.

And where is the reaction of the FAB? At least the Spirit of Shankly crowd have challenged their club over their season ticket hike, and they've watched trophy after trophy being lifted. We've watched dross and been the butt of their jokes while doing so.

That ground alone will pull enough revenue in, without sacrificing loyal fans along the way.

Absolutely sickening.

Hi,
I'm after 2 tickets for West Ham away.

Can pick up and collect anywhere round the Merseyside area.
Thanks

Micky,

Agree 100% mate. Ask any Liverpool fans you know how often their kids get a chance to go the game.

This is what you get with American owners.

My ticket has gone up about 4%.

I think the last few years at Goodison the rises were similar and the price hike when we moved was significant. The club should have considered this and listened to the FAB.

Regarding the Family enclosure, I was surprised to see that section included last season, due to its location. I can understand why the club has done this, but any season ticket holders in that section who are forced to move should be offered reduced priced tickets.

If people want to blame something or someone, they should blame the rules that link spending on the team to revenue.

TFG can't simply pour money into the club. If they use the revenue to build the team, then they are doing what is required. If there was evidence they are ‘milking' the club then that is something that would deserve huge criticism.

The club will also suffer the effects of increased utility prices and will need to give the matchday workers cost of living wage increases as well.

Why supporters think that they somehow should be eternally protected from economic reality is beyond me.

It was inevitable that prices would rise, a new stadium needs to be paid for -- as does the investment for a team worthy of the stadium.

I think most Premier League clubs would now be happy to fill their stadiums with tourists every week, as they spend significantly more in the club shop, stadium etc than your regular match-goer -- piping atmosphere into grounds will be the new ‘normal' at some point...

That's capitalism for ya; morals and ethics can swing.

Andy @19,

And where is the reaction of the FAB?

Seems it took them a while yesterday to cobble it together and post it on Twatter:

The Fan Advisory Board said it had made its feelings clear to Everton chiefs and that it would collect feedback from supporters before deciding its next move.

Pity they don't seem to update the 'News' section of their website...

No one likes prices increases, but it was inevitable that prices would go up due to economics effecting everything not just football.

We have a brilliant stadium, top class facilities, comfy seats, no obstructed views, so a 9% increase is the cost of half a bitter on matchdays over the season.

As for criticizing the "American" owners? There's some really ungrateful posters on here. You want to have a think about where we are and where we would be without them.

We all want progress for this great club and our American friends are doing a great job so far.

FAB are a box-ticking exercise by the clubs, not fit for purpose.

They should resign en masse to get a reaction to the ticket increases, night games fiasco, and to being generally ignored by the club.

Are any further season tickets being released for next season?

I haven't heard anything from the club and chasing tickets in a ballot is a pain in the arse... I don't think l've been any lower than Row 62 either.
John Collins

It's better than going bust. But the alarm bells are there with the Friedkins.

Dan not bothering to show up even once is just appalling, and then them appointing a plonker like Kinnear, it aint great. Still, it could be a lot lot worse.

As a blue that hasn't had a season ticket for over a decade, can I ask the thoughts of you guys that do?

The kopites protested today about the ticket rises. Is there likely to be a blue wave similar? Or is it okay?

I think I understand either way. But interested in your view?
John Collins
35 Posted 11/04/2026 at 22:56:51
It's a captive market, Chris.

Like gold dust, mate!

Thanks for that, I didnt realise the FAB had put anything up.

So fair play to them for that.

I think we all knew what would be coming; over the years I've been watching, football has changed. Clubs know they can sell tickets, in fact, if you did not take up your season ticket next season, they would probably make more money selling the seat or seats to supporters who come along a couple of times a year.

I have family members who have Liverpool season tickets in the main stand. They comment that, at most games, they see different people sitting around them.

A couple of months ago, one told me, he had 6 Chinese guys from Hong Kong. Prior to the game, they had all spent hundreds of pounds in the club shop and that's what clubs want. Different spectators who will spend money. I would suggest most regular supporters very rarely go into the store.

A couple of weeks back, I visited Porto. To my surprise, I wondered how locals could afford match tickets -- they are much higher than at Everton, even charging €60 for a tour of the ground... and you are not allowed in the changing rooms.

I think we had it too good for too long; increased ticket prices were always going to happen.

The stadium is quality and we need to compete financially if we are to progress. Obstructed views are a thing of the past.

I am on the waiting list having given my season ticket up some years ago when I lost my job. I do believe that it's the means to an end to make us more competitive -- we just need entertaining football to justify the cost of the ticket.
