- Everton release prices of their season tickets for the upcoming season.
- Club opts to increase cost of adult season tickets, which rise on average by £45.
- An increase after just one season at Hill Dickinson Stadium feels harsh.
Everton’s decision to raise the price of adult Everton season tickets has come at a time when supporters are already annoyed with the features of modern football.
In a season where fixtures have been shoehorned into midweek slots – albeit not a fault of the club – and some have struggled to cope with the difficulties of moving to a new stadium, the decision to increase the prices of adult season tickets is certainly a slap in the face.
The Toffees always have a special place in my heart, and the same can be said for thousands of loyal Evertonians.
We have stuck by them and shown our most passionate colours in times of immense need, but the decision to make following our beloved club more expensive is harsh.
Two consecutive price rises for my season ticket
In the final year at Goodison Park, I was classed as a young adult as I fell into the 18-24 category.
But when securing my season ticket for the 2025-26 season, this category had been shrunk to 18-21, and I am now classed as an adult.
This aspect I understand, at 23-years-old I am happy to be classed as an adult – even if it means a significant increase in the cost.
However, after accepting this cost, it is unpleasant to see another increase just one year after settling in at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
In the 2024-25 season, I was eligible for a season ticket that had a starting price of £390; now I am eligible for a ticket with a starting price of £640.
Profiting off loyalty?
Everton have created some of my finest memories, and the same can be said for many other Blues.
But they should be mindful that in times when living costs continue to rise, loyal Evertonians may be priced out.
The Toffees have been reliant on their supporters, from coach greetings to booking time off work, they have shown their passion to cheer on their team.
Yet being told that their ability to go watch Everton has been made more expensive is something that has not been well-received.
The club ought to read the room in the current economic climate we all find ourselves in.
I shudder to think they want to profit off the loyalty of their supporters who have stuck with them through some of Everton’s toughest moments…
