Train with Everton legends and sit in the dugout – for £25,000

Train with Everton legends and sit in the dugout – for £25,000

Everton’s £25,000 charity match package is still open for booking as this update goes live on 23 September 2026. The Everton Game for Hope experience, officially called the LGNDS VIP Immersive Experience, has drawn fresh attention this week ahead of Saturday’s fixture.

The package runs alongside the Game for Hope charity match on Saturday, 26 September, which brings together former Everton and Liverpool players for a good cause. At £25,000 per person, it remains one of the most expensive fan experiences the club has offered.

Latest update on Everton’s £25,000 charity match package

Nothing has changed on the core offer since it first went on sale. The price stays at £25,000 per person, and the match date is confirmed for Saturday, 26 September.

What has moved is the conversation around it. Supporters are asking sharper questions about who this package is actually for, and whether a five-figure ticket sits comfortably with a club that has long leaned on its working-class roots.

The £25,000 package that tests the ‘people’s club’ tag

When David Moyes first walked into Goodison Park as manager in 2002, he called Everton “the people’s football club”. That line has followed the club ever since, repeated by supporters as shorthand for its identity and its bond with ordinary fans.

A £25,000 package sits uneasily next to that phrase. It is priced well beyond what the vast majority of supporters could ever consider, even for a charity fixture with a good cause behind it.

Everton’s identity has always rested on more than results on the pitch. Anyone wanting the fuller picture of how the club built that reputation can read the story and evolution of the Everton crest, which traces the values the badge is meant to represent.

Everton Game for Hope: What the £25,000 LGNDS VIP package includes

The Everton Game for Hope VIP package covers a full weekend built around the players, not just a match ticket. For £25,000, buyers get hotel access, squad access and pitch-side access across the build-up and the game itself.

The full list of what is included:

  • A stay at the official team hotel, with selected meals alongside the players
  • Travel with the squad and a place at the official Friday training day
  • Access to team and manager briefings, plus the pre-match team talk
  • Pitch-side access during the warm-up and a seat in the dugout for the match
  • A personalised kit, official accreditation and a signed shirt
  • Premium match access and entry to the official post-match celebration

It is, in effect, a behind-the-scenes pass into matchday life that no standard ticket comes close to matching.

What happens next for Everton and the Game for Hope

One detail remains unresolved. Official club announcements list Goodison Park as the venue for the Game for Hope, but some secondary reports have cited Everton Stadium instead. Until the club clarifies the point directly, Goodison Park is the version backed by the official announcements.

Fans who want the fullest account of how the package first came together can still read the original £25,000 VIP package report.

Away from Saturday’s charity fixture, the football calendar keeps moving. Moyes and his staff are also working through Moyes’ tactical preparations for the club’s next Premier League test, a reminder that the season carries on regardless of who takes the pitch this weekend.
