New Everton Stadium at Bramley Moore Dock

In fairness, that photo's at full time but obviously used for dramtic effect.

There was always going to be issues needing addressed and it'll take time to sort them out, no doubt some compaines have contracts for this season to take tickets so there's not much can be done straight away. But, I know like I've been beating the same drum there was a lot of tickets available for last night so it's not like people who wanted to go couldn't go. The only issue with that is tickets not being available to non members, that needs addressed but the club have backed themselves into a corner a bit with that one, firstly with it only being ballot originally and then not puting tickets on general sale to non members.

Personally I can see next season being more back to normal, priority purchase to members then general sale a few days after, the initial interest in the stadium has gone now and there's clearly lots ot tickets not getting into the hands of fans.

I think all Premier league clubs sell tickets to members only, if just on free sale you have away supporters scattered all around the ground. I am prepared to sit on my hands in home section of an away ground but have tried to buy tickets for Arsenal, Spurs, Fulham, West Ham, Spurs but unable to do so unless I sign up and become a member, annoying as I live about half an hour from some of those grounds.

The membership stuff isn't really sustainable but they've committed to it now and obviously people (including myself) will still buy it for season ticket/match going purposes. I think there'll be some quite low attended matches next season (and Burnley this season) which isn't so much down to lack of demand but pricing and unnecessary barriers to access.

yeah £65 is so expensive to watch us forget how to be footballers against other dross. Add in train fares, or extortionate parking prices, a 30/40 min walk in the freezing rain, £6 for a drink, £15 for a hot dog.....

Need to figure this out in the summer, cos its not working.

Glad you said it. Our ticket prices are very expensive. I get it’s a new stadium and maximising revenue etc but it’s very steep

None of that will change though so if it’s not working for you then you have the choice not to go.

They can’t change the location, or the weather, nor will they change the prices.

If we were winning, people would have a different perspective on the place.

Was about to say they may not increase next season but no chance they will reduce, it’s the going rate in the Premiership and cheaper than many. There are also many concessions around £45 , under 21’s , seniors , family. The budget for player acquisitions is determined by the total revenue generated, if you want to compete you need to be up there. Was looking at a ticket for the Fulham away match, cheapest ticket, not premium was £110.

I don't think £65 is too bad these days, we were probably spoiled a bit at Goodison, even in the last season tickets were about £55 for a restricted view, I've still got a stub from an FA Cup game against Chelsea in 2006 and it was £42 in the main stand so they never went up too much over the years. London clubs have been charging around £65 for about 10-15 years now.

Got to say the Bramley Moore experience has improved significantly for me over the past few months. Again on Tuesday night, straight out of Lime St., cross the road to Commutation row three 919 buses lined up at 5pm, constant shuttle with last bus leaving 7pm. Drop off point five minute walk to Stadium. For return they parked opposite side of the road by that big Chinese
food place, buses lined up, back to Lime street in 20 minutes.
Pre match, discovered the Bramley Moore Social, massive place with good selection of beers , live music and atmosphere.
No need to walk in rain.

I mean they can change the prices....

They can work with councils to sort more parking or more accessible ways to get to the ground.

Yeah prob be alot better if we were winning.

My biggest problem with Bramley Moore is it's too friggin nice for the away teams....we've made it too nice and comfortable for them i reckon...changing rooms and facilities probably a lot better than most of the visiting teams home grounds who visit us..first time experience for them must be brilliant hence they actually raise their game.... where we cant....

Also 2TierRam was absolutely correct about the South Stand. I actually think the flag displays make the fact they're two different things even more clear. This should be covering the top and bottom of the stand.
