Pricey for a mediocre team

http://www.evertonfc...n-ticket-prices

[heartsfc_fan]

That's cheap compared to some of the teams down there.

[Hartleys_Jam_Tart]

I would say actually pretty reasonable

[The Merse]

Not really.

The expensive ST's at Tynie aren't a kick in the arse off their lower priced options.

Thats why i thought aswell.

You would also get far better quality for your money compared to the SPL.

[Borthers]

Rather pay £500 for a year of EPL football than £300 for a year of SPL football tbh. Decent £95 deal for kids too.

[super_vlad]

Cheaper prices up to 21 is good as well. Over all its really well priced.

[fabienleclerq]

Bearing in mind the teams and players you get to see i think it's pretty good value.

[Tazio]

If you think that's expensive for the EPL please don't ever check out the prices for the big London clubs.

[Chester™]

Have to agree with the majority here. Prices look pretty decent and are structured well over the various classifications.

I assume that cup tickets and the like are not included? If they are, then its even more decent that at first glance.

Aye, £200 more to see some top teams in a great ground with great fans. Not exactly mediocre as well, reckon you've got a better xhance of seeing Everton get one over the big sides than us against the OF.

I agree , we pay £300+ to see Dunfermline twice, Killie twice, caley thistle twice etc when you look at it like that its not great value for money

[Vlad-Stupid]

You think that's expensive to watch Prem action every second week?

[Jambof3tornado]

Did anyone notice the guy with the camera in the wheatfield last weekend getting pictures of folk with season ticket cards out? I assume some advertising for our own tickets,which must be out soon.

[Dan Saaf]

Mine cost £460 at Tynecastle.....

I have 2.......

Ach well, its only money  

[bn jambo]

That pricing is not bad really, down here in Brighton lowest season ticket for an Adult is just under £400 and highest standard season ticket is just under £600 , It is a brand new stadium, but it's championship football you are watching, so for an extra £40 for the cheapest and an extra £70 for the dearest to watch EPL football , it doesn't seem that bad a deal ???

Brighton season tickets are like gold dust down here though, as it's the only team for miles around but they are set to add seats to the ground for next season to make it 30,000 seater and they have pledged to keep season tickets the same price for next season even if they get a play off place and make it into the EPl!!!!

Arsenal cheapest around £900, dearest £8,000

Everton is a bargain considering you get a Liverpool derby plus Man U, Man C, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs etc. It probably includes  FA Cup ties as well.

[heartsfc_fan]

Only £295 for Wigan  

http://www.wiganlati...2365361,00.html


(yes, it's only Wigan....but still)

[Bert Le Clos]

I'm pretty sure Fulham were one of the most expensive.

Think QPR are pricey too.

[...a bit disco]

Cheaper than Man U!

http://www.manutd.co...on-Tickets.aspx

[grumpyjambo]

that may be cheap for the EPL but with money getting tighter for a lot of people it is a lot of cash before you leave the house plus not knowing when the matches will be etc.

[McGlynn Style Advisor]

What do you think of Hearts prices if you think that is expensive?  

If anything it makes our prices look embarrassing. Which they are.

Only seen one team worth a sook this season and that wasn't even included in the ST.

The comparative pacakges been chelsea and arsenal are misleading, Arsenal offer all cup and champions league games amongst there tickets while chelsea offer a cheaper price for the seat for league games but all cup/champions league games get charged individually and usually at a premium of £60 a game. Its often reported that Arsenal are the most expensive but never reported the differences in what you get for your money.

At £95 for kids, that's pretty decent. You'd get half a dozen games a season against some really big teams and a few more against teams infinitely more appealing that 90% of the SPL.

Blackburn were selling seasons at just over £200 and you are encouraged to shout abuse at the Manager and Owners as well. Would suit many of the regulars amongst our home support at Tynecastle.

[merseyjambo]

Mediocre. That's right we've only turned over man city and Chelsea recently. Match day tickets for the gladws street end are about 34 quid a game. For bigger games they are more expensive. I'm paying 37 quid to see them play spurs in 2 weeks. I'm paying 27 quid for hearts v Aberdeen at end of march.

Which do you think will be the better game and value

I've already had this argument today, somewhere else but hearts prices are quite good.

A adult season ticket works out at £15.78 a game

While a OAP/FTE/under18 is £7.89 a game! Some people need to get a grip

I've got a grip, friend.

If I was being brutally honest I've enjoyed 2, maybe 3, games this season. The skill level is abysmal and the entertainment level even worse. Last two games I've left in the 65th minute and the 83rd (or something) minute.

It sounds fine saying 15 quid a game but that's before you factor in food/pint/bet/travel/away games/cup games

i wasn't trying to patronise you, was just stating the point that as a club i think we have reasonable pricing.

I personally enjoy last season much more than this one, but why should how the club is performing have to do with the ticket price?

As for the other factors that is the same for everyone the overall cost of football, but even look at how much you spend going to the movies these days.

People will always have a excuse of why they don't go, prices, quality, atmosphere etc but most of these things all come down to the money the club brings in from ticket sales. More season tickets mean more money for players, so better quality on the pitch.

I'm just sick of people always have a pop at the club about the price of tickets to support what is suppose to be our club that is dangerous close of going under!

Earlier on Twitter I wasn't having a pop at the club for prices, its the nature of the game in this country. In general Scottish football is wildly overpriced. A season ticket would do me no good due to work so I pay walk up prices when I go.

I liked your idea of a membership but I don't think we have the demand for something like that.

The movie example always gets used in this discussion but you are paying 8 or 9 quid to watch the best actors on the planet. We are paying £15 on average to watch Jamie Hammill struggle to cross a baw.

You say why should how the club is performing have an effect on ticket prices, would you have that attitude with ANY other business?

Having a pop at the club on here makes no difference to anything tbh. Out of blind loyalty I'll buy a ST but it won't stop me saying the prices are a joke.

Yep.

Although, it's genuinely getting to the stage where I'm beginning to seriously question this blind loyalty.

Get so little enjoyment out of a trip to Tynie these days its unreal. Get back from the game and the bird asks "How was it?", token answer "Pish."

"Why do you go then?"

Errrr...

Becoming harder to answer.

First, the level of entertainment is no worse than it has been for most of the last 50 years. People have misty-eyed nostalgic false memories of the good old days. Most seasons are not like 85/86, 97/98 and 05/06. Saturday, despite the result, was actually a more than averagely entertaining game.

As for pricing, our crowds suggest they are not far off being right. If we dropped prices by say 20% I doubt very much we'd fill the ground. If we dropped them by more than that (enough to fill the ground), we'd lose revenue.

View in the Gladwys is poor but atmosphere is incredible. Upper Bullens is a good view but not as much singing. Would go with Gladwys every time myself.

P-Dizz - if you get in early enough you should get tickets for the top deck for the biggest games. Seen Chelsea, Liverpool and Blackburn (the year they won the league) up there.

Best seat I ever got was in the Park End right next to the Kopites. They singled us out for our saltire with Everton and Hearts badges on it early doors and the Blues fans were loving our sheer hatred for them

Nice, I'll need to get down to a game or two some time. I'm sure even a game like Bolton would trump some of the shite served up at SPL grounds.

[merseyjambo]

I'm an evertonia member and it's rare that tickets even get to that level. I can't do a season ticket because I work 3 in 5 weekends. Once you have a season it's a bit easier to get away tickets. They are given to those with more credits first.

Home tickets are usually easy to get. Only time the full boards go up is usually when the kopites or united are at Goodson. It's a proper old fashioned stadium but I love it.

Upper bullens is ok but park end for kopites game is definitely place to go

I'm off to Goodison in a couple of weeks for the FA Cup game with Sunderland.
I'm on a FA Cup trip this season and have fool owed the winning team of each tie I've watched. I started in aug at Borrowash Victoria and have taken in about 8 or 9 different grounds. The league clubs being Bristol Rover, Arsenal, Sunderland and soon to be Everton.
Really looking forward to my visit to Goodison, I'm in the park end and it's £30 a pop. Not too bad a price for the premiership.
Sunderland was £20 and wasn't overly impressed with the stadium. Just the same as pride park, walkers etc with a top tier.
Arsenal however is the mutts nutts. Now that's how to build a stadium.
Oh and back to the op point, everton season prices are more than fair when you consider the product on offer.

[Gdog]

For me a great deal for EPL. the atmosphere at Goodson is incredible in big games and those prices offer great value with the players on view. The kids deal is great too proved a great success on cup games. Hearts have had success with lower price kids tickets too. Chelsea and arsenal charge
Upwards of 1.5k on some season tickets so very decent
Prices .
