Everton on course to sell out every match in 2016/17
Everton on target for highest ever season ticket renewal figures
Everton remain on course to sell out every league game at Goodison this season for the first time in the Premier League era.
And the increasing demand for tickets is fuelling belief that the club’s proposed new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock could be bigger than the 50,000 capacity indicated in an official Liverpool City Council report.
Everton are due to submit a planning application later this year with approval hoping to be gained by early 2018.
All 15 of Everton’s league games at the Old Lady this term have been sold out and club officials say the visit of Leicester City on Sunday is close to becoming the 16th.
Home games with Burnley, Chelsea and Watford are still to be played for the end of the campaign but Everton are confident there will not be a spare seat left for any of those fixtures.
The Blues have, for the first time, introduced a ‘registration of interest’ list for fans looking into the possibility of getting hold of a season ticket.
Renewals of existing season tickets, the club anticipate, could reach a club-record high and the Blues believe demand could outstrip supply for the 2017-18 season, where prices will be frozen and, in some cases reduced.

Everton are encouraging current season ticket holders to renew ahead of the ‘Guarantee Your Seat Deadline’ on Thursday.
The deadline represents the last chance for current season ticket holders to secure their seat or risk losing it to those supporters who have registered their interest in a season ticket for next term.
Richard Kenyon, director of marketing and communications, said: “There’s strong demand for season tickets from those renewing and those registering their interest.
“Renewals have been tracking above our predictions and above previous years since the day we went on sale.
“With only a couple of days left now until the April 6th deadline we’re confident we’re going to have one of the highest levels of renewals we’ve ever had.

“Team performance – particularly our results at home, good pricing and payment options, and a general feel-good factor have undoubtedly driven this, but the increasing scarcity of tickets is also having an impact.
“With every game selling out this season, fans appreciate that holding on to their season ticket or applying for one for the first time is the only way of guaranteeing a seat for the games next season.
“We’ve got a healthy number of fans on our pre-registered list, so there’s also a really important message to existing season ticket holders - unlike in previous years, if they don’t guarantee their existing place by 6th April, it’s very unlikely that they’ll be able to get any season ticket for next season - such is the strength of the numbers waiting to buy.”

When asked whether all fans on the pre-registered list will get a season ticket, Kenyon added: “We won’t know for certain until the renewal window has closed. What I would say is that it’s looking very likely that we won’t be going on general sale with season tickets this summer, so if anyone who is interested hasn’t registered yet, they need to do so quickly to be in with a chance.”
