Given the lack of current corporate capacity it doesn't sell that well at all in comparison with our peers.
Because it falls short of the level expected in that sector

Do Everton Football Club sell out all their hospitality packages regularly?
Answer: yes ....for yes
Or
...No... for no.
We talk about corporate facilities and all and I totally accept that in the real world all that is important but for me being Evertonian is just part of who I am as a total person. I love real things, tradition, respect, regard for others and the past. My being an Evertonian fits in with my life if you see what I mean.
Goodison is being where our fathers our grandfathers even our great grandfathers stood cheered moaned and celebrated. Saw titles won is style, saw relegation, saw some of the greatest players ever ( Dean, Lawton, Young, Ball, Southall ) and saw some poor teams as well.
It's purely emotional. For me - indeed for all of us - Goodison is not any place, it is the place where our team plays and we gather to see them
It'll break my heart.

Totally agree mate, when I take my son to Goodison it's a place where 5 generations of the family have gathered to play for or watch our beloved Blues. It's a totally special place for that reason plus many more, not least the fact that for many others in the ground the place has that same significance.
Just to add some reality into the mix here, the average bum on seat price for 2014/15 season for all matches including European and cup matches was £19.47p.
This will also include the internal sales for hospitality and is the turnover figure in Goodison Park Stadium Limited divided by the total attendance reported in the same Company's accounts.
I know that this is skewed due to cheaper cup and European matches but @The Esk s assertion of approx £21 per ticket for a Prem match holds up.
If ticket prices were static, this would only generate 210,000 per match based on an extra 10k seats with all additional tickets sold, or £3,990,000 per season if there were no home cup ties or European football.
If prices went up £5 incl VAT per seat, the increased revenue would be £(4.16666×48500×19) =£3,839,577.
So bums on seats adds £7,829,577 per season - wouldn't cover interest on, say, 200 mil borrowings
The money is to be made in corporates, so
if anyone is remotely bothered and has current hospitality and future hospitality capacities to hand please share, as I am bored and can probably work out a rough hospitality premium based on the accounts and project for the future.

Leicester hospitality's sold out.
Stoke only has the city centre hospitality left, which was added ( a few years ago ) because Goodison doesn't have the capacity.
If more hospitality was added and it was marketed correctly I'm sure we'd sell more. How much more, I have no idea.
Same goes for selling regular seats. We're regularly at capacity. It's not hard to envisage regularly selling another 3 or 4 thousand seats without much effort. Put a bit of effort in and that, with a more successful team, will pull more people in.
People have been fed the line that we're second class citizens so long that they end up believing it. I doubt the current board have the ambition and vision to take the stadium forward. Hopefully, one day, someone will come in who have the necessary drive and vision.

Blues' match day lounges all sold out for the rest of the season
Former Everton striker Jim Pearson in action in the lounges as one of the club's match day hosts.
Corporate hospitality at Everton FC’s Goodison Park ground is so popular that the club will have to introduce a waiting list for next season.
Match packages are already sold out for the remainder of the current season, meaning the club is having to outsource around 150 fans each game to Liverpool’s Hilton Hotel because the Goodison Park lounges are packed out.
Guests are bussed to the ground after pre-match dining, and bussed back to the Hilton for a post-match service.
The club’s hospitality team has picked up several awards recently, including Chef Team of the Year 2013 in The Football Hospitality Awards, under the guidance of head of corporate hospitality Gary Wilton.
Last season the Blues had 990 lounge members, and this season there are 1,255.
It is already anticipated there will be more than 1,300 lounge members for the 2015/16 season, which will lead to the creation of a waiting list, as well as external hospitality offerings.
Mr Wilton said the club had come from a low base due to the financial crisis, but he added: “The higher sales shows the confidence people have in the local economy now and they are more likely to spend.
“Also, we have a team that people are extremely proud of.”
Mr Wilton acknowledges that he and his team cannot influence what happens on the field, but the quality of their corporate hospitality offering is clearly a winning formula.
He said London Premier League clubs can boast some of the City’s big hitters among their corporate clients, but Everton caters just as well for corporate, and individual clients: “We like to provide a relaxed environment for our clients.
“We try and make sure the experience is so good people come back. We entertain people and have former players as match-day hosts.
“We get to know our members and know when their birthdays are and when their children are coming. It’s the personal touch that gives us an edge over other clubs that might be a bit more corporate.
“We’re always looking to target businesses, but lots of our members entertain their business contacts, as well as family and friends.”

I thought the Crystal Palace announcement on investors/buyers yesterday was very interesting.
I think it is probably a blueprint for what will happen at Everton if the talks with the interested parties come to fruitition.
Interesting also that the said the talks were ongoing for eighteen months.

Tend to disagree with you mate. I think a brand new stadium with all "mod cons" and a team playing attractive, successful football would pull in many more fans than at present, and on a consistent basis. Just a pity it's not going to happen in my lifetime!

For me, a visit to Goodison has always been a cup of tea in the Church Hall first, and then into the ground. I love that. Although I rarely go these days due to work, family and living in Sheffield I've been to Goodison over 300 times, and my dad has been going for over 70 years and still has a season ticket. We are pretty much the last "proper" big football club left. We could redevelop the stands one by one, increase capacity, improve facilities and pay for it all gradually so we didn't have to bankrupt the club or lose our history. We need to just get on with that, and forget pie in the sky projects.

Once we'd knocked down and rebuilt all 4 stands on the same limited plot, it wouldn't be Goodison as we know it when it was finished anyway though, it'd be a new stadium on the original footprint.
The nostalgia and memories are all part of why we love the place, but it's not fit for purpose moving in the C21st and leaves us lagging behind our peers.
Building a new stadium on the same plot limits the potential as it's not big enough by modern stadia standards.
