New Everton Stadium

In the process of being gentrified now.

That's ok if you can ghettoise the rich gets in a few sections of the stadium; but this is a working class club and there will be pushback if eventually people who have been regular Goodison matchgoers are asked to fork out upwards of 100% increase for a season ticket.

The stadium is great etc and will enhance the club's status/profile/revenue, but if it comes at a price that reduces Everton game day attendance to a middle class aspiration then any new owner will have a fight on their hands.

Any new owner coming in - short of an oil sheik with billions to spend on a vanity project - will sweat this facility, whether it's TFG or any other takeover consortium/individual.

The opening season's ticket prices will set the tone.

How much do you think a season ticket should be?

For this place? The highest non-concession ticket outside of the hospitality suites should be no more than £800; concessions for kids and OAPs should be significantly cheaper. Obviously concessions wont be at the rate they were in Goodison, but kids should be pegged at £350 max and OAP's at £500 max.

The stadium is a better facility but the spectacle will still be largely poor. And this is a club supported by people from some of the most deprived areas in the country and is, in fact, located in one.

I think they'll be around that.

Or the cost of a single match ticket at Goodison above or below it.

I'll be disappointed if it's more.

Concessions, think it's asking a lot to expect £18-£25 per match ticket in today's world at a new stadium though.

Looking at Spurs ST for OAPs: on average they're about £550. And that's a more expensive part of the country, so maybe the OAP concession should reflect that here at the docks...
 
is this new package plus VAT? I believe the other packages were and that makes it even steeper for those of us who cant fiddle tax returns

Also all your getting is access to a concourse and pre loaded food and drink.............doesn't say how much! So approx 60 pound a game for an adult.

We should be priced the same as the average premier league club with a world class stadium. That’s if we want to stay in the premier league

You're 25 years out of date with this. I sympathise to a point, but the reality is the Premier League is now a globalised league with globalised players. Even the England manager is a foreigner. After the globalised league - nobody calls it the English League any more - and the global players come the global fans.

If Everton wants to compete at the top, then the old cosy days of being a provincial, parochial club are over. It's a global game now with global rules. I'm not condoning any of this - here in Germany the game is far more local and parochial than it is in England, and it's better for it - but, as always, England is far more right-wing on economic and social matters and embraced the wild west of football capitalism in ways the continentals never dared. I blame Thatcher.
