Yep, but until recently it has never been a problem for us
If we progress as hoped over the next few years, ticket availability for the fan who can't afford a season ticket could be a short term issue until we have a new stadium. Even then we should cap the season ticket holders at 90% of home capacity or something to make sure there are tickets available from game to game - obstructed views etc should thankfully become a thing of the past

I know what grand old team is saying, its the feeling of nostalgia for fans who cannot attend regularly, am I right?

How if they have a waiting list?
I'm of the view that the young lad/girl, with a mum an dad with not much in their pockets should be able to take them the odd game when they can.
The club have done wonderful with the prices for young fans - but I'm concerned that, if in June we've already sold 8 out of every 10 seats at Goodison for the whole season - then we're at risk of becoming less accessible.

I think you're absolutely spot on there
It's too late to really do anything about that in the short term though
The club won't impose a season ticket cap less than the number of existing STH, so we're potentially going to have a supply and demand problem for 3 or 4 years (assuming the stadium issue progresses as hoped).
Don't really see any way around it

You know what, this is never something I've really thought about but I actually strongly agree with this.
I was introduced to football on the "dad and lad" going to the odd few games a season - there's no way my family could have afforded a season ticket for the both of us. It wasn't a realistic option.
Plenty of times in the 90's we walked up on the day when my dad had found a bit of spare money lying about. I hope there aren't similar boys and girls in similar predicaments who end up disappointed and never capture the excitement and buzz of walking up the steps and seeing the pitch.
Not to mention the chance to develop the fan base - which is something we will need to do once the new stadium arrives. Nothing worse than a 55k/60k goldfish bowl that's only three quarters full.

I'm pretty sure they've sold 25k, which is what they limit ST sales at. That's also why they have a waiting list, we would too if we had stopped 6k people (so far) from buying a ST.

Oh no I got it.
I just agree.
And I listed why I agreed I guess!
Fear not! We can discuss this when we win the league with a messi winner in May!

There are very very few instances like this scenario in American sports however, I live in a town that perpetually prices people out of the game because the market value has been inflated due to alumni. A ticket to the local football team run in the hundreds and almost a thousand for the big rivalry games. What is amazing is that the stadium holds 110,000. Yea thats a lot.
It was an out lying factor in why growing up my family turned to more fiscally available sports like soccer. I ended up falling in love and playing all through college and as a result purchase season tickets for the local team at a whopping $320 a season. Affordable and accessible. Even on the sell outs you can find tickets for what i will still say is a reasonable amount (under $100).
I cant imagine how frustrating it is for families in that same predicament there.

There'll be tickets floating about for people who can only make the odd game (im in this category) and if you're local chances are you can find someone who can't make the game in your network
Just the view from someone just starting out trying to build myself an actual career in a sector thats getting done over hard atm (healthcare)

Plus over here you can always go to away games if you can't get tickets at home. It's not really dangerous to go to an away game and sit among the home supporters, as long as you don't act like a goon. If you did that at most PL grounds you would have a really bad time, even if you were polite about it.
