Nobody better than the Blues, superb.
I would hope that it extends to the rest of the categories but we'll see. Still a fantastic move either way.
not half
Good bit of PR that and explains the delay in announcing the prices which presumably is because Moshiri's going to be in charge. We'll never know if Moores and Noelle planned to do the same, but my guess is they didn't
Doubtless someone will still moan though !
'kin dead right, remember my estimation if they reduced prices would cost 9mill MAX, well with 1 in 4 being kids then I reckon it'd be about 4 mill MAX.
anyway where's the Adult Prices ?
Fans aged between 18 and 22, at university or college, on apprenticeships or in their first jobs, or trying to find work will be able to buy a ‘Young Adult’ Season Ticket fixed at £299 across all stands, replacing this season’s price of up to £382, and costing our young adult fans less than £16 per game to watch Premier League action at Goodison Park.
Prices are also reduced in the Senior category with a Season Ticket in any stand in the stadium reduced to £299, representing a saving of between £29 and £86 for the 3,000 fans in this age group.
Chief Executive Officer Robert Elstone said: “Throughout the current season, the Premier League has been challenged on pricing decisions. As we have said repeatedly, we endorse such scrutiny. We have listened and we agree. We believe our pricing plan for Season Tickets for 2016/17 clearly demonstrates our commitment to providing value for money and to making the game accessible to the widest possible cross-section of supporters.”
“After listening to fans, consulting with our Fans’ Forum, considering different options, reviewing budgets and sharing our ideas with the Board, we made the decision to ensure our Season Ticket pricing for 2016/17 offered something for everyone. We were conscious of the substantial uplift in the value of our media rights next season and reflecting how we operate at Everton, not only will we offer significant savings for the majority of our young and senior Evertonians, we will reward all adult Season Ticket holders with a price reduction of one-nineteenth, one free game, and more than £27 off in the Lower Bullens.”
Almost 25,000 fans benefited from the Early Bird price window when purchasing Season Tickets for the 2015/16 campaign and the Club’s ongoing commitment to make football affordable for families and young people has resulted in one in four current Season Ticket holders being under the age of 22. The Early Bird window for Season Ticket sales will open on Monday, 21 March at 8am and will remain open until midnight on Wednesday, 25 May. The Guarantee Your Seat Deadline for existing Season Ticket holders will be Tuesday, 3 May.
Everton will continue to offer a nine-month interest free payment option through MasterCard, and a Direct Debit facility available over 10 monthly instalments. There will be no booking fee for online transactions.
An Important thing there for me as well is the guarantee your seat deadline..3rd May extending my get a job to be able to renew deadline, for me it should always have extended beyond the end of the season. Might even do minimum payments on the mastercard then do an interest free balance transfer thing as well to defer it all, no chance she's getting her way, she'll try to force me to give it up & then we'll go our separate ways.... they think we're thick (although last years renewal was almost the final nail).
