Season Tickets 2016/17- Nothing Will Be The Same

Not open for further replies.
I have to laugh at all the media reports regarding this on Twitter, and there's always at least one Kopite replying about 'you need to do this to fill your ground'.

The ironic thing is we really don't. Season ticket sales for this season were at a 25 year high.

It's just jealousy pure and simple. Their club only freezes prices (for some, not all; some have actually gone up) - but not before trying to charge £77 a ticket.

The stat that 1 in 4 EFC season ticket holders are aged 22 or under should scare the living daylights out of the arrogant RS. Whilst they're chasing the tourism buck, EFC are winning over the whole next generation in this city/surrounding area.

And really, they're bragging about their 'waiting lists' etc, but paying a third/double more than what I pay, are they seeing anything that's any better than what I see at Goodison? Some people simply don't get it.

Just said this in the kopite thread, and they call us bitter. Moshiris proper got them flustered
 

Canny PR move by somebody, be they old hand or new arrival, for not a lot of, in real terms, cost, given they've knocked a small % off what is now a minor Income stream.
Never the less it is to be applauded

Prices - big tick in the PR box

Catering and Kitbag next

And then they get older and pay the adult prices, it's a great long term plan and shows up the rest of the thieving clubs for what they are......

Absolutley - a kid that has been going from 7+ has it in their blood and will always go the game. My lad will be getting his 12th ST - he is 17! and it is now half last years price 149 instead of 300. He will be a lifelong STH as its his passion and way of life now. Well in Everton!

This is a brilliant piece of customer relationship management and PR. At the cost of less than £750,000 Everton have pulled off a master-stroke in terms of PR, and demonstrated a subtlety that was beyond the existing management team, I'm sure that new influences have been at work here.

Great news, the most exciting statistic is more than 25% of season tickets are below the age of 22 - this is what secures our future support and demonstrates the management acting as custodians for future generations.

Yes - wonder what the % is across the park - heard something like 5% below 16. Disgaceful. Remember a red mate trying to pass on his dads seat to his son so they could go the game had to pay £800 quid for a seven year old as no discount. Gave it up a year later - s he said if he can't take his kid without being ripped off they could stick it. Superb we have kids prices at £95 .

We have about 72% of our seats as STH, one of the higher percentages in the EPL, the RS have about 55% as STH, one of the lowest...I cba doing the Maths on the actual numbers...they can go on about this mythical waiting list but if it exists it's because they have far fewer STH's......

And this is exactly how we will develop. I watch Leicester Tigers RUFC and a few years ago the ground held about 16,500 and it was then extended to 24,000 then 26,000 because they did some great deals for kids, many were free. But they now have well over 16,000 STH's and have caught a new generation of supporters.......

They deliberately have a low number os ST's due to the need to have so many tickets open for the tour packages from abroad mate, seriously who you think spends all that money in the club shops for them, it's not the local rs thats for sure,

Indeed, on my last visit there with a RS mate, to watch Chelsea give them a stuffing, the Kop Shop was packed with Germans, Norwegians and Spaniards. I may have made a comment about being the only scouser there..........

Been a whilst since i've been back home now mate, but remember town on matchday when they had a home game just being full of full merchandise and scarf wearers carrying 3-4 plassy club shop bags absolutely bursting with stuff, strangely never heard one Kirkby accent amongst them either :D
 
The early bird stuff should be made clearer. You must renew by I think 1 may but early bird is available til later in the month by which point you might have lost your seat. Why the two dates?
