£50 a ticket for any team is crazy but if people keep buying the clubs will keep selling it. Its the way of the world

demand is there so prices will stay up, let's see Everton spend similar amounts to us in the transfer market and maintain those kind of prices...

I was saying in one of my posts recently about I think within the next 10 years I can see Everton being the dominant force on Merseyside due to them cornering the market of all the up and coming local support, well tonights Liverpool Echo seems to be backing up my point.
I think while Liverpool have persued the Out of Town and foreign market they have took there eye of the local support by neglecting them and allowing Everton to become the true peoples Club on Merseyside. I think it's shocking when you read how cheaply you can get in to see the toffs, while our fans have to pay through the nose by subsidising an American Franchise.
Tonights Echo...
EVERTON FC have announced plans to freeze season ticket prices for all junior school kids at £5 per game for the 2013/14 Premier League campaign.
Following its introduction this season the move – which equates to a £95 season ticket - has proved popular with supporters at Goodison Park.
The number of under 16’s securing a full season ticket increased by 39% for the 2012/13 season, and this was followed by a 157% increase in the number of juniors becoming half season ticket holders since December.
To continue bringing youngsters through the turnstiles and making football affordable for families, the Blues have committed to maintain the low-price Season Ticket for kids in Year six or below, and Junior Blues (school years 7-11) will have their prices frozen in all areas of the stadium, including the Family Enclosure.
As the club reveal their overall pricing structure for the 2013/14 Premier League season, they were hoping for a repeat in the upturn of season ticket sales for the forthcoming term.
This season, there was a 6.35% increase in the number of supporters securing their seat at Goodison Park and to date, attendances are up 10.64% compared to the same time last year.
Ticket prices were determined following consultation with supporter groups and along with prioritising junior supporters, the club has ensured that loyalty is rewarded by guaranteeing the biggest discounts to those supporters planning to renew.
Returning adult season ticket holders will see an increase of £1.03 per Premier League game, on average. So an adult season ticket holder in the Lower Gwladys or Lower Bullens who paid £474.75 for this season, will pay £494.25 for the next campaign; in the Main Stand £546 [£565.50]; and in the Park End £560.25 [£579.75].
Those purchasing on or before the early bird deadline on April 18 will benefit from a minimum 25% discount based on individual match prices.
Match ticket-purchasing fans planning to upgrade to season ticket holder status for the first time in 2013/14, will receive a minimum
20% discount during the early bird window.
Chief Executive Robert Elstone said: “Every year we spend a lot of time considering season ticket pricing.
“We appreciate that buying a season ticket is the single biggest commitment that a supporter can make to the club and on the other hand, season tickets make up the biggest proportion of our matchday income so we have to make sure the pricing is right for us and it’s
right for the fans too.
“Once again this year we have spoken to supporters, including the fans’ forum, about the pricing structure and we are proud that we are
continuing to offer our youngest fans the opportunity to come through the turnstiles for the incredible price of £5 per Premier League game.
“Loyalty also played a significant part in formulating this year’s prices and renewing season ticket holders will receive the biggest benefits.
He added: “As a result of our 2012/13 pricing structure, it does mean a small average increase but the vast majority of our season ticket
holders, based on returning adult early bird, will see an increase of only £1.03 per Premier League game so we still feel it is great value
and remains as competitive as possible.”
Excellent post cool. I think Everton have played this very well. They realise the times we are living in and those prices are great value. £5 for U-16's is unbeatable. Match going fans like yourself, stan & faz are getting fleeced, it will be intresting to see how the club responds to this. your right on radio merseyside today the lad who runs the friendship between borussia monchengladbach and liverpool supporters said the club need to start getting the kids in at say £5 ago or even £10 `and he is right , and its not just the match going reds getting fleeced its all reds IE £5 to be on a waiting list plus much more . I agree! Something has to be done about this. Our problem is that LFC still sell out, which means that in the short term the club lose money on cutting prices. In the long run (if we manage to get a bigger stadium built) this would be a no brainer! Question is should the club go ahead with price reductions already at this point or wait until there are more seats in the stadium?

Question is should the club go ahead with price reductions already at this point or wait until there are more seats in the stadium? The thing is even if we do increase the capacity, FSG will still keep putting up the prices to pay for the building work and costs, this is what they did with Fenway Park, they just put the money they paid out back onto the match going fans in hiked up ticket price, would of been even worse if we were moving to a brand new stadium...

Is it not normal that small clubs would charge less than big clubs? No?

Well when demand falls so will prices, but like we say it's there NOW so prices will stand firm ( or even go up further)[/quote] if the prices go up will the demand continue ???? [/quote]
Not if Everton continue to let kids in for £5. Everton are looking at the long term, we have owners who are looking to make a quick buck [/quote]
quite correct, Everton know that by keeping match going fans intersted with competative admission prices, there long term fanbase will be protected whereas FSG are squeezing the life out of our matchgoing fans until you can hear the pips squeak and then they will just leave, our fanbase will be in tatters if we remain mid table for the next 6 or 7 years with no trophies while the toffs will consolidate a steady 34k average season fanbase...

Somebody needs to get in touch with members of the supporters commitee.
