If you’ve ever tried to grab an Everton ticket for a Premier League home match, you already know the drill — the official portal opens, you refresh, and within minutes the best stands are gone.

When Do Everton Tickets Go on General Sale?
General sale dates are announced on evertonfc.com for each fixture, and the window is typically short — most Premier League home matches sell out quickly. Everton has approximately 31,500 general admission tickets available per game, according to industry guides, though demand regularly outstrips supply.
Official general sale dates
Everton announces sale dates per fixture on the club website. Fans who are not members generally have to wait for this general sale, which is described as rare for high-profile matches. The club’s official ticket portal at eticketing.co.uk/evertonfc is the primary channel for all public sales.
Membership priority periods
Official members can buy tickets three days before general sale opens. The Everton membership scheme costs £35 per year for adults and £20 for under-17s. The scheme replaced the older Foreverton scheme, according to the Liverpool Echo guide. For sold-out fixtures, season ticket members can relist their seat on the official resale platform from as early as the summer.
Upsides
- Face-value pricing guaranteed on official routes
- Club-integrated buyer protection on resale platform
- Members receive priority access before general sale
- Official exchange offers pro-rata refund of 1/19 of season ticket price to sellers
Downsides
- Most Premier League matches sell out quickly
- Secondary market prices can reach $791 or more
- Resale platform only open to members initially
- Buying from touts risks criminal prosecution and refused entry
How Much Does an Everton Ticket Cost?
Official face-value prices vary by match category and stand. The secondary market, by contrast, operates on supply and demand — and for Everton matches, demand is consistently high. Understanding both layers helps buyers set realistic expectations before they log in.
Official face value prices
According to the Liverpool Echo, 2022/23 Everton Category 1 Premier League home ticket prices were £50 for adults, £35 for concessions, £15 for juniors in the Family Enclosure, and £25 in all other stands. Category 2 prices were £40 for adults, £30 for concessions, £15 for juniors in the Family Enclosure, and £25 in all other stands. Concessions apply to those aged 65 or over, and juniors are under 18. Current prices may vary by fixture; always check the official portal for the latest schedule.
Face-value adult tickets for Category 1 matches have historically sat in the £40–£50 range — a fraction of what the secondary market charges for the same fixture.
Secondary market prices (StubHub, SeatPick)
Data from the SeatPick aggregator shows an average resale price of $791 for the 2025/2026 Everton season, with a minimum starting price of $79. Prices fluctuate based on opponent, day of the week, and proximity to matchday. Unlike the official exchange, which caps prices at face value, secondary platforms let sellers charge whatever the market will bear.
How Does the Everton Ticket Exchange Work?
The Everton ticket exchange is the club’s official resale route, designed to let season ticket members offload seats they cannot use while giving other fans access at face value. It is distinct from unofficial resale in both price structure and buyer protections.
How to list a ticket for exchange
- Log into the official ticket portal using your client reference number and password.
- Navigate to Manage Tickets and select the relevant fixture.
- Tick the seat you wish to sell and choose “Sell via Ticket Resale.”
- Review the refund amount — a pro-rata 1/19 of the season ticket price credited to your account.
- Complete the listing. You can withdraw a listed ticket before sale and it returns to your control for normal use.
How to buy through the exchange
- Check the official resale platform — Everton resale tickets are initially available only to Forever Blue+ and Forever Blue Members.
- If tickets remain sold out after general sale, the platform may open to non-members at the club’s discretion.
- Browse available listings for your target fixture — tickets are sold strictly at face value for that stand and fixture.
- Complete your purchase through Everton’s eticketing system, which issues an official ticket directly.
- Note that listings close three hours before kick-off unless the club announces otherwise.
The official exchange protects buyers with club integration and face-value pricing, but the initial members-only access window means non-members must wait — or miss out entirely on sold-out fixtures.
How Do I Log In to My Everton Ticket Account?
Accessing Everton’s ticket system requires an existing account or creating one from scratch. For returning fans, the login process is straightforward; for first-time buyers, account setup takes a few minutes but is necessary before any purchase.
Forgot username or password
Login is through the official ticket portal at eticketing.co.uk/evertonfc. Existing fans need their client reference number and password. The Everton Help Centre at evertonfc.my.site.com/helpcentre/s/ includes a Season Ticket Transfer Guide and a ticket transfer portal for account management issues. Password reset and username recovery links are available on the login page.
Account creation for new buyers
New buyers can register directly on the eTicketing portal. An account is required even for general sale purchases. The process asks for basic personal details and, for season ticket transfers, Everton offers a dedicated transfer portal and guide through the Everton Help Centre. There is no fee to create an account, though a membership is needed for priority access and resale eligibility.
The implication: without an account, fans cannot purchase tickets during any sale window, including general public sales.
Is It Safe to Buy Everton Tickets on StubHub or Other Resale Sites?
The short answer is that unofficial resale carries real risks — legal, financial, and practical. Everton has an official face-value exchange in place, and the club’s own terms explicitly state that tickets may be recalled at any time, which can leave secondary-market buyers stranded.
Risks of unauthorized resale
Buying from touts is a criminal offence under UK law, and fans who purchase through unofficial channels risk not being allowed into Goodison Park. The Liverpool Echo reported that Everton previously used StubHub as a resale partner, but that arrangement allowed sellers to charge above face value — a key difference from the current official platform. Everton’s 2024/25 ticket terms and conditions state the club may require the immediate return of any ticket, including season tickets, at any time if it reasonably believes action is necessary.
Even if a ticket purchased on the secondary market appears legitimate, Everton’s terms give the club the right to invalidate it — leaving the buyer with a ticket that cannot be scanned at the turnstile.
Protection offered by official exchange
The official Everton resale platform offers guaranteed face-value pricing and a purchase embedded in the club’s own eticketing system. When a buyer purchases through the official exchange, their ticket is issued through Everton’s system, not a third-party platform. This contrasts with comparable clubs: Tottenham Hotspur describes its Ticket Exchange as selling designated seats at face value plus a small admin fee, and Fulham FC states season ticket holders have until three hours before kick-off to list seats — the same deadline Everton uses.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy Everton tickets at the stadium on match day?
A limited number of tickets may be available at the Goodison Park box office on match day, but this is not guaranteed. For sold-out fixtures, the box office will not have general admission tickets available. The official advice is to purchase in advance through the eTicketing portal or via the resale platform.
What is the difference between a general sale ticket and a membership ticket?
A general sale ticket is available to anyone once the public sale window opens. A membership ticket is purchased during the priority window — members get access three days before general sale. Membership costs £35 per year for adults and £20 for under-17s, and it also grants eligibility to buy through Everton’s official resale platform.
How do I transfer my Everton ticket to a friend?
Everton offers a ticket transfer portal and Season Ticket Transfer Guide through the Everton Help Centre. This is a separate function from the resale exchange — it allows season ticket holders to transfer their seat to another person for a specific match without selling it.
Are Everton tickets refundable if I cannot attend?
Single-match tickets purchased through the general sale are generally non-refundable. Season ticket holders who cannot attend a match can list their seat on the official resale platform; if it sells, they receive a pro-rata account credit of 1/19 of their season ticket price. Unused single-match tickets cannot be sold or transferred through official channels without a valid reason reviewed by the club.
Does Everton offer hospitality packages?
Yes. Everton has official hospitality options marketed through partners like Seat Unique. These packages include premium seating and additional amenities but are priced significantly higher than standard match tickets. They represent a separate purchase channel from general admission.
How early should I buy Everton tickets for a high-demand match?
For high-demand fixtures — local derbies, Champions League-relevant opponents, or Saturday 3pm kick-offs — members should aim to purchase the moment their priority window opens, three days before general sale. Non-members should monitor evertonfc.com for the general sale announcement and act immediately when it goes live. Most Premier League home matches at Goodison Park sell out well before match day.
What payment methods are accepted on the Everton ticket site?
The official eTicketing portal accepts major credit and debit cards. Specific payment options are listed on the checkout page of eticketing.co.uk/evertonfc. For hospitality packages purchased through partners like Seat Unique, payment methods may vary by vendor.
