**Everton fans have expressed their disappointment at the club’s ticket price rises.**
Season ticket holders at Hill Dickinson Stadium will see their renewals increasing by an average of £45 after Friday’s announcement of the 2026/27 campaign prices.
That equates to £2.26 per game while the Blues have committed to a capped maximum rise of £85 while also freezing costs for fans in the under-11s category.
However concessions will not be protected in the new pricing structure despite Everton’s Fan Advisory Board publicly opposiing the prospect in recent months.
The group said: “We have already made our deep disappointment clear in discussions directly with senior leadership.
“Despite consistent advice, insights and feedback, many of the concerns we raised on behalf of supporters have not been reflected in the final decision.
“Club leadership and the owners, The Friedkin Group, have chosen to move forward with these rises regardless of the financial impact on match‑going supporters.
“While a small number of supporters will see no increase, many loyal match‑going fans now face rises of up to almost 10%, close to three times the current rate of inflation.
“For regular match‑going supporters, these increases add to an already challenging financial environment and will have a real impact on overall affordability.
“The decision suggests a preference for short term financial gain at the expense of loyalty.
“It fails to recognise the growing sentiment amongst supporters that our game is moving further and further away from its core values, identity and soul. It is a missed opportunity.
“Our role is to represent the broad spectrum of Evertonians, and it is important that we fully understand how supporters feel about these changes.
“Over the coming days, we will be issuing a short survey to gather the views of Evertonians.
“This will ensure our full response reflects what fans are actually experiencing and will be prioritising.
“We remain committed to constructive dialogue with the club and will continue to advocate for decisions that protect accessibility, loyalty and the strength of our traditional fanbase.
“Once we have analysed the survey results, we will provide a more detailed and informed response.”
