Keith Wyness in promise on Everton ticket pricesMar 20 2008
by Dominic King, Liverpool Echo
KEITH WYNESS today pledged to keep admission fees for Goodison Park as cheap as possible as he announced Everton’s 2008/09 season ticket prices.
As has been the case in the last two years, the Blues will give supporters who take advantage of a four week ‘early bird’ window a 10% discount on their season ticket, based on the full prices for the current campaign.
Fans have up until April 19 to take advantage of the reduction before the new prices - which have risen by £38 for adults - equating to £2 per game - kick in.
But Goodison chief executive Wyness insists that the cost of entry into Goodison continues to represent ‘excellent’ value.
“Once again during the planning process for this year’s campaign, we have been extremely mindful of ensuring Premier League football at Everton is as affordable as it can be,” said Wyness.
“The early bird offers of the previous two years have been very successful and our remit from the outset was to reward those supporters who are ready to renew their tickets in the first four weeks of the campaign.
“Ten per cent is a significant discount and we are optimistic that many supporters will take up this and some of the other additional offers and promotions we will be running throughout the campaign.”
If supporters choose to renew online, they will receive a further £10 off and the Blues have kept the price of a junior family enclosure ticket at £190 while a waiting list will be introduced to give non season ticket holders the best possible seat post renewal date.
The deadline for renewing tickets comes on May 11 - the day Everton wrap up the campaign at home against Newcastle United - and the deadline to join the waiting list for a season ticket is May 28.
Meanwhile, Everton are not going to take up the opportunity to sign Thomas Gravesen permanently in the summer when the Celtic midfielder’s loan deal expires.
Blues boss David Moyes has told the 32-year-old former Denmark international that he will not be offering him a new contract even though Celtic have made it clear he has no future at Parkhead. Turkish side Galatasary may offer him an alternative destination.
