Getting in
Three ways to a seatmost fans forget hospitality
Official Everton FC Tickets
Everton moved into Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock for the 2025/26 season, and demand for tickets at the new 52,888-capacity ground has been intense. The club has overhauled its ticketing system with the Forever Blue membership and a ballot-based allocation for individual matches.
Quick reality check for visitors:
- • Liverpool (Merseyside Derby), Manchester United, Arsenal, and other big-six fixtures: Extremely high demand. Ballot odds are low for newer members. Hospitality or verified marketplaces are your realistic options
- • Mid-table Premier League fixtures: Better odds through the Forever Blue ballot, but still competitive at the new stadium. Demand has increased significantly with the move
- • Cup competitions and early rounds: Your best shot at official tickets as a newer member
- • The new stadium effect means every home match is in high demand for at least the first few seasons
The Forever Blue membership system:
- • Forever Blue Digital is free and gives basic access, but paid membership is needed for meaningful ticket access
- • Forever Blue membership adds you to the season ticket waiting list and gives second-priority ballot access for home matches
- • Forever Blue+ is the top tier, giving first-priority ballot access for every home fixture
- • Season ticket holders have automatic access. The waiting list for season tickets at the new stadium is long
How the ballot system works:
- • Everton uses a ballot system for individual match tickets at Hill Dickinson Stadium, replacing the old first-come, first-served approach
- • Forever Blue+ members enter the first ballot window for each fixture
- • Forever Blue members enter the second ballot window after the first window closes
- • If successful, your payment method is charged automatically. If unsuccessful, the club's own Season Ticket resale platform is the route to watch, and it is not a vague hope of returns - see below
- • Everton run a Season Ticket resale platform that the club says is available for all Premier League home games. Season ticket holders list seats they cannot use, and the club states that Forever Blue+ and Forever Blue members can access those tickets through it. Note the catch for visitors: it is a members-only route, so it is another reason to join before your trip rather than after
Important for international visitors:
- • The official website at evertonfc.com handles ticket sales through the e-ticketing platform. Create a Forever Blue account well before your trip
- • Digital ticketing is standard at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Have your mobile ticket and ID ready
- • For one-off visits, hospitality through Seat Unique or a verified marketplace is more realistic than relying on the ballot
- • SportsBreaks offers official ticket-and-hotel packages that bypass the ballot entirely
Everton Ticket Strategy
- Forever Blue+ membership gives the best ballot odds, but even this is not a guarantee for high-demand fixtures at the new ground. Sign up well in advance of your trip
- Cup matches in earlier rounds are the most accessible route to official tickets for first-time visitors
- If you are targeting a specific fixture, pair your ballot entry with the club's Season Ticket resale platform. Every sold-out fixture on Everton's availability page points members to it, and it is the most-missed official route into a full house
- For the Merseyside Derby or top-six fixtures, go straight to hospitality or verified marketplaces. The ballot is extremely competitive for these matches

- The loge seating is the standout new feature at Hill Dickinson Stadium - semi-private enclosures with reclining cinema-style seats and individual screens for replays. A genuinely different hospitality experience
- For the Merseyside Derby and big-six fixtures, hospitality is often the most reliable way to guarantee entry. Book as early as possible
- SportsBreaks bundles tickets with Liverpool hotel stays, which simplifies logistics for international visitors. Packages are available in the Upper West Stand and Upper South West Corner
Everton FC Ticket Marketplaces
Secondary market platforms with availability when official channels sell out. The new stadium has driven demand to record levels, and the ballot system means many fans miss out through official channels. Worth knowing first: under every sold-out fixture on its own availability page, Everton states that it is an offence under Section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 for any unauthorised person to resell tickets, and names only Sportsbreaks and Seat Unique as official routes. The club's own members-only resale platform is the face-value option to try before these.
Ticket resale platforms operate independently of Everton FC and Matchday Guide. Clubs reserve the right to refuse entry for unauthorized tickets, so any resale purchase is at your own risk.

- Liverpool city centre hotels put you 30 minutes from the stadium by train but give you access to the city's restaurants, bars, and nightlife. Most visitors prefer this trade-off

Pre-Match Bars for Everton Matches
The move to Hill Dickinson Stadium has created a new pre-match scene around Bramley-Moore Dock and the Ten Streets area. Several new venues have opened specifically to serve the matchday crowd, and they sit alongside established Liverpool pubs that Everton fans have adopted. The waterfront location means a different vibe from Goodison's terraced streets, with more purpose-built bars and fan zones.
The Bramley Moore
One-minute walk from Hill Dickinson Stadium
Atmosphere: Everton pub, Memorabilia, Matchday buzz
The closest pub to the new stadium, decked out in Everton memorabilia. This has quickly become one of the most popular pre-match spots at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Gets very busy on matchdays, so arriving early is recommended.
Entry notes: Open to Everton fans. Arrive early on matchdays as it fills up fast. The location right next to the ground makes it the natural first-choice pre-match stop.
The Bluehouse
One-minute walk from Hill Dickinson Stadium
Atmosphere: Large venue, Pool tables, TV screens
A large multi-purpose venue next to the stadium with a huge bar area, pool tables, and plenty of TV screens for pre-match build-up. The size means it handles matchday crowds better than smaller pubs. A reliable option when other nearby venues are packed.

Entry notes: Open to all. The Evertonian ownership gives it a friendly matchday feel. A short walk from Moorfields station for the train to Sandhills.
Pre-Match Strategy
- The Bramley Moore and The Bluehouse are the closest options to the stadium. Arrive at least 90 minutes before kickoff to get a spot
- Ten Streets Social is the best option for groups wanting a fan park atmosphere with big screens and plenty of space
- If starting in the city centre, have a drink at The Denbigh Castle or along Bold Street before taking the train to Sandhills. The journey is quick and the pubs near the ground will be busy by the time you arrive
Matchday Traditions & Atmosphere
Pre-Match Build-Up
Hill Dickinson Stadium sits on the Liverpool waterfront at Bramley-Moore Dock, a completely different setting from Goodison Park's terraced streets. The walk to the ground from the city centre takes you through the Ten Streets creative quarter, where new bars and venues have sprung up around the stadium. Pubs like The Bramley Moore and The Bluehouse fill up hours before kickoff, and Ten Streets Social has built an indoor fan park right next to the ground. The waterfront location means you approach the stadium with views across the Mersey, and the buzz around the docklands area on matchdays is building its own identity.
Inside Hill Dickinson Stadium
The South Stand is the designated home end for the most vocal Everton supporters, carrying on the tradition of the Gwladys Street End at Goodison. Z-Cars by The Tornados still plays as the teams walk out, a tradition dating back to 1962. The steep bowl design of the new stadium has been built to keep fans close to the pitch and amplify the noise. The 52,888 capacity is a significant step up from Goodison's 39,000, and the atmosphere is still finding its feet as fans settle into the new home. On big matchdays, the enclosed waterfront bowl generates serious volume.
The Merseyside Derby (vs Liverpool)
The Merseyside Derby is one of English football's great rivalries, rooted in a split that dates back to 1892 when Everton left Anfield over a rent dispute and Liverpool FC was formed in their place. Unlike many English derbies, this has traditionally been called the 'Friendly Derby' because families in Liverpool are often split between blue and red. That said, intensity on the pitch has only grown, and the fixture has produced more red cards than any other in Premier League history. Tickets for the Merseyside Derby at Hill Dickinson Stadium are among the hardest to get in English football.
Post-Match
After the final whistle, fans filter out toward Sandhills station or the shuttle buses along Regent Road. The area around the stadium is still developing, so the immediate vicinity clears out fairly quickly. Many fans head back into Liverpool city centre for food and drinks. The Bold Street and Ropewalks area is a popular destination, packed with independent restaurants and bars. The waterfront around Albert Dock and the Royal Albert Dock is another option, particularly if you want to extend the day with some sightseeing.
Visitor Tips
- Arrive early to explore the new stadium surroundings. The waterfront setting and docklands architecture are worth seeing before kickoff
- The South Stand produces the best atmosphere. If you want to be in the thick of it, aim for the lower South Stand. For the best views, the Main Stand (West) offers a more balanced perspective
- Liverpool is a compact city. The stadium is about a 30-minute walk from the city centre, or a short train ride to Sandhills. After the match, getting back to the centre is straightforward
