Following a ticketing review, and consultation with fan groups, Everton can confirm the introduction of a new home match ticketing process for the 2025/26 season.

This will be in place for every Premier League home fixture and is designed to provide qualifying Members with an equal opportunity to apply for tickets, regardless of personal schedules or access to the internet.
Everton say this approach was successfully trialled ahead of the final home match of the 2024/25 season against Southampton.
