Everton season tickets sold out ahead of new season
Friday 2 June 2017 16:55, UK
Everton have announced that they have already sold every available season ticket ahead of the 2017/18 campaign.
The final ticket was purchased earlier this week, more than three months before the new season is scheduled to start.
In all, there were more than 32,000 season tickets available for purchase at Goodison Park.
Under manager Ronald Koeman, the club ended 2016/17 seventh in the Premier League table after collecting 43 points at Goodison Park.
During January, the club said they would either freeze or reduce prices, with a view to making tickets "more accessible and affordable than ever before".
A club statement reads: "Working in collaboration with the Everton Fans' Forum and Fans' Panel, the club was able to offer an extended range of season ticket options aimed at making season tickets at Goodison more accessible and affordable than ever before.
"These improvements included a new price tier introduced for young adult season ticket holders between the ages of 22 and 24.
"The introduction of extended direct debit payment options also provided existing season ticket holders with the chance to spread their payments evenly across 11 and 12 months."
According to the club: "The high demand to be at Goodison Park is also evident in Everton's hospitality lounges and executive boxes, which have sold out for the second season running - also in record time."
There are just under 2,000 hospitality members at the Merseyside club.
