Fleetwood v Everton Cup Quarter-Final Ticket News

Everton can confirm ticketing arrangements for the Club’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against Fleetwood Town at Highbury Stadium on Thursday 17 December (8pm GMT kick-off). 

The Club has received an allocation of 718 tickets, including six pairs of wheelchair spaces, for the eagerly-anticipated cup tie. 

Following Fleetwood Town’s recent sell-out fixture against Arsenal, the League Two club has reviewed its stadium safety arrangements to accommodate operational requirements and maximise ticket availability for home supporters. These adjustments have resulted in a slightly reduced away allocation compared to the previous round but still accounts for just under 15 per cent of Highbury’s capacity.   

With the allocation significantly smaller than those received for most Everton Premier League away fixtures, and demand expected to considerably exceed availability, tickets will be distributed through a ballot process. 

The Club has previously consulted its fan groups on the fairest approach to allocating tickets for fixtures where demand exceeds availability, including occasions when the number of eligible supporters with maximum away credits is greater than the number of tickets available. 

The Club has extended the away credits qualifying period to recognise supporters’ attendance over a longer period, reviewing ticketing data dating back to the 2021/22 season. However, even with an extended period of accumulated away credits, the number of eligible supporters still exceeds the available allocation. For this reason, a ballot process is therefore required. 

Ballot eligibility 

The ballot will be open to 2026/27 Season Ticket Members who have accumulated 126 away credits across the 2021/22 to 2026/27 seasons, up to and including the Club’s recent away Premier League fixture against Newcastle United. 

Supporters can check their qualifying away credit history by clicking here. 

Further information on the fixtures included within the qualifying period can be found here. 

Official Supporters’ Clubs will also be required to submit applications through the ballot process, with eligible members included in the same ballot as other qualifying supporters. Supporters’ Club members will only be eligible if they meet the required credit criteria.  

Ticket prices 

The Club’s allocation includes seating in the Parkside Stand and standing tickets in the Percy Ronson Stand. 

Category	Seating	Standing
Adult	£35	£33
Over-65	£30	£28
Under-16	£19	£18

The Supporter Number of every eligible entrant must be provided when submitting a ballot application. 

How to apply 

The ballot application window will open at 10am on Thursday 19 November, closing at 4pm on the same day. 

Eligible supporters can apply: 

• Online via the Club’s official ticketing platform. 
• By telephone on 0151 556 1878. 
• In person at Hill Dickinson Stadium's South Stand Box Office. 

Box Office opening times can be found HERE. 

Supporters may apply individually or as part of a group of up to six family and friends, provided every member of the group meets the qualifying criteria. 

Each supporter or Membership number can only be entered into the ballot once. Supporters included within a group application cannot submit a separate individual application or be included in another group. 

All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their ballot application by 4pm on Friday 20 November. 

In recognition of the exceptionally limited allocation, and to ensure supporters are not disadvantaged in future away ticket applications, all successful and unsuccessful ballot applicants will still receive an away credit for the fixture. This will be applied to their account once the match has been played. 

Accessibility / wheelchair spaces 

The Club has received six pairs of wheelchair spaces, which are included within the overall allocation of 718 tickets. 

Supporters who require wheelchair accommodation must submit their applications in writing directly to Everton’s Accessibility Team during the Ballot opening timeline (Thursday 19 November between 10am and 4pm). Tickets will be issued to supporters who meet the qualifying criteria based on previous away credit history.  

Official coach travel 

Coach travel costs £35 and will depart from Goodison Park at 4:30pm. Supporters must be Travel Club members to purchase coach tickets. The Travel Club Membership costs just £5. 

Premium hospitality packages
