Buy Everton vs Bournemouth tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match scheduled for Saturday 17 April 2027 and a 15:00 kick-off. The game takes place at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Liverpool's Bramley-Moore Dock, Everton's new home since 2025. Premier League kick-off times can still move once the broadcast picks for April are confirmed, so keep travel plans flexible until the slot is locked in.

This fixture has a habit of producing late drama. Everton won it on the final day of 2022/23 to stay in the Premier League, while Bournemouth came from two goals down to win at Goodison Park in stoppage time in 2024. The visitors also took the first meeting at the new stadium in February 2026.
For a buyer, the headline is demand. Everton's move to the waterfront has turned almost every home date into a sell-out, with matchday tickets now allocated by members' ballot. Prices, seat choice, the away end, hospitality, delivery, travel and the full Premier League record between the clubs are all set out below.
The Hill Dickinson Stadium holds around 52,700 for Premier League matches, far more than Goodison Park ever could, yet demand has kept pace. Everton moved to a ballot system for home matchday tickets in their first season at the new ground, because requests far outstripped supply. The novelty of the stadium is expected to keep that pressure high for several seasons.
Supporters of AFC Bournemouth face one of the longest away trips of their season, more than 250 miles north from the south coast. Their allocation sits in the north-east corner of the North Stand. Bournemouth's first European campaign this season has given their travelling support momentum, so expect a full, loud away end. The first meeting at the new ground, in February 2026, drew more than 50,000.
The squeeze is not spread evenly. The South Stand, a steep home end with large safe-standing sections, central seats along both sides and groups of four or more seated together are the areas that tighten first. Upper-tier corner seats are usually the last to go.
Timing adds weight. A 15:00 Saturday kick-off in mid-April falls deep in the run-in, when points carry real consequences for both clubs. Saturday afternoon games are not shown live on UK television, which pushes even more local fans towards the ground.
The setting adds the rest. The stadium sits on the banks of the River Mersey, with brick and steel stands inspired by the city's docks. For visiting neutrals, a first look at the new ground is reason enough to make the trip.
Rarely through the club. Everton sell standard home matchday tickets through a members' ballot. Forever Blue+ members get top priority, with the ballot opening at 10:00 on a Monday four weeks before each home game and closing the following afternoon.
If you miss the ballot, the club's ticket exchange lets season ticket holders resell unwanted seats at face value, but only to members. General sale is reserved for a small number of fixtures, usually early cup rounds, so a Premier League match in April is unlikely to reach it. The free digital membership tier does not include any ticket access. Members applying as a group must also link their accounts in advance, which makes buying for a mixed group of members and non-members awkward.
The marketplace is the practical alternative. There is no membership fee to pay, no ballot to enter and no need to wait for an exchange release. You choose the area, the number of seats and the delivery type, then buy from verified sellers with buyer protection behind the order.
Resale also solves the problem the ballot cannot: specific seats for specific groups. If you need four seats together on the halfway line or a pair in the away end for a Bournemouth-supporting family, listings let you filter by area and quantity rather than relying on luck.
Bournemouth supporters who miss out on their own club's allocation should look for listings in the away section rather than buying into a home stand. Away allocations are usually sold by the visiting club to its most loyal supporters first, so resale is often the only other route.
Five factors drive what you pay for this fixture in the 2026/27 season: seat location, demand from both sets of supporters, how close to kick-off you buy, the stakes of the spring run-in and the hospitality tier you choose. Everton's standard adult match tickets run from around £35 to £75 or more according to the stand and the match category, while away fans have paid around £30. Liverpool, Arsenal and the Manchester clubs typically sit at the top of the home price scale, with Bournemouth typically a category below.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / corners | £90 – £140 | Budget-minded fans and first-time visitors | The most plentiful listings; views from height across the bowl |
| Longside standard | £110 – £170 | Couples and small groups wanting a side-on view | Clear sightlines across the pitch |
| Lower tier / central | £140 – £220+ | Fans who want to be close to the action | Front rows sit close to the pitch in a purpose-built football ground |
| Premium seating (central sideline) | £180 – £300+ | Tactical viewing and special occasions | Central seats near the tunnel and club areas |
| Hospitality / VIP | £400 – £650+ | Corporate guests and celebrations | Lounge access, dining and padded seats |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Listings for a fixture like this usually open with a wide spread, then settle once the kick-off slot is confirmed. Central seats and hospitality hold their value because supply there is thin from the start. Upper-tier corners are where sellers are most willing to adjust, especially in the final fortnight.
Because the ballot and exchange keep most tickets inside the membership, resale supply tends to come from season ticket holders who cannot attend. That makes availability lumpy: a block of good seats can appear late and disappear quickly. Buyers who see a listing that suits their group should not count on a better one turning up.
Club sales also carry concession rates for over-65s, young adults aged 18 to 21, juniors and under-11s. Resale listings rarely carry those reductions, so families buying for children should weigh the saving against the choice of seats a marketplace offers.
The stadium opened in 2025 on a reclaimed dock beside the Mersey, built with steep stands and a roof that keeps the noise in. It replaced Goodison Park, Everton's home since 1892. Before you commit, study the Hill Dickinson Stadium seating plan to see how each block lines up with the halfway line.
The South Stand is the home end: one steep tier with large safe-standing areas. The away section sits in the north-east corner of the North Stand, while the two sideline stands hold the central seats and the club's premium areas. To compare this match with the rest of the home calendar, the full list of Hill Dickinson Stadium tickets shows every fixture at the ground.
Row choice matters as much as stand choice. Lower rows put you at eye level with the players but flatten the view of the far touchline, while mid-tier rows on either side give the clearest read of shape and movement. In a modern bowl like this one, the front of the upper tier often beats the back of the lower tier.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central sideline, lower tier | First-time visitors and fans who want the full tactical picture | Upper-mid to premium | Near the tunnel and club areas; the first section to tighten |
| Sideline, upper tier | Families and fans who want a full view of the bowl | Mid | High, clear views across the pitch and the river beyond |
| South Stand | Fans who want the noise and safe standing | Mid | The home end; wear blue or neutral colours only |
| Upper-tier corners | Value seekers and late buyers | Lower to mid | Angled views, but the steep design keeps the pitch close |
| Away section (North Stand, north-east corner) | Bournemouth supporters | Lower | Around 3,000 places for Premier League visitors, largely licensed standing; entry via the away turnstile near gate E |
| Accessible seating | Wheelchair users and companions | Varies | Bays are spread around the ground; confirm arrangements with the club before matchday |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should stay away from the South Stand and the blocks next to the away section. The upper tiers along the sides give a balanced view of the whole pitch. Families with young children will find the sideline upper tiers the calmer choice.
Hospitality was built into the new stadium from the start, with lounges, premium seats and a partnership with Seat Unique for top-end packages. Matchday hospitality has started from around £399 to £495 per person. It guarantees entry without a ballot or membership. The Club View tier, which pairs premium seats with bar access, is also sold as a season ticket, priced from around £1,200 for an adult.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Club View seat | Fans who want premium seats with bar access | Central views plus access to dedicated bars |
| Matchday hospitality lounge | Couples and small groups marking an occasion | Dining, drinks and padded seats without a ballot |
| Seat Unique experience | Corporate guests and special celebrations | Top-tier package with tour and private enclosure where available |
| Private box | Businesses hosting clients | A private space overlooking the pitch with dedicated catering |
Read exactly what a listing includes before you buy: lounge opening times, whether drinks are included and whether a programme or parking comes with the package. Inclusions vary by area, so two packages with similar names can offer very different afternoons.
Hospitality is often the simplest route for visitors. It removes the ballot from the equation and solves the seats-together problem in one booking. For a first visit to a new stadium, it also guarantees a good view.
Your listing's format decides how your tickets arrive. Everton issue home tickets digitally through their ticketing system. Away clubs have sent mobile tickets no later than three days before the game. The format line on each listing also tells you when the seller expects to send them.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| E-ticket (PDF) | Print each ticket clearly or keep the file ready on your phone; one ticket per person |
| Mobile ticket | Download the ticket or app before travelling and confirm the QR code displays offline |
| Paper ticket | Confirm the delivery address and allow extra time for courier delivery to addresses outside the UK |
| Collection | Note the collection point, opening times and the ID you need to bring |
Read the listing notes before you buy, bring valid photo ID and charge your phone fully if you are using mobile entry. Where every ticket arrives on one phone, agree with your group how you will enter together. Bags larger than A4 are not allowed and rucksacks are refused, so travel light.
The stadium sits on the north docks, about a 30-minute walk from the city centre. Sandhills, Bank Hall and Moorfields stations are all within walking distance, with Merseyrail running extra services on matchdays. Shuttle buses have run from the city centre and other hubs for major fixtures, while regular buses from Queen Square stop a short walk away.
Turnstiles open two hours before kick-off, with the plaza around the stadium open an hour earlier. Arriving early avoids the queues. Parking near the stadium is restricted on matchdays, so public transport is the sensible choice. Special ferry sailings have also linked Pier Head with Seacombe on big matchdays, giving fans from the Wirral an easy route across the river.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport has direct European flights, while Manchester Airport offers more long-haul routes and a direct train link to Liverpool Lime Street. E-tickets and mobile tickets suit visitors from abroad: nothing to collect, no courier to wait for. For buyers in the Gulf, a 15:00 kick-off falls at 18:00 UAE time, which makes a weekend trip from Dubai or Abu Dhabi straightforward.
Within the UK, direct trains from London reach Liverpool Lime Street in around two and a quarter hours, so a day trip for a 15:00 kick-off is realistic. Bournemouth fans travelling by road face a drive of around five hours each way. Many will stay overnight in the city rather than tackle the return journey after the final whistle.
Request seats together at the point of purchase rather than hoping to swap at the stadium. Remember that the date and kick-off time can move once the broadcast schedule is confirmed, so book flexible hotels in Liverpool where you can. The city centre around Lime Street and the waterfront puts you within walking distance of the stadium. Bournemouth fans planning more than one trip this season can also follow their club at home through Vitality Stadium tickets.
Bournemouth arrived in the Premier League in 2015. Their first meeting with Everton ended in a 3-3 draw on the south coast. Everton dominated the early years at Goodison Park, winning their first four home meetings, including a 6-3 win in February 2017 that remains the highest-scoring game in the fixture. Bournemouth's 3-1 win at Goodison on the final day of 2019/20, played behind closed doors, was not enough to keep them up.
The modern era has been closer and far more dramatic. Everton's 1-0 home win on the final day of 2022/23 kept them in the division, but Bournemouth hit back in August 2024 with three goals in the last few minutes to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 win at Goodison. In February 2026 they also won the first meeting at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, 2-1. That made it three Bournemouth wins in the last five meetings at Everton's home grounds.
This season has already added another chapter. The first 2026/27 meeting ended 1-1 at the Vitality Stadium on 29 August, leaving the return at the Hill Dickinson Stadium to settle the season series. If Bournemouth are still in the Europa League by mid-April, the trip north could fall between two European ties. Everton, still chasing a first win over Bournemouth at their new home, will want to make that count.
What makes this fixture distinctive is how evenly it has been fought. Across 19 Premier League meetings, Bournemouth lead with nine wins to Everton's seven, while the goals are split 31 to 30. Everton's old ground, which now hosts Everton Women, still holds plenty of memories of this fixture; supporters can follow matches there through Goodison Park tickets.
All Premier League meetings between the sides at all venues since November 2015, as only one has been played at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. FA Cup and League Cup ties are excluded.

Figures calculated from the match-by-match results below, cross-referenced across Transfermarkt and 11v11. Everton's 3-0 win in October 2023 matches the 6-3 on goal difference. Home advantage has counted on both sides: Everton have won six of nine at home, Bournemouth six of ten on the south coast.
Two patterns stand out for anyone weighing up the April meeting. All three draws in the fixture have come on the south coast, so no Premier League game at Everton's home grounds has yet finished level. Everton have scored 20 and conceded 13 in their nine home meetings with Bournemouth. Their only win at the Vitality Stadium in ten visits came in December 2025, when a single goal settled it.

Every score verified against at least two independent sources: Transfermarkt and 11v11, with key matches also confirmed by Sky Sports, NBC Sports, TNT Sports and Football Web Pages.
Not for resale. The club's ballot requires membership, while marketplace listings are open to any buyer, including visitors from abroad.
Buying soon after the kick-off slot is confirmed gives the widest choice of seats together. Central seats tend to firm up in price during the final fortnight.
Visiting supporters fill the north-east corner of the North Stand. Anyone wearing Bournemouth colours should buy there rather than in a home area.
Sandhills on the Merseyrail network is the closest station, with Bank Hall and Moorfields also within walking distance.
Yes, as long as you set your quantity before browsing so only listings with enough adjoining seats appear. Larger groups usually find more choice in the upper-tier corners.
