Everton offer fan refunds for remaining five Premier League home matches at Goodison Park

George Flood17 May 2020

Everton have announced plans to refund supporters who hold tickets for the club's five remaining Premier League home matches in 2019-20.

Carlo Ancelotti's 12th-placed Toffees were due to host Merseyside rivals Liverpool in March before all elite football in England was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Southampton and Leicester have also yet to visit Goodison Park this season.

Ahead of a crucial vote involving all 20 clubs on a potential return to group training on Monday, Everton announced they would be refunding fans who have tickets for those five home fixtures left on the schedule "due to the increasing expectation that - should the remaining games be played - they will take place behind closed doors".

The club confirmed that season ticket members will be given the option of a credit or refund on a pro-rata basis, or alternatively they can choose to donate either a portion or all of their available refund to club charity Everton in the Community.

"The option for a portion - or all - of the available refund to be made available to Everton in the Community was introduced as a result of requests from fan groups and individual supporters who have been keen to show their appreciation for the Club’s charity," Everton said in a statement.

"The charity’s work has come into increased focus during the coronavirus pandemic as a result of the Blue Family coordinated outreach campaign.

"The Blue Family initiative has benefited thousands of vulnerable and isolated people and is continuing to provide key assistance and support to those in our community in greatest need."
