Best Seats at Hill Dickinson Stadium

Everton spent 133 years at Goodison Park, and when they finally moved, they moved onto the river. Hill Dickinson Stadium is built on Bramley-Moore Dock, a filled-in Victorian dock on the Mersey two miles north of Liverpool city centre — a £750m brick-and-steel ground with four separate stands, 52,769 seats and not a single pillar. Its home end, the South Stand, rises so steeply that the noise has nowhere to go but down onto the pitch, and the upper concourses look back along the waterfront to the city skyline.

The honest catch is getting here: there’s no car park, one approach from the east, and a walk at both ends of the day. Where you sit decides what kind of afternoon you get, so start with the stands.

Seating Guide

Four stands, each with its own job. The South Stand is the home end — rail seating in the lower tier, a seated upper tier, and the loudest place in the ground. The West Stand backs onto the river and holds the tunnel, the dugouts, the TV cameras and most of the hospitality; the East Stand faces Regent Road and the Plaza; and the North Stand is the quieter end, with away fans in its north-east corner and the Family Stand in the north-west.

The upper tiers are steep enough that the view is clean almost everywhere, so the real choice is between a side-on view in the East or West and the atmosphere of the South.

Best Non-Premium Seats

East Stand upper, the middle of the 216 to 227 run. Square to the halfway line and high enough that the rake shows you the whole shape of the match — the runs off the ball, the gaps opening up. The trade-off is distance from the noise: the singing comes from your left rather than from around you.

South Stand upper, blocks 205 to 214. You’re directly above the rail seating, in the stand that sets the tone for the whole ground, with an end-on view high enough to follow play at the far goal. Expect to be on your feet for the big moments, and for long stretches if Everton are chasing a goal late on.

East Stand lower, blocks 013 to 015. The closest you’ll get to the halfway line without paying for hospitality, and the classic touchline angle. Down at this level the far side of the pitch flattens out, so you’ll read less of the game than from the tier above.

Best Value Seats

West Stand upper, blocks 200 to 204 and 247 to 249. The general admission blocks at either end of the West Stand, either side of the hospitality core, give you a side-stand view on the river side of the ground without the halfway-line price. You’re nearer the corner flag than the centre circle, which is fine for following play and less good for judging an offside at the far end.

North Stand upper, blocks 229 to 246. An elevated view from behind the goal, and the North Stand is where the lowest prices usually turn up on resale. The blocks at the east end sit closest to the away section, so you’ll hear both sets of fans trading songs; the western blocks are calmer.

Budget / Cheapest Way In

North Stand lower, blocks 018 to 021. Behind the goal at pitch level and the cheapest way into a Premier League match here. From the front rows the far end is hard to read past the boards and the bodies in front of you, so take a seat in the back half of the block if you have the choice.

Our Pick

The central blocks of the South Stand upper tier, in the middle of the 205 to 214 run and around ten rows up. You see the whole pitch, the loudest part of the ground is right below you, and the Level 2 concourse behind you looks out over the river and the city at half-time.

What to Avoid (and What’s Worth Trying Once)

The back rows of the upper tiers. The upper South Stand averages a gradient of more than 33 degrees, which is what makes the sightlines so good and the top rows such a climb. If heights bother you, or you’re bringing an older relative, stay in the lower half of the tier.

Worth it once: the rail seating in the South Stand lower, blocks 003 to 010. This is safe standing — a fixed, allocated spot behind a rail, on your feet for ninety minutes, with stewards checking tickets at the aisles. You’ll see less of the far end and you can’t sit down, and that isn’t the point: this is where the singing starts. Not one for young children.

Premium Seating & Hospitality at Hill Dickinson Stadium

Most of the hospitality is stacked in the West Stand, with a second cluster in the East Stand beside the Plaza. It’s all sold match by match through Seat Unique, Everton’s official premium ticketing partner, which also makes it the one guaranteed way into a sold-out match without an Everton membership. Every package sits in a home area, so leave the away colours at the hotel; the dress code is smart casual, and smart jeans and trainers are fine.

The Best Premium Experience

Village Street, West Stand. An indoor street of four pubs and bars — The Queen’s Head, Kendall’s Social, The Prince Rupert and Dixie’s Sports Bar — named after the road in Everton where St Domingo’s FC became Everton Football Club in 1879. The names are the history lesson: the club was renamed at the Queen’s Head Hotel, Howard Kendall and Dixie Dean are two of its greatest names, and Prince Rupert’s Tower is the tower on the badge. It opens three hours before kick-off and stays open up to an hour after full time, with a drinks package, a street-food token, live entertainment and seats near the halfway line.

Best Value Premium

Trinity Place Bar, East Stand. This is the one to book. Selected beer, wine and soft drinks are included before the match and at half-time, there’s a food token, and your seat is padded and in the lower East Stand close to the halfway line. The bar is named after Everton’s Holy Trinity — Alan Ball, Howard Kendall and Colin Harvey — sits right beside the Plaza, and keeps the same hours as Village Street.

Other Premium Options

Club View is a premium seat rather than full hospitality: halfway-line seats in the upper East Stand, blocks 321 to 324, with a private concourse, a food and drink credit, a programme and appearances from former players. Ticket Plus is the entry-level upgrade — a seat in block 229 with a food and drink voucher and discounts in the club shop and on the stadium tour.

Enclosure, on Level 1 of the West Stand, is a private four-seat box of reclining cinema-style seats with personal TV screens, overlooking the halfway line. Beyond Tunnel Club puts you in padded pitch-side seats near the home dugout, with behind-the-scenes access and a restaurant menu beforehand.

Trinity Place Restaurant is the sit-down version of the bar, with a private table for the whole day, and Domingo’s Bar + Grill in the West Stand is the steakhouse, with an open grill kitchen and a name taken from St Domingo’s, the club’s original identity.

Suites & Group Options

The executive boxes are in the West Stand and are sold mainly by the season through Everton’s hospitality team. For a one-off group of four, the Enclosure gives you most of the private-box experience on a single match; bigger groups usually do better booking seats together in Village Street or Trinity Place.

Hill Dickinson Stadium Seating Plan

Hill Dickinson Stadium holds 52,769, which makes it the eighth-largest football ground in England — slightly fewer than the 52,888 announced while it was being built. The record crowd is 52,590, for the visit of Sunderland in May 2026.

The block numbers run continuously around the ground rather than restarting in each stand. Lower-tier general admission uses 001 to 021, the corners and specialist areas (including the away section and the Family Stand) use the 100s, the upper tier runs 200 to 249, and the 300s are premium seats on Level 3.

You can find the official Hill Dickinson Stadium seating plan here.

Everton Football Tickets

Everton sell out almost every home league match, and nearly every ticket goes through membership. Forever Blue+ members get first go through a ballot that opens around four weeks before each Premier League home match; if that sells out, the club’s official resale platform opens to Forever Blue+ and Forever Blue members, and if it doesn’t, Forever Blue members get a second window later that week. Each membership buys one ticket, so everyone in your group needs their own.

Early-round cup ties against lower-league sides are where tickets are likeliest to reach general sale. The Merseyside derby and the visits of the big clubs go to members long before anyone else, so if one of those is your trip, budget for hospitality or resale prices.

Hill Dickinson Stadium Bag Policy

One bag per person, no bigger than A4 — 297mm high, 210mm wide and 210mm deep — and it has to fit under your seat. Rucksacks, briefcases, suitcases and suit bags are turned away, and stewards judge a bag by its full size rather than how much is in it, so a big bag folded down still fails. The same limit applies in the fan zone on the Plaza.

There’s no left luggage at the stadium or anywhere near it, so drop bags in the city centre before you head north. Outside food and drink aren’t allowed, and flags and banners need a valid fire safety certificate, which stewards check at the turnstiles. Medical exemptions are arranged in advance through Everton’s accessibility team at accessibility@evertonfc.com.

Key Venue Policies

Your phone is your ticket. Tickets are digital only: tap your phone on the turnstile reader, and a green light means an adult ticket, amber a concession. Each ticket scans once, and there’s no re-entry.

The stadium is fully cashless. Card, phone or watch at every kiosk, bar and shop, so check your card works abroad before you travel.

You can’t drink in your seat. At English football, alcohol can’t be taken into view of the pitch, so pints stay on the concourse.

Hill Dickinson is one of the most accessible grounds in England, with 279 wheelchair positions, each with a companion seat, 19 lifts and three Changing Places toilets; tickets and support are arranged through Everton’s accessibility team.

Getting to Hill Dickinson Stadium

The stadium is at Bramley-Moore Dock, Regent Road, Liverpool L3 0BW, about two miles north of the city centre. Don’t drive: take Merseyrail to Sandhills, ride a matchday shuttle or walk up the waterfront — the road closures around Regent Road, Waterloo Road and the Ten Streets turn the last stretch into a pedestrian route anyway.

Parking

There’s no public parking at the stadium — the spaces on site are for accessible parking only — and a Football Match Parking Zone covers the surrounding streets, with fines for anyone parked there without a permit. The workable plan is park and ride: a city-centre car park with the 919 or 929 shuttle, Bootle Strand with the 939, or Kirkby with the 918.

The cheapest workaround is Merseyrail’s own car parks. More than 40 stations on the network have free parking, so drive to an outer station on the Southport, Ormskirk or Hunts Cross line and take the train to Sandhills.

Trains to Sandhills

Sandhills is the nearest station, about a 15-minute walk from the ground and a few minutes up Merseyrail’s Northern Line from the city centre. On matchdays trains run every 15 minutes on the Southport, Ormskirk, Hunts Cross and Headbolt Lane lines, and tapping in with a contactless card saves queueing at the machines. The walk from the station runs past yards and warehouses, and the stadium only appears once you pass through a gate in the old granite dock wall.

Going home, Sandhills runs a managed queue — around 9,000 people passed through in the 55 minutes after one recent match — and you’ll be held in a fan zone before being let onto the platform. To avoid it, walk 25 minutes south to Moorfields, whose Old Hall Street entrance stays open after the match, or north to Bank Hall if you’re heading towards Southport.

Supporters with access needs can pre-book Everton’s free accessible shuttle between Sandhills and Boundary Street, 175 metres from the stadium, which starts three hours before kick-off.

Matchday Shuttle Buses

Four shuttles run for every first-team match. From the city centre, the 919 leaves from Commutation Row by Lime Street and the 929 from Liverpool ONE bus station; the 939 runs from Bootle and the 918 from Kirkby, passing Goodison Park on the way. They drop on Great Howard Street and Derby Road, a short walk from the ground.

Services start around three hours before kick-off (the 929 earlier), the last bus to the stadium leaves 30 minutes before kick-off, and the return buses are back at their stops by the final whistle.

Mersey Ferry from the Wirral

Mersey Ferries run direct matchday sailings from Seacombe to the Pier Head, timed around kick-off, with a cheap matchday return sold at the terminal when you show your match ticket — card payment only. From the Pier Head it’s a 30-minute walk north to the ground. Sailing times change with each fixture, so check Mersey Ferries before you set off.

Walking from the City Centre

From the Pier Head it’s about 30 minutes north along the waterfront, past Stanley Dock and its tobacco warehouse; from Moorfields it’s about 25. Road closures keep the final stretch clear of traffic. On a February night with rain blowing in off the Mersey, take the train.

Taxis & Rideshare

Taxis and Ubers can’t reach the stadium on matchdays. Use the ranks at Sandhills station, Boundary Street near Vauxhall Road, or Dublin Street, and expect a short walk at either end. Lime Street to the ground takes 10 to 15 minutes in normal traffic, but straight after full time every car in north Liverpool is heading the same way and surge pricing follows, so walk back towards town before you book.

Cycling

There’s cycle parking at the stadium, and the waterfront route from the city centre is flat all the way. Liverpool’s hire e-scooters are an option for the ride in.

Everton Matchday Top Tips

Everton Matchday Top Tips

Hill Dickinson days feel different from Goodison – more waterfront, more space, and a lot more going on before and after the whistle. These tips are the little things locals talk about that can quietly make or break your matchday.

Arriving at Hill Dickinson Stadium

Come through the Plaza an hour before you’d normally bother. It opens three hours pre-match and it’s the whole pre-game scene — food stalls, music, the club store, and 17,000 people’s worth of space to stand in. Everyone passes through it, so it’s also the only sensible place to arrange to meet someone.

Use the South Stand turnstiles if you’re anywhere near Everton Way. Two banks of turnstiles sit in the centre of that stand, next to the engraved memorial stones, and they’re the fastest way in for upper-tier South ticket holders. The busiest entry window across the ground is 30 to 40 minutes before kick-off.

Charge your phone before you leave. Ticket, payment and travel are all on it, and there’s no cash backup and no paper fallback at the gate.

Food & Drink at Hill Dickinson Stadium

Head for the Through Pass outlets in the South Stand corners. They use walk-out technology — tap your card at the entry gate, take what you want, walk out, get charged automatically. You’ll see a £5 pre-authorisation appear and then a refund of the difference. No queue at all, which at half-time is the whole ballgame.

Use an EBar if you only want a pint. These are self-serve drink kiosks that pour in seconds — two on Level 0, one on Level 1, two on Level 2 and two on Level 3. The food queues and the drink queues are separate problems, and most people join the wrong one.

Try the blue toffee doughnut once, then eat properly. Dockyard Kitchen does the pies and sausage rolls, Flightbirds in the North and South Stands does chicken, Pit and Pickle handles burgers including plant-based, and there’s a pizza counter in the family area. The doughnut is a photograph, not a meal.

Don’t count on alcohol being served all match. Sales can be suspended at any point on Merseyside Police advice, particularly for higher-risk fixtures.

Exit Strategy

Leave late on purpose. Over 50,000 people funnel out towards one approach road, and the area takes 20 to 30 minutes to clear. Merseyrail keep running services for around 90 minutes after full time, so a drink inside or nearby costs you nothing in journey time.

Walking south beats queueing north. If you’re going back to the city centre and the weather’s tolerable, start walking. You’ll often be at Moorfields before the Sandhills corral has finished processing.

Best Photo Spots at Hill Dickinson Stadium

The Western Terrace at sunset. The upper West Stand concourse looks straight out over the Mersey and the city skyline — for an evening kick-off in spring or autumn, get there early and shoot from the terrace before you take your seat.

The dock wall and the hydraulic tower. The listed Victorian dock structures were kept and built around, so the exterior shot that actually looks like Liverpool is from the south side, with the old brickwork in the frame and the stadium behind it.

Everton Way. The engraved stones outside the South Stand carry fans’ and legends’ names. If someone in your family bought one, allow time — finding a specific stone takes longer than you think.

Bringing Kids to an Everton Match

Book the Family Stand, blocks 125 to 128. Around 2,700 seats in the north-west corner with their own dedicated concourse — entertainment, activities and food aimed at kids, and behaviour rules that make it a calmer 90 minutes. It’s connected to the West Stand on a single level, and it’s deliberately positioned as far from the away section as the geometry allows.

Anyone under 14 needs an adult over 18 with them. No exceptions, and it’s enforced at the turnstile.

The facilities are genuinely built for this. Baby changing in 95 locations, low-level counters at every kiosk, and a sensory room plus two quiet rooms if a young fan needs to step out of the noise.

Where Away Fans Sit

Turnstile 24, north-east corner, blocks 118 to 120. The away allocation sits pitch-side in the corner of the North and East Stands with its own concourse on Level 1, and the away ticket office next to turnstile 24 opens three hours before kick-off for duplicate collections — bring ID. Enter the stadium footprint through Gate E, which is closest to the coach drop.

Pubs along Regent Road serve away fans at the landlord’s discretion. Everton’s own advice, and it’s honest. The city centre is the safer plan for a colours-on pre-match pint.

Stadium Tours & Visiting on a Non-Matchday

The tour entrance is Gate 18, next to the club shop. Tours run through the dressing room, the tunnel, the media room and pitch-side, they take around 90 minutes, and you book online in advance — weekend slots go first. Some guides offer stairs instead of lifts if you ask.

Goodison Park tours are running again too. The Grand Old Lady is now home to Everton Women and the academy rather than sitting empty, and the heritage tour there is a completely different experience from the new build. If you’re making a trip of it, do both — they’re two miles apart.

Hill Dickinson Stadium Quirks Worth Knowing

You can walk three-quarters of the way around inside. Both Level 00 and Level 02 connect most of the stadium, so meeting a mate in another stand at half-time is actually possible — a rarity in a modern bowl.

The ticket office is in the south-east corner, tucked into the end of the South Stand by Everton Way, not on the Plaza where you’d expect it.

Records to date. Iliman Ndiaye scored the last competitive goal at Goodison Park and the first here, in a 2-0 win over Brighton on 24 August 2025. The attendance record is 52,585, set against Liverpool in April 2026 — the first Merseyside derby on the waterfront.

Distance From Anfield to Hill Dickinson Stadium

It’s just under 5km, but don’t underestimate the matchday traffic. A black cab between the two grounds takes about 10 to 15 minutes on a quiet afternoon, but on a matchday, the roads connecting north Liverpool to the waterfront are absolutely chock-a-block. If you’re trying to tick off both stadiums in one day, factor in a proper delay if a match is on.

Walking takes about 45 to 50 minutes. It’s a fairly straightforward march heading west from Anfield down towards the docks. Plenty of groundhoppers do it on non-matchdays as a pilgrimage to see both sides of the city’s divide—just make sure you wrap up for the wind coming off the Mersey once you clear the terraced houses and hit the waterfront, because it can be pure Baltic.

Beyond the Match: Make a Weekend of It

Build a Mini‑Liverpool City Day Around Your Ticket
If you’re in town for more than just the 90 minutes, pair your match with a couple of Liverpool essentials. Do the Beatles loop Beatles Story at Albert Dock plus the Cavern Club on Mathew Street), take a Mersey Ferry sailing for skyline views, or wander Bold Street for independent shops and cafés between museum stops. Using Hill Dickinson as the anchor for a full city day makes the whole trip feel like an event rather than just another away‑day style dash in and out.

Restaurants and Pubs Near Hill Dickinson Stadium

The move from Goodison Park to Hill Dickinson Stadium represents a seismic shift in the Everton matchday experience, particularly when it comes to pre-match socializing. For 133 years, supporters built their routines around the Walton area surrounding Goodison, with established local pubs and chippy runs becoming part of Everton folklore. Now, with the new 52,769-capacity stadium positioned at Bramley-Moore Dock on Liverpool’s historic waterfront, supporters are discovering an entirely different pre-match landscape.

The waterfront location means Everton fans are no longer confined to traditional working-class pub culture around the old ground. Instead, they have access to Liverpool’s broader dining and drinking scene, from the regenerated Albert Dock area to the bustling city centre. The stadium’s position also means better transport links, with shuttle buses connecting the city centre directly to Hill Dickinson Stadium, making it easier to experience the best of Liverpool before heading to the match.

This transition has created opportunities for a more varied matchday experience – you can now combine a proper Liverpool restaurant meal with waterfront views before heading to watch Everton, something that simply wasn’t possible with Goodison’s more insular location. However, many supporters are also seeking to recreate that traditional pre-match pub atmosphere in new surroundings.

Best Areas for Everton Supporters

Liverpool City Centre (15-20 minutes to stadium) The heart of pre-match activity for Hill Dickinson Stadium, with excellent shuttle bus connections directly to the ground. Mathew Street and the surrounding areas offer the classic Liverpool pub experience, while Liverpool ONE provides modern dining options. The city centre buzzes on matchdays with a mix of home and away supporters, creating that essential football atmosphere.

Waterfront & Albert Dock Area (10-15 minutes to stadium) A more scenic route to your pre-match preparations, the waterfront areas offer stunning views alongside quality dining. The regenerated dock areas provide a sophisticated alternative to traditional football pubs, with excellent restaurants and bars in converted warehouses and modern developments.

Great Howard Street Corridor As you head toward the stadium from the city centre, this area has several traditional Liverpool pubs that welcome football supporters. The proximity to the stadium means you can easily walk to Hill Dickinson Stadium after a few pints.

Essential Everton-Friendly Pubs

The Cavern Club & Mathew Street Area While famous for The Beatles, Mathew Street’s numerous pubs create a brilliant pre-match atmosphere. The historic pubs here have been welcoming football supporters for decades, and the area’s compact nature means you can easily pub-hop before catching the shuttle bus to the stadium.

Traditional Dock Road Pubs The historic pubs along the old dock road route toward the stadium offer authentic Liverpool atmosphere with reasonable prices. These working-class boozers provide the proper football pub experience, with Sky Sports coverage and hearty pub grub.

The Philharmonic Dining Rooms One of Liverpool’s most beautiful Victorian pubs, “The Phil” is an essential Liverpool experience. The ornate interior and excellent ales make it worth the visit, though expect it to be busy on matchdays given its legendary status.

Traditional Waterfront Pubs Several canal-side and waterfront pubs offer scenic drinking with views over the Mersey. These provide a more relaxed alternative to city centre chaos while still maintaining that essential pre-match atmosphere.

Local Community Pubs Various traditional Liverpool pubs in the Vauxhall and surrounding areas welcome Everton supporters. These neighborhood locals offer authentic Scouse hospitality and often have the most passionate football discussions.

Must-Visit Liverpool Restaurants

Why You Should Gophoto credit wikipedia

Why You Should Go

There isn’t another Premier League ground where you walk a mile along a working river to get in, or where the upper concourse looks back at a UNESCO-listed waterfront. Everton built something loud and steep and slightly awkward to reach, and the awkwardness turns out to be part of it — the arrival is the ritual now, the way the walk down Goodison Road used to be. Go for a night game, walk from the Pier Head, and get there early enough to see the light go off the Mersey.
