Best Seats at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Everton spent nearly thirty years trying to leave Goodison Park and ended up with the most dramatic setting in English football: a £750m bowl dropped onto a filled-in Victorian dock, brick and steel on the outside, 52,769 seats and not a single pillar on the inside. The South Stand rises at close to the steepest rake the Premier League allows, and on a night game the noise has nowhere to go but down onto the pitch.
The trade-off is the location — one road in, one road out, no car park, and a walk at either end of your day. Where you sit here changes what kind of afternoon you get more than it did at Goodison, so start with the layout.
Seating Guide
Four separate stands, not a continuous ring, and each one does a different job. The South Stand is the designated home end — one steep stand split into a rail-seated lower tier and a seated upper, the loudest place in the ground by design. The West Stand backs onto the Mersey and holds the cameras, the tunnel and almost all the hospitality. The East Stand faces Regent Road and The Plaza, and carries the widest concourse plus the club store. The North Stand is the quiet end, with the away section tucked into its north-east corner.
Two things matter more here than at most grounds. First, the rake: the upper tiers climb hard, which is why the sightlines are so good and why the back rows are a genuine climb. Second, the concourses — Level 00 and Level 02 each run around roughly three-quarters of the stadium, so you can meet someone sitting in another stand without leaving the building.
Best Non-Premium Seats
East Stand lower, blocks 013 to 015. Side-on, close, and the classic television angle without a hospitality price attached. You’re behind the widest concourse in the ground, which matters at half-time. The catch is that the lower tier sits below the loudest singing, so you’ll hear the South Stand rather than be part of it.
South Stand upper, blocks 205 to 214. High enough to read the shape of the game, directly above the rail-seated Blue Wall, and with a Level 2 concourse that looks back over the river to the city skyline. It’s the best combination of view and atmosphere in the ground. Expect to stand up a lot anyway.
West Stand upper, blocks 200 to 204 and 247 to 249. The camera side, with the Western Terrace concourse and its Mersey view on the way in — worth timing for sunset on an evening kick-off in spring or autumn. General admission here sits either side of the hospitality core, so you’re at the ends of the stand rather than on the halfway line.
Best Value Seats
East Stand upper, the middle of the 216 to 227 run. One tier up from the priciest sideline seats, still square to the halfway line, and consistently cheaper than the equivalent view in the West. The rake does the work — you see space open up that you’d miss from the lower bowl.
North Stand upper, blocks 229 to 246. Goal-end perspective, generally the softest prices in the ground, and better availability for the fixtures that sell out everywhere else. The blocks towards the east side pick up the noise of home and away fans trading songs; the western half is calmer.
Budget / Cheapest Way In
South Stand lower rail seating, blocks 003 to 010. The cheapest genuinely good ticket here. It’s rail seating, so you’re on your feet for ninety minutes in a fixed, allocated position — you can’t drift over to stand with mates in another block, and stewards check tickets at the aisles. Not the place for young kids or anyone who wants to sit down.
North Stand lower, blocks 018 to 021. Behind the goal at ground level, usually the last blocks to sell. Front rows lose the far-end build-up behind bodies and boards, so aim for the back half of the block if you have the choice.
Our Pick
The middle of the South Stand upper tier — the central blocks of the 205 to 214 run, ten rows or so up. You get the whole pitch, the Blue Wall roaring underneath you, and the best concourse view in the building on the way in.
What to Avoid (and What’s Worth Trying Once)
The very back rows of any upper tier. The upper South Stand averages a gradient over 33 degrees and the design maximum is around 35 — brilliant for sightlines, a serious climb on the way up and genuinely uncomfortable if heights bother you. Everything is visible from up there; that isn’t the issue.
Pitch-side blocks in the north-east corner. The bowl is enclosed and the seats are covered, but this corner faces the prevailing wind coming up the river. It’s the one spot where a poncho earns its place in your pocket.
Worth it once: the rail seating. Every Evertonian should do ninety minutes in the lower South Stand at least once, ideally under lights. You’ll see less of the far corner and stand the whole match. That isn’t the point of it.
Premium Seating & Clubs at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Premium is concentrated almost entirely in the West Stand, stacked by level: the tunnel-adjacent seats at pitch level, lounges on Level 1, boxes and the boardroom on Level 2, and the big social space on Level 3. Most of it is sold match-by-match as well as by season, so a one-off visitor can get in.
The Best Premium Experience
Village Street, West Stand Level 3. It’s an indoor street of four pubs and bars rather than a lounge, and the names are the point: Everton was founded in the Queen’s Head Hotel on Village Street in Everton village, so the club rebuilt the street inside the stadium. The Queen’s Head, Kendall’s Social, Dixie’s Sports Bar and The Prince Rupert sit along it, with street-food outlets, inclusive drinks and padded seats near the halfway line. Doors open three hours before kick-off and the bar stays open an hour after full time, which is also the smartest way to dodge the post-match crush.
Best Value Premium
Club View, East Stand blocks 321 to 324. This is the one to book. It’s a premium ticket rather than full hospitality — halfway-line seats on Level 03 with a private concourse, a programme and the occasional ex-player appearance — at a fraction of what the West Stand lounges cost, and you’re still sat among a normal crowd rather than in a glass box.
Other Premium Options
Loge boxes are the novelty: four reclining cinema-style seats with a private monitor, sold match-by-match, a first in English football. Beyond Tunnel Club puts you in padded seats behind the home dugout with a pre-match sit-down menu and walk-through access to the tunnel area. Dock on One on Level 1 is the sit-down restaurant option in the West Stand. Trinity Place in the East Stand is the heritage-themed alternative — a bar and restaurant named for Ball, Kendall and Harvey, with an island bar and pitch-side seats close to the halfway line.
Suites & Group Options
The executive boxes run along the side stands with private service and their own balcony seats, and they’re written up as living rooms rather than corporate suites — the club leaned into that idea deliberately. They’re booked through Everton’s premium team rather than general sale, and for a one-off group the Village Street or Trinity Place packages usually work out better value.
Hill Dickinson Stadium Seating Plan
Capacity is 52,769 — revised down a tad from the figure Everton published while the stadium was being built. That makes it the eighth-largest football stadium in England, and there’s headroom in the design to add around 10,000 more.
The plan is easier than it looks once you know the pattern. Lower-tier blocks run in the 001 to 021 range, jumping to 100-series numbers in the corner and away areas; upper-tier blocks run from 200 to 249; and the 300-series covers premium seating on the fourth interior level of the East and West Stands. The one thing that trips people up is that the numbering is continuous around the bowl rather than restarting per stand, so block 018 and block 021 are both North Stand even though they look like East Stand numbers.
You can find the Hill Dickinson Stadium Seating Plan here.
Everton Football Tickets
Everton are oversubscribed and have been since the move: season tickets sold out with a waiting list behind them, and the practical route in is a membership, which gives you a priority window before anything reaches general sale. General sale exists but is thin and quick.
Midweek cup ties and games against the less glamorous visitors are where face value is realistic; anything against Liverpool, Manchester United or Manchester City prices like a final the moment the fixtures drop, so buy those the week the schedule is published or accept the resale premium. The official exchange, where season ticket holders release seats they can’t use, is the underrated option — inventory appears steadily in the last ten days before a match, at face value rather than market rate.
Hill Dickinson Stadium Bag Policy
One bag per person, and it must be no bigger than A4 — 297mm tall, 210mm wide, 210mm deep — and small enough to stow under your seat. Rucksacks, briefcases, suitcases and suit bags are refused outright. The detail that catches people out: stewards measure the bag’s overall size, not how full it is, so a large holdall folded down to look smaller will still be turned away.
There is no bag storage anywhere on the stadium site, and nothing nearby either — the nearest left-luggage facilities are in the city centre, which is a 30-minute walk back the way you came. If you’re arriving in Liverpool by train on matchday with luggage, drop it before you head north. Medical or accessibility exemptions are arranged in advance through Everton’s accessibility team rather than at the gate.
Key Policies To Know
Expect full security screening for everyone entering, with physical searches and walk‑through scanners as needed. Alcohol is widely available on concourses but sales can be curtailed on police advice, and under‑14s must be accompanied by an adult. Re‑entry is generally not allowed once you leave, so plan toilets, smoking breaks, and merchandising runs accordingly.
Cashless: Like most modern Premier League venues, Hill Dickinson is a fully cashless stadium: kiosks, bars, and shops all take card or contactless only. Bring a physical card or mobile wallet that you know works internationally if you’re travelling from abroad; cash will not help once you’re inside.
Accessibility & Disabled Access Policy: Everton have put a lot of emphasis on making Hill Dickinson one of the Premier League’s most accessible grounds, with large numbers of wheelchair bays, step‑free routes to all levels, and a mix of pitchside and elevated accessible viewing areas. Fans can also access sensory and quiet rooms, audio‑descriptive commentary, and low‑level counters around the stadium; detailed information and any required pre‑registration live on the club’s accessibility pages.

Getting to Hill Dickinson Stadium
Don’t drive. The site was built with one approach — from the east — and the matchday road closures around Regent Road, Waterloo Road and the Ten Streets exist to turn those streets into walking routes. Train to Sandhills or walk from the city centre; those are the two real answers.
Parking
There is no public car park at the stadium and there won’t be one. A Football Match Parking Zone covers the residential and industrial streets around the ground, enforced with fines, so the “park on a side street and walk” habit from Goodison doesn’t transfer. The workable plan is to park and ride: Bootle Strand shopping centre to the north, with the matchday bus running from Stand 4 at Bootle Bus Station, or any city-centre multi-storey with a 30-minute walk or a shuttle at the end of it.
The hack worth knowing is the Merseyrail one — more than 40 stations across the network have free car parks, so driving to an outer station like Kirkby, Ormskirk or Hunts Cross and taking the train in costs you a couple of pounds and skips the whole problem.
Trains to Sandhills
Sandhills is the nearest station, about a 10 to 15-minute walk from the ground and roughly four minutes on the Northern line from the city centre. Trains run every 15 minutes on the Southport, Ormskirk, Kirkby and Hunts Cross lines, fares are cheap, and under-fives travel free.
Going home is a different story. Merseyrail run a phased corral system at Sandhills after full time, and it can add half an hour or more to your journey if you leave on the whistle. Two ways round it: walk 20 minutes south to Moorfields instead — the Old Hall Street entrance stays open late on matchdays — or stay put, have a drink, and let the queue clear.
Buses & Matchday Shuttles
Four commercial shuttle services run on matchdays, from Liverpool city centre, Bootle and Kirkby, starting around two hours before kick-off and restarting shortly after the final whistle — they don’t run during the match, so there’s no sneaking out early to catch one. Regular services along Regent Road drop within a short walk. Timetables shift by fixture and by event, so check Merseytravel’s Everton travel page rather than assuming last season’s numbers.
Walking from the City Centre
The best arrival in English football, if the weather cooperates. It’s about 30 minutes from the Pier Head north along the waterfront, past Stanley Dock and the tobacco warehouse, with the stadium growing in front of you the whole way. A Liverpool Echo reporter timed the Moorfields route at just under 24 minutes. Road closures make the last stretch traffic-free. In February, at night, in horizontal rain off the Mersey, take the train.
Taxis & Rideshare
Three ranks serve the ground: Sandhills station, Boundary Street near the junction with Vauxhall Road, and Dublin Street. Black cabs and app-based rides both work, but the cordon means your car can’t reach the stadium — you’re walking the last few hundred metres either way, and surge pricing after a night game is brutal. Dublin Street is the one most visitors don’t know about and the one that clears fastest.
Cycling
Cycle stands sit along the dock wall inside the stadium site, and the Liverpool Waters path runs to the door from the city centre. Voi e-bikes and scooters are available across the city. Don’t ride inside the closure zone once the crowds build.
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 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.
