Everton’s passionate supporters will back their club through to the end of the season with tickets to the final away game now having sold out.
The away end at Molineux will be full as Everton face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the penultimate match of the season. The Blues had been allocated just over 3,000 tickets.
Roughly the same number is due to travel to the south coast for the game with Brighton and Hove Albion on Monday with tickets also having sold out for that match. The remaining home games against Manchester City and Bournemouth have also sold out.

The numbers showcase the stunning commitment of supporters prepared to travel across the country despite the struggles facing the club Everton have walked out in front of sold-out away ends from Newcastle United to Southampton even though they have won just a handful of times on the road in the Premier League in the last two seasons. The only victory on the Blues' travels in the league during the current campaign was at Southampton in October.
While almost 10,000 Evertonians travelled to Old Trafford in early January for the FA Cup third-round tie with Manchester United despite the fixture taking place just after Christmas amid a cost of living crisis.
The strength of support is particularly pertinent with Everton facing another battle to survive in the top flight. Manager Sean Dyche and players including James Tarkowski have hailed the power of the travelling fanbase across recent weeks.
After the goalless draw at Crystal Palace, Tarkowski said of supporters: “There is a lot of off the pitch stuff going on but we don’t involve ourselves in that as players. I think the players and the fans are quite united at the minute, everyone has got the same goal, which is to stay in this league. We really appreciate everyone who travelled down today and every fan who turns up.”
Ahead of the match, which saw fans arrive early to show their support during the warm-up, Dyche said: “They keep going, keep cheering, and that surely has to be recognised by me, and by the team too. The commitment is absolutely there, and any part they can play is absolutely fantastic. And we have to keep giving them something to go on... it has to be there, that connection. Sometimes they can start the energy, sometimes we can, but it has to be there. And generally it has - I have no complaints with the supporters, they have been terrific, so if they can give us anything they can, brilliant."
On Monday, at Leicester City, Blues supporters once again provided the soundtrack for an away match and earned the appreciation of club captain Seamus Coleman, who acknowledged the travelling fanbase while carried off on a stretcher during the first half.
Despite uncertainty over which league Everton will be playing in next season, just over 97% of season tickets have been renewed.
