Everton announce special pre-season event before historic clash

Taking place on Friday, July 31 at UberQuell, one of Hamburg’s independent micro-breweries on the banks of the Norderelbe, Das ToffeeFest will be delivered in collaboration with Bongo’s Bingo, combining the energy of the UK’s best-known bingo show with former Everton player appearances and the tradition, atmosphere, live music and shared tables of a German beer hall.

The event will take place the night before the Blues' landmark double-header against Hamburger SV at Volskparkstadion, with Everton Women facing HSV-Frauen at 12.30pm UK time before the men’s first team take on Hamburger SV later that afternoon (4pm kick-off UK time).

With supporters from the UK, Germany, the rest of Europe and beyond set to descend on the city, Das ToffeeFest will bring Blues together for an unforgettable start to pre-season in Germany - celebrating the spirit of Liverpool, the atmosphere of Hamburg and the passion of Evertonians.

Hosted in a traditional brewery setting in central Hamburg, fans can expect a Everton-themed Bongo’s Bingo experience with music, audience interaction, competitions, giveaways and plenty of surprise moments throughout the evening.

The night will also feature a live Q&A with ex-Everton captain Phil Jagielka and other former players, alongside special guests.

German BBQ-style food will be available to purchase throughout the evening, with fans able to enjoy the shared-table atmosphere of a Hamburg beer hall ahead of a memorable weekend of football.

There are three ticket options.

Das ToffeeFest ticket costs £35 and includes full access to the event, including live entertainment, Everton-themed Bongo’s Bingo, the live Q&A with former players, competitions, giveaways and the full pre-season festival atmosphere.

The Royal Blue Ticket costs £55 and includes everything in the Das ToffeeFest ticket plus reserved seating close to the stage and an exclusive Das ToffeeFest commemorative gift.
