Everton chief Andy Duckmanton has promised revenue made on summer events at the Hill Dickinson Stadium will bolster the transfer kitty.
A pivotal summer lies ahead of Everton following a disappointing end to the 2025/26 campaign on Merseyside.
David Moyes is demanding summer spending after seeing his side fall short of the European qualification spots.

The Hill Dickinson Stadium has provided Everton with more financial freedom and the hope is it can help the club in the transfer market, too.

It has been suggested that Everton may only have a £50m net spend budget this summer due to the arrival of SCR.
A new squeeze from financial regulations looks set to impact Everton, the club will need every penny possible to be generated from their new stadium.
“It sure does [help]. We are governed now by stringent rules in terms of PSR and what we can spend on players based on the revenues that we can bring in,” Everton’s Chief Marketing and Digital Officer Andy Duckmanton told BBC Merseyside.

“The job for me and the team here is to support what the football staff do. That means bringing in third-party events.”
Everton will welcome the Lionesses in the coming days to host one of their games at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, but that is not the only event this summer.
“We all get the same distribution from the Premier League, and we all have player trading, but any advantage that we can deliver by programming the stadium, bringing in new events, and bringing in new revenue lines is all recognised.
“We can have a competitive advantage against clubs in our set by being able to program our stadium. We’ve seen this with West Ham, Tottenham, and Arsenal; they’ve all been able to increase their revenues by adding non-football events. That was always the plan for this world-class stadium: world-class events which bring in world-class revenues.”
Everton will also host the Magic Weekend for this year and there will also be other events for fans to get involved in like the golf driving range to take place ahead of The Open at Royal Birkdale.
Positive work is being done behind the scenes to make sure the new state-of-the-art stadium is being utilised at every possible moment outside of matchdays on Merseyside.
Real Madrid are even set to copy Everton’s golf event, which should act as major encouragement for the likes of Duckmanton who is working hard behind the scenes.
How much of an impact these events will have on this summer’s budget will have to be seen, though.
