By managing payment and delivery the company guarantees that buyers will receive their tickets and sellers will receive payment.

Eric Baker, CEO of viagogo said. "We offer genuine Everton fans the only legal opportunity to buy or sell tickets, and we do so in a safe, convenient and guaranteed way. Toffees fans finally have the chance to purchase hard-to-get or sold out tickets to matches without illegally buying tickets from un-secure online vendors or match day ticket touts."

Keith Wyness, Chief Executive of Everton commented: "We're delighted to be able to offer our fans a great new service that benefits everyone involved. We are now one of only three Premier League clubs that offer the benefit of an easy to use secondary ticketing service which will ensure our supporters are getting genuine match tickets."
