Docktoberfest at Hill Dickinson Stadium has officially sold out, with more than 1,000 people set to attend the nine-hour festival this October.
The Bavarian-inspired event will take place at Everton’s waterfront home on Saturday, October 3, bringing together beer, food, live music and entertainment from 1pm until 10pm.
Demand has been strong since Docktoberfest was first announced, with Village Street and five of its interconnected venues set to be transformed for the Oktoberfest-style celebration.
A waiting list is now open for anyone who missed out on tickets.
Everton says up to 50 General Admission tickets, which had previously been held back for commercial and operational requirements, are expected to be released for public sale early next week.
People who have registered for the Docktoberfest waiting list will be eligible for the release, with selected applicants contacted directly by email and given the opportunity to buy up to two tickets.

What to expect at Docktoberfest
Docktoberfest will feature live brass bands, DJs, Bavarian-inspired food, beer tasting, karaoke, games and dining throughout the stadium’s Village Street area.
Guests will be able to move freely between the participating venues during the day.
Kendall’s Social will become the festival’s main bierhalle, while The Queen’s Head will offer beer tasting and sampling.
Domingo’s Bar & Grill will serve themed food before transforming into an evening cocktail lounge, while The Prince Rupert will feature karaoke, games and interactive entertainment.
Dixie’s by Budweiser will become a Bavarian-inspired food hall serving favourites including Bratwurst and Frankfurters.
The festivities will officially get under way with a traditional keg-tapping ceremony.
Live entertainment will include performances from Fat Cat Brass and Ivy League Oompah, followed by an All The Classics DJ Set during the evening.
The sell-out is another indication of the demand for events at Hill Dickinson Stadium outside Everton matchdays as the club looks to establish its new home as a year-round destination for sport, hospitality and entertainment.
