Finally - It’s Happening!

I’m from the States. I’ve been an Everton fan since the early 1990s. I picked them randomly as all of my college buddies selected their team to follow; listening on Everton radio streams back then, following Blukipper, and that eventually led me to this site. I’m always reading the threads, laughing along, but very rarely chiming in. Thanks to NBC/Peacock coverage the last decade or so it has made it easier to watch every game,
Which leads me to the real story. My son is studying in London this Fall as part of a college program and we are going to see him late November/early December. I looked at the schedule and there were some midweek games on the docket. I was hoping Everton was playing somewhere in London, but that wasn’t the case-either Bournemouth away or Newcastle at home. I wrote it off, not trying to push my agenda, but the missus has warmed up to a day trip to Liverpool and an Everton game for all 4 of us to boot! Newcastle on Nov 29.
It’s not the Old Lady (one year too late) but truly excited to visit the city, see the Hill Dickinson, hear the siren and Z Cars live, and take in the sights and sounds of the team I’ve watched hundreds of time on the TV!
I’m going to have a million questions so bear with me. I’m starting with the simplest one - tickets. The OS has hospitality ticket packages. Is that the safest bet these days given the digital only system now in place? I know I’m going to pay a bit more. The first offering is basically 4 tickets in block 302 - top upper corner. I know there is not a bad seat in the house. The next few packages include some food and drink in the Village Street which looks like a “club” area inside the stadium with tickets in Block 301.
Thanks for any thoughts and perspectives.
