Liverpool Ticket Price Rise Slammed by Fans: “Wrong & Unfair”

Liverpool’s supporters board have expressed their ‘excessive disappointment’ over the membership’s determination to extend ticket costs for the following three seasons.

Liverpool introduced that their ticket costs will rise restricted to inflation for the following three seasons, with a 3% improve confirmed for 2026/27.

The membership forecast grownup common admission ticket costs will rise between £3 and £4.50 per individual, per matchday ticket, over three years.

The information, at a time when supporters are already struggling rising prices at each flip, is disheartening and the supporters board, who have been consulted, deemed the choice “mistaken and unfair.”

In a strongly-worded assertion on X, they mentioned:

“We’re extraordinarily dissatisfied by right now’s announcement from LFC of ticket worth will increase every season for the following three seasons.

“We’ve engaged with the membership in direct discussions since early February. This adopted a gathering with the membership’s board and possession final October.

“We have been clear about our requests all through: we sought a worth freeze for 2 seasons, in keeping with the FSA’s ‘Cease Exploiting Loyalty’ marketing campaign and sought dedication to work collectively to seek out options that don’t price supporters extra.

“We felt this was a chance for the membership to do what we’d anticipate from those that pleasure themselves on it which means ‘extra’: be completely different from others, assist fan loyalty, and work collectively on an answer that doesn’t come on the expense of supporters.

“As an alternative, right now’s announcement will see will increase for 3 consecutive seasons. That is along with the 2 will increase over the past three seasons.

“Supporters are anticipated to pay extra – as much as 13% extra throughout instances of world uncertainty – regardless of file revenues. Once we pushed again on this, it was indicated {that a} one-year improve must be above inflation.

“We all know and perceive that LFC has rising prices. So too do loyal supporters. LFC has rising revenues constructed on the backs of supporters. Supporters don’t, and so they see no share in these rewards.

“We welcome the adjustments to the younger grownup ages and are glad the membership listened to our pushback on proposals to extend the age threshold for senior concessions.

“That is necessary and central to our points with ticket worth will increase: we have to reward and defend our present and future loyal assist on which the membership is constructed.

“We wished to see LFC prepared the ground. Sadly, they’ve chosen a path that leads the way in which within the mistaken path.

“We are going to remark additional later right now to stipulate what we mentioned with the membership, the options we sought, and the following steps.”

After reporting a file £703 million income earlier this yr, which noticed matchday income account for less than 16.5%, the transfer is, because the supporters board state, ‘extraordinarily disappointing’.
