EPL: LIVERPOOL CUT PLANNED TICKET PRICE HIKES AFTER FAN PROTESTS
Liverpool FC has reduced its planned ticket price increases for the next two seasons following protests from supporters and talks with fan representatives.
The club confirmed that general admission prices will now increase by three per cent for the 2026–27 season before being frozen completely for the 2027–28 campaign.
The move represents a shift from Liverpool’s earlier proposal to introduce inflation-linked increases over three years.
Under the revised structure, season ticket prices at Anfield will still rise next season, with the cheapest Kop seat priced at £734.50 and the most expensive Main Stand ticket costing £931.
Matchday ticket prices will range from £30 in the Anfield Road Stand to £62.75 in the Main Stand.
The decision followed protests from supporters and discussions with the club’s supporters’ board.
Fan groups, including Spirit of Shankly, had earlier organised campaigns urging supporters to spend money outside the stadium rather than inside as part of resistance against rising ticket costs.
In a joint statement, supporters’ representatives welcomed Liverpool’s decision to abandon the original three-year pricing plan, while noting that concerns remain over affordability.
The groups also said they would continue discussions with the club in search of long-term solutions to improve fan access and affordability.
Liverpool, however, warned that future inflation-linked price increases could still become necessary if alternative revenue sources are not identified.
