Liverpool revise plans to increase ticket prices after protests and talks with supporters’ board

Liverpool FC have made the decision to revise plans to increase ticket prices after protests and talks with the supporters’ board.

The Reds have scrapped three years of ticket price increases, and instead, will be an inflationary increase of 3% to general admission tickets for the 2026/27 season.

That will then be followed by a price freeze for the 2027/28 campaign, then more a further discussion will be held with the Supporters Board regarding the future.

LIVERPOOL STATEMENT:

Liverpool FC can confirm an update to its previously announced ticket pricing approach for future seasons.

In March, the club confirmed a ticket pricing plan in which general admission ticket price increases would be limited to inflation for three seasons, while including the continued freeze on junior and local tickets at £9 and the expansion of the young adult category to include supporters up to the age of 24.

Following further dialogue with its Supporters Board, the club can now confirm an inflationary increase of three per cent to general admission tickets for season 2026-27, followed by a price freeze for season 2027-28.

Further discussions will take place with the Supporters Board for future seasons.

The club and Supporters Board will use the certainty of these seasons to seek longer-term alternative solutions across the game and explore commercial ideas with the Supporters Board in an attempt to avoid future ticket price increases and address issues around affordability and accessibility for future generations.

The club is also pleased to confirm the implementation of a young adults section within the Anfield Road Stand, with more details to follow.

LFC believes that, without wider progress on alternative solutions, future inflationary increases may still be required, including season 2028-29, and will continue to engage with its supporters.

Both the club and the Supporters Board are committed to exploring a longer-term solution that works in the interests of all.

The club also remains committed to managing its cost challenges responsibly, giving advance notice to supporters and certainty to its own financial planning to remain competitive at the highest levels of football.

#NotAPoundInTheGround – Liverpool fans explain decision to protest against ticket price rises

Liverpool fan unhappy with other supporters spending money on concourse after protests

Joint Statement From Fan Representatives On Liverpool FC Ticket Pricing

WE welcome the decision that Liverpool FC will no longer proceed with its previously announced three-year ticket-pricing model.

Following supporter protests at a locked-in multi-year deal and conversations with the Supporters’ Board over the past days, the club has pledged a new proposal that will allow us to examine thoroughly long-term solutions surrounding fan affordability and access.

The club has now confirmed a 3% inflation-based rise for general admission next season, followed by a freeze on prices for season 2027/28.

We have asked Liverpool that it now works with us to explore alternative ways to generate new revenue rather than an ticket price rises during this time, to which it has publicly committed to further dialogue and to helping us seek new approaches.

We understand that disappointment at next season’s increase in ticket prices will remain for some, but we want to assure fans we will continue talks with the club and do our best to find other ways in the future. We might not have halted immediate increases, but we have stopped three consecutive increases.

Our matchday culture has also been top of the recent agenda and again, Spirit of Shankly, SpionKop1906 and all groups on the Supporters’ Board, will work to protect this.

We would like to thank those at Liverpool FC who have listened to us and engaged with us – not all club hierarchies would have done the same. And we look forward to working with them to find future paths that benefit all.

We also want to thank you for backing us, for helping with handing out leaflets, for protesting and making sure your voices were heard.

We could not have reached this point without you.

We’ve got just two games left at Anfield, let’s enjoy them.
