Liverpool F.C. have scaled back plans to raise ticket prices over the next three seasons following protests from supporters. Recent matches at Anfield saw organised demonstrations, with fans displaying banners and chanting against the club’s American ownership, prompting a change in approach.
The club had initially outlined fixed ticket price increases for the next three campaigns, arguing that higher operating costs and inflation needed to be offset. However, the proposal sparked strong opposition among supporters, with fan groups directing criticism at owners Fenway Sports Group.
Following discussions with supporter organisations, including Spirit of Shankly and Spion Kop 1906, Liverpool agreed to revise the plan. Rather than implementing annual inflation-linked rises over the next three seasons, the club will now increase general admission ticket prices by three per cent next season before freezing prices for the 2027/28 campaign.
“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,” Liverpool said in a statement.
“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.
“Our matchday culture has also been top of the agenda recently and again, SOS, as part of the Supporters’ Board, will work to protect it. We would like to thank those at LFC 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.”
Liverpool are fourth in the Premier League and are set to finish the 2025/26 campaign without any silverware. Arne Slot’s side host Chelsea at Anfield in Saturday’s early kick-off before final matches against Aston Villa and Brentford.
