Liverpool supporters groups respond to ticket price increases and 'no meaningful consultation'

Liverpool Supporters’ Union Spirit of Shankly have criticised the news that Anfield ticket prices will increase next season.

The club has announced that costs for supporters’ season tickets and Members’ matchday tickets will rise by 2% for 2024/25, with the blame on increasing operating costs at the stadium.

It is a further increase on the 2% rise introduced for the current season. The most expensive matchday ticket will now cost £61 in the Main Stand.

Liverpool announce Anfield ticket price increase as rising costs blamed

Though Liverpool say that the increase is the lowest ticket price rise so far across the Premier League, Spirit of Shankly have slammed the lack of discussion with supporters.

“There’s been no meaningful consultation with supporters over this & it was totally opposed by SOS [Spirit of Shankly] and the majority on the Supporters Board @SpionKop1906,” the Union posted on X.

“It doesn’t reflect the discussions we had when they informed us of their plans. We are incredibly disappointed with @LFC,” they added.

Liverpool fans group Spion Kop 1906 wrote: “At a time of record revenues, LFC want an extra £1m from their loyal supporters. An amount that means little to the club but might mean everything to a supporter.

“LFC have shown disregard for us, @spiritofshankly, and the Supporters Board that they created, announcing price rises despite our opposition.

“We are considering our next steps”.

Liverpool have said that annual operating costs for Anfield have increased by nearly 40% over the past six years, during which ticket prices were frozen before this season’s 2% increase.
