Liverpool have confirmed that general admission ticket prices will increase for the next three seasons, despite the club's disappointing Premier League title defence. Arne Slot's side currently sit fifth in the table, with their hopes of Champions League qualification in jeopardy after a 2-1 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Adult general admission tickets will rise between £1.25 and £1.75 per matchday, while adult season tickets will increase by £21.50 to £27 next season. Junior and local general tickets will be frozen at £9, and the upper age for young adult tickets will rise from 21 to 24. Away Premier League game prices remain capped at £30 following a unanimous vote by top-flight clubs.
The increases follow eight ticket price freezes in the last ten seasons at Anfield. Liverpool state they have engaged with their official Supporters Board through several meetings, but the board's request for a two-season price freeze was deemed 'not viable' due to rising costs and the need to remain competitive.
The Supporters Board criticised the move, stating: 'We felt this was an opportunity for the club to do what we might expect from those who pride themselves on it meaning “more”: be different from others, support fan loyalty, and work collectively on a solution that does not come at the expense of supporters.' The club's ticket renewal period is set to open next week.
