Liverpool have confirmed this Thursday that ticket prices at Anfield will rise from next season, sparking anger and disappointment among many supporters. The club says the increases are being brought in to help cover rising running costs and will be linked to inflation over the next three years.
For 2026/27, most adult matchday tickets will go up by around £1.25 to £1.75 per game, while adult season tickets are expected to rise by roughly £21.50 to £27 across the year. Liverpool argue that this is a “small” change compared to how much it costs to stage games and invest in the team, and that there will be a cap on future rises of up to 5% per season.
However, the Liverpool Supporters Board have described the move as unfair, especially during a cost-of-living crisis, and say some loyal fans risk being priced out.
In a statement released on Thursday, they laid out the grievances:
“We’re extremely disappointed by today’s announcement from LFC of ticket price increases each season for the next three seasons. We’ve engaged with the club in direct discussions since early February. This followed a meeting with the club’s board and ownership last October. We were clear about our requests throughout: we sought a price freeze for two seasons, in line with the FSA’s ‘Stop Exploiting Loyalty’ campaign and sought commitment to work together to find alternatives that do not cost supporters more.”
“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.”
“Instead, today’s announcement will see increases for three consecutive seasons. This is in addition to the two increases over the last three seasons. Supporters are expected to pay more – up to 13% more during times of global uncertainty – despite record revenues. When we pushed back on this, it was indicated that a one-year increase would have to be above inflation.”
“We know and understand that LFC has increasing costs. So too do loyal supporters. LFC has increasing revenues built on the backs of supporters. Supporters do not, and they see no share in those rewards.”
“We welcome the changes to the young adult ages and are glad the club listened to our pushback on proposals to increase the age threshold for senior concessions. This is important and central to our issues with ticket price increases: we need to reward and protect our current and future loyal support on which the club is built.”
In their own statement, the club said that held a series of meetings with its official Supporters Board on ticket pricing and thanked them for their “valuable and significant input”.
This is an extremely disappointing decision from the club. We were clear to them that increasing prices for three seasons in a row is wrong and unfair
