Updated / Thursday, 7 May 2026 10:43 Liverpool fans will see their ticket price frozen after next season Liverpool have altered their future ticket pricing plans after a supporter backlash. The club announced in March that general admission tickets would rise with inflation for the next three seasons, after supporters' groups had petitioned for a freeze.



"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," a club statement issued on Thursday morning read. "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 Spirit of Shankly fans' group responded to the news by stating: "We welcome the decision that Liverpool FC will no longer proceed with its previously announced three-year ticket-pricing model. "We understand disappointment at next season's increase in ticket prices will remain for some, but there will be none the season after and we want to assure fans we will continue talks with the club and do our best to find other ways to prevent future rises.
