This means that the inflation rate used for 2026-27 pricing changes will be based on the 12-month CPI rate to January 2026, which was three per cent."There will also be a cap placed on the level of pricing increases related to CPI to be applied annually over the next three seasons, up to a maximum of five per cent."Current match ticket prices on the Kop have not risen in more than 15 years, since FSG took ownership of the club – against a backdrop of cumulative inflationary rise across the economy of 45 per cent in that period."Meanwhile, Anfield matchday operating costs have significantly increased, with rises of 85 per cent since 2016-17, and continued rises in the cost of football operations in general."In the past four years, utility costs across the club have also increased by 107 per cent and business rates in that same period have grown by 286 per cent, while wages – excluding player salaries – have risen by 73 per cent."Junior tickets will remain frozen at £9 for the 11th consecutive season and are the same price as local general tickets, which have been available to those with a Liverpool postcode since the 2016-17 season."The upper age for young adult tickets will rise from 21 to 24 from next season, which increases the number of supporters who are eligible for a 50 per cent discount on adult general admission ticket prices.
