Liverpool supporters have achieved a significant victory in their protests against ticket costs at Anfield after the club scrapped plans to increase prices for the next three seasons.Liverpool’s owner, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), went against the wishes of the club’s supporters board in March by announcing general admission tickets would rise by the rate of inflation, capped to 3%, in each of the next three seasons. Following widespread protests organised by several Liverpool supporters groups, the club have now confirmed those tickets will rise by 3% next season but will be frozen in 2027-28.

Further discussions with the supporters board will be held over ticket prices for future seasons. “We have asked Liverpool that it now works with us to explore alternative ways to generate revenue rather than ticket price rises during this time [the next two seasons], to which it has publicly committed.

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.“We would like to thank those at LFC who have listened to us and engaged with us, not all club hierarchies would have done the same. The club added that it 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.“LFC believes that, without wider progress on alternative solutions, future inflationary increases may still be required, including season 2028-29, and will continue to engage with its supporters.
