Liverpool have announced an intention to raise season ticket prices over the next three years.
The news has sparked protests from official supporters groups, with plans for marches and in-stadium protests for the remainder of the season at Anfield.
Carragher told the Liverpool Echo: "My problem with it is... first of all, I think we've got great owners.
"No owners of any club are ever popular but they have been absolutely fantastic for us, I'd argue that with the staunchest Red who goes home and away.
"But I don't understand the ticket price thing in terms of how much they are bringing in from sponsorship and the revenue from the Premier League and when you look at wage bills, Liverpool's is right up there with the best. And this idea that they need to up ticket prices to pay for these players, it's absolute nonsense.
"The supporters are not daft, there's enough out there, the intelligent ones can put the numbers together and say well you're only going to gain an extra (small amount). So what do you gain from it really?
"The owners might come back and say their tickets are cheaper than Arsenal or Tottenham but it's a north-south thing and that is never going to wash. Unfortunately, they live in London, they can put their prices up and you can't do it here.
"You get it back in different ways at Liverpool, because we are a bigger club than them. We get more sponsorships than them, from whoever it is.
"And when you read about the wages players get, and I am not complaining, I got great wages, footballers deserve what they get, as long as they do their business on the pitch and in the main our players do.
"But no, I just don't think you need the fight with the supporters over it. There's no gain (from it)."
