Liverpool have announced ticket price increases year-on-year for the next three seasons as fans grow furious.

The Reds have announced an inflation-linked ticket price increase from the 2026-27 campaign which has sparked debate online.

As reported by The Athletic, owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) had frozen prices across the board in eight of the previous 10 years but have now raised the price of seats in the Kop stand for the first time. 

The club forecast adult general admission ticket prices will rise between £3 and £4.50 per person, per match day ticket, over three years. 

Liverpool’s official Supporters Board revealed a statement on Thursday, bashing the plans which they deem to be unfair. 

“We’ve engaged with the club in direct discussions since early February,” they said. "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 Football Supporters’ Association’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.” 

After reporting a record £703M revenue earlier this year, the supporters board state that the move is “extremely disappointing” as supporters are hit by rising prices despite profit.
