Liverpool have reduced their planned ticket price increases for the next two seasons following protests from supporters and talks with fan representatives.

Liverpool FC confirmed that general admission prices will now increase by 3% for the 2026–27 season, before being frozen completely in 2027–28.

This represents a shift from the club’s earlier proposal to raise prices in line with inflation (CPI) over a three-year period.

Season ticket prices at Anfield will still go up next season, with the cheapest seat in the Kop set at £734.50, while the most expensive seat in the Main Stand will cost £931.

Matchday tickets will range from £30 in the Anfield Road Stand to £62.75 in the Main Stand.

The revised decision followed fan protests and discussions with the supporters’ board.

In a joint statement, fan groups said: “We welcome the decision that Liverpool FC will no longer proceed with its previously announced three-year ticket pricing model.”

They added that while some fans may still be disappointed by the upcoming increase, talks with the club would continue to explore ways to improve affordability and access.

Supporters’ organisations, including Spirit of Shankly, had earlier encouraged fans to reduce spending inside Anfield as part of their protest against rising prices.

Although the club has agreed to the revised short-term changes, it warned that inflation-based increases could still be considered in the future if alternative revenue solutions are not found.

Further discussions between the club and fan representatives are expected in the coming seasons.
