KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum And the price hike begins

Listen this is the big problem on here with fans, I am not going to open up this topic again but straight away you have a different take on things from fans, people who dont attend games on here are already saying it's not as bad yet faz is already contemplating having to give up his season ticket he has held for over 20 odd years. If I renew my season ticket it will cost 52 quid because I sit bang on the halfway line in the centenery upper section, I just dont understand how you can ask for top four prices while at the same time give a mid table product, even top four does'nt justify that price...

Faz may well be right that's it's still overpriced, but the opening comment was unfair and misleading.

It would also be interesting to know what the supporters committee said about it. does anyone on here communicate with the supporters commitee?

Exactly mate this just the start 10% most are freezing or reducing prices in the north west , and I don't know how £52 a game can be justified, very conveniant the clubs goes into the red andvthe ticket prices go up shame on you ayre, and FSG

Don't buy at all or buy a ticket you can afford if you feel it's justified, nobody is holding a gun to your head, isn't it? Faz has made up his mind of not buying from what I understand, only this kind of behaviour can make FSG change their approach, it all revolves around supply and demand in a free capitalist market the world is or has become.

i think its a shame the tickets prices have gone up but like the idea of making it cheaper for the youngster and the old. i would of liked to see the prices being frozen. o well look on the bright side atleast the number one supporter in the world will have to pay extra.

One of my mates had just sent me a message on Facebook he went to Munich last weekend and to watch bayern Munich at home €13 to watch to CL team play in a top league €13 not £ 52.

i dont think you can compare the prices mate. you wouldnt even get championship/league 1 tickets for that price. would love to see us build a 75k seater stadium and charge £25/30 per game

yes i know its a bigger ground , bt even at the likes of german clubs with similar ground sizes to LFC its nowhere near £52 for a ticket or even £40 for that matter ,i cant see how this can be justified , i see arye mentions fans groups well no one has ever asked me or anyone i know for there input , sorry but it just the start this and i pay £83.42 a month for the season ticket 10% rise means £93 to £95 a month instead now come on surely you can see how much of a disgrace this is , i see another poster mention no one has a gun to your head to go , bt if something yo have done and love since you were 7 is now going to be taken off you because its is far to expensive then justifiy that koptalkers , it cant be justified , this price hike is wrong and poorly thought out by ayre and FSG , in these days of foodbanks and no money and no work for people .

I sympathise with you Faz, but we have to accept that football has become a business. In addition, our club is under severe pressure to compete at the top. So the club will charge the most it can whilst keeping the stadium full on an ongoing basis.

The club will not think about the financial circumstannces of those who have been attending for years. If you can't afford it but someone else can the club won't blink an eyelid. In a way, that's not a bad thing. It's part of life. all things come to an end at some point... out of the destruction, something new is born... a new season ticket holder. It's nothing personal ... just the circle of life.

Have to agree with Faz here. 'Normal' seats got a £70 increase, while the biggest reduction is £15. That's a bit stupid. It's a nice idea to offer kids and grandads cheaper tickets, but I would have thought the vast majority of ticket buying fans don't fall into either category. It's like they've reduced some prices as a distraction from the massive increase in most seat prices.

I've never been to Anfield, mainly because it would cost me too much as an all round trip (I live in Brighton). It's looking even more unlikely now, would probably be the best part of £300 for a day/ weekend away!
