KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum FANS MOANING about price hike

And you feel that a yearly increase of 80 pounds on SOME seats will make us lose most of our core fan base, that fan base is I suppose very slim then, I would conclude

Well said.

How many people will actually be affected by the increase?
How many will no longer be able to afford (or choose) to go?
How many will will go along with the protest to try and get a bargain but will end up renewing anyway?

When you break the numbers down, I'd bet that less than a thousand will desert the club. The question is, does LFC have a big enough fan base/waiting list to replace those 1000 people? I'm pretty sure we have.

It's not the increase its the overall price they were massively overpriced last season. It's very easy for you to adopt that position when it does not apply to you.

Vish ever heard the saying

Straw that broke the camels back ?

Well, that's the difference, I am looking at it from a club's perspective of increasing revenue with a better market segmentation which, if ever is a flop could be corrected quickly, while you are looking at it from your own self perspective. It looks to me that you would even prefer to have the prices halved even if it means that we stay a bottom 10 club forever, I hope to be wrong, you tell me. I think that it is important that the club looks at all avenues to increase money available to improve the squad so that we can compete for the top spot again. If the demand is there they should go for it.

Vish if they get the pricing wrong it cant be corrected. Once those fans go they go for good. Carheex is a prime example wild horses would not drag him to anfield as he is used to watching on TV. I would probably be the same when I pack in. I dont see you vish hurrying to anfield why dont you make the trip of a lifetime?

Agree with Carheex here he makes a good point i would prefer to go to the games but i live in Ireland never bin to Anfield been to watch us away to Newcastle before though would love to go week in week out but to expensive, Carheex is correct Stan with these "price hikes" were only gonna lose about a thousand fans at the very most we have well enough to cover no doubt about it.

I think the ones affected the most such As Stan an Faz are simply letting their emotions get involved too much and aren't being objective. That's my view of things.

wouldn't you be emotive if something you havr done week in week out and put all you life into it travelled all over England and Europe doing it wouldn't you be emotive about it ?

I dont need evidence for it, it's a reality at the moment and I have no reason or proof that it will change. It's like me saying there will be a sun in the universe tomorrow, I don't need proof of it because it's our reality

...instead why don't you try and provide some evidence that we are wrong in saying that when all existing evidence points to the contrary. I don't know if we have ever had a season where every single match has been a sell out, so pointing out a few matches where Anfield hasn't been full is hardly valid.

Also since you are bringing up the amount of times I have been to a match, allow me to also say that I am amazed and disappointed at the lack of understanding and logical thinking portrayed by someone like yourself who has been to hundreds of matches yet still doesn't seem to understand that he will be replaced by another fan if he chooses to stop going. I am also shocked by the fact that you firmly believe that just because Carheex prefers watching at home all Liverpool fans do. I am positive a majority would love to go the games and that more than enough will be going if and when you decide to stop paying for the season ticket.

So, instead of asking me to provide evidence to support my claims, could I ask you to provide some unbiased evidence that I am wrong in assuming that LFC will continue to function successfully even after this price increase.
