Vish I understand demand for tickets is higher for liverpool and thats why they are more expensive than wigan. Do you think we are stupid ?
Not sure why they are more expensive than man utd though they have a bigger following than us and are top of the league. Thats one I dont understand.
But what gets my back up is your high handed text book analysis I am a chartered accountant and have run my own business for 15 years.
I know about elasticity of demand and any one of a number of ratios you want to throw from your lovely tropical island. I also know about keeping a customer base for which I can tell you for sure you will find in no textbook. Once you lose customers you dont get them back, first rule of business.
But with all due respect you dont rub shoulders with the people who go to anfield. I do and I can tell you they are average to middle earners with mortgages and families and in most cases many years of following the club.
They would not appraciate your text book but totally out of touch with what is happening on the ground in Liverpool which right now is snow and sleet.
If you are so right then you pick up the baton and wire accross £1000.
Otherwise show some respect. Show respect to what exactly, TO YOUR CRYING AND MOANING EVERYDAY HERE? You are a chartered accountant who understands everything in price elasticity of demand, but, still you don't seem to understand that the only way to know your ceiling is to increase minimally everytime you can preferably after market surveys, not by rubbing shoulders with your mates who have in a way occupied some specific seats for ages and do not want to change, even if there could be others who value those seats more than you. You also are well aware that it is not ALL seat prices which are being increased, but, probably those which are the most in demand, but, you just want to ignore all this...and you want me to show respect. vish mate ok not all ticket prices are going up , but the tickets that are , are tickets of reds who have been going for more that 10 years and like my self more than 30 years , and more importantly local reds which is a total insult , plus the main stand is total rubbish , two posts obscuring the view , very very poor facilities on the non existing concourses , and this is what they call a feasibility study by the club , if they get away with this hike expect a £1000 ticket at LFC within 2 years .

What intrigues me is that people are already spending a fortune for the priviledge of season tickets in a derelict stadium with poor facilties and obstructed viewing. It sounds to me like you are paying about 10 times too much already, so what's an extra £60 or £70?
A brand new 40" LCD TV in your lounge gives exceptional viewing angles, unlimited replays, cosy surroundings, central heating and immediate access to good food and cold beer for less than half the price of a season ticket. You can also watch porn in private at half time. No contest!

10 years back I earned 320 / 350 quid a week in the hand.
For a single lad, a match day ticket being 60 quid is nothing.
(not that it cost half that then)
Plenty of young lads - not to mention those still at home not paying rent, who can afford to take them seats off your hands - and still have more than enough left over.
Quit your winging - if you can't afford to go, then go the pub instead.
Sick to death of these ticket holders who've had the monopoly for years (ie. handed down / kept in the family tickets) The demand is there, believe me.
You've had a blooody good run.
Choice is yours.

vish mate ok not all ticket prices are going up , but the tickets that are , are tickets of reds who have been going for more that 10 years and like my self more than 30 years , and more importantly local reds which is a total insult , plus the main stand is total rubbish , two posts obscuring the view , very very poor facilities on the non existing concourses , and this is what they call a feasibility study by the club , if they get away with this hike expect a £1000 ticket at LFC within 2 years . Total OOT call - have a word with yourself.
