umm so when it says season ticket it means all home games in the league(24 games)? do you get anything else with season tickets? In EPL there are 20 teams, which means 19 home games. That's what's included in the season ticket price. Bundesliga in Germany have 18 teams, which means they have 2 home games less (=17) - and hence their season ticket prices should be around 11 % lower, just because of that fact.

That explains 11 percent of the 800 percent difference in ticket prices between Bayern and Liverpool

The problem with trying to organise a mass boycott for 1 game is as follows:
Not everyone is that angry about the increase and many only have a relatively small increase. If the fans love the club so much that they will pay through the nose for the ticket AND STILL MOAN about the price, then there is very little chance that you would get them to stay away from a game.

Not stirring - just sharing some info on a current topic.
With the EPL being the richest league in the world you would think that the clubs could afford to lower the ticket prices. The problem we have though, is that too much of the money coming into the game is going out the door on overpriced players, agent fees and massively inflated wages. We need to pay these fees/wages or the players won't come - and if the players won't come then the huge TV deals will shrink, leaving clubs with massive overheads and reduced income to cover them. Therefore, the clubs must 'speculate to accumulate'. It's a vicious circle and was in danger of spiralling out of control before FFP came into play. I don't know what the solution is, but I'm happy to shoot any of your nonsensical ideas down in flames if you like....
i have given you many chances to do that but you can only take the P155 and dont come up with constructive criticism? just like you never answered my question are you in support of lfc lowing its prices for fans in this topic, if you put your energy into being constructive with your comments instead of knocking and taking the P155 you could go far, you comment on others idea's like your the be all end all to what is viable,marketable, and acceptable on these forums! truth is though you don't really know as is evident with knocking methods of marketing that work well in other sports and businesses, I'm sure you'll come back with some silly flag, chant, or is a yawn a dyslexic ynwa as your answer  comment to be funny as that's what your good at! but not much else I'll have to remember to be worried you might shoot down my comments in flames in future hey!  really haha If you read my last comment you will see that I have stated that I don't know what the solution is - to be honest, I'm not even sure what the question is! Either way, just because I don't know what WILL work it doesn't mean that I don't know what WON'T work. In a nutshell, if it's one of 'your' ideas, it's safe to assume that it won't work. Anyone else's ideas are probably worth exploring....

Didn't see that question - sorry. Am I in support of LFC 'lowing' it's ticket prices? I'm not bothered either way to be honest. Owning a season ticket is a luxury purchase that not everyone can afford, even before the price increase. Do the people who currently own one have any sympathy for those that are already unable to buy one for whatever reason? Doubt it. I'm sure we'd ALL love to have one and only pay a penny for it but that's not possible.
I'm againt people complaining about the prices though.

For it to be effective it would have to be across all the premier league. Also the target is not just the clubs's but the players as well who should be aware that asking for bigger contracts has an impact on the supporters.

Unfortunately, very few players give a flying fvck about anything other than their money.

Ze Germans do seem to have it right in all aspects of life. Their economy is good and they stripped their football back to basics and started again. They had the World Cup which is why most of their teams have the stadia that they do. And I wouldn't mind betting there was public money involved. We just don't compare to them. Yeah they do have things right all round wilkij, but I'd say it not about comparisons so much as the will to compete with them across the board. In addition they have a philosophy of keeping direction and control of things, and that has led them to where they're at now. Whereas in Britain everything is allowed to rip, with an emphasis on a free market philosophy, (except of course when it comes to labour!) this as we unfortunately know leads to a boom and bust cycle, and just now we're still in the boom phase in the football economy, hence the robbery at the gates, and general ripoff, with not a lot of investment, or longterm development philosophy.
