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.
my idea was not just about Liverpool but about football in general. 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.
I agree, if there was a boycott at Anfield only, LFC will suffer as they will have to reduce their prices and therefore revenues while other clubs will keep it the same, however, that could spark a England wide protest, I am sure nobody wants to pay more if they could pay less.
The reason ticket prices are cheaper in Germany is only because they spend less on fees and wages, bar may be Bayern. They do happen to compete with lower costs, because they have access to a larger number of players compared to england as there are more people playing football there and they are also closest to Eastern Europe, thus, again have a relatively easier access the players in those countries too. The catchment area for players if I may say so is huge compared to England and because all teams do it, the competition is much more healthier, except for Bayern again who does have a large stadium (68k) and a lot of rich sponsors in Bavaria. If England adopted the same strategy, the EPL will be nowhere near the Bundesliga, just as comparable to the national teams. Where would be the EPL without foreign players? Same can be said of Real Madrid by the way, but, their revenue base is the biggest world wide.
