New season ticket prices £680.

To watch that tripe we had last season. Plus your all the cup games plus everything else.

With sky etc minimum £2000 and that out of taxed income. So if you are on say £25,000 per annum 10% of your earnings are on LFC alone.

Who can afford that these days if you have a job you are one of the lucky few.

Attending football really is for the well off.

It is a mugs game. To all those waiting for a season ticket don’t bother.

I watched the panorama programme last night about football generally and the glaziers.

From what I could gather the loan on Man Utd is £500m with Glaziers personal loan £300m. But the glaziers are using trickery to get the club to pay off the £300m personal loan. Total bill for the fans £800m with season tickets / merchandising etc rocketing in price to pay the debt.

We are not as bad as them but we are in the same boat.

Think about it people with no job or moderately paid with commitments filling the pockets of international crooks.

The other thing the documentary showed is loads of clubs are about to go bust especially lower leagues but also a good number of premiership clubs such as Fulham.

I hope as many as possible go bust (including LFC & Man Utd) they have taken the p*ss out of fans for too long.

This is unsustainable,

only way you'll have chance of getting one is if we get the new ground. there are over 50,000 on the waiting list but that isnt as bad as it seems.

many on the waiting list no longer want a season ticket.

many couldnt afford a season ticket even if they were offered one

many names on that list are a case of people getting friends and relatives to enlist on their behalf because they think it gives them a beter chance of getting one

take away all those people and i reckon we'd clear the waiting list if we issued an extra 20,000 season tickets once the new ground is built.

Kopite I agree with you.

£700 plus all the other stuff cup games (£40 a throw) sky at £300 per year plus throw in a few foreigb trips. To pay that sort of money you have to be on serious money £60k plus. Or you need to be totally dedicated and spend everthing you have on LFC. That is a declining group of people and I know several Utd and Liverpool fans who are having to give it up as they can no longer continue to pay out at those levels. Hopefully the new ground will give more tickets that can be bought for individual games then you can say attend 4 /5 games a season. The days of the season ticket are going I feel at these prices.

Had to give mine up 3 years ago. Can't see a time when I'll be able to afford to start again. I limit myself to a handful of games now.

I do have a season ticket had one for coming up to 25 years now, the price of nearly £42 a game if bought at the window is scandelous, I personaly dont think it's worth it even if the club was winning leagues and Champions leagues with free flowing attacking football. I come from the City and from having loads of mates with season tickets less than ten years ago there is only about five or six remaining, simply because people cannot afford them. To charge people from Liverpool so much money when many families are living on the breadline just goes to show how distant the club has gone from the people in which the club takes it's name. I know the club has no identity now as it's just a money making business which gets subsidised by people's blind love for the way the club used to be, it's just very sad how far the club has drifted away from us local fans and these prices reflect this.
