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. Well said !

i've had mine 25 years now,got mine 86/87 after the double season. i think my season ticket cost me £42 back then. now it's close on that to see one game!
i prefer going to aways tho so i try and sell my home games as often as possible. the cost is just too much.
the last 2 seasons i've limited myself to 20 games a season,but even that is costing far too much now.
i was seriously considerig jacking it all in this summer. but now benitez has gone i'm giving it 1 more season.
like you say, at one time there were loads of us with season tickets and going home and away. now there are 5 of us making home games and 3 of us who qualify for aways.
and after you've spent all that money going,the day out is rubbish! sunday football and stupid kick off times for tv.

i have to say that, since my daughter was born, i haven't been to anfield ..... doesn't seem worth the expense to travel to the games to watch the crap we get served when i can save it to make sure she gets the opportunity to go to uni when she finishes school

Some good points being made here. Liverpool fans who have watched all their live (me included) now choosing to or thinking of not going to the games. That fan base is irreplacable yes I know the club will always sell tickets but who is coming in their place? I think in the future it will just be the very wealthy on merseyside and tranisent support from all over the country who treat the experience as perhaps like a visit to a tourist attraction. E.g they may get a ST for a single season for the experience. No one on normal salaries can afford those prices.

I will probably have one more season now paying for the ticket out of my savings. But the cup games no way Europa a joke and if they get to wembley I will watch on the telly. One time I went to every european final all wembley apperarances and all home games and most away games. Seems a distant memory now.

it's the same at a lot of big clubs. the old style of fan has all but disappeared. all we have are a few die hards,loads of fans who are better off financially but out of touch with the game and a good amount of tourist "fans".
what with a fixture list dominated by tv,expense of tickets,lack of atmosphere and football becoming a game for pansies....i'm very close to doing what i never thought i would do.....PACKING IT ALL IN!

it is the messing about with the times of games that caused me the most problems in the past - you would book time off so you could go the games then sky would pick those matches for tv and you could guarantee you couldn't swap your time off
add that to obscene prices and it just doesn't seem worth trying, especially as none of my mates that i used to go with can afford it anymore
