Liverpool have announced an increase in ticket prices at Anfield for the 2023/24 season in what signals the first increase in eight years.
Liverpool have made the decision to raise ticket prices for the first time in eight years despite recently announcing a club record £594.3m revenue for the 2021/22 season.
Liverpool increase ticket prices
Ticket prices have been frozen at Anfield for the last eight seasons, but will now rise by 2% due to "significant rising costs across the club."
"The rise is a result of significant rising costs across the club," Liverpool said in a statement.
"In the past five years, annual operating costs for Anfield have increased by nearly 40% and utility costs have gone up by 100% this season."
The Liverpool Supporters Board have kicked against the new development calling the price increase "cruel, unjust, unreasonable and unfair" amid a cost-of-living crisis in Britain, where annual inflation remains above 10%.
Liverpool, who are currently sixth in the Premier League will need to finish in the top four this season or find a way past Real Madrid via the most unlikely of results, to avoid missing out on Champions League revenue next season.
