Liverpool will postpone implementing full price rises, planned to be phased over three seasons, in response to backlash from fans inside Anfield.
The Premier League title winners had unveiled their plan to use three-year price increases, to be based on inflation, in December, but reversed this policy on Thursday after widespread outcry from both the Kop and fan groups.
Fans produced yellow cards at Anfield for Liverpool’s recent win over Crystal Palace, bearing the slogan ‘Caution: Anfield’s Soul at Risk,’ and avoided buying food and drink to boycott FSG and protest against the hikes.
Liverpool has now stated that only a single inflation-linked rise will be introduced in the next season, and that prices will be frozen in the season after.
The supporters group, Spirit of Shankly, reacted by saying they “are pleased” to have reached an agreement with club officials with whom they entered into discussions on the matter.
Dissent among the fanbase grew more widespread following Liverpool’s announcement that they had achieved record revenue figures of more than 750 million for the year ending in May 2025, prompting fans to query why price increases were necessary at all.
Spirit of Shankly labeled the plan to increase prices “born out of greed.” Liverpool has also stated that it will consult with the Supporters Board in order to find commercial solutions and avoid future widespread price rises.
