From lfc
After an intense period of consultation with LFC management we have decided to make major revisions to our ticketing structure for 2016-17:
Removal of game categorisation – regardless of the opposition fans will pay the same price for matchday tickets.
The pricing of tickets will be readjusted to result in zero revenue growth from GA ticketing on a like-for-like basis.
Though individual ticket prices may move marginally from this season, we are freezing our 2016-17 GA ticket revenue at the 2015-16 level exclusive of newly-added seats in the new Main Stand.
The price of our highest general admission ticket will be frozen at the 2015-16 level - £59.
The price of our highest season ticket will be frozen at the 2015-16 level - £869. The lowest price reducing a further £25 from the 2015-16 level to £685, as well as all other tiers being frozen or reduced.
£9 GA seats will be offered for each and every Premier League match, an allocation of more than 10,000 tickets across the season.
We would hasten to add that the other initiatives announced last week in the 2016-17 plan will remain:
17-21 young adult concession – 20,000 tickets across the Premier League season available at a 50 per cent reduction for young people.
1,000 tickets to Premier League matches across the season will be given away free of charge to Liverpool schoolchildren based on merit, as recommended by their teachers.

Bold from their owners. They admit they were wrong, reverse their decision and scrap categorizing games.

Congratulations must go to brave, determined and active supporters who acted while others just moaned. Which will have helped all of us who live the game.
Also to FSF who have worked endlessly despite little appreciation from many, including some on this board.

Fine work from the FSF and those who did the walkout.
It shows despite the billions in the game supporters voices still carry weight and collective action can still be decisive.

Yeah this should be a signal to some on this very messageboard that fans still have power if only they would wield it together from time to time .
Bravo to Liverpool supporters on this

Bravo to Liverpool supporters on this Yes have to agree. Supporters hate each other with a passion at times. But just occasionally putting hatred to one side for the collective goal can achieve brilliant results. Well done Liverpool fans |

FSG have staunched the flow of what was rapidly becoming a PR disaster for them. It was interesting what Malcolm Clarke said this morning, that figures demonstrate that Premier League clubs could afford to let all their fans in for free and it would not affect their income.

The protests are now gathering momentum.
Fans of ALL clubs should take up the cause and let there boards and the media know what they think.
Malcolm made the very valid point this morning. The televised game, beamed around the planet needs HOME and AWAY supporters to provide the atmosphere.
TWENTY IS PLENTY?.
It will still cost more than that to travel to either Liverpool clubs.

Liverpool fans stage mass walkout during a match, whereas, Stoke fans have elected fans representatives (Alan Clarke) saying to the club that it would be "financial suicide" not to increase prices. This wanker will never live that down |

Do you think if supporters left their seats during a game to stand in the open corners that would prompt our board to build safe standing areas to complete our stadium?

Amazed how quickly Liverpool keeled over and apologized for any distress.
We have more power than we think when organized and should start using it.

As I understand it there is no FSF campaign regarding home ticket prices so it seems a little unfair to the Liverpool fans to take any credit for this. |

It`s OK for Liverpool or any club that follows suit that they will freeze season ticket prices. The fact`s are at the majority of clubs, tickets are vastly overpriced.

Perhaps you should ask him, he's following this thread. |

Don't think they could have done much else,Being the club they are,the world's media were on it like the plague.Well done to all the walkout fans. What they were thinking was that any tourists would happily pay that to experience the Anfield atmosphere and fuck their own local fans along the way. |
