The Reds confirmed the price increase two weeks ago, but it sparked widespread condemnation among fans, especially given Liverpool posted record revenues earlier this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The club plans to increase prices by up to 5% in line with annual CPI inflation. This includes the price of an adult general admission ticket increasing from \u00a31.25 to \u00a31.75 per person per match day, as well as the price of an adult season ticket increasing from \u00a321.50 to \u00a327 for next season. This equates to an increase of up to \u00a31.42 per match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The club offered a number of concessions, including freezing ticket prices for seniors, locals and juniors. It&#8217;s also worth noting that while each ticket price category remains cheaper than local rivals Everton, Liverpool&#8217;s cost increases are considerably lower than the Premier League&#8217;s elite teams of the past decade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>However, as confirmed through a statement on Easter Monday, SoS is calling for further changes. &#8220;Supporters are angry. They have a right to be angry,&#8221; declared the Official Supporters Trust. &#8220;Liverpool FC has chosen to ignore the clear overwhelming opposition from its supporters and go ahead with its plans to increase ticket prices for the next three seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Express sports on FB! Get all the best sports news and more on our Facebook page<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;Public meetings online, surveys and countless conversations all show the same thing: the fans do not accept this decision and if the club&#8217;s owners will not listen, we will decide. This is no longer a consultation. The opportunity has passed. This is a matter of action.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"photo changeSpace\">\n<p class=\"withoutCaption\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoomEnabled\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/1200x712\/secondary\/manchester-england-liverpool-manager-arne-slot-during-the-emirates-fa-cup-quarter-final-match-6846084.jpg?r=1775490903263\" alt=\"Arne Slott looks on\" title=\"Arne Slott looks on\" width=\"590\" height=\"394\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"newsCaption\">Ticket prices will rise despite Liverpool&#8217;s slump under Arne Slott <span class=\"caption\">(Image: Getty)<\/span><span class=\"magnifier\" data-img=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/1200x712\/secondary\/manchester-england-liverpool-manager-arne-slot-during-the-emirates-fa-cup-quarter-final-match-6846084.jpg?r=1775490903263\"\/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The SoS confirmed that clubs have been notified that a demonstration will take place. Details will be announced in due course, but some form of protest is planned for this weekend&#8217;s home match against Fulham. The group also announced a &#8216;Not a Pound in the Ground&#8217; campaign, calling on supporters to spend as little inside Anfield as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;Spend your money at local independent businesses around Anfield instead,&#8221; the SoS wrote. &#8220;This is a small gesture, but if enough people do it it will send a clear message. Supporters have also proposed deferring season ticket renewals until closer to the deadline, which we support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The club defended the increase, pointing to a long-standing commitment to freeze ticket prices under FSG&#8217;s ownership, as well as citing rising matchday operating, utility and business rates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>But SoS hit back in a statement, reaffirming its position that these decisions rest firmly with ownership, while insisting that the protests were not just in the interests of Liverpool fans, but also concerned all other clubs in the Premier League. \u201cAt the end of the last three years we will see prices rise for the fifth time in six seasons, with tickets heading towards \u00a370 and season tickets over \u00a31,000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not just a question of price, it&#8217;s a question of direction. It&#8217;s a question of what kind of football club Liverpool choose to be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;One that is rooted in the people, or one that sees the people as a source of income that can be boosted year after year.
