Liverpool has confirmed a change in approach regarding ticket prices at Anfield following fan protests that urged owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) to reconsider increases.

The plan for three years of increases has been scrapped. Next season's prices will increase in line with inflation, followed by a price freeze for the 2027/28 campaign.

"In March, the club confirmed a ticket pricing plan in which general admission ticket price increases would be limited to inflation for three seasons, while including the continued freeze on junior and local tickets at £9 and the expansion of the young adult category to include supporters up to the age of 24," a statement posted on the official club website reads.

"Following further dialogue with its Supporters Board, the club can now confirm an inflationary increase of three per cent to general admission tickets for season 2026-27, followed by a price freeze for season 2027-28.

"Further discussions will take place with the Supporters Board for future seasons.

"The club and Supporters Board will use the certainty of these seasons to seek longer-term alternative solutions across the game and explore commercial ideas with the Supporters Board in an attempt to avoid future ticket price increases and address issues around affordability and accessibility for future generations.

"The club is also pleased to confirm the implementation of a young adults section within the Anfield Road Stand, with more details to follow.

"LFC believes that, without wider progress on alternative solutions, future inflationary increases may still be required, including season 2028-29, and will continue to engage with its supporters.

"Both the club and the Supporters Board are committed to exploring a longer-term solution that works in the interests of all.

"The club also remains committed to managing its cost challenges responsibly, giving advance notice to supporters and certainty to its own financial planning to remain competitive at the highest levels of football."

Fans protested the decision to increase prices via a "Not a pound in the ground" initiative that encouraged fellow supporters not to give the club extra money.

Yellow cards aimed at FSG were also shown in the last home game against Crystal Palace, to show that it was not a minority of fans who were against the decision.

"Following talks with the club, we’re pleased that there is an improved outcome for all supporters," the Liverpool FC Supporters' Board said in a statement following the announcement.
