Fans are always bemoaning their clubs lack of ambition and demanding stellar signings every summer. They want multi-million pound squads and huge wage bills then moan about ticket prices. As long as people still go they'll continue to get fleeced. If you feel that strongly about it don't pay the ticket price in the first place. | |

I see your point, but putting up tickets is not going to increase transfer money significantly | |

I agree Nick but how many times over the years have we all said once tickets get to £10 I'm not going anymore then it was £15 then £20 etc. etc. it's no good blaming the club's if people are still prepared to pay such ridiculous prices | |

The attendance on Saturday showed that they are not prepared to pay them only around 2 -2,500 actually bought individual match tickets for the west ham game | |

I wonder what our season ticket prices will be | |
| |
| Price Row Uniting Fans on 22:46 - Feb 11 with 1084 views | kingslandstand1 |
Maybe we should all be like Dune and just not go with prices the way they are. Going against the grain and my own principals, but I'm afraid I am one of the mugs who will continue paying the price to support my team while I can afford it
And as for walking out of a game after 77 minutes or any other time then forget it, I'll stay until the end | | | |

I've pretty much stopped going away. I wouldn't bother match by match at home if I didn't have a season ticket. | |

For the West Ham game, did the late change of date make a difference? I know of at least 2 that were going Monday and had made other arrangements for the Saturday to suit the original fixture date | | | |
| Price Row Uniting Fans on 23:17 - Feb 11 with 1044 views | SaintNick |
It would have affected it, but there would conversely have been some people who might not have been able to make it on the Monday but could go on the Saturday, kids for example.
The club missed a trick they should have filled those seats with cheap tickets for kids | |

Come on nick, That's the sort of behaviour that had 10,000 Liverpool fans protesting at the weekend! Cheap kids tickets are bad news, we need to make top end tickets cheaper, that'll keep those tourists out

Hopefully a price freeze or slight reduction, as some season ticket may not renew.
As seen by the West Ham game match day tickets seem too pricey as we should have sold out but there were other factors to be fair Saturday. West Ham only brought about 2000, the weather would have put paid to any walk up sales and the late fixture change didn't help.
Many S/T holders didn't even turn up in that rain, wouldn't have thought those in attendance were even 26000 but all S/T holders are counted show or no show. I even missed my first home game for a couple of years as I paid £500 sovs for the club, grub and disco for my Mrs 50th birthday, thanks Liverpool for drawing.
Good on the Liverpool fans for walking out, but have I got this right. Not having the £77 tickets and removing the categorisation and charging a standard £59 for all games, doesn't this now increase prices overall for many teams not classed Cat A? ie pay same for Man U as Norwich, where as Norwich obviously should be much cheaper with less demand. | | | |

Has anybody actually worked out how much of a success this was for the city of self pity?
If Del right and it was 600 executive seats, how much will these rich fans be saving?
How much will this reversal cost LFC? | |

They are claiming a massive victory for ticket pricing but haven't really achieved anything of benefit for the poorer fan that wasn't already being offered by the club. The club have completely satisfied the mob by withdrawing one element that is worth £10800 per game over 6 matches and replaced it with a flat rate that will produce more over the season than the element that's been SUCCESSFULLY removed. The Fenway group must be delighted with how incredibly simple it's been to quell the squinnys and still reap a larger income. If anyone is deserving of a victory slap on the back its the Fenway group who have just shown how stupid their CUSTOMERS truly are. | |

Morning
Wether you or Del ( who obviously hates scousers) agree, what it has achieved is a huge media interest in ticket prices.. I certainly will be buying my Scouse mates a beer in France for the euros this summer, as I'm sick of paying mug prices and I believe like Nicks said, that this could kick start a united front against pricing in the modern game.. | | | |

Morning fella I'm about this weekend, that aside if you look at what's been achieved it amounts to a saving on 6 games and does nothing for the local fan that hadn't been offered already by the club. The club have actually over a season made the increase from that disputed section higher!! So to claim a victory for the ordinary fan is farcical as the fact is the club will make more money from the protest than they were before it. | |

"Same ol' scousers, always whinging"
But tbf, probably the only other club likely to get this much attention for doing what they did would be the mancs. This may just wake the greedy b'stard clubs up, at last. | | | |

Swings and roundabouts on that one. I work away so couldn't do Monday night but the change meant I went. | |

From a comment on football365:
"There was a graphic on Sky showing that the victory was actually going to cost the fans more for their season tickets as you would have all games raised to the categroy A cost. So instead of a season ticket for 2015/6 costing £1031 (6x£59+10x£53+3x£49) the 2016/7 cost is £1121 (19x£59).
So whilst the club have appeared to back down they have effrectively raised the price of your tickets for 13 games a season and taken another £90 off you.
Without wanting to sound negative or belittle the achievement is it really a victory or just a smaller defeat?"
Uniting the fans around more expensive prices. Classic. | | | |

Of course I get your point and Dels but after speaking to one of their Lads, the £77 wasn't the real issue, it was the build up of years and years of increases and they had had enough just like the rest of us..
The question is where would the £77 have stopped?? | | | |

Meant to quote Kingsland's West Ham comment above. | |

Yeah that's the way I see it. Sure, there are some ironies in the specifics, but overall the ticket prices are going up and that won't stop. Putting club differences aside, nearly every fan in this league is getting mugged off. | | | |

The 'big 4 or 6' can charge what they like. They'd be more than happy having 50,000 day trippers. Saints, Norwich, Leicester (unless they win the league and attract glory hunters), Watford etc have to be careful because the supporters are local. Saints' match day prices are expensive, and we aren't selling out. | |

What all clubs outside of the true big ones have to accept is that there i s a limit of how much they can actually achieve in terms of spreading the supporter base.
Walk down any high street in England and you will see Liverpool shirts despite the club not haing won a top flight title in over a quarter of a century, but you will rarely see a Manchester City shirt despite their money and success. | |

The late change defiantly effected the crowd last week even West ham who normally sell out down here didn't sell out
This is born out by the sales of tickets for Chelsea and Sunderland games which although more than 2 and 3 weeks away are both well on their way to selling out despite us having two home league games in 8 days | | | |

I don't hate scousers at all. If there protest was against £35 tickets for the kop or cheaper tickets for families or kids of have been fully supportive. Whilst people go on about the principle facts tell a very different story. As I mentioned in another post 64% of season tickets and over 40% of march tickets had gone down or been frozen. So if they weren't protesting against a small amount of high cost corporate tickets what exactly were they protesting about? | |
