Banter please Eds


The 2016/ 2017 pricing structure is now up.

What are everyone's thoughts?

Seems to me that both sides (the club and SoS) are picking and choosing which data points to highlight. Overall it seems to be a compromise that pleases no one entirely and in my experience those are generally the best ones.

I can't be the only one bothered by this can I?

{Ed002's Note - It has already been discussed at some length.}

Apologies but I thought the previous discussion was pre the release of the actual information.

My bad.

I have just had a quick look and it appears that my main stand season ticket which I have held since 1986 will go up from £819 to a minimum of around £959! I look forward to hearing how the club justify this, given that apparently 65% of tickets have either been frozen or dropped!

obvious really, someone at the club has obviously not factored in the huge rise in income through new TV deal.

Once this oversight has been realised, the Club will obviously sent out an apology and we will see the price of tickets fall instead of rise.

Just an oversight really - as if we'd want to deliberately price fans out of going to games.

This is an emotive topic as it hits us fans direct in the wallet but i'm sorry people are just foolish to think prices will drop or freeze when large numbers of fans demand signings each and evry window. Of course the club will raise ticket prices.

Whether players turn out to be the next messi or bruno cheyrou they still cost the club an arm and a leg which needs recouping one way or another and ticket sales are a revenue stream so it is inevitable this will happen.

A dose of realism is required, if you want liverpool to (try to) compete with the big boys be prepared to pay big boy money for seats.

You must be part of the other 35% so.

AggerDo, are you implying that these prices are mere guides and will go down? The club have already factored in TV deals etc.

The echo journalist reported and is quoted as saying, 'if Liverpool want the best players and the best facilities, then they have to be paid for"! Laughable really as we have neither. Moreover, that new Main Stand needs to be paid for. The TV deal has been taken into account and the rest will result in sustainable ticket prices.

On the whole a joke, my season ticket price will increase dramatically. It's actually a blind cheek, considering that the Main Stand for so many years is an appalling place to sit, with terrible seats and so many obstructed views.

Thank God for the TV money now the likes of WHU, Stoke and Newcastle can compete with us at the same level - MID TABLE

Look at Man Utd from the start of the premership. Doubled their stadium and pushed up ticket prices. Gave them so much financial power in the transfer market before the Glaaziers come along. They could outspend every other team each season by a ratio of 2 to 1. No wonder they dominated.

Things have equalised with the arrival of oil money. Arsenal have emulated Man Utd. They can spend 50 Euros per player without blinking.

But i guess we should stay where be are, not bother without joining the Euro Super League which will definitely alienate fans further when they can't afford to fly to Paris, Rome, Munich Madrid every other week.

Lets stay firmly in the past, forget about stadium naming rights afterall, we didn't do something as crass as introduce advertising into UK football with Candy on our shirts!

The main stand is awful anyway. Kop tickets are always the cheapest and the best place In the ground, get a ticket there instead.
