Liverpool Away New Years Day

Post by Barr Hill » Tue Dec 07, 2010 10:32 pm

I know it's some weeks away but the ticket prices for the game have been published and what a rip-off.

Adults - £41
Over 65's - £31
Under 16's - £20.50

I have taken my son to all away games this season (except West Ham & Arsenal) and the most expensive ticket was Aston Villa which I reluctantly paid £35 for an adult ticket. Most other matches have been more reasonably priced.

Asking over £40 is a disgrace and too much for me to fork out (along with a U16's ticket too). This will surely stop a good number of the growing away support attending. Well I certainly won't be paying £41. No league game is worth paying that amount.

Where have they plucked these prices from? Did Bolton charge similar prices for their fans?

I'm sure it was £32 either last year or the year before.. Anyone?

The work of Hicks and Gillett I suppose...

Thank you - you have just saved me a wasted journey... Didn't the new owner push up prices as the first act when he took over Red Sox?

£41 quid?! I was looking at this as 'local' and Christmass-y, but balls to that!

Plus £10 to some scallies to "look after your car".

Best chance in years to take 3 points at Anfield.

Certainly, its the best chance this year.

That pricing is almost as big of a joke as the club charging it. Almost, but not quite. The day I pay £41 to watch midtable rubbish like Liverpool will be a cold day in hell. Almost as big of a joke as Manchester United charging £40+ but at least they are quite good. Football prices are ridiculous, sounds pretty redundant in today's world but no football game should cost more than £20. I paid £36 to watch relegation favourites West Ham this year, if I had to pay that to watch that rubbish on a regular basis I'd be as upset with life as their fans always seem to be.

I think I saw less than that. Still, for £41 a pop I think they might be able to afford to have some ball boys this time.

I was going but now I'm not.

I could afford the ticket price but I don't want to pay it.

And agree with Caps' summation.

£41 on New Years Day!

They can get f*cked, ditto their blue neighbours who expect more than £30 to sit on wooden seats in one of the country's biggest slums.

Get to f*ck.
Troll and proud of it.
