Topic: Club statement, re ticket prices

When did it change to "register your interest" for memeberships? Weird. I could just sign up whenever I wanted to before

If you have an existing membership you can renew for next season now.

I think register for interest is only for new memberships.

I know it's not the point but more cash grabs from fans, the new stand that's corporate heavy (after being sold to us as being more general admission), the membership thing. Are we still going to be the usual sell to buy in transfers, or will the new manager at least be given a competitive budget?

Ah. Mine expired in 2020

I'll sign up when it becomes available, hoping to make another trip next season

I'm not bothering with membership anymore.  I got no tickets in the ballots and had to pay ridiculous amounts for Exec instead.  For me, living in Devon and wanting 5 or 6 visits to Anfield a season, it's pointless.  Particularly as if you do get tickets in the ballot it's always for Burnley or Sheff Utd or Luton.

Don't be so naive mate. There are football clubs to be bought. You didn't think they were going to use their own money did you?

We are one of the cheapest in the league for a club our status ....................But hey seems like I may be in the minority.

You are mistaken, we are not one of the cheapest in the league - certainly when comparing the cost of season tickets....... You are correct when you say that you are in the minority though....

Our match revenue is 2-3 times that of Newcastle, for example, with about the same capacity (prior to the new stand opening this year).

Same with West Ham with less capacity.

"For a club our status"

He's not mistaken. There's probably only 2 clubs that can be compared to our status though.

So it's about £1 per match. Less than a pack of crisps. I know what i'd forgo.

German football is known for its relative affordability, with inexpensive standing tickets and public transport included. But how cheap is it really?

Ha, I remember hearing the same thing in the early/mid 90's when ticket prices started creeping up - all the way through to it soon pricing out sections of fans.

On the 1st page there is some content that explains why this isn't just 'a pound' or '2%' increase - as well as the club yet again sidelining the supporters board it put in place to erm... engage with about such issues - after multiple previous empty promises of 'we'll review and improve its engagement approach in collaboration with the Supporters Board'... yet again. Maybe worth a watch or read, mate.
