its not a joke, but i am playing devils advocate, if you want success you need money. I would prefer to watch half as many games a year and pay the same if it meant that we had the best players in the world. The only way you will ever solve the touting problem is by raising the prices to market clearing prices, there is no other way
Thankfully that mindset isn't prevalent in our fanbase.
Sorry but if you look at the actual differences in income for the club when it comes to higher ticket prices, that idea you put forward just falls apart. The club wanted to raise the ticket prices upto £77 in parts of the ground, but it only increased the club's revenue by £2 million when all would have been said and done. Sorry but an extra £2m per year isn't going to allow Liverpool to start buying players like Hazard, Aguero and Neymar.
With the new TV deals, the effect of ticket prices on a football club becomes smaller and smaller, I believe it's <20% of total income at LFC now, although Graham will know better. It doesn't matter what Liverpool do with ticket prices, they won't allow LFC to compete with City/Chelsea/United
If Liverpool tried to take such a right wing approach to football, it'd lead to more protests, followed by the Kop no longer having flags, followed by LFC no longer having those "special nights at Anfield" because it'd be a ground of customers and not fans. This would not only effect the players on the pitch, but it also stops the club getting people like Klopp who came due to the culture of the club, and the club loses it's unique selling point to potential investors and commercial partners.
The club had a taste of what happens when they try to push too far, even fans on the kop who's ticket prices would go down, joined in the walkout. Fans walked out at 2-0 in the 77th minute, by the final whistle it was 2-2 and those remaining booed them off the pitch. They surely aren't dumb enough to go down that route again
