The Cost Of Being Liverpool keeps on going up. Season tickets, home tickets, tiered pricing, cup matches, away games, Europa League, Membership Schemes, Booking fees. There is always something more - an increased cost, an added cost - that makes it that bit harder to afford and often that much harder to justify.

In the modern game of football ticket prices are a massive focus for all football supporters with many being priced out of attending some or all of the matches they had attended in previous seasons. This was further highlighted in the BBC Price of Football survey which was published last week. This placed Liverpool FC as having the 2nd most expensive "cheapest match-day ticket" and the third most expensive "cheapest season ticket." 

With the new season upon us and thoughts of European travel a reality again, Spirit Of Shankly would like to ask Liverpool Football Club what are the conditions of the Thomas Cook sponsorship deal with the Club. 

Spirit of Shankly has become increasingly concerned with the increase in ticket prices for supporters, which has led to many members contacting us to ask what we can do about it.

On Tuesday 26th May 2009 SOS representatives met with Thomas Cook to discuss any common ground over the cost and arrangements of travel for Liverpool fans.
