Ticketing
Ticketing is the most regular issue that fans tend to have with Liverpool Football Club.
Typical issues are ticket prices, availability, members sales, booking system, fan update for members, fan update for season ticket holders and ticket touting.
Our track record includes #FootballWithoutFansIsNothing, #TwentysPlenty and supporting Spion Kop 1906’s #WalkOutOn77.
We’ve been successful in driving the away ticket price cap, have successfully campaigned on home ticket prices, Cup pricing, local sales. We constantly strive to help young people get into Anfield. We collaborate with the FSA, other supporters groups on a range of ticketing issues nationally and we’ve campaigned in Europe for a fairer share of tickets and better conditions surrounding European Finals.
Its an ongoing and ever movable issue that isn’t going to go away. We commit to representing Liverpool supporters and our members and speaking up on the issues that concern us all.

Hull protest a massive success
Tonight’s protest against ticket prices has been a massive success. Initial estimates from sources and from pictures are that over half of all tickets for the away end have gone ‘unused’.
Hull – The choice for supporters
In just under twenty four hours’ time, Liverpool FC will take to the pitch at the KC Stadium. It’s a regular run-of-the mill Premier League match. Off the pitch, and in the stands, it is anything but regular. Instead of the usual packed and boisterous away end, full of the club’s loyal supporters, there will be empty seats. The usual defiant stand taken by supporters will be just a stand, bare and quieter than usual.

Football Without Fans Is Nothing – The campaign starts now
At this week’s away matches, against Arsenal and Manchester City, the Liverpool Supporters' Union, will start a campaign highlighting the increasing cost of ticket prices for away supporters and proposing a £25 flat rate for all supporters at away games.
Football without fans is nothing
At a time of increasing commercialisation, it’s important to remember what made the game of football the sport it is today. Footballers, managers and the supporters. Or the ‘Holy Trinity’ as Bill Shankly liked to call it.
Ticket Prices at Away Games – Update
Following the resolution at our last EGM, the Liverpool Supporters' Union has been working on its plan to campaign for a flat rate of a £25 away ticket price for all supporters at Premier League matches. Away ticket prices have hit the national headlines in recent days, due to the £62 cost of a ticket for the forthcoming Liverpool FC fixture against Arsenal. In comparison, Stoke City supporters are being charged just £32 for their equivalent fixture against Arsenal. What is clear, is that supporters of all clubs are being ripped off. Categorising football matches, however, means that some are being ripped off more than others.

On Saturday morning, before Liverpool's home game with Wigan Athletic, Spirit of Shankly hosted a very well attended meeting at the Sandon Pub - where the Liverpool Supporters' Union was founded almost five years ago. The central focus of the meeting was a panel debate and members' discussion around the ever increasing price of match tickets, particularly certain away fixtures. Joining the Union's Jay McKenna on the platform were Bob Humphries and Les Wright from the Liverpool Supporters' Committee.
