Liverpool announce price increaseFans protest against decisionReds stand by their initial call WHAT HAPPENED?
The Reds confirmed that the two per cent increase on ticket prices for next season will not be reversed, although changes will be made to the way the club communicate with fans. Liverpool supporters had previously voiced concerns regarding the increase to all matchday tickets, which led to a meeting between the club and the Supporters Board over the last few days.

An official statement from the club regarding the matter read: "Today, representatives from LFC and the Supporters Board met to discuss engagement processes and the recent two per cent ticket price rise announced for general admission and matchday tickets.
"LFC confirmed that its decision on the two per cent rise will not be reversed. LFC has agreed to review and improve its engagement approach in collaboration with the Supporters Board as it was acknowledged by both parties that more meaningful engagement over ticket prices is required.
"Membership prices were on the agenda for discussion during the meeting. LFC had proposed a small rise for next season but both parties have agreed to pause on this until more meaningful engagement can take place between LFC and the Supporters Board."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Despite general admission and match-day ticket prices increasing, the two parties agreed that membership fees would not increase until more 'meaningful engagement' can take place between Liverpool and the Supporters Board. Protests were conducted during the recent loss to Atalanta last Thursday in reference to the price increases, as no flags were held up across Anfield by supporters groups.
