Jamie Carragher urges Liverpool owners to complete immediate U-turn after fan backlashLiverpool legend Jamie Carragher has called on FSG to reverse plans to raise ticket prices at Anfield over the next three years, dismissing the club's justification as 'absolute nonsense'CommentsSportPaul Gorst13:43, 18 Apr 2026View 3 Images(Image: Liverpool Echo)Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has called on club owners Fenway Sports Group to scrap proposals to increase ticket prices, insisting the financial gain is outweighed by the fan backlash.‌It was announced last month that the club were intending to raise the cost of tickets in line with inflation over the next three years with match-day running expenses said to have climbed by 85 per cent over the last decade at Anfield.‌Liverpool are using the UK's CPI (Customer Price Index) inflation from January of each year to establish the foundation of their pricing. Inflation projections for this calendar year stand at 2.3 per cent before falling to 2 per cent; representing a rise of 7.3 pre cent over the three-year timeframe. Consequently, general admission tickets will go up between £3 and £4.50 per match-day ticket throughout the three years.‌Opponents, however, have argued the figure of £1.2m, which Liverpool are expected to generate from the rise, is a negligible amount for a club whose annual turnover exceeded the £700m threshold for the first time in the most recent financial figures, which were released in February.READ MORE: David Moyes tells Arne Slot to stop moaning about referees ahead of crunch Merseyside derbyREAD MORE: 'He learnt from me!' - Ally McCoist in hysterics at Virgil van Dijk's ex-team-mate's claimProminent supporters' union, the Spirit of Shankly, coordinated demonstrations following the announcement, with a campaign not to spend any money inside Anfield itself put into action for last week's 2-0 victory over Fulham.
