Liverpool supporters' group Spirit of Shankly have urged fans to take a stand over the club's decision to hike ticket prices for the next three seasons.

The Reds confirmed the price increases a fortnight ago, sparking a wave of anger amongst supporters, particularly given Liverpool posted record revenues earlier this year.

The club intends to raise prices in line with the CPI annual inflation rate, up to a maximum of five per cent. This includes adult general admission tickets rising by between £1.25 and £1.75 per person, per matchday, alongside adult season tickets going up by between £21.50 and £27 next season. That works out at a maximum increase of £1.42 per match.

A number of concessions were made by the club, including a price freeze for senior, local, and junior tickets. It is also worth noting that every ticket price bracket remains cheaper than local rivals Everton , while Liverpool's cost increases are considerably lower than those of its top Premier League rivals over the past decade, reports Liverpool.com .

However, SoS are pushing for further changes, as outlined in a statement released on Easter Monday. "Supporters are angry. And they have every right to be," the official Supporters' Trust said. " Liverpool FC has chosen to ignore clear, overwhelming opposition from its own supporters and push ahead with plans to increase ticket prices for the next three seasons.

"The open meeting online, the survey, and countless conversations all point to the same thing: fans do not accept this decision. And if the club's owners won't listen, then we make them. This is no longer about consultation. That opportunity has been and gone. This is about action."

SoS confirmed that the club has been notified that demonstrations will take place. Further details are yet to be revealed, but some form of protest is planned for this weekend's home fixture against Fulham .

The organisation has also launched its "Not a pound in the ground" campaign, urging supporters, wherever possible, to refrain from spending money inside Anfield.

"Spend your money with local, independent businesses around Anfield instead," wrote SoS. "This is a small act, but if enough people do it, it sends a clear message. Supporters have also suggested delaying season ticket renewals until close to the deadline. We support that."

The club defended its price hikes by pointing to its longstanding pledge to freeze ticket costs under FSG's ownership, while highlighting the rise in matchday operating and utility expenses, as well as business rates.

However, SoS hit back in its statement, reaffirming its position that those choices lie firmly with the ownership, while making clear the protests are not solely for the benefit of Liverpool supporters but are relevant to every other Premier League club. "At the end of these three years, it would be a fifth increase in six seasons. Tickets heading towards £70. Season tickets beyond £1,000," they wrote.

"This isn't just about price. It's about direction. It's about what kind of football club Liverpool chooses to be. One rooted in its people, or one that sees them as a revenue stream to be pushed year after year. Future supporters will live with the consequences of what happens now."
