In the season FSG acquired Liverpool, (2010/11) matchday revenue was £40.9m. Last season it was £115.6m, an increase of 183%.
Matchday revenue is average attendance x number of matches x average price. Fans have to pay VAT of 20% on top of the revenue earned by the Club too.
Taking this into account, the price paid by a fan have increased from £42.44 to £82.11, which is 93.5% during the time that CPI has increased by 49.6%.
Part of this will be due to an increase in the proportion of tickets sold to corporate/hospitality/member fans, but even so, is there justification in the increases in ticket prices to STH?
Liverpool's success in attracting fans from all over the world is partly due to the vibrancy, the passion and the legend of the Kop (similar to the Stretford End, Kippax, Gallowgate, Clock End etc at other clubs historically) and current owners FSG have benefited from that.
They are standing on the shoulders of giants, but they seem to see those fans as a historical inconvenience and now want those fans to either pay up or move on.

@BalzacBlazer@Tiff5757@LFC@spiritofshankly Ever think that a lot of people like myself are having to get back from work first and can’t get there any earlier? We arrive in plenty of time but the organisation is a shambles!!
@spiritofshankly Pointless exercise, people will only answer what is best for themselves.
No comment boxes either?
Would love to say just fuck off hospitality and get the real fans back in.
Been on the season ticket waiting list for 23 years now.
More soul music in the charts plz? 🥹✊🏽❤️
Song comes oot this Friday. Thanks to everyone who pre-saved!!! I’m blown away by the reaction to ‘How Can I Tell You? (To Love Me More)’ xxxx

Unbelievable night for the celebration of @LivZoesPlace and the launch of Little Lights charity. 🙌
Thanks to everyone who got a ticket, every artist who played, every host, every media outlet who got behind it, everyone working behind the scenes. And last but not least, thank you to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra & Sense of Sound choir for making it feel like live aid for all the artists on stage.
We’re a city that makes a difference each step at a time. I’m so proud to call this place home ❤️
The official music video for “Across the River” is out at 10am tomorrow on my YouTube channel.
A big thank you to James Nelson-Joyce, who agreed to get involved and star in the video. I think his performance encapsulates the meaning of the song perfectly. The video is a proper Scouse coming together. And for me it couldn’t be more authentic. All shot in Liverpool. ✊
The song itself will be out at midnight tonight across all major music streaming platforms - make sure you give it a listen. 😎🙌
Always thought the show should be allowed to speak for itself - but to mark the 20th anniversary of its return I agreed to be interviewed for the Dr Who Magazine Special Edition. Proud of the part I played in bringing it back to its rightful home on BBC1 @bbcdoctorwho
“Weekend in Paradise” is 5 years old today. 🤯
The song that changed my life. Where did the time go? My waistline has doubled, my hair length has quadrupled and I've made hundreds of unbelievable memories with you all since the day it was born into the world. 🙌
I never thought I'd get out of Liverpool with my music but here I am, on the way from Antwerp to Amsterdam, on my 3rd European tour. Another UK tour around the corner, playing a couple of arenas in different cities, followed by a run of gigs in Australia. It really is true when they say time flies when you're having a good time.
And none of these good times would be possible without your support. Thank you for being there, thank you for living it with me. Thank you for having countless 3-day benders and seeing yourselves in the story of the tune. In my head, I'm just getting started. Here's to the next 5 years. Enjoy your first pint this Friday ✌️❤️✊
I’m sure by now everyone knows the situation with @ZoesPlaceLiv and we felt like we had to take action and do something to help.
Myself, @MilesKaneMusic, The Zutons, @RedRumClub, @TheRoystonClub and @FinnlayK have organised a gig at Hangar 34, with all proceeds going to Zoe’s Place. Tickets are on sale now, so make sure you grab one.
