Liverpool Fans Hold Yellow Cards at Anfield to Protest Multi‑Year Ticket Price Rises

The display signals a widening rift over a three-year, inflation-linked pricing plan.

Overview

  • Supporters held up yellow cards in the 13th minute of the Crystal Palace match to object to rising ticket prices and directed chants at the club’s owners.
  • Fan groups said the timing marked a possible 13% total rise over three seasons under a plan that links general admission prices to inflation.
  • Organisers including Spirit of Shankly, Spion Kop 1906, Kop Outs, cultuRED and the LFC Women’s Supporters Club coordinated the action and distributed about 75,000 cards around Anfield.
  • Liverpool said it remains open to talks, noted prices are tied to inflation, and stated adult general admission season tickets would go up by no more than £1.42 per match as operating costs have risen 85%.
  • Saturday’s display followed earlier protests such as a concourse spending boycott during a Champions League game, with some former players like Jamie Carragher publicly backing the campaign.
