“Liverpool aren’t fun to watch” – Journalist criticises club for ticket price increase

“Liverpool aren’t fun to watch” – Journalist criticises club for ticket price increase Liverpool Ticket Price Rise Sparks Concern Amid Mohamed Salah Exit Talk On the latest Media Matters episode from Anfield Index , the conversation between Dave Davis and Lewis Steele shifted sharply towards a controversial issue, Liverpool’s decision to increase ticket prices. Steele did not hold back when assessing the timing and wider impact. He referenced fan reaction and broader sentiment, stating that football is “starting to price fans out of it.

” That remark cuts to the core of the issue, particularly for Liverpool supporters already dealing with uncertainty on and off the pitch. The frustration is not isolated. Steele highlighted how matchgoing culture has changed, saying, “it feels different to how it did ten years ago… there’s more tourists,” before adding that clubs increasingly prefer fans who “spend three hundred quid in the club shop” over traditional supporters.

Timing criticised during turbulent period The discussion made clear that the decision has landed badly because of context. Liverpool are navigating a period of uncertainty, including the confirmed departure of Mohamed Salah , yet ticket prices are still rising. Steele was explicit about the optics, saying, “it’s timed badly putting those tickets up.

” He expanded on that point by contrasting current performances with expectations, noting, “Liverpool aren’t fun to watch this season. ” That combination of higher costs and lower satisfaction has amplified fan dissatisfaction. As Steele put it, “why would they pay their money to go and watch that crap every week?
