Anfield is the new larger capacity from this coming season, so shouldn't be any less tickets.
The new ST prices are the same prices as the walk up for last season, so theyre no more than the people who didn't already have an ST, were willing to pay to watch the match anyway. And now the quality of the opponents should be better. Would you rather have paid £30 to watch MK Dons last season or £30 to watch Arsenal et al next season?
Think I know the answer to that one.
And certainly, existing prices will go up next season, but no reason for them to jump £200. I cant see that happening, I can the existing (last season) going up, the new early birds going up, and the new £570 staying the same (assuming prem football the following year) and they can claim a freeze on the new price, and long term fans will increase over 1-2 years making it more difficult to argue with.
For those wanting an ST for next year, they could have paid the early bird £461, the option was there.
You pay your money you make your choice... (whatever the phrase is)
Personally, I wouldn't have paid the new prices for next year, even with the guarantee of PL football. Too much for me, but not too much for 2,000 people who have already paid it - and likely more to come. I was happy to pay the £461 and take the gamble on PL or Championship.
What would people say if there was an option to increase existing ST renewal by £70 at early bird and reduce the new cost of ST by £70? Making it £470 vs £500. Fund the new people etc
