Liverpool have today announced further details of initiatives that will aim to bring more young and local supporters into Anfield next season.
The plans were made in response to feedback from the club’s Supporters’ Committee and were first announced in February with further details confirmed today.
The club’s £9 ticket initiative is open to all supporters with an L postcode. Tickets will go on sale online around four weeks before a Premier League game, with each fan able to purchase one ticket per person.
These £9 tickets will also be available to supporters with an L postcode for cup matches.
To be eligible to purchase tickets during these sales, fans must be registered on the club’s ticketing database.
Members with an L postcode who do not purchase during the Official Members’ ticket sales in July and November will have a further opportunity to purchase tickets for Premier League games.
10,000 full-price tickets per season will be sold online separately on a game-by-game basis around six weeks before a match, with supporters being able to purchase one ticket each.
The club’s young adult concession will see supporters aged 17-21 (by August 1, 2016) receive a 50 per cent reduction on full-price Premier League match tickets. 20,000 tickets will be made available across the Premier League season to ensure young people have improved access to Anfield.
Headteachers of 25 schools across Liverpool have been invited to work with the club on ways they can distribute 44 tickets each season to incentivise their students. This means a total of 1,100 tickets will be given away to local schoolchildren across the Premier League season.
