Liverpool and Manchester City fans stood in solidarity ahead of Sunday’s Premier League fixture to protest against the spiraling cost of ticket prices in the English top flight.

Of the 20 Premier League clubs, only Crystal Palace opted against raising the cost of tickets ahead of this season, with the removal of concessions, inability to purchase season tickets and burgeoning number of commercial seats a cause of concern for loyal supporters across the Premier League who feel they are being priced out.

Protests have been widespread throughout the campaign, including ahead of the fixture between Liverpool and City at Anfield in December.

That same banner was brought into the ground and the message held aloft ahead of the game, stretching across the home and away sections in a continuing sign of solidarity for the rival fans.

It comes in a week when Liverpool supporters were informed that ticket costs will not rise ahead of the 2025/26 season following consultation between the club and supporters’ groups.

While Liverpool fans have had their concerns recognized, the same can’t be said for City supporters, with the club failing to engage with fan groups over several months

“Join us on Sunday and repay the favour from when Scousers stood with us when we travelled to Anfield in December to hold the same banner, in solidarity with supporters across the country.”

Earlier this month, City Matters penned an open letter to chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak calling for a freeze on ticket prices and the restoration of regular season tickets, while adding that fans are being ‘priced out of supporting their side’.

“By making it practically impossible to obtain a standard season ticket, ticketing policy decision makers at Manchester City are severing the generational link between fans and their club,” the group wrote.
