Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan has defended the club’s recent ticket price rises. In an open letter to supporters on Friday, Hogan outlined in detail the reasons for owners Fenway Sports Group’s decision to implement a 3% inflationary raise.

Liverpool Football Club fully respects the right of supporters to protest and we acknowledge those supporters who are opposed to this approach. “No one at Liverpool Football Club takes decisions on ticket pricing lightly.

“The landscape around us is relentlessly competitive, and many costs that are rising across the club and the industry are outside of our control.” He added: “We will continue to listen, engage and work with our Supporters Board to ensure supporters’ voices are heard, while making decisions that allow the club to operate sustainably and competitively. “Every decision the club’s leadership makes is taken in what we believe are the best long-term interests of running a sustainable and successful football club, while competing at the highest levels.”
