Liverpool set to hike ticket prices for visiting Barcelona fans

Liverpool have hit back at Barcelona’s decision to charge £103 per ticket for the Champions League semi-final first leg at the Nou Camp by hiking prices for the return game at Anfield.

In a move similar to that of Manchester United, the club will charge visiting Barcelona supporters £119 and use the extra revenue to subsidise ticket costs for their own fans travelling to the first leg.

Liverpool have been granted 4,620 away tickets for the game at the Nou Camp on May 1, with each costing €119. The subsidised cost will be €88 (£76).

“All away tickets are priced at €119, which is in line with Barcelona’s pricing structure for the knockout stages of this season’s Champions League,” a Liverpool FC club statement said.

“As a result, LFC will charge Barcelona supporters a reciprocal ticket price of €119 in the return leg at Anfield on Tuesday, May 7.

“The additional revenue from this higher ticket pricing will be used to subsidise Liverpool supporters for their tickets, reducing the price by €31 to €88.”
