Reds fans eager to see their team lift the Premier League title can now snag tickets for the trophy presentation at an eye-watering cost of £130,000 ($163,000).
In a stark contrast to last week’s show of solidarity between Liverpool and Manchester City supporters, who united to protest against clubs profiting off fan loyalty, third-party ticket sellers are cashing in on Liverpool’s potential triumph. High-end seats for Liverpool’s final season match are listed at a jaw-dropping £25,000 each ($31,000), but you’ll need to grab at least four as part of a luxury package that promises fine dining before they take on Crystal Palace.
These websites don’t stop there; they’re adding an extra £7,500 ($9,400) per ticket for service fees and taxes, totalling a whopping £130,000. Those splashing out will indulge in a three-course feast in Anfield’s Beautiful Game hospitality lounge within the Main Stand, enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks, mix with a Reds legend, and have prime views from Block M4, as reported by Mirror Football.
With a bold “150 percent” guarantee, these packages are promised as advertised. For those looking for a less extravagant option, the cheapest tickets start at £1,852.50 ($2,329.15) among Palace’s 3,000 away fans. Buying up to 10 tickets in one go is an option. However, through official channels, the same tickets are a mere £30 ($37.72), underscoring the extreme mark-up by resellers.
Liverpool is currently leading the Premier League by 13 points with just 10 matches remaining, and black market ticket prices are anticipated to continue climbing as they edge closer to victory. Fans will be eager to witness captain Virgil van Dijk hoist the trophy on the season’s final day.
When Liverpool clinched the championship in 2020, team captain Jordan Henderson led Jurgen Klopp’s squad to receive the Premier League trophy in an empty stadium due to pandemic-related restrictions. That marked Liverpool’s first title win in three decades.
If they secure the championship for a record-equalling 20th time, the Reds would match their rivals Manchester United. The showdown with Palace could also mark the final appearance of Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold for the club, as all three players’ contracts expire at the end of the season.
