How Long Is the Waiting List for a Liverpool Season Ticket?

Written by Chris Goodacre

Premier League football club Liverpool FC have a rich history having won 20 league titles, 6 European Cups, 8 FA Cups, 10 League Cups and 16 Community Shields. Supporting a club as successful as this one can often mean that it is difficult to buy matchday tickets and, in particular, season tickets.

The waiting list for season tickets varies greatly by club, and is based on several factors including the size of each team’s stadium, the popularity of the club, the number of current season ticket holders and the current performance of a team.

The reality is that some clubs are now charging a high price to buy season tickets, in some cases more than $4,078, which is pricing out some fans.

In this article, we look at how long the waiting list is for a Liverpool season ticket. We explore how you can potentially purchase one, how long you might be expected to wait, the cost of a season ticket and the benefits of being a proud owner of one. If you’re a Liverpool fan, we recommend reading on to find out!

Liverpool Season Ticket Waiting List

There has been an incredibly long Liverpool season ticket waiting list in place for over two decades, with reports claiming that loyal fans have waited 27 years before being able to buy one.

The most recent expansion of Anfield’s capacity, an extension of the Anfield Road End stand, meant that 1,000 fans on the waiting list were able to buy a season ticket ahead of the 2023/24 Premier League season. This number would’ve barely scratched the surface of the total number of fans on the list, though, and this is a number that hasn’t been disclosed by the club.

How Do I Purchase a Liverpool Season Ticket?

Although being able to purchase a Liverpool season ticket can take an incredibly long time, the actual process of purchasing one is relatively straightforward. You simply need to join Liverpool’s season ticket waiting list when it is open. From here you’ll have to wait until you are next in the queue to buy a season ticket.

The bad news is that, ahead of 2026/27, if you’re not currently on the waiting list, it’s currently closed to new fans, and there is no official figure of the number of fans currently waiting. This situation has not changed since 2011, while the secrecy is typical of most Premier League football teams.

All we know is that the list is chronological, rewarding the most loyal fans who have been waiting the longest, and every summer there is a story of a lucky Liverpool fan being offered a season ticket after decades of waiting.

Essentially, your chances of being able to purchase a Liverpool season ticket rest on the number of new season tickets made available by the club and the number of fans waiting on the list.

Our best advice is to keep checking the official Liverpool Season Ticket FAQ’s page to see when the Liverpool season ticket waiting list reopens and add your name to it as soon as possible. That way, you’ll have the best chances of reducing the amount of time you’ll have to wait before being able to buy a season ticket.

How Much Will a Liverpool Season Ticket Cost?

For an adult, a Liverpool season ticket will cost you anywhere between $998 and $1,266 for the 2026/27 Premier League season. LFC announced on 26 March 2026 a three-season inflation-linked pricing model, capped at 5% per year, starting at 3% for 2026/27.

Previously, prices for 2025/26 were frozen from 2024/25, following a two per cent price rise in the summer of 2024. At that time, the rise was the first in 9 years.

This puts Liverpool around mid-table when comparing the price of the most expensive season tickets.

Checking Premier League ticket prices by club, out of the so-called “Big 6 clubs” Liverpool offer season tickets at a cheaper price than Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal. However, on average, they are a little more expensive than Manchester United and Manchester City.

Although the cheapest option for an adult comes in at $998, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be paying this price, as it’ll depend on what season tickets become available in which stand of Anfield stadium.

2026/27 Liverpool Season Ticket Prices in Focus

Season	Lowest adult	Highest adult
2021/22	$571	$775
2022/23	$632	$850
2023/24	$632	$938
2024/25	$754	$938
2025/26	$870	$1,223
2026/27	$870	$1,312

Important Context:

Liverpool froze ticket prices for 8 of the previous 10 seasons before recent increases
The first increase in 9 years came in 2023/24
Another 2% rise followed in 2024/25 due to rising operating costs Prices were frozen again for 2025/26, before switching to a CPI-linked model from 2026/27 onward

Liverpool Season Ticket Price Progression (Last 5 Seasons)

Season	Low	High	Change	Context
2022/23	$931	$1,183	Frozen	Long-standing price freeze era
2023/24	$950	$1,206	↑ 2%	First rise in 9 years
2024/25	$969	$1,229	↑ 2%	Cost-driven increase
2025/26	$969	$1,229	Frozen	One-season pause
2026/27	$998	$1,266	↑ ~3% (CPI-linked)	Inflation-linked model begins

Next we’ll show what the change in price since 2022 looks like against the rate of inflation.

Liverpool season ticket price comparison (inflation-adjusted)

Price band	2022 (nominal)	2022 (inflation-adjusted)	2026/27 actual	Real-terms difference vs 2022
Low	$931	$1,077	$998	$79 (7.3%)
High	$1,183	$1,368	$1,266	$102 (7.5%)

Context:

In real terms, Liverpool season tickets in 2026/27 are still cheaper than their 2022 equivalent when adjusted for inflation, despite recent price rises.
This largely reflects the club’s long price freeze. Tickets were effectively held flat for much of the 2010s and early 2020s (with only very limited increases, including a long freeze from 2016 to 2023).
The newer CPI-linked pricing model has begun to close that gap, but prices have not yet caught up with inflation over the period.

Benefits of Owning a Liverpool Season Ticket

So you’ve had a Liverpool membership for years, and you’ve finally received the email to say you're next in the queue to buy a Liverpool season ticket, we imagine you’re probably wondering what kind of benefits you’ll receive from owning one. We’ll lay out the basics now:

A season ticket guarantees access to Liverpool’s 19 Premier League home games
Season-ticket holders also have access to official Ticket Forwarding and Ticket Exchange options if they cannot attend a match

Note that cup tickets are handled separately through the Auto Cup Scheme. That scheme is available only to qualifying season-ticket holders, Priority Right Holders and All Red Members, with eligibility criteria set by competition

Also, Liverpool away tickets are sold on a match credits basis. So, unlike with many Premier League clubs, owning a season ticket does not guarantee priority over ordinary Liverpool members.

Anfield Road End Expansion

As explained earlier, the chances of securing a Liverpool season ticket rest on the number of available seats at Anfield, and from 2021 to the start of the 2024/25 Premier League season, Anfield underwent an expansion.

Liverpool rolled out work to add 7,000 more seats to its famous ‘Anfield Road End’ stand, taking its capacity to 15,967. This has taken the overall capacity of Anfield to 61,276, making it one of the largest Premier League stadiums in England behind Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United:

Rank	Club	Stadium	Capacity
1	Manchester United	Old Trafford	74,310
2	Tottenham Hotspur	Tottenham Hotspur Stadium	62,850
3	West Ham United	London Stadium	62,500
4	Liverpool	Anfield	61,276

By expanding their capacity, Liverpool were able to free up 1000 new season tickets before the 2023/24 season, the most dramatic change in the waiting list since the Main Stand was redeveloped in the 2010s.

Back in summer 2023, this sudden change to the Anfield seating plan and increase in availability led to a flurry of stories about the LFC season ticket waiting list.

While the extra seats helped some waiting-list supporters, the club has not announced any further capacity expansion. In fact, the Anfield Road increase was the maximum achievable under stadium design, safety and comfort standards.
