Anfield Tickets

There are a handful of stadiums in the world that have a truly frenetic atmosphere - Anfield is one of those lucky few. Anfield stadium is located around two miles north of the heart of Liverpool, and is the home turf for Liverpool Football Club. With a capacity of 54,000, Anfield is one of the biggest stadiums in the United Kingdom. Thanks to a dedicated following of Liverpool fans, though, tickets are known to sell out regularly to fixtures. Anfield is divided into four stands: the Centenary stand, Anfield road end, the main stand and the Kop. The Kop is the most popular section, and is known for its incredible atmosphere. The thousands of fans singing sporadically and swaying in unison with their waving Liverpool flags makes for quite the spectacle.

Anfield’s History

Anfield stadium was first built in 1884, but it was not Liverpool F.C’s home ground until 1892. Initially, local rivals Everton F.C rented the newly built stadium, but moved out in 1891 over a rent dispute. The newly created Liverpool F.C swooped in a year later, winning their first match at Anfield against Rotherham, in a triumphant 7-1 victory. One of the strongest traits of Anfield and Liverpool F.C is their passionate dedication. A prime example of this diehard mentality is in their famous Kop Stand. In 1895, the Spion Kop stand was constructed, which later grew to be one of the most famous stands in the world. Known for its intense atmosphere and booming fans, the Kop stand is where Liverpool fans are at their most dedicated. There are three other stands in Anfield: the Centenary Stand, Anfield Road End and Main Stand. There have been many high profile matches and tournaments held at Anfield. In all, it has been host to six internationals and hosted the best football clubs in the world, such as Juventus, A.C Milan and Barcelona.

The Hillsborough Disaster

Unfortunately, not all of the memories at Anfield are happy ones. There is one particular tragedy that will never be forgotten by Liverpudlians  - The Hillsborough Disaster. During a sold out match in 1989, a lack of coordination led to a human crush that caused 96 fatalities and left hundreds injured. To this day, the Hillsborough disaster is the worst disaster in British sporting history, as well as the worst recorded football disaster in the world.

The Reds

Anfield is home to Liverpool F.C, who have made the stadium their own fortress over the years. A large part of their success at home is their loyal fans, known as The Reds.
