Liverpool and West Ham Fans Unite in Ticket Price Protest #

Supporters of Liverpool and West Ham United are joining forces at Anfield on Wednesday night to protest against ticket prices and the removal of concessions for certain fan groups.

The demonstration, organized under the banner ‘Stop Exploiting Loyalty’, will take place outside the stadium before the Carabao Cup match. The protest aims to highlight concerns over the removal of concessions for seniors, youth, and disabled fans at West Ham this season.

West Ham supporters have been actively campaigning against these changes, releasing black balloons with slogans such as ‘Save our Concessions’ and ‘Stop Exploiting Loyalty’ during home games at the London Stadium. The campaign focuses on pressuring the club’s board to reverse their decision regarding concession removals.

The collaboration between the two fan groups is intended to send a strong message about fan unity in the face of what they perceive as unfair ticketing policies. Supporters argue that such changes exploit long-standing fan loyalty and are unjust.

There are concerns among fan groups about a broader trend in the Premier League, with claims of a collective pushback on concessions and rising ticket prices across multiple clubs. Supporters are calling for resistance to this trend, emphasizing that football belongs to the people and that fans deserve fairness and respect.

In addition to the matchday protests, supporters have launched a petition that has garnered significant support, demonstrating the widespread concern over these issues.

The unity between Liverpool and West Ham supporters in this protest highlights the growing discontent among football fans regarding ticket pricing and accessibility, particularly for senior, youth, and disabled supporters.
