Liverpool have hiked prices of season tickets by seven per cent, meaning the lowest cost of a standard adult season ticket at Anfield for the 2010-11 season is now £680, and it is only that low if booked via the internet.
An adult ticket in the main stand is £732 and the priciest ticket costs £785.
The club's fans, already unhappy with the unfullfilled promises, levels of debt and unreasonable asking price for the for-sale club from the unpopular American owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks, are sure to have their unrest fuelled at the new developments.
A new survey also done by SportingIntelligence now puts Liverpool second, behind only Arsenal (where the cheapest season ticket is £893), in the table for most expensive Premier League season tickets.
The Gunners' standard season ticket does cover 26 games, however, as opposed to most clubs providing just the 19 home league games.
A club spokesperson for Liverpool told SportingIntelligence: “Prices remain extraordinarily competitive, particularly compared with other clubs in the top half of the table.”
After Arsenal and Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham United have the next most expensive 'entry level' prices, followed by Chelsea, and then, somewhat surprisingly, Wolverhampton Wanderers, ahead of Manchester United.
At the other end, the best value standard adult season ticket in the Premier League next season can be held at Blackburn Rovers, for a surprisingly reasonable £224, followed by Wigan Athletic (£250).
