A parliamentarian claims that an independent organizer should play a role in setting up football tickets because flight games are often very expensive for the working class fans to be present.
“The reality is that prices are very high, especially for younger fans,” Labor player Ian Bayern, who represents Liverpool West Derby, told MPs.
“I have witnessed thousands of working class supporters, young people who were valuable outside Anfield, some tickets were walking at more than £1,000,” Bayern said, referring to Liverpool’s 20th main title on Sunday.
Media and Sports Department (DCMS) and the Premier League are all contacted for more information.
“We must fight the price of the working class supporters,” Bayern, who spoke during a debate on the second reading of the football governance bill, said.
“For 2025-26, most of the prices are in Premier League clubs, but only after joint efforts and coordinated groups led by the Football Support Association,” he said.
Bern told MPs that he was concerned that some of the main clubs would reduce the number of available seasonal tickets.
The FSA spokesman said it was a hidden way for clubs to take high prices for the biggest games.
Under the bill, the independent football coordinator (IFR) will be created to supervise the clubs in the five main men’s ranks, ensuring their survival, preserving clubs’ inheritance, and facilitating better fans’ participation.
Bayern has called on Minister of Media and Sports Lisa Nandi to take two amendments into account.
First, he said he wanted to participate in the ticket prices, and submit updates in the seasonal football report.
The goal is to make sure fans have a real contribution to their ticket policy through the contribution of structure.
Second, Bayern said the IFR should review the price of privileges across the game to make sure that loyal fans of all ages do not value their sport. He said continuous progress report should be provided again.
“We cannot allow some employers to greed without any idea how important the working class’s game is for societies that must always serve.
Liverpool have claimed that it has tied the frozen price for the past 10 years.
The cheapest ticket kop is still £39, while the most expensive ticket remains for £4
The Premier League refused to comment.
