Liverpool make HUGE announcement for next season after Arsenal defeat

It comes three days after the club's hopes of competing in the Champions League were all but dead in the water after a 4-1 defeat at the Emirates.

Liverpool, currently fifth, qualified for the Champions League for the first time since 2010 last season.

But having fallen seven points behind Manchester City in fourth place, with seven games to go, manager Brendan Rodgers admits they're unlikely to be back there next season.

The club today announced junior season tickets will reduce from £200 to £180 for the 2015-16 season while adult season tickets will remain at £710 to £869, depending on seat and location.

Ian Ayre, LFC's chief executive, said: "Our season ticket holders are extremely loyal to this football club and we are pleased to announce a reduction for our young fans and a price freeze on adult season tickets for next season.

"Every year we give careful consideration to season ticket prices and consult with the official LFC Supporters' Committee to ensure we understand the views of our fans and the areas that are important to them.

"The club had planned to slightly increase season ticket prices in line with inflation but after discussing the club's wider ticketing strategy with the Supporters' Committee ticketing working group we decided to freeze prices.

"Discussions are ongoing both in terms of other ticket prices for next season and importantly the wider issue of finding financially sustainable initiatives that increase accessibility and affordability of tickets at Anfield."
