Liverpool fans hold up yellow cards in protest at ticket price rises

Anfield witnessed a striking protest by Liverpool fans today during the team’s Premier League match against Crystal Palace, as supporters collectively raised yellow cards in the stands in a direct show of opposition to the club’s decision to raise ticket prices for future seasons.

A video documenting the moment the yellow cards were raised in the stands went viral on social media, in a striking scene carrying clear symbolic significance, as the stadium appeared to be covered in yellow during this unified protest, This was also documented in a tweet by the BBC Sport via its official account on platform x.

Liverpool fans chanted angry slogans during the protest, most notably:

You greedy bastards, enough is enough,

You greedy bastards, enough is enough.

This was a direct reference to their rejection of the new pricing policies adopted by the club’s management.

The protest was organised by fan groups, led by the club’s supporters’ associations, with thousands of yellow cards distributed before kick-off to be raised en masse in the 13th minute of the match.

Liverpool — ticket price rise sparked the protest

According to a report published by Liverpool FC on 26 March 2026, the club’s management had approved a new plan to gradually increase ticket prices, starting from next season, including annual increases linked to inflation rates.

The details indicate that the base increase is around 3% per year, with the possibility of rising to a ceiling of approximately 5% in some seasons, as part of a plan spanning several years.

The club’s management justifies this policy by citing rising operating costs at Anfield, alongside increased expenditure on wages and infrastructure in recent years.
