Liverpool to match Barcelona's ticket prices and subsidise supporters
After Barcelona announced Liverpool fans will be charged 119 euros for their Champions League semi-final tie at Camp Nou, the Reds have followed suit
Liverpool have decided to reciprocate Barcelona's decision to charge away fans €119 for their Champions League semi-final tie and will use the extra funds to subsidise travelling supporters.
High prices
Barcelona confirmed tickets for away fans at Camp Nou will continued to be priced at 119 euros after doing so throughout the competition this season, with Liverpool visiting on 1 May. However, as a result, Barça fans will be charged the same amount by Liverpool when they travel to Anfield for the return leg six days later.
Travelling supporters given a helping hand
In doing so, Liverpool will use the additional funds brought in from increasing the cost of Barca's tickets to bring down the price for their travelling support. As such, Liverpool will charge their fans €88 for the trip to Camp Nou.
Manchester United did similar during the quarter-finals.
