The Premier League champion faced severe backlash from fans who accused the club of greed. Supporters refused to spend money on drinks and food at Anfield Stadium as protest.
Thousands of fans held up yellow cards during the game against Crystal Palace with the message: "Caution: Anfield's Soul at Risk."
The unrest led to a reversal of the original price hike plan. There will now be an inflationary rise next season, with prices frozen the following year.
Fans Demand Change
Price hikes were announced in March, sparking outrage among supporters. Fan group Spirit of Shankly said: "We should not be conned into thinking it is normal for prices to go up each season. This is a choice LFC are making and one that is driven by greed."
While fans acknowledged the success achieved under FSG—including two Premier League titles and the Champions League—they said the increases were "tone-deaf and worrying."
The club warned that without wider progress on alternative solutions, future inflationary increases may still be required.
