So how do I get tickets for a Liverpool home game??

Well, that one is easy! There are two ways - one, pay for a hospitality package or two, become an official member of the Liverpool Supporters Club. There is no way to buy away game tickets through the club (these are allocated to supporters who attend a certain number of games each year and are well out of the reach of out-of-town supporters).

Hospitality

There’s no need to be an LFC member to buy hospitality packages, you just need to be rich! Packages come in many shapes and sizes but all end up with tickets to the game. Some start in Liverpool hotels and you’re then bused to Anfield (cheapest) other are based in the restaurants or bars inside Anfield (more expensive). Seats can be anywhere in the stadium.

LFC Member

You can buy membership from the LFC web site LFC Membership.

Once you are a member you’ll have two opportunities to join the ticket ballot. Generally these come out in mid summer for games in the first half of the season and early winter for tickets for the second half of the season. There is a third way, but you’ll generally need to be in Liverpool to take advantage of it.

1. All members can join the general ballot for tickets LFC Tickets. You will join the ticket queue on the web site and wait in line and hope that you get to the front of the queue before they sell out. It’s hit-and-miss and there are far more people looking for tickets than Anfield can possibly hold. Every time you see these ballots it’ll be quickly followed by complaints of waiting in line for hours stuck in position 123,000 and never reaching the front of the queue, but that’s the price of following a team with fervent and enthusiastic supporters! However, try your luck, thousands of people are lucky for every game.

2. Enter a ticket ballot through an Official Liverpool Supports Club (OLSC). And it just so happens that LFC Denver is one of these! We can apply for six tickets for up to five games each half season. Historically our seats have been on the Kop and we’re lucky more times than we’re not (it runs about 60% success rate), but no guarantee. We will let everyone who has tagged themselves as Interested in Anfield tickets in our mailing list before the window opens. However, if you apply for tickets you must be able to attend the game as it counts against our LFC Denver allocation if people request tickets and don’t take up the offer. Please don’t say you want tickets for every game, as you’ll have to buy them and fly from Denver to London and travel by train to Liverpool multiple times in a season! You must also live in Colorado as tickets are limited by the club to supporters in the geographic area that the OLSC represents.

   Ticket requests for the first half of the season are normally released in August and in December for the second half. There is NO WAY for us to get tickets outside these two ballot window, so don’t bother to e-mail us in February asking for tickets for a game in May!

3. The third way is through Ticket Forwarding or Exchange, where you can buy tickets from fans who want to sell their tickets Ticket Exchange. The rules are pretty restrictive so don’t hold your breath, plus your ticket HAS to be sold through the club.

Buying anything from the third-party market (StubHub, etc.) is the Wild West: technically illegal and therefore sketchy and not guaranteed. To quote another footie web site - Quite simply, seeing a game at Anfield has become the most sought-after – and therefore expensive — experience in world club soccer. And since it’s only a 60,000-seat stadium, getting a ticket there has become really, really hard.

We had Denver fans watching a mid-week game at an Anfield pub who were talking to four non-Denver fans who bought their tickets through the third-party market. It turned out two of the four ended up back at the pub as their tickets were invalid. There’s no way to check your ticket validity before you try to get into the stadium. Let’s say it again, you’ve been warned!
