During the match against Crystal Palace, Liverpool fans transformed Anfield into a sea of yellow as they protested against Fenway Sports Group (FSG) for their decision to raise ticket prices. Supporters displayed yellow cards in the 13th minute, coordinated by various groups including Spirit of Shankly and the LFC Women's Supporters Club. Fans are particularly upset about the plan to increase general admission ticket prices annually over the next three seasons, which they argue is unprecedented and lacks proper consultation. Liverpool FC has defended the increases, stating they are necessary due to inflation and rising matchday operating costs, which have reportedly surged by 85%. The club insists communication channels with fans remain open. The protests are part of a broader campaign against the price hikes, which began earlier this month and included calls for fans to refrain from spending money inside the stadium. Manager Arne Slot commented on the situation, acknowledging the disagreements but emphasizing the importance of fan support. Former player Jamie Carragher also voiced his support for the protests, questioning the need for price increases given the club's significant sponsorship and revenue streams.
