Depends on the score at the 77th minute

Totally agree with the sentiment behind it, £77 is daylight robbery.

Not sure it will do any good though

What happens if it's 0-0 and you get a penalty at 76 minutes and 30 seconds, will they still leave?

£77 is a complete joke to be fair.

TV money up, sponsorship up, shirt deal up, ground is increasing next season and we're midtable...... so they think it's okay to put it up to £77.

Not sure they've thought it through really.

Just pay up you mine bags.

Fans have driven this ultimately.

They want to retain the best players and sign the best. It is way the game is going, they possibly hope for less ST uptake and more corporate seats where they can make real money per seat. It will become a spectacle you attend once a year soon.

I won't be walking out on Saturday!

Yes to charge £77 for a ticket is excessive but it's only a few tickets! They've frozen 65% of season ticket prices and 45% of match day tickets and though there are £77 tickets in the new main stand there will reductions for young fans!

Nobody is forcing anyone to buy those tickets ffs!

Everyone wants a team full of great players (which admittedly we don't have) they cost ££££££ and we've certainly spent enough on 5h1te and everyone wants the new shiny stands but no one wants to pay for it!

It's will probably be 1-1 in the 77th min

It is a joke. They spoke this week about turning fans into customers. I am not sure a walkout would benefit anything. A boycott to one game would be better and more damaging for the owners. The sponsors don't like bad publicity.

To help fund the ground improvements?

Pay up you tight bastaards.

Fans need to start getting serious.

Mass Boycotts are the only thing that will lead to reduced prices.

There is no justification for prices being so high across the board.

Waking out after you have already paid is just pointless.

Apart from ST holders someone will have that seat at Anfield. Will ST holders boycott a game?

The justification is supply and demand, they have a supply smaller than demand so can do this

Fans won't do anything about it unless it's a joint effort by all fans. The sporadic protests won't help. It needs to be a movement, which I can't see happening.

I don't believe the demand is that much greater than the supply in most cases.

It's just an excuse.

With income rising all the time and match day income becoming an increasingly small part of overall turnover, there is absolutely no need to keep increasing prices.

Idiots defending it are part of the problem.

I'm sure at Liverpool demand outstrips supply.

It's not right, but neither is making summer holidays more expensive during the school holidays.

Supply and demand is just an excuse for greed.

It's not a justification for anyone with any sense of responsible capitalism.

£77 is a fair chunk BUT I'd still pay it to go with my son.
