Boost for Liverpool fans as ticket prices are dropped

Liverpool fans have received a boost ahead of their Champions League quarter-final tie with Porto after their Portuguese hosts agreed to drop ticket prices for visiting Reds supporters.

Jurgen Klopp's side play the first leg at Anfield on April 9 before travelling to the Estadio do Dragao eight days later on April 17.

Porto – who charged Liverpool fans €75 per ticket for their home leg in the last 16 of the same competition last season – had been expected to charge €85 this time around in keeping with non-members prices.

The five questions Liverpool must answer as Champions League and Premier League enters home straight  

However, following negotiations between the clubs, they have agreed to reduce the price to €60 per ticket (approximately £52:10 at current exchange rates).

Liverpool thanked Porto for their co-operation on the matter through a club statement which read: "LFC would like to thank FC Porto for working with the club on a pricing structure.

"Fellow Champions League clubs are also continuing to work with UEFA to negotiate the fairest ticket prices for their fans throughout the competition.

"The dialogue regarding a price cap on tickets for away fans will also continue. Until such a cap is agreed, LFC will continue to work with the opposition and UEFA to discuss the most reasonable ways of reducing costs for travelling supporters."
