Liverpool have confirmed that tonight’s FA Cup fourth-round replay against Shrewsbury Town has sold out.
Tickets for the game were available at the reduced rate of £15 for adults, £5 for young adults and £1 for kids.
The move came after Reds boss Jurgen Klopp confirmed that neither he nor any of his first team stars would be participating in the tie, insisting that his side would respect their winter break instead.
"Since Sunday’s result, we have been in discussions with Shrewsbury Town on the price points for next week’s replay at Anfield," Liverpool said in a statement released following the confirmation of prices.

“We have also been in discussions with supporters groups as part of our regular fan forum process
"The feedback from supporters is to create a pricing structure that’s fair and, in particular, focused on young people.
"The prices have been set at a flat rate of £15 for adults, £5 for young adults and just £1 for kids
"Shrewsbury Town and our supporters groups who we’ve been working with are in agreement that these prices are fair for this FA Cup replay. We thank both Shrewsbury Town, supporters groups and other supporters for their input into these discussions."
Town boss Sam Ricketts has since expressed his disappointment, believing the Liverpool squad call and pricing could cost his side in the region of £500,000.
“It is huge. The revenue is vitally important for a club like ours who are self-sustaining,” the Salop boss replied when asked about the potential impact.
“For someone like us if we are playing Liverpool’s first team you are generating up to £600,000 as opposed to £100,000.
“At a club like ours every penny counts. That is the biggest disappointment that we will lack revenue.”
Both clubs split the ticket revenues 45 per cent each with the FA taking the remaining 10 percent, with Shrewsbury now expecting to make between £100,000 and £150,000.
The winner of tonight's clash will go on to face Chelsea away in the next round.
