Liverpool FC Ticket Holders Affected by Anfield Road End Expansion Delay
Liverpool Football Club (LFC) has confirmed that the expansion of the Anfield Road End will not be completed until 2024, leaving ticket-holding supporters affected for upcoming matches. The announcement came earlier this month, with further delays to the development of the new stand.
Ticket Exchange Platform for Affected Supporters
In response to the delay, LFC has asked fans to return tickets to the club if they are unable to attend the Merseyside derby and the next six home league fixtures. These fixtures include Nottingham Forest (Oct 29), Brentford (Nov 12), Fulham (Dec 3), Man United (Dec 16), Arsenal (Dec 23) and Newcastle (Dec 30).
Those who still have tickets to these games are encouraged to return them to the club using the Ticket Exchange platform on the official website if they are unable to attend. Tickets returned in this manner will be refunded in full and the match credit will be kept.
Full Capacity Crowd Expected for Domestic Cup Clashes
LFC hopes that Anfield will be able to welcome a full-capacity crowd of 61,000 in time for any potential domestic cup clashes that the Reds may face at the beginning of January. A home draw in the third round of the FA Cup could be the first game in front of the completed stand on January 6/7, or a possible League Cup semi-final on either January 9/10 or 23/24 should the Reds progress that far.
The first league game to be staged at an expanded Anfield is set to be Chelsea‘s visit at the end of January, a whole month after Newcastle‘s visit just before New Year.
Conclusion
The delay of the Anfield Road End expansion is unfortunate news for ticket-holding supporters, but LFC has taken steps to ensure those affected are still able to enjoy their matchday experience. The Ticket Exchange platform allows fans to return their tickets and receive a full refund, while those who do attend will be able to experience a full-capacity crowd for any domestic cup clashes in January.
