(Reuters) - Liverpool will nudge up the price of its season tickets next season for the first time in eight years due to rising costs, the Premier League side said on Tuesday, in a decision the club's Supporters Board called 'cruel and unjust'.

The club will continue to freeze prices for juniors and the local general sale, which will remain at nine pounds per ticket, and it said no more than 17 pounds will be added to the price of season tickets. The LFC Supporters Board called the price increase"cruel, unjust, unreasonable and unfair" amid a cost-of-living crisis in Britain, where annual inflation remains above 10%.
The Supporters Board said it had proposed alternatives such as sponsorship deals and stand-naming rights to generate revenue equivalent to the 2% price increase.
