Liverpool fans learn staggering price of prime seats for Klopp Anfield farewell

Liverpool fans are being offered the chance to sit right behind Jurgen Klopp for his final game at Anfield - if they are willing to splash out a bank-busting £25,000 for the privilege.

Prime tickets for Klopp’s emotional final bow in front of the Kop are already fetching a whopping £18,000 on one black market website - and with VAT and a hefty service fee lumped on top, the final bill comes to £24,480.

‌The seats are in Block L5 at the front of Anfield’s towering Main Stand, which are situated just behind the dugout. They are arguably the best in the house - but are sold by Liverpool for a face value of just £60. That means the resale website will bank a 40,700 percent profit.

‌There are cheaper resale seats available for the game against Wolves on May 19 - but they are all commanding fees close to £2,000 before tax and booking charges are added on.

‌Tickets for Sir Alex Ferguson ’s final game in charge of Manchester United at West Brom in 2013 sold for £3,000 after he announced his retirement.

‌Liverpool fans will be desperate to say farewell to Klopp after the German dropped the bombshell news that he is leaving the club at the end of the season after more than eight years at the helm.

Supporters will be hoping to see the 56-year-old sign off in style by winning the Premier League. When the Reds were crowned champions in 2020, lockdown measures meant captain Jordan Henderson had to lift the trophy in an empty stadium.

‌Liverpool have already reached the Carabao Cup final and meet Norwich in the fourth round of the FA Cup. They are also through to the last 16 of the Europa League.

‌So the game against Wolves may not be Klopp’s final act as manager. But the German has already admitted that it will be a struggle to control his emotions when he walks out at Anfield for the final time.
