Liverpool fans have the chance to sit behind Jurgen Klopp in his final game at Anfield – but it will cost $32,000 (€25,000).
The original ticket price for Klopp’s emotional farewell was $23,000 (£18,000/€21,000) on a resale site, for a total of $31,112 (£24,480/€28,638) including VAT and service charges . These seats are located in Block L5, in front of the Anfield Main Stand, just behind the dugout. These seats are one of the best seats in the house, but Liverpool are selling them for just $76 (£60/€70).
According to the Daily Mirror, this means that resale websites will make a profit of 40,700%.Cheaper seats are available for the match against Wolves on May 19, but will cost around $2.5,000 (£2,300/€2,300) before taxes and booking fees. Tickets for Sir Alex Ferguson’s final game as Manchester United manager in 2013 sold for $3,800 (£3,000/€3,5000) after he announced his retirement.
Liverpool fans are keen to say goodbye to Klopp, who recently announced he will be leaving the club after eight seasons. Fans will be keen to see the 56-year-old manager end his tenure on a high note by winning the Premier League title. When Liverpool won the title in 2020, captain Jordan Henderson had to receive the trophy in an empty stadium due to lockdown measures.
Liverpool beat Norwich today to progress to the Carabao Cup final and the 5th round of the FA Cup. They also advanced to the round of 16 of the Europa League. So Klopp’s final game against Wolves may not be his last as manager. But the German admitted it will be difficult to keep his emotions in check during his final away game at Anfield.
