“Liverpool is one of the most welcoming cities I’ve ever been to: I did all the tourist stuff of visiting Beatles museums and the Cavern Club when I went. But Anfield is simply out of this world – whether you’re in the Kop or not, seeing the Liverpool faithful in full voice is something you’ll never forget. It’s tough to get tickets but if you can, make sure you get there for a European fixture. It’s arguably the most iconic venue in sport after sunset.”

Additional Members Sales on a match-by-match basis then take place before each home game. This is where members can snap up tickets ahead of games that still haven't been sold.
If you are a local member – that's anyone with an L postcode – tickets will be available online approximately four weeks before a match. Should tickets go on general sale, they will be available approximately one week before the game.
Liverpool can't put them up for sale any further away, due to Premier League kick-off times changing. Fixtures could also be moved after you've bought your tickets.
Be sure to check LiverpoolFC.com depending on the fixture in question.
Do I need to become a member of Liverpool to get tickets?
No – although does help.
"For the majority of games demand for tickets significantly exceeds supply, with most fixtures selling out well in advance of the actual day of the game," Liverpool claim on their site. Tickets will go on sale to members first, before going on general sale, meaning that you stand a better chance if you're a member of the club.
Away tickets are sold on a points basis, with fans who go to more matches rewarded with more points. Liverpool have very little information about purchasing away tickets on their site but information for tickets can be found at LiverpoolFC.com.
