How to Get Liverpool Tickets If You're Not a Member
Liverpool
← Back to all articlesGetting Liverpool tickets if you are not a member is one of the hardest jobs in English football. Anfield now holds just over 61,000 people after the Anfield Road Stand was rebuilt, and still nearly every Premier League game sells out to season ticket holders and members long before the public gets a chance.
Go to the club's site without a membership and you meet a system built on credits: how many games you have bought in past seasons decides whether you can buy at all. Add a season ticket waiting list that is closed to new names, and a first-time visitor or a fan flying in from abroad has very few official options.
This guide explains how Liverpool tickets are sold in the 2026/27 season, what each route costs, and how to buy Liverpool Premier League tickets without a membership, step by step.

Why Are Liverpool Tickets So Hard to Get?
Demand for Anfield is far bigger than the ground, and the club rewards loyalty above everything else. Each home game's tickets are released in a set order, and by the time one stage ends there is usually nothing left for the next.
How Liverpool Sells Its Home Tickets
- Season ticket holders: they hold most of the seats for every league game, and the waiting list to join them is closed to new applicants.
- All Red members with 13 or more credits: they are guaranteed a ticket for every Premier League home game in the main All Red sales, held in July and November.
- All Red members with fewer credits: those with four or more can enter a ballot for a set number of games; those with fewer than four can only enter the ballot for certain games.
- Additional members' sales: anything left goes back on sale to members shortly before each match.
- The Ticket Exchange: season ticket holders and members who can't attend can sell their seat back through the club, but only to other members.
Credits come from buying tickets in previous seasons, so a new member starts at the bottom. Paying £42.99 for All Red Full gets you into the system, not into the ground.
Do Liverpool Tickets Go on General Sale?
Almost never for Premier League games. The club runs a small Local General Sale for fans with an L postcode, drawn by ballot shortly before some home games, and the odd cup tie reaches a wider sale. For everyone else, league tickets do not reach a public sale.
How to Get Liverpool Tickets If You're Not a Member: 3 Options
1. Buy From a Resale Marketplace: Love1Ticket
For tourists, occasional fans and anyone who wants to go to a particular game, resale is the realistic route. Love1Ticket lists Liverpool tickets from verified sellers for Premier League, Champions League and cup games at Anfield and away.
- No credits needed: you don't need a membership, a purchase history or luck in a ballot.
- Choose where you sit: filter by area, from the Kop to the Main Stand, and by how many seats you need together.
- Prices shown include fees: the price on the listing is the price at checkout.
- Guaranteed entry: every order is covered, and mobile tickets reach your phone before the match.
Resale tickets can cost more than face value, and Anfield is one of the dearest grounds in the league on the resale market. Prices usually climb as the game gets closer.
2. Official Hospitality
Liverpool sells matchday hospitality without a membership, and a large share of Anfield's seats are now hospitality. Packages include a padded seat, food and drink, and usually go on sale months ahead.
- Pros: no credits or ballot, and a guaranteed seat on the day.
- Cons: the most expensive way in, and you will not be in the Kop.
LFC hospitality tickets on Love1Ticket started from around £550 for the biggest October game when we checked.
3. Join All Red and Build Credits
If you live near Liverpool and want to go regularly, an All Red membership is the official long-term route. All Red Full costs £42.99 a season, and the cheaper Light option also gives access to ticket sales. It gets you into the ballots and the additional members' sales, and every ticket you buy earns a credit. Expect it to take seasons, not months, before you can count on the big games.
Buying Liverpool Premier League Tickets Without a Membership, Step by Step
- Open the Liverpool tickets page and choose your game.
- Pick an area on the Anfield map: the Kop, the Main Stand, the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand or the Anfield Road Stand.
- Set the number of tickets, so you only see seats that are together.
- Check the price, which includes fees, and any notes on the listing, such as home fans only or adults only.
- Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, Klarna and more. Your mobile tickets arrive before kick-off.
The same steps work for Liverpool Champions League tickets and away games.
Liverpool Ticket Prices: What Will You Pay?
Liverpool puts each home game into a category based on the opponent:
Category A: Manchester United, Everton, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea. The most wanted and the most expensive on resale.
Category B: established top-flight sides such as Aston Villa, Newcastle and Brighton.
Category C: newly promoted clubs and early cup rounds. The best chance of cheap Liverpool tickets.
When we checked Love1Ticket on 10 October 2026, a typical league game such as Liverpool vs Brighton started at around £145, while Champions League and League Cup games at Anfield started from about £95. The big games cost far more: Liverpool vs Manchester United tickets started at around £260, and seats for the Manchester City game the day before kick-off ran from about £400 to over £500 depending on the stand.
For the lowest prices, look at midweek European and cup games, and book league games early.
Liverpool Digital Tickets: What Happens After You Buy
Liverpool tickets are digital and live on your phone. There is nothing to post and nothing to collect, which makes it simple for fans travelling from abroad.
Tip: add your ticket to your phone's wallet the day before, and make sure your battery is full. Everyone in your group needs their own ticket on their own phone to get through the turnstile.
Your Anfield Matchday Guide
Getting to Anfield
- No station at the ground: Anfield is about two miles from the city centre, and there is no train or tram stop next to it.
- Soccerbus: on matchdays, shuttle buses run from Sandhills station (Merseyrail Northern line) to the stadium.
- From Liverpool Lime Street: take a bus or taxi, or walk it in about 45 minutes. Allow extra time; the roads around the ground close and get busy.

Bags
Only small bags are allowed into Anfield, and there is nowhere to leave luggage. Drop suitcases at your hotel first.
Where to Sit at Anfield
- For atmosphere: the Kop, behind the goal. This is the heart of the singing.
- For the view: the Main Stand and the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand, along the touchlines. The Main Stand's upper tier shows the whole pitch.
- For something different: the rebuilt Anfield Road Stand, with a big upper tier at the opposite end to the Kop.
- Away fans: sit in the Anfield Road Stand.

Liverpool Tickets: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I buy Liverpool Premier League tickets without a membership?
Through a resale marketplace. League tickets at Anfield go to season ticket holders and members with credits and do not reach general sale, so non-members buy from verified sellers on sites like Love1Ticket, with no membership or credits needed.
How do I get Liverpool tickets if I'm not a member?
Your options are resale, official hospitality, or the small Local General Sale if you live in an L postcode. For most fans, especially visitors, resale is the only way to choose the game you want.
Can I buy Liverpool Champions League tickets without a membership?
Yes, on the resale market. European home games are sold to members first, but Love1Ticket lists them from verified sellers, and they are often cheaper than the big league games.
How does the Liverpool Ticket Exchange work?
Season ticket holders and members who can't go can sell their ticket back through the club's Ticket Exchange. Only members can buy from it, so it isn't open to non-members.
Do Liverpool tickets go on general sale?
Premier League tickets don't. The only general sales are the Local General Sale for L postcodes and occasional cup games.
How much are Liverpool tickets?
It depends on the opponent and the stand. On Love1Ticket in October 2026, a typical league game started at around £145, European and League Cup games from about £95, and the biggest games from £260 upwards. Resale prices can be above face value.
How long is the Liverpool season ticket waiting list?
The waiting list is closed to new applicants, so a season ticket is not a realistic option for new fans. Members build credits instead, and non-members buy on the resale market.
Can I get Liverpool away tickets without a membership?
Not from the club, which gives its away allocation to season ticket holders and members with away credits. Non-members can buy away tickets from resale sellers, for example Everton vs Liverpool tickets.
Where do away fans sit at Anfield?
In the Anfield Road Stand, at the opposite end to the Kop.
Can tourists buy Liverpool tickets?
Yes. You don't need a UK address or a membership to buy on Love1Ticket, and mobile tickets work wherever you are travelling from.
Is it safe to buy Liverpool tickets on the resale market?
Buy from a marketplace with verified sellers and guaranteed entry. Stay away from social media sellers, WhatsApp groups and anyone who wants a bank transfer, because there is no protection if the ticket isn't real.
Final Thoughts
Liverpool's credit system makes Anfield very hard to get into as a non-member, but it doesn't mean you can't go. At LOVE1TICKET buying tickets for Liverpool is easier than ever. Pick your game, choose your stand, book early, and hear "You'll Never Walk Alone" for yourself.
