It comes as no surprise, but Liverpool have no authority over the prices secondary sites charge – although the club has the ability to take legal action if any fan is caught selling their season tickets. 

The Mirror quote an industry employee saying: "Liverpool v Wolves is the big ticket in football because fans want to be there, especially if Liverpool are going for the title on the last day, fans from overseas are willing to pay anything to be there if history is made.

He continued by saying: "Of course, it's a gamble for fans. Liverpool may not even be in contention for the Premier League come May, if they've a blip and fall away people will have spent thousands for a ticket worth face value but that's the game."

Any big occasion has the ability to attract a crowd willing to pay big amounts to be a part of the experience, and the moment Liverpool could potentially lift their first Premier League title is something every Reds fan will want to experience at Anfield. 

These prices may still rise depending on Liverpool's form and likeliness of winning the league along with the demand for tickets. The more fans willing to spend the amount advertised, the more exclusive the ticket becomes.
