# Liverpool: Fans applaud club for cutting ticket prices for Shrewsbury Town replay

**Liverpool fans have applauded the club for their move to reduce ticket prices for their side’s FA Cup fourth-round replay against Shrewsbury Town.**

The Reds were held to a [2-2](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51208528) draw against the Shrews on Sunday despite being 2-0 up early in the second half. Jurgen Klopp controversially decided that he would be [playing his younger side](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51272898) during the rematch and that U23s boss Neil Critchley will take charge of the team. As a result, the club felt it was necessary to slash ticket prices for the game, in stark contrast to those of regular home matches.

Liverpool will charge £15 for adults, £5 for young adults and £1 for children, the [club’s official website](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/tickets/384669-liverpool-v-shrewsbury-town-fa-cup-replay-ticket-details) revealed. Klopp wanted to [honour a letter](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/11919811/liverpool-slash-ticket-prices-for-shrewsbury-town-fa-cup-replay) that he received from the Premier League back in April 2019, where they were told not to organise international friendlies or competitive matches during the winter break. He had already [promised his players](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/11919811/liverpool-slash-ticket-prices-for-shrewsbury-town-fa-cup-replay) that he would give his players some time off, which he will stand by.

Check out some of the best Twitter responses from Liverpool fans down below…

> Morally right thing to do. Hope LFC have arranged to cover the shortfall with Shrewsbury in some way.\
> Personally think the adults ticks should have come down to a tenner but overall good stuff.

> A great opportunity for people that might never see a game. If anyone has a ticket and doesn’t want to go support the youngsters I hope they don’t bitch when they can’t get a ticket for a “big game”.

> There still need to run the stadium, pay staff, create a usable revenue to share with Shrewsbury. Not fair to charge full price if we are not playing the first team. Seems a good compromise.

> Agree. I was wondering how many home fans would turn out to watch the youth play. After all it’s not Everton is it…I hope the will be well supported.
