I agree with most of that. The authorities should change the rules on away tickets, currently the home team can charge the away team the same amount as the equivalent seating home team prices, but this is open to interpretation. The rule at the very least should see the away fans paying the same as the home fans do on their "end", so in Liverpool's case the away fans pay the same prices as those on the Kop. I don't think away fans should get a better deal than home fans though, as I have seen suggested, if anything paying the same is the fairest option.
I think your last paragraph accurately describes what is happening at Liverpool though. There are only 200 77 pound tickets in the ground with the bulk of other tickets being much less that this. As you say there will be corporate "fans" willing to take up all of these so the average fan will not be forced to pay anywhere near those prices.
