Purchasing Chelsea FC Tickets through Ticket Compare

If you’re wondering where to buy Chelsea resale tickets, you’ve come to the right place. Ticket Compare has hand-picked a choice of secondary marketplaces and official hospitality resellers, ensuring you can buy tickets for any Chelsea match. Even for games that have sold out. With Ticket Compare you get:

Genuine Chelsea match tickets
Availability for all Chelsea matches
The ability to pinpoint the right price and seat
Price comparison across a lineup of trusted marketplaces

We don’t need to tell you how tough it is to get Chelsea Tickets through official channels. For one thing, you need to build up Loyalty Points to attend the most in-demand matches. So established Chelsea Members and Season Ticket holders get priority, and there is not much hope for occasional match-goers.

By using the secondary market to buy CFC tickets you remove all of those barriers. Maybe you want to plan a weekend in London around a day at Stamford Bridge, and simply have to get to the game. It could be that you don’t meet the strict criteria when one of the big clubs visits the stadium.

Or perhaps you’ve got something special in mind, and want to treat yourself with a luxury hospitality experience. For everyone except for the privileged few, the resale market is the way to go for Chelsea FC tickets.

Receiving Your Chelsea Tickets

The Chelsea ticket office only releases tickets about a week before a match. Whether you’re receiving a mobile ticket or PDF, you’ll likely get your tickets for Chelsea between 1 and 2 days before kick-off.

You will get frequent updates from the vendor, offering any reassurances you might need, and the chance to ask questions about the entire process, from receiving tickets to entering the stadium.

Getting into Stamford Bridge with a Mobile Ticket

In 2023-24, Chelsea FC made it possible to enter the stadium using mobile tickets for the first time, in addition to scanning a season ticket card or printed PDF.

Just scan the QR code, and when the light goes green (amber for CFC concessions tickets), you can head through the turnstile.

Tips for Buying Chelsea resale tickets for the First Time

Ticket Names: Chelsea resale tickets might have another person’s name on them, but they will still function at the turnstile
Higher Prices: Expect to pay more than the original face value of Chelsea FC tickets, particularly for big games
Refund Policies: Review each site’s refund policies to avoid any disappointments
Ticket Delivery: Receiving CFC tickets within 24 hours before kickoff is common, so don’t worry about these tight deadlines
Customer Support: Contact resale marketplaces if you have any queries; they typically offer on-point customer service

Chelsea Ticket Prices

How much are Chelsea tickets? Well, on the primary market they cost a little more than they used to, as there was a 5% rise for the 2024-25 season.

Today, a general admission adult Chelsea ticket will cost between £58 in the shortside lower tiers and £80 in the East and West Stands. We should point out that a very limited number of cheap Chelsea tickets are available in the East Lower Family Centre, starting at £46.

The cheapest Chelsea ticket prices are for Category B games, while the most expensive are Category AA games, which are matches with the highest demand. We’ll explain these match categories a little later.

On secondary marketplaces the Chelsea ticket price will often exceed the original, ‘face value’, cost of the ticket. On these platforms, demand is the thing that drives the price up, so you can expect a higher price for CFC Tickets if the opponent is a big team, or if the match is a big occasion. Getting Chelsea tickets cheap can be a challenge, but if they’re out there Ticket Compare will help you find them.

What You Need to Know about Chelsea Tickets

A Chelsea Membership will help give you access to tickets for certain matches, but it will never guarantee that you can buy Chelsea tickets. Far from it.

The demand for primary market Chelsea FC tickets is so fierce that the club uses a range of measures to try to distribute them fairly, favouring long-term fans over newcomers.

Chelsea FC Match Categories

If you’re buying Chelsea tickets on the primary market, the price will fluctuate according to the opponent. Let’s have a look at the opponents that fall under which category:

Category AA - Marquee opponents like Liverpool and Manchester United, as well as London Derbies
Category A - Long-term Premier League opposition, like Everton, Aston Villa and Newcastle
Category B - Lower-table teams including newly promoted clubs outside of the capital

Chelsea Loyalty Points and Why They Matter

When you buy CFC tickets through official channels, Loyalty Points are vital. By collecting Loyalty Points you’ll stand a better chance of qualifying for certain matches, and may even gain enough for a Chelsea Season Ticket. Remember that Loyalty Points are wiped at the end of every season.

Chelsea Loyalty Point Allocation

One point

Home and Away Premier League matches vs Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, Man United, Spurs and home and away matches in the Premier League
When qualified, UEFA knockouts.

Three points

Chelsea Matches Sold Using Loyalty Points

FA Cup semi-finals
Home and away matches against big Premier League teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, Man United and Spurs
Away games in the South of England, against the likes of Bournemouth, Brentford, Palace, Fulham, Southampton, West Ham will also be sold on a loyalty-point basis where possible.

How to Get Away Tickets for Chelsea?

If you’re going through official channels, Chelsea’s away matches go on sale 28 days before a given fixture. The allocation is divided 60/40 between Chelsea Season Ticket holders and CFC Members. As we mentioned, priority is often given to fans who have built up the most CFC Loyalty Points.

New Chelsea Members need not apply, unless the tickets are for an unglamorous away game, a long way from the capital. As with all PL away games, Chelsea away tickets are capped at £30 from primary outlets.

Chelsea Concessions Tickets

As with other Premier League clubs, 65 or over is considered senior for Chelsea FC Tickets. These concession tickets offer a large discount, at less than half the price of an adult general admission Chelsea ticket.

Club Chelsea Hospitality Tickets

If you’re ready to spend big on an unforgettable day out, there’s an extensive choice of Chelsea matchday hospitality packages. Each one offers luxury padded seats, complimentary match programmes, extended hours, and superb views. Depending on which package you choose, there’s a range of other perks, from buffets to four-course fine dining. We’ll list them here, in descending order of price:

Frankie’s Sports Bar (from £390) - Seating in East Stand near the goal line, pre-match three-course dining, complimentary bar
The Rose & Ball (from £390) - Pre-match three course, hot and cold food, appearance from a Chelsea legend, complimentary bar

The Dugout Club (from £1,900) - Seats next to players’ tunnel and behind dugout, access to players’ arrival experience, drinks vouchers, signed Chelsea FC shirt

Above are the official prices for if you go directly through CFC’s hospitality platform, Club Chelsea. Note that these tickets can be significantly more expensive for matches against high-level opponents.

As the price of resale tickets is affected more by supply and demand, it’s not unusual to find these tickets cheaper on the secondary market and official resale sites listed on Ticket Compare.

Chelsea Matchdays at Stamford Bridge

Dating back to 1877 and home to Chelsea since 1904, Stamford Bridge is the only stadium the Chelsea first team has ever had. The stadium is part of a complete mixed-use development, sometimes called Chelsea Village, with hotels, restaurants, London’s largest football museum (closed on PL matchdays), the Chelsea Megastore, and residential buildings.

Getting to Stamford Bridge

Chelsea FC has the most centrally-located stadium in the capital. This makes for excellent public transport connections, but you should always avoid driving to Stamford Bridge on matchdays.

For many fans, the main route to the ground will be via Fulham Broadway Underground station (District Line), which is less than five minutes on foot. Naturally, you can expect things to take longer on matchdays.

There are two London Overground stations within a 15-minute walk of Stamford Bridge, at Imperial Wharf and West Brompton, both on the same line, linking with Willesden Junction and Clapham Junction.

Three TFL bus lines, the 414, 211 and 14, serve the area, while there’s space for bicycle storage at the Stamford Gate on the south-east side of the ground.

Tips for Match Days at Stamford Bridge

Turnstiles tend to open two hours before matches
No bags larger than a piece of A4 paper are permitted
The club advises that you’re in the ground at least 30 minutes before kick-off
There are early-bird offers on food and drink on the concourses
Selfie sticks, rattles and air horns are not permitted at the stadium
If there’s an evening kick-off it is possible to book a stadium tour in advance
You can send ‘shout outs’ that might be displayed on the stadium’s big screen

Where is the best place to sit at Stamford Bridge?

Matthew Harding Lower, with all of the most committed and loudest Chelsea fans. That’s if you want a lot of singing and fans who will not sit down for the entire game. For views, the place to be is the West Stand, as close as you can get to the halfway line.

Stamford Bridge Ticket Office

Contactable only by phone during normal office hours in the week, the Stamford Bridge ticket office has a physical window open on matchdays. You’ll find it to the rear of the Shed End, between Frankie’s Bar & Grill and the Chelsea Megastore. Here are the various matchday hours for Chelsea ticket information at the ground:

Saturday 3 PM kick-off: 10.15 AM – half-time
Saturday 12.45 PM kick-off: 9.15 AM – half-time
Saturday 5.30 PM kick-off: 12.15 PM – half-time
Sunday early kick-off: 10.15 AM – half-time
Sundays 4 PM kick-off: 11.15 AM – half-time
Midweek evening matches: 10 AM – half-time

How many away fans are allowed at Chelsea?

The away allocation at Stamford Bridge is around 3,000 seats, which is the standard for Premier League Stadiums with a capacity of more than 30,000. For Premier League matches, the away section is found in Shed Lower and Shed Upper, in the south-east corner of the stand.

Tips for Away Fans at Stamford Bridge

Local bars for away fans are limited, but Courtfield, across the road from Earls Court Underground Station, about 20 minutes on foot, is the usual gathering point
The away concourses have TV screens showing latest Premier League scores and match highlights
The away section is next to Stamford Bridge’s Family Centre, and always feels safe despite the small division gaps
“Early Bird’ offers apply for pints, soft drinks, pies, hot dogs and combos

Stamford Bridge Accessibility

Age UK ranks Stamford Bridge as one of the top three best stadiums in the Premier League for disabled supporters. Here are a few facts:

193 Home Wheelchair Spaces
30 Away Wheelchair Spaces
335 Home Easy Access and Amenity Seats
21 Away Easy Access and Amenity Seats
16 Accessible Toilets
2 Changing Places Facilities
Three Accessible Entrances (Britannia Gate, Bovril Gate, Stamford Gate)

Chelsea Membership

Available with an annual fee, Chelsea Membership is a fine way to support the Blues and get tickets. Chelsea Membership offers a lineup of benefits which we’ll cover below.

There’s a variety of membership tiers, each offering something different. For adults the main ones are Chelsea Premium Membership (£90) and a Ticket Only Membership for £40, without the frills.

Chelsea also offers membership packages for Teen Members and Junior Blues (£32). Be aware that these are UK-specific prices, and that customers in Europe and the rest of the world will pay a little extra.

If CFC tickets are all that matter to you, all three tiers give you the same access. However, each one comes with different additional gifts and benefits, from club store discounts to special offers on stadium tours and access to media content. Find out more in our complete guide to Chelsea Membership.

What Are the Benefits of Being a Chelsea Member?

If you’re buying Chelsea tickets through official channels, a CFC Membership gives you access to the crucial priority window, long before tickets go on general sale.

The other great advantage of Chelsea Membership is the opportunity to earn Loyalty Points. Earn enough and you may qualify you for a Chelsea Season Ticket or be able to purchase tickets for the most coveted Chelsea matches, as we showed above.

In 2024-25, the club introduced a few brand new benefits, including:

Exclusive Chelsea Member-only ballots to win free Chelsea tickets for every single home Premier League match
Exclusive CFC Member and Season Ticket holder events
A personalised digital membership card

If Chelsea FC membership isn’t for you, learn how you can buy Premier League tickets without a membership.

How many tickets can I buy as a Chelsea Member?

One, at the start of the sales window for CFC Members. After that, Chelsea FC’s ticketing policy loosens up, as we’ll show here:

Week 1 – One ticket per Chelsea FC member

Week 2 – Two extra tickets per Chelsea Season Ticket holders and Chelsea Members (maximum of three per person)

Week 3 – General sale (four tickets per person)

Almost no matches ever make it to Week 3, so don’t count on any Chelsea FC tickets going on general sale.

The Chelsea Ticket Exchange

This platform allows Chelsea Members to relist their ticket for other members and for Chelsea Season Ticket holders. The service, available through the Chelsea ST holder and Members’ portal, is live for every fixture before the day before tickets go on sale. The Chelsea FC Ticket Exchange then stays up until 3 PM on the final working day before the match, for last-minute Chelsea tickets.

The drawback is that you don’t earn CFC Loyalty Points for purchases made on the Ticket Exchange.

Chelsea Season Tickets

There are 28,000 fans with a Chelsea FC Season Ticket. Although that’s quite a high proportion of the Stamford Bridge capacity (40,341), it’s low when compared to other clubs.

Season tickets account for 50,000 seats at Old Trafford, while across London, West Ham has 55,000 Season Ticket holders. As we’ll show, getting a Chelsea Season Ticket is not for the faint hearted.

What does a Chelsea season ticket entitle you to?

Chelsea tickets for 19 home Premier League Games
Access to the Chelsea Ticket Exchange
Access to Exclusive club events
Access to the Loyalty Points System
Priority access to Chelsea away tickets

What is the Waiting List for a Chelsea Season Ticket?

There is none. Unlike almost every other Premier League club, CFC Season Tickets are sold according to how many loyalty points fans have accrued. The amount of loyalty points needed to qualify for a Chelsea FC Season Ticket varies from season to season. Let’s have a look at the requirement over the last few years:

2024 - 148 Points

2023 - 136 Points

2022 - 147 Points

So rest assured it’s not easy to buy a Chelsea Season Ticket. If you wanted to get one in spring 2024 you would need to have attended almost an entire season of matches. You also have to attend all those games in a single season because Chelsea Loyalty Points do not roll over from one campaign to the next.

Chelsea Westview Season Tickets

While the price of a Chelsea FC Season Ticket was frozen for years under Roman Ambramovich, the premium non-hospitality package rose sharply recently. That is because Chelsea Westview Season Tickets have been given a newly revamped, exclusive concourse.

Costing between £1,745 and £3,980, here are some of the advantages of a Chelsea Westview Season Ticket:

Ultramodern concourse with seating throughout
Views across London
Two 360° bars
Three big screens
State-of-the-art enhanced connectivity
A brand new food hall with a diversity of food and drink choices

Chelsea Tickets FAQ

Who is Chelsea’s all-time top goalscorer?

Frank Lampard, with 211 goals in all competitions, and 147 in the league. Next on the list are Bobby Tambling (202), Kerry Dixon (193) and Didier Drogba (164).

Why does Chelsea have a lion on their badge?

The lion comes from the coat of arms of the Metropolitan Borough of Chelsea. The rampant posture of the lion is borrowed from the coat of arms of the former club president Viscount Chelsea (1937-2023), while the staff comes from the arms of the old Abbots of Westminster, former Lords of the Manor of Chelsea.

Why are Chelsea F.C. called Chelsea?

Because the name, Fulham F.C. was already taken. Stamford Bridge is in Fulham and not Chelsea. But when founder Gus Mears bought the stadium in 1904, he picked the name of the adjacent borough for his team. Fulham F.C. had been established more than 25 years before, in 1879.

Why is Chelsea’s Ground Called Stamford Bridge?

The name of Chelsea’s stadium comes from a bridge on the stream that flowed through the area. This stream is now called Counter’s Creek, but before the 1700s was known as ‘Stamford Brook’. The Fulham Road crosses the old route of the now redirected stream on the south-east side of the stadium at the railway tracks. The existing bridge dates to the early 1860s.
