On Thursday, England reacted with surprise to Chelsea’s increase in season ticket prices. Supporters who want a permanent seat in the stands of Stamford Bridge on the long sides will pay more than € 4,600.00 per seat from next season.
Chelsea is therefore implementing an exorbitant price increase. Where a season ticket on the long side will cost ‘only’ £1,250.00 at Stamford Bridge this season, or €1,485.00, the same season ticket will cost £3,900.00 from next season, or approximately €4,630.00. They are the most expensive season tickets that the London superpower will offer. The Blues consider a tripling of the price justified, as the two long sides of the stadium have recently undergone a transformation. For example, the number of dining options and the number of television screens would have been considerably expanded and the WiFi connection in the stands would have been greatly improved.

A Chelsea season ticket entitles you to access to all home games in the Premier League, nineteen in total, plus all home games in the various domestic cup tournaments. The cheapest season ticket from next season costs € 1,780.00 and entitles you to a spot behind one of the two goals. “This must be a mistake. How can the club justify these awards?” wrote one Chelsea fan outraged on Twitter. Another supporter of the club calls the price increase ‘insane’, meaning insane or insane.
Chelsea’s season tickets at € 4,630.00 will be the most expensive in the Premier League. At the moment, the most expensive season tickets in the highest English football division are offered by Tottenham Hotspur, which asks € 2,640.00 for its most expensive season tickets and stays ahead of city rivals Arsenal (€ 2,390.00). Of all Premier League clubs, Burnely is offering its most expensive season tickets this season for the lowest price: approximately €770.00.
