Chelsea fans call Todd Boehly’s Ticket Re -Sales Website Calling an investigation about links | Chelsea

Chelsea supporters of Trust, General Manager of Premier League, wrote to Richard Masters, and called for an investigation into the connections of Todd Boehly’s ticket exchange and re -sales company Vivid seats.

Boehly is a director and investor at Vivid Seats, an American site that allows users outside the UK to buy and sell tickets for concerts and sports activities. British fans cannot use the site or others because it is illegal to sell football Tickets in this way in the UK. The Premier League lists live seats as a “unauthorized ticket website ..

The problem has been the subject of a lot of discussion among Chelsea fans, many of them on social media made it impossible for members to buy tickets for home and displacement games. There were already concerns about the introduction of tickets in the fan base, which led to the members of Chelsea supporters (CST) to conduct a survey on the issue. CST found that only 17% of the supporters trust in the club to cope with Touting, and in 2022, anger was expressed in his connection with Chelsea’s co -owner and president, Boehly. Vivid seats charged 10% commission and a service fee. Chelsea has previously condemned the ticket owners who sold them on their seats for profit.

In an open letter to Masters, CST said that Boehly had “a significant amount of correspondence from the relevant members” and a wider Chelsea fan base on the reports of live seats. A CST spokesman said: “Live seats continue to list significantly inflated Premier League tickets at a significant inflated proportions, and our members continue to show that Mr. Boehly’s connection with live seats is a violation of confidence and a clear conflict of interest.

“This not only weakens the efforts of Chelsea FC, Premier League and Metropolitan police to combat tickets, but also live seats are contrary to Chelsea FC ticket policy and are called an unauthorized ticket website known to the Premier League.

“Now we believe that it is time to make the Premier League quickly move quickly and to ensure that a Premier League club makes a large Shareowner’s ticket sales significantly above the high -level value.”

Football Supporters Association, CST’nin supported the calls supported. A FSA spokesman said: “It is clear that the Premier League should take action. Clubs, supporters groups, police and Premier League has worked hard to fight the ticket in recent years – there is no excuse for a club owner to participate in such an activity.”
