Located close to the upscale avenues of Fulham Road and King’s Road, Chelsea’s reputation for glitz and glamour dates back to the 1970s. Consequently, a number of tourists who come to London make a trip to Stamford Bridge one of their main priorities. If you’re planning a visit and want to know if there are any Chelsea home games scheduled during your stay, you’ll find fixture lists for the upcoming 2022/23 season available online. We’ve also picked out some of the best options for buying match tickets online.
Ticketgum
Ticketgum are currently our number one choice for buying Chelsea tickets online. The sports tickets broker has excellent availability for all games at Stamford Bridge. We found tickets starting at £99 GBP for a game against Leicester in late August. However, for more prestigious games, such as against Man City or Tottenham, prices can be somewhat steeper.
The company works with a large network of suppliers, and the tickets on sale have usually been advertised by fans who can’t attend games and so are looking to resell their tickets. This means that Ticketgum receive the tickets prior to reselling them, so there’s almost zero risk of fakes. Tickets tend to be shipped 2 to 3 days before the fixture at the latest. They also have a very good Trustpilot rating, so you can purchase tickets with optimum peace of mind. When it comes to collection, Ticketgum have designated locations within easy reach of the stadium where you can pick up your tickets – highly convenient when you’ve bought tickets at the last minute – and they also have a hotel delivery service for those staying overnight ahead of the match.
Stubhub International
Founded in 2000, StubHub have grown to become major player in the ticket resale sector. Sellers can price tickets how they wish, but helpfully the website shows you the face value price of each ticket. Buyers can ask for tickets to be delivered physically, as print-at-home, or as a mobile transfer. Availability tends to be very good, and when we searched for Chelsea matches we found tickets on offer for every remaining game of the current season, with prices as low as £95 for less prestigious fixtures. Additional fees for service, delivery and VAT, work out at around £35 per ticket, but to help you avoid a nasty surprise there’s a slider option that lets you view the fees before you book. StubHub also offer a FanProtect Guarantee that helps ensure the tickets are genuine, are the same or comparable with those you ordered, and will be delivered in time for the fixture.
P1 Travel
P1 Travel are our number one choice for hospitality tickets at Stamford Bridge. Their packages include perks such as food and drinks, lounge access, and padded seats to watch games – with seats alongside each other so you can enjoy the action with people you know. At Chelsea, there are a variety of hospitality packages: The most basic is The Sports Bar, which includes East Middle Tier padded seats, lounge access, and complimentary tea/coffee. The Museum package includes most of the same, plus a museum tour a few hours before kick-off. The priciest packages are Under The Bridge, which includes padded seats in the Westview Stand, lounge access, free drinks, an interactive Chef’s table, and small bites; and Canoville/Champions Club, which includes East Stand Middle Tier seats and a sumptuous 3-course dinner. Prices vary depending on the prestige of the game, but start at around £300 per person.
