Many Blues fans took on social media to protest the difficulty of members of buying home games at home and away, while a Chelsea Trust (CST) survey, which only 17% of supporters had confidence in the Association to face Boehly’s 10% Boeh. commission.
“Live seats continue to list Premier League tickets for the above nominal value with significant inflated interest rates and our members have continued to indicate that Mr Boehly’s connection with live positions is a violation of confidence and clear conflict of interests,” a CST spokesman said.
“Not only does this undermine the efforts of Chelsea FC, the Premier League and the Metropolitan Police to combat tickets, but the live seats violate Chelsea FC’s political tickets and is explicitly named by the Premier League as a well -known ticket website.
“We believe that now is the time for the Premier League to act quickly and ensure that a major shareholder owner of a Premier League club ceases to facilitate the sale of tickets for significant overnight value.”
Chelsea has previously denounced the ticket holders selling their places for profit.
