My wife and I are travelling to London in time for the Sheffield game Dec 16 (coming from Canada). What’s the best way for us to purchase tickets, it seems so complicated. My question is, do I need to get 2 memberships for each one of us and then get our tickets? Or can I be a member and get 2 tickets? (Are there even any tickets left?)
My other option would be livefootballtickets, which I know people say are sketchy, but recently I’m hearing more positive reviews than bad. Please let me know
I would assume Chelsea operate a similar system to most clubs that have demand issues.
For pretty much any official game it’ll be a case of 1 membership = 1 opportunity to buy a ticket.
What I mean by that is, simply obtaining a membership doesn’t give you any guarentee of actually being able to purchase 1 ticket, let alone 2 together. On their website they’ll likely have windows of what dates each of their membership tiers go on sale, or on ballet, and you have to follow those dates accordingly. The last official route you’ll have is some kind of ticket exchange where season ticket holders sell on their tickets to the members market. Again, demand for these will be high and it’ll be unlikely you’ll get two together unless you get “club level”, but these are usually 2-3x price of a normal top price ticket at minimum.
I know some clubs operate official channels for overseas fans so it might be worth checking these out before you take the gamble of a touted reseller market.
