Chelsea official announcement – Struggling to sell out for Newcastle United match


 
 
 
 
 
 

The next Premier League home match for Chelsea is the visit of Newcastle United.

Now on Thursday morning, Chelsea have made an official announcement ahead of the match.

With only 11 days to go before the game, Chelsea have admitted they are struggling to sell their sub-forty thousand seater stadium out for this game.

With the number of tickets still left to sell, Chelsea have announced (see below) that all members and season ticket holders can buy an additional two tickets each, meaning all of them (ST holders and members) can buy three tickets each for the Newcastle United match including their own.

No doubt many Newcastle United members will be looking ruefully on at this news, as it has become incredibly difficult to get tickets for any NUFC home match, never mind a high profile one such as this.

The experience of the vast majority of Newcastle United members this season, from all of the ones I know and the many I have read and heard about who I don’t know personally, the success rate in ballots for St James’ Park is 25 per cent or less for your average NUFC member. So the knowledge that Chelsea members can buy three each for this Newcastle United match is something beyond their (NUFC members) wildest dreams for Newcastle home games.
