"When tickets for major matches are appearing on resale platforms at hugely inflated prices, it makes clear that the system simply isn't working for regular fans. You can buy a seat in the same block I got mine for $470 on Vivid Seats. People are confused and upset that there is this clear conflict of interest."
"Mr. Boehly should be at the forefront of the fight against ticket touting in his role as chairman, but instead he is linked to a company charging eye-watering amounts of money."
Chelsea fans express confusion and anger over Vivid Seats, a resale platform partly owned by Todd Boehly, selling FA Cup semi-final tickets at inflated prices. Ticket prices range from $200 to $2,308, far exceeding the face value of $30 to $150. The listings appeared before tickets were available to season ticket holders. Although the listings are not visible to UK customers, they can be accessed using a VPN. Fans criticize Boehly for a conflict of interest, as he should combat ticket touting in his role as chairman.
