Is it wrong to raise ticket prices at this time?
It could be argued either way, with the Blues having frozen ticket prices since 2011 with season tickets. It allows the most loyal of the club s fans to attend matches at a reduced rate of around £37 per match.
Although Chelsea are said to have lost around £40 million in revenue because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, many supporters will have similarly lost earnings or even jobs.
It leaves Chelsea in a difficult balancing act on whether to capitalise on having a relatively small stadium at Stamford Bridge with high demand, or if they should keep pricing flat not to price out lower-earning fans.
