Chelsea have reportedly completed a new multi-year deal with a huge company in order to fix one big issue they have been facing.
The Blues came from a goal down to score two very late goals to win the game 2-1 against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon in what was a very dramatic game of ups and downs. But for 80 minutes, it was a lot of downs for Chelsea and the woes were continuing. Thankfully, they managed to get two late goals from individual brilliance to win the game.

Still, manager Enzo Maresca did not celebrate the Chelsea win over with the away fans like all the players did at the end of the game, which was very odd. But he has explained his reasoning for this in the post match press conference, although it wont wash.
The fans were furious throughout most of the game though and certainly let the manager and the players know this at half time and throughout the game. Pedro Neto responded to the fan anger in his post-match comments after the game on Sunday.
But back to the main news for this article, and Chelsea have agreed a new deal with Ticketmaster as announced today by reporter Kieran Gill of The Daily Mail.
Chelsea’s new deal
Gill explains that Chelsea have struck a multi-year deal with Ticketmaster in move towards digital ticketing from 2025-26 season.
Chelsea’s chief revenue officer Casper Stylsvig in at the front and centre in the partnership agreement, and he apparently says that he hopes it will help combat ticket-touting issues that the club have seen happening recently.
I’m sure that this will be mainly well by Chelsea fans although I can certainly not see all of them liking this news much!
Ticketmaster are ripoff merchants just like Boahly.
Ticketmaster won’t be doing anything for free. Somebody has to pay for it. Us match going fans. Whoopy fffing doo, more expense for nil return.
How about getting them to zponser us for 50 mill a year give something back for a change
I wonder if getting through the turnstiles will improve
That is just another rip off , for supporters who are members to get tickets
Ticketmaster ARE ticket touts, worse than in fact.
The fans are always getting ripped off now you have ticket master in to rip the fans off even more . Its the board whi are doing the fiddling with tickets at the club nit the fans . Its a arm & a leg to go & watch Chelsea now you want the fans to pay more with ticket master. Ticketmaster are rip of merchants for concerts all over the globe . .Bring back Roman he knows how to run a football club . I’m afraid Chelsea,s days are over because the board we have now are not interested in winning trophys its all about making money that why they are buying young players paying them less & having them on 6/7 year contracts which is crazy because now players will just chill they have nothing to play for . Chelsea are going nowhere in the future you bring all the young talent at the club but it will not work . The board need to listen to rhe dabs but thst is not going to happend . Its funny how the ladies Chelsea) are still picking up trophy s even with a new manageress . I think the current Chelsea boss has not got a clue about anything he is doing at the club & I can see the few quality players we have there now will go for champions league football & to play under a better manager who knows what he is doing. I now suppose with ticketmaster in the helm that the prices of tickets to watch Chelsea play will go up . We done the board you all are sinking Chelsea football Club in to the gutter .
