According to the Daily Mail, Vivid Seats, a company of which is a part of American Boehly, sells “privileged squares” halfway through for ÂŁ 22,738 for the shock Manchester United-Tottenham in San Mames of Bilbao on May 21.
According to IQ, Boehly has 41 % of the ticket office website through his company Eldridge Industries. If other posts for the public are offered at ÂŁ 55 and ÂŁ 204, or even thousands of books, this situation is worrying for the Chelsea co -owner, who was strongly criticized on social networks.
Todd Boehly seriously accused in Chelsea
In March, the Chelsea Supporters Trust complained of this link between Boehly and the website, of which the American is also director.
Their letter stipulates: ” As director and co -owner of the Chelsea FC, Mr. Boehly's links with Vivid Seats are completely inappropriate and considerably compromise the efforts of the Chelsea FC, the Premier League and the Metropolitan Police to combat the cost of ticket sales. What concrete evidence do you have? Mr. Boehly was contacted directly by the CST and was proposed several times to respond publicly and in private to the concerns of supporters. However, neither Mr. Boehly nor his representatives followed up on these requests, and thousands of tickets remain on sale on the Vivid Seats website. ”
It remains to be seen what will be the consequences, if necessary, of this situation. In the meantime, Chelsea, in the race for the Champions League, receives Manchester United in the Premier League on Friday.
