Chelsea fans have called on the Premier League to investigate co-owner, Todd Boehly’s links to a ticket resale site.
The site offers some seats for thousands of dollars above face value.
Boehly is listed among the board of directors of Vivid Seats.
The Premier League describes Vivid Seats as an “unauthorised ticket website” and warned supporters to “exercise extreme caution” when using it.
Chelsea Supporters Trust have now published an open letter to the league CEO Richard Masters, stating it was time to “act and investigate.”
“Vivid Seats continues to list Premier League tickets for above face value at significantly inflated rates and our members have continued to indicate that Mr. Boehly’s connection with Vivid Seats is a breach of trust and a clear conflict of interest,” the Trust said in a statement.
“Not only does this undermine the efforts of Chelsea FC, the Premier League, and the Metropolitan Police to combat ticket touting (scalping), but Vivid Seats contravenes the Chelsea FC ticketing policy, and is explicitly named by the Premier League as a known unauthorised ticket website.”
