Boehly's Chelsea ticket site cleared by Premier League
11 Apr
Summary
- Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly's role in Vivid Seats is not a rule breach.
- The Premier League investigated Boehly's involvement with the ticket site.
- Supporters' trust voiced concerns about conflicts of interest.
The Premier League has concluded its review into Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly's involvement with the ticket resale platform Vivid Seats, determining it does not breach league rules. Boehly serves as a director and investor for Vivid Seats, an American website that lists Premier League tickets, often at prices significantly exceeding face value.
This decision comes after the Chelsea Supporters' Trust (CST) raised concerns in March 2025, highlighting a potential conflict of interest and its impact on efforts to combat ticket touting. The CST described Boehly's connection as "unacceptable" and stated that while no rule breach was found, the situation reveals systemic gaps that undermine supporter trust and the fight against scalping.
The Premier League acknowledged that its current policies on ticket touting require further development and has committed to closer collaboration with supporter groups. This follows a meeting between the CST and senior Premier League officials, where the league recognized the need for improvement in supporter protection measures.
