Chelsea fans have urged the Premier League to look into co-owner Todd Boehly’s connections to a ticket resale platform that offers tickets at significantly inflated prices.
Todd Boehly is a part of the board of directors at 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.”
