We wish to take this opportunity to remind anyone attending a game at our stadiums, Stamford Bridge and Kingsmeadow, that all tickets sold for the home areas are for use by fans of Chelsea Football Club only. They are not for use by the supporters of any opposing team at a match.

This applies to hospitality seating as well as general admission areas, and to all season tickets and individual match tickets. This policy is in operation for all competitions, including European matches such as the one against Legia Warsaw in the UEFA Conference League this week.

The only tickets permitted to be used by fans of the visiting club are sold via their own club only.

Chelsea FC appreciates our supporters abiding by these stipulations which are in place to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone who watches a match in our stadiums.

Anyone who is found to have transferred a ticket for use by a supporter of an opposition team will face sanctions. This may result in a 12-month ban from attending all Chelsea matches and the loss of a season ticket should the person involved have one.

A higher level of ticket fraud, such as any involvement in ticket touting (scalping) can lead to an indefinite ban. Ticket touting is a criminal offence.

Please also be aware of our ground regulations and do not enter the stadium with any prohibited items.

There will be extra measures in place at our coming home matches to check tickets are used in accordance with our ticket policy. Any ticket usage found to have potentially breached our ticket policy will be thoroughly investigated.

Please help us with this – and keep all the parts of Stamford Bridge that are for Blues fans blue!
