Tickets sold or purchased on the Chelsea FC Ticket Exchange are final and cannot be refunded.

No loyalty points will be rewarded for tickets purchased on the exchange.

Please refer to the Chelsea Ticket Exchange Terms and Conditions, available at www.chelseafc.com.

Posting of Match TicketsChelsea Football Club’s responsibility for Match Tickets ends from the moment the Match Tickets are posted. Chelsea Football Club is therefore not responsible for any failings in the postal system.

Tickets will be posted out for all Home matches approximately 18 days before the match date.

Touting informationIf you pay more than the face value of a Match Ticket or have bought a Match Ticket(s) from a tout or an online ticket agency such ticket will be invalid and you are likely to be refused entry or ejected from the stadium. However, if you send details of the Match Tickets to [email protected] the matter will be investigated and, if the Match Tickets are not forgeries, they will be validated. The unauthorised sale of football tickets is a criminal offence under UK law. Distribution of Match Tickets is only permitted in accordance with the Match Ticket Conditions of Issue and providing the Match Ticket is transferred for no more than the face value of the Match Ticket and the pro-rata part of any administration charge.

Chelsea Football Club will only sell Match Tickets for Chelsea Football Club Matches at face value plus any administration charge.

As part of its anti-touting policy, Chelsea Football Club will not accept cash payments at the ticket office when Match Tickets are on general sale to non-Members. Photographic identification will also be required for all Match Tickets sold on general sale. General sale Match Tickets may also be retained at the Chelsea FC ticket office for collection on matchday only. Photographic identification will be required to collect the Match Tickets. For the avoidance of doubt, Match Tickets can only be collected by the Ticket Holder who placed the Match Ticket order and to whom such Match Tickets are issued.
